Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

Mario, Yoshi, Toad, Daisy, Donkey Kong, Luigi, Wario, Koopa Troopa, Waluigi, Toadette, Peach, and Bowser. I'm probably guessing that the characters that were available on the E3 2013 demo ARE the starting characters, while all the other confirmed characters - the babies, Rosalina, the Koopalings, Metal Mario, Shy Guy, Lakitu - are the unlockables.

So that means, the starting characters will be playable in the upcoming(rumoured) eShop demo.

Exactly where was that rumored?

There's a Yoshi bike in this game. You never know.

Yoshi deconfirmed.

For PAL regions, this is called the Bowser Bike.

Here's what the Mario Kart 8 loading screen looks like.

It’s black and white-coloured with a right-to-left scrolling marquee at the bottom of the screen that displays some of the characters (default racers) as well as the text “MARIOKART.

If you unlocked any more, will it change?

I don't think so. The footage showed the characters that were revealed at and after the December 2013 Nitnendo Direct, but none of them were on the loading screen. I think the characters that were available during the E3 2013 event are the starting characters for this game.

Extremely unlikely chances for Dry Bones/Petey/King Boo...

I wouldn't rule out a hidden row though. I don't see why they WON'T return King Boo or Dry Bones.

That is true, but even then Petey still has low chances.

Oh yeah by the way if Funky returns I'll gouge out my eyes.
