A person claims to have advance info from the next issue of Nintendo Power (though it is entirely UNCONFIRMED RUMOUR right now). The info was mixed in with already confirmed facts, so take with a grain of salt: -Not all of the drivers from previous installments will be returning from DD and MKDS. Don't expect any of the Pac-Man characters from the Arcade games. -About 75% of the drivers are unlockables. There is a ridiculously large amount of drivers. -Hammer Bros., Toadsworth, and Dixie Kong are new drivers. -There will be an original character (possibly more than one) introduced in this game (similar to Toadette's introduction in DD.) -Expect a major comeback from a past Mario character similar to Birdo in Mario Tennis as a driver (I'll keep this one a surprise.) -There will be a new stage called Retro Raceway that pays homage to classic Mario games. -A good number of the tracks will have more than one way to reach the finish line. Expect lots of hidden paths. There are also a lot of traditional racing tracks with no shortcuts whatsoever. -The Blooper item from MKDS will be brought over into MK Wii. -There will be some items that can only be used by motorcycles and some that can only be used by traditional karts. -The Ice Flower from Super Mario Galaxy is an item. It creates an icy trail in your path for a short amount of time that players can slip on.
