Kirbs and 60fps

Just saw a video from Youtuber Limiteless where he discusses the kirbs and how the console players aren't affected as much because the game is capped at 60fps, at least on Xbox. Other comments mention that if you lock your frame rate on PC at 60fps the kirbs will also act different and you won't feel their effect as much and ,consequently, won't spin and lose the car as much. 
Haven't had the time to try it myself. Can anyone confirm that locking the fps at 60 on PC actually changes how the kirbs behave? 

If it does make a difference it's just another oversight, and a big one since the game has now crossplay and it gives a big advantage to console players over PC players who usually play at higher frame rates.

  • @ArkaniaDante I’m on ps5 and play at 120fps…. I have seen that video and posted a link to it on another thread. And he has talked about it in previous videos. He plays on all platforms and he does know the game well and I do listen to what he has to say on the game and find him more often than not correct
  • @ScarDuck14Right.
    I am going to test it for myself tonight when I boot up the game but I saw many comments on that video stating that it does affect the gameplay, at least kirb wise. It wasn't just one or two people saying it.

    And to give credit to Brendan he was faster than Jarno even with this.

    @Ultrasonic_77 I think EA community team will soon be wishing they hadn’t given me the POWER. Now I’ve got the slack place to chat about nonsense. No ranting just rambling 😀
