And here's the list of secret characters revealed so far:

Koopa Troopa
Toadette
Petey Piranha
Waluigi
Shy Guy
Dry Bones
R.O.B. the Robot, not the StarFox one, but the "Robotic Operating Buddy" peripheral from the NES.

First in-game pics of Dry Bones. Damn those pics are horrible quality though.

And here's the final final US boxart complete with the Wi-Fi logo and "Game Experience May Change During Online Play" under the E for Everyone. I've come to the conclusion that the boxart is so boring because if you had an exciting boxart in addition to the sweetness of the game itself you would experience sensory overload.

All fun aside, the kart's that these character's are assigned to are so f---ing gimmicky that it almost makes me want to transfer my loyalty to another racing series.

Nothing says, "Fun" like racing with Princess Peach in her gender role specified pink kart! Or how about Luigi and his vacumn-mobile!!! Vroom-vroom! Because after all, the only time the character of Luigi was ever affiliated with a vacumn-like device was in a rather ****ty Gamecube launch title in 2001! If this doesn't satisfy your racing urges, go bananas with Donkey Kong is his Rhino-Racer! Cause I'll be damned if any animal is going to be allowed to drive in a vehicle that has even a shred of dignity and class! If being discriminated and treated like a second class citizen doesn't float your boat, choose Mario. Does Mario drive a FLUDD waterpack shaped kart? Nope. How about a mushroom or fire-flower since he's employed those items extensively throughout his career? Nope. Mario gets to drive the fastest, coolest looking, white kart which looks like a standard racing vehicle!

With all the whoring Mario's been doing he can afford such a nice kart.

Hmmm. GM has a point there. Im REALLY looking forward to this one.

DK on a motorcycle with the Bullet Bill weapon.

And Wario seems to be riding a tractor...

The battle mode is still "Get Shine." Will Sunshine ever be behind us?

Oh man, a paint mode? This game just sounds better and better every time I read about it.
