Some resetera users are posting screenshots from the beta. It looks like the game uses a Gacha mechanic to unlock characters, here you can see that Luigi is a rare character.
Each character has a special ability, based on the map. For instance Toadette being used on 3DS toad circuit gives her 3 item slots in the race, but 1 in other maps. Luigi gets the 3-item bonus on the Luigi’s mansion map.
200cc is in the game.
Will update as more information becomes available.
