Title: Why does the WR for NBC use the Koopa Clown?

Does anyone know why the WR for NBC (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMxQCQUulMQ) uses the Koopa Clown instead of the B Dasher? The B Dasher has a superior speed stat, and is used in most WRs. Why not this one?

Superior handling makes strats that would be impossible with the b-dasher possible with the koopa clown. In the case of NBC, the better strat makes up for the lack of speed

The reason [ch1057][ch1080][ch1088][ch1080][ch1091][ch1089] (WR holder) uses the koopa clown instead of B dasher is to achieve tighter lines and it makes it easier to do the shroomless turncut, execute wall boosts, and glider cuts. I understand that B Dasher is faster and actually has a pretty good handling stat too, but Koopa Clown beats it in the handling aspect making it more efficient for NBC WRs to use, even if its slower. I even used B Dasher in my 1:47.246 time because koopa clown didn't work for me.
