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?

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.

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.

Re: Mario Kart 8

If there's one month left I don't really care if there is a demo or not. One month isn't that long of a wait.

I really hope there is a demo. Has it been confirmed yet?
Yes (confirmed by Nintendo reps at WonderCon), but I'm not sure when.
I literally asked that a few posts above that and then you didn't know what I was talking about. Really.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

So the game only uses around 4.83 GB on the Wii U hard drive? That's a lot less than I was expecting, seeing as Tropical Freeze used over 11 GB.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I am laughing so hard right now. Baby Rosalina didn't bother me (to be honest, neither of them do) but Bronze/Metal Peach is so ridiculous it hurts. This just put a big goofy smile on my face, I think it's because I know the reaction will be bad and I can watch everyone get angry.

'Metal Mario was used a lot in MK7, they must want more!'

Rainbow Road looks miles better than the MK7 one, Bowser's Castle is awesome, NDS Wario Stadium looks to be a Retro Course and that level that starts in the MKTV thing and takes you down a mountain in a way that kind of reminds me of snowboarding looks amazing.

But seriously, metal peach master race.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

That was entertaining. I am not disappointed in the slightest.
