Nintendo recently updated its character profile and Mario Kart history pages on the Japanese Super Mario portal website. Unfortunately these new descriptions are currently only available in Japanese, but it's easy to enjoy the artwork and design.
In a neat touch you can listen to character sound effects in their bios, as well as see a bit of artwork. The Mario Kart history page also looks fantastic.
Of course, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is just around the corner, so there's plenty of excitement and nostalgia around the franchise at present.

Mario Kart 64 - my favorite
Double Dash was the first MK game I played, but I played MK Wii most. I love both.
HI I'M DAISY
Yay! They added Daisy...now add her amiibo suit to Mario Kart Deluxe.
Reminds me about how they gave up on interesting names and just decided to go with numbers. I wonder if they'll actually go with Mario Kart 9. 7 is "lucky" and 8 fits the whole upside down mechanic, but idk how they'll tie in 9 with anything.
@Gluff You don't look like Daisy :/
Mamma Mia! x2
@memoryman3 - Not sure if you do this Daisy stuff just to be funny or you mean it. Seen you on YouTube and now here. I don't know to laugh or shake my head or both.
Man, I wish we got this stuff in the UK. I wish we could learn more about the characters themselves, maybe in a Wario's Warehouse-esque way.
One step closer to a Waluigi game.
Mario profile translated with Google Translate.
Cheerful and cheerful, everyone's popular. Twin brother, Luigi is a good friend and a name combination.
With sports utility, I will do everything cool, tennis, baseball, soccer and car racing.
Actually, there seems to have been work of "plumber" a long time ago ....
I love Peach Princess, and if Princess Peach is in trouble, I will go help at any time.
With a good jump and various power-ups, I will face a bad guy.
It kinda sounds like a poetry.
"Hi, I'M DAISY!"
"Hi, I'M DAISY!"
"Hi, I'M DAISY!"
"Hi, I'M DAISY!"
"Hi, I'M DAISY!"
So glad the site have sound clips, I could listen to Daisy introducing herself all day long X3
Mario Kart well be 25 this year!
I just found out Birdo was in Mario Kart Wii! I never played online, and barley single-player, mostly locally. Never knew they were in the game...
Hi I'm daisy
@Aozz101x Oh my gosh, so it is! Why isn't Nintendo doing anything?
I'm glad there is NO character with name MARIA.
If Nintendo make a Bad version of MARIA, It will become WARIA (Warui Maria) and at the same time in my language Indonesia, WARIA = WAnita (Woman) + pRIA (Man) aka Bencong (TransGender). LOL LOL LOL
Oopsie... too much spoilers.
@UK-Nintendo
Liar.
You are Mario, right ? XD
No Rosalina
I would love an HD Double Dash Sequel!
I'm the weiner!
Waluigi needs his own game.
@MasterWario well for the power ups, they had Lucky 7 and Crazy 8 so they could do is Cloud 9. Maybe they'd pull a Duffy Kong Racing and add airplane racing?
The website and overall is so slick! Love it, what a trip down memory lane
My body is ready for some MK8D!

@samuelvictor
Ow...
Birdo is a Trans...
I see...
@memoryman3 You are here too!?
@Som64 I love that, you done any others?
@ShadJV Now that would be an interesting idea. Hopefully Mario Kart 8 won't be the only Mario Kart game on the Nintendo Switch and they will break the tradition of one Mario Kart game per console release.
@gaga64
You can try this yourself if you have Google Chrome as your browser or you can copy and paste the character descriptions into Google Translate.
But these are the ones that I found most interesting... But it's not their whole charachter description just a part of it.
Luigi:
"Mario and Luigi, if they are equal, they are hundreds!
The trademark is a green shirt on a green hat. Compared to Mario, it is a little tall.
And when you look closely, the shape of the beard is slightly different."
Yoshi: "I swallow the whole fruit and enemy character with a long tongue of pride and turn it into eggs."
Bowser: "Peach Princess is rubbed off to do evil, but every time it is tormented by Mario, they have failed ... .... "
"It is owner of strength, fire from the mouth is a powerful full mark!"
Here is a alternative translation of the last sentence:
"The owner of steroids, foil from stomatitis is compelling!"
Wario: "A splendid, fine thing, but is a personality that does not worry too much, you have what also president of the company called "Wario Company".
Favorite things is garlic. Whatever you want is your money."
Ver. 2
"It is gorgeous, I do not care much about details, but I am also president of a company called "Wario Company".
What I like is garlic. What you like is money."
Waluigi: "In order to store the Mario and Luigi and fight the power, it seems to be working hard at that hidden, also pretty hard worker of one side."
If you want all the characters and their whole description just let me know.
@Som64 cheers! Bowsers is simultaneously hilarious and disturbing
I love that the Mario Kart Double Dash Japanese site has a section going over items called "To get gud". https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ngc/gm4j/03.html
