Double Dash 2 was what I mentioned. Using the GamePad to aim and throw items while the other player drives. Battle mode options, etc.

That sounds pretty sweet, but how would it work with only one Gamepad? If you wanted to do 2 vs. 2, one of the teams wouldn't get the Gamepad advantage.

@OP: I think the Gamepad will be used conservatively in Mario Kart Wii U. Acting as an additional screen would be ideal since it would allow a fifth player to join each race. And maybe it could work as a rearview mirror during single-player action. Other than that, I don't know what else Nintendo could do. Maybe an asymmetrical multiplayer mode where the Gamepad player can manipulate items in a battle arena or something?
