-There are 36 total playable characters in ''Mario Kart 8'', consisting of 16 default characters, 14 unlockable characters, and 6 characters obtainable through the game's two downloadable content packs (''[[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|The Legend of Zelda × Mario Kart 8]]'' and [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']]), with each pack having three characters.<ref name="VGVideo">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fEa51c-wJ8c</ref> Including DLC characters, there are 13 new playable characters, being the seven [[Koopalings]], [[Baby Rosalina]], [[Pink Gold Peach]], [[Cat Mario|Cat Peach]], [[Link]], [[Villager]], and [[Isabelle]], with the Koopalings, Baby Rosalina, and Pink Gold Peach making their overall playable debuts, and the latter two also making their overall debut in any game. In addition, [[Shy Guy]], [[Metal Mario]], and [[Lakitu]] are playable in a ''Mario Kart'' game for a home console for the first time after previously being playable in at least one handheld console installment. Similarly, [[Tanooki Mario]] makes his first appearance in a mainline ''Mario Kart'' game after previously appearing as an alternate costume for Mario in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]''. Updates have been released that allowed suits to be unlocked by using [[amiibo]], which allow Miis to resemble characters such as [[Samus Aran]] and [[Sonic the Hedgehog]].

 Even though there are a total of nine groups of characters sharing the same statistics, the official site divides the initial 30 characters in three weight classes dependent on the weight of the character: light, medium, and heavy.<ref name="MKBweight">[http://mariokart8.nintendo.com/wiiu/drivers/ ''Drivers'' section of the official North American site of ''Mario Kart 8''].</ref> Unlike other ''Mario Kart'' games (barring the use of glitches), multiple players can use the same characters, both in local and online play.
