===Default Characters===
Image	Name 	Weight Class	Description
 	Toad 	Feather 	Toad is a small, notable member of the species with the same name. Even though Princess Peach uses him as a shield every once in a while, he's still extremely loyal to her. Toad is once again ready to race with the others.
 	Koopa Troopa	Feather 	Koopa Troopa is normally a common enemy of Mario, but Koopa's decided to turn to his good side and race nicely with the others. Sadly, no one ever said that Koopa Troopa wouldn't use his Koopa Shells...
 	Peach 	Light 	Princess Peach (simply called Peach in this game) is the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. She's often kidnapped by Bowser, but luckily isn't this time. This gives her some time to race.
 	Yoshi 	Light 	Yoshi is a famous dinosaur and old friend of Mario. He has many abilities; eating things with his long tongue, throwing eggs, and even ground pounding. But this time, he uses his racing ability.
 	Mario 	Medium 	Mario is the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom. He's done many things; golfing, adventuring, and most notably jumping. But he's going to prove that no one can beat him at racing.
 	Luigi 	Medium 	Oh, hey Mario! I like those new clothes! Wait...no. That's Luigi, Mario's overshadowed little brother. He's always been trusted less than Mario, but Luigi can prove that he's amazing.
 	Wario 	Cruiser 	Wario is Mario's cousin and second-biggest rival (first is Bowser). Wario is greedy, sturdy, and disgusting. Wario is heavy, so he can knock others around easily, but he needs to work on his Acceleration.
 	Waluigi 	Cruiser 	Same way Wario is Mario's second-biggest rival, Waluigi is Luigi's second biggest rival (King Boo is first). Waluigi is like the opposite of Wario in terms of appearance, but is identical to him in terms of personality.
 	Bowser 	Heavy 	Bowser is the heaviest default character in the game, so he can push others around easily. Even though he's usually out kidnapping Peach, he's decided to be nice for now and race with the others.
 	Donkey Kong 	Heavy 	Donkey Kong was once Mario's biggest rival (that was before Bowser came along). Donkey Kong is strong, heavy, and powerful. Therefore, light characters should avoid him.
===Unlockable Characters===
Note that unlock characters, you must race against them and win, similar to how you have to unlock in the Super Smash Bros. series.
Image	Name 	Weight Class	Description
 	Toadette 	Feather 	Toadette is the cute little sister of Toad. We just don't know if she's the only Toadette or if she's one in a species. We all do know that she's excited to race, though!
 	Dry Bones 	Feather 	Dry Bones are undead, skeletal versions of Koopa Troopas. They can be jumped on and resurrect. Dry Bones is seemingly one of the less evil guys, though. He's appeared as a nice character in various games.
250px	Shy Guy 	Feather 	Shy Guys are small, mischievous enemies that like to cause trouble. No one knows what's under its mask but Luigi, but Luigi refuses to tell what's under there. More people try to find out what's under the mask than race with him.
 	Luma* 	Feather 	Lumas are very small star-like creatures that help Rosalina out. This Luma helped Mario out throughout the Super Mario series. Luma is the lightest character in the entire game.
 	Daisy 	Light 	Daisy is Luigi's love interest and is also the princess of Sarasaland. She is featured less than Peach, but is still notable and famous. Daisy has been a racer for a while now, so she's going to race again.
 	Birdo 	Light 	Birdo is a dinosaur, just like Yoshi, and is a famous member of her species, just like Yoshi. Birdo and Yoshi are actually very similar, and are rumored to be in a love relationship. Anyways, Birdo's come to race, not to date.
 	Diddy Kong 	Light 	Diddy Kong is often called Donkey Kong's song, but he's actually DK's nephew. Diddy Kong has been in the series to race a few times, and has decided to race again.
 	Bowser Jr. 	Light 	Bowser Jr. is Bowser's favorite son. Bowser Jr. is treated like a prince (and sometimes even a king) by his father, so Bowser Jr. is really spoiled.
 	Hammer Bro.* 	Medium 	Hammer Bros. are somewhat common enemies that Mario encounters a lot. However, this time, Hammer Bro. is nice. Even though he's not going to pelt Mario with hammers, he's still going to try and win.
 	Kamek* 	Medium 	Kamek, leader of the Magikoopas and Bowser's caretaker, is now in the race. He'll try to win against his "son", just to prove he should've been in Mario Kart 64.
 	Mii Outfit A 	Medium 	Miis are human-like avatars that are used a lot on the Nintendo 3DS. This one is dressed in racing gear while racing.
 	Mii Outfit B 	Medium 	Miis are human-like avatars that are used a lot on the Nintendo 3DS. However, this one is dressed like Mario (males) or Peach (females)
 	Donkey Kong Jr.	Cruiser 	This little guy has been absent in Mario Kart for a very long time. Good thing he's come back! Well, due to new artwork, he's gotten a bit of a redesign. His heavy body still hasn't changed, though!
 	King Boo 	Cruiser 	King Boo is the king of all Boos, big and small. He's big, but is actually lighter than some of the Lightweights. He's only a Cruiser because of his size. But we can all tell that the intimidating size can scare you!
 	Wiggler 	Cruiser 	Wiggler is the wiggly and notable member of the species. Wiggler seems quite light, but is actually pretty heavy. We just can't tell what gender it is; some think it's a boy, but its voice is so girly.
 	Sledge Bro.* 	Cruiser 	Sledge Bros. are fat, big Hammer Bros. These guys have decided to be nice, too. Due to their extremely large size, they've gotten a spot in the Cruiserweight group.
250px	Dry Bowser 	Heavy 	Dry Bowser is Bowser when he fell in the lava back in New Super Mario Bros. Dry Bowser is basically the Bowser form of Dry Bones, and since Bowser is so heavy, Dry Bowser is heavy.
 	Funky Kong 	Heavy 	Funky Kong is Donkey Kong's brother, and possibly Diddy Kong's father. Funky Kong is a cool, relaxed dude who's always there to help his brother. Now, he's back to racing.
 	Rosalina 	Heavy 	Rosalina is the famous, amazing, immortal ruler of space. She's very important, and has visited Earth to come and race with the others once again.
 	Petey Piranha 	Heavy 	Petey Piranha, the famous Piranha Plant, has come to race again, even after his absence starting with Mario Kart DS. Petey is very heavy, and is actually the heaviest character in the entire game.
===Premium Characters===
Image	Name 	Weight Class	Description 	Cost
 	Koopa Kid* 	Feather 	Koopa Kid DID fall in the lava and perish when he was defeated in Mario Party 7, but Kamek cast a spell on his dead body to bring him back to life. And now, he's ready to cause some more trouble! 	$2.99
 	Paratroopa 	Light 	Paratroopa first started racing as Koopa Troopa's partner in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Now, he doesn't always have to have a partner, and is on his own, racing. 	$2.49
 	Miii Outfit C*	Medium 	Miis are human-like avatars that are used a lot on the Nintendo 3DS. However, this one is dressed like Luigi (males) or Daisy (females). 	$5.49
 	Metal Mario 	Cruiser 	Metal Mario is the metal version of Mario. Even though he's appeared as both a power-up and antagonist, this time, he's the antagonist one (even though he's nice in this game). Metal Mario is Mario, but he's gained lots of weight because he's made out of metal.	$3.99
 	Pianta 	Heavy 	Piantas are a large, heavy species that reside in Delfino Isle. If you buy him, Pianta will come to race and have a good time! 	$4.49
