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.

Now I have a idea for yoshi's egg!! the egg can be something like yoshi's ( ->+B) special attack in SSBB, the egg will roll in one direction hitting everyone in the way and when it hit some object of the track it will blow away everyone near in a big explosion... damn! i got so carred away by this topic, but maybe it'll be like you said, they're just representing itens from previous nintendo's games (i hope not)
