Nintendo has published an interview Iwata conducted with three of the developers for the upcoming Mario Kart Wii (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/mkwii) title. The interview is full of interesting tidbits on the Mario Kart Series (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/series/kart) as a whole, with revelations to those unfamiliar or new to the series. Here's a snippet:
Iwata: Why did you decide on using Mario?
Konno: Well, in the very first prototype, there was a guy in overalls sitting in the kart.
Iwata: Wait just a minute! I can't let that slip by. Did you just say a guy in overalls?
Konno: Sounds like Mario, doesn't it? It wasn't like I forgot to put Mario's beard on him or something, though… (laughs)

Well, there was always some guy in overalls in most of the old Nintendo games, so I guess that shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
-
Yeah, this was a good interview, and those are some interesting prototypes for the wii wheel, although I don't see Nintendo using it past this game, unfortunately...
-
Since it would be sort of sad if there were nothing but a screw there, we thought it would be more fun for people watching someone play if there was a blue ring on it.
(laughs)

Konno: a new character has joined in from Super Mario Galaxy
Hmmm I wonder who that could be... *cough ROSALINA cough*
-
While I'm 98% expecting Rosalina, I would not be entirely surprised if it was Dino Piranha, as a partner for Petey. That would be stupid, though.
Still hoping for Pauline and Stanley.

No, it's totally going to be Bouldergeist.
