The new characters will include Petey Piranha, Wiggler and Kamek the koopa magician. These characters were previously playable in Mario Kart: Double Dash, Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart Tour, respectively. They were teased in blank character select panels added with the previous wave of DLC back in March. 

A new bathroom-themed course named Squeaky Clean Sprint was also shown off, featuring shampoo spills, soap bubbles and water sections in a filled bathtub.
