The reason Mii says Weight changes, is because the Size of your Mii character decides its weight in Mario Kart.
What does Weight do in Mario Kart?
Weight in Mario Kart determines your acceleration and speed. The lighter your character the faster acceleration it will have. But the heavier your character is, the faster speed it will have. So there isn’t exactly a case of which weight is the best, but rather which weight is suited to your playstyle.
Another thing to remember is the heavier your character is the more it will become difficult to handle them. But again, while this might sound like a bad deal, heavier characters can’t be pushed around by lighter characters.
So you should experiment with the different characters and Karts in the game to see which weight as a whole works the best for you.
