Is this a sneak peek at new items in Mario Kart 8?

my theory:
DK Barrel- boost item, really helpful when you're falling because shoots you back to the track
1 up- barrier, protects you from one hit
cheep-cheep fish- distract item, the fish jumps on the screen blocking your view, if you touch on another kart you'll pass the item to the kart's owner that you've touched

 

 

Edit: don't have any idea about yoshi's egg

Very interesting ideas! For the Yoshi's egg, it could be a giant egg that you roll out and it bounces around the course, or it could basically be a reskin of the Giant Mushroom, where you turn into the giant egg. I has no idea about the "?" Block though.

@ OP: When they said based on game items, did they specify which game? If not then they probably just meant what they said, being that these items are from nintendo games.
