It's generally accepted that Diddy Kong racing completely woops MK64 in single player, but MK64 wins in multiplayer.
Anyway, the idea of giving special unique abilities to each character is a good one.
Birdo is that pink creature that spits eggs from SMB2(USA). He's also been in a few other Mario games, like Super Mario RPG. All things considering, it's appearence isn't a surprise, with new characters like Baby Luigi showing up (All he did was sit in Kamec's dungeon! What use is he? :D).
Diddy Kong of course is a cool little guy, and now Nintendo is going to cash in on Rare's little creation using Nintendo's liscense.
Well, it's all sounding cool. Here's the question. Will the speed increasing coins make a come back?
Even if not, this seems to be something that will be far and above what MK64 was (MK64 just being a 3d version of MK). I wonder if they will decide to go all out on a single player adventure ala Diddy Kong Racing?
On top of that, they have system link going on. The big question there is if it will support using a hub/switch/router to link up to 4 systems together, or if they will just support 2 system link. If it's 4 system link, all 16 playable characters can be used in a single race! It sucks that true online support will be lacking, but gamespy pseudo support using some tunnel software is better than nothing.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
