I've seen three screenshots, available on www.nintendo.co.uk and they alone reveal these characters are racable:
(That pink thing that fires eggs from Mario Bros 2)
Baby Boswer
Baby Mario
Bowser
Daisy
Diddy Kong
Donkey Kong
Koopa Troopa (YAY!)
Luigi
Mario
Para-troopa
Princess Peach Toadstool
Yoshi
Whether these are all of them, I don't know - and what's up with the two characters on each kart? Possibly a new mode?
Secret characters perhaps...?
FUDGING BRILLIANT!
I want Wario and Waluigi, as then it would be 15, and not so... odd, even though it would be odd.
Ha!
*Drools*

It's the first brilliant news of the game...EVER! (solid proof that Motes wasn't joking about it being finished).
What's more, I can't find any mention of it on the official Japanese website and the official American website doesn't even have any details on the game!
Ofcourse, a release would be better, but it doesn't work like that.
Anyway, Mario Kart games have always been about eight selectable characters, presumably, each character can drive and so that makes a much bigger set of characters for me to try out on release.
I'm excited.
But then the 15 character method wouldn't quite work...
You can connect two cubes together for eight player.... 8x2 = 16.
There will be 16 characters. Probably more!
KOOPA TROOPER IS BACK!
Missing out Wario and Waluigi, who could well be secret characters... and... they've missed Toad! He'll probably be the other secret.
16! :-D

Because Mario Kart is the name of the game.
