It's interesting, and the tackle/boost buttons are especially odd and not usually the kind of thing you'd see in a rumor like this. Not to say it gives it any more credibility, but it is that weird detail.

If it is true, I am totally fine with more Nintendo characters on the roster. That said, I really hope that if the tracks are based on Nintendo worlds, they still make them unique and distinct from each other. Tracks are by far the most important part of Mario Kart, so if they take a Smash Bros. approach and give us all kinds of different Nintendo series tracks, I really hope they don't follow that exactly and just go with the most basic "first area" stages they tend to go with in Smash. I can imagine them having a Mushroom Kingdom grassland, Hyrule Field, Gaur Plain, Green Greens, etc. and I just don't like the idea of all these samey track designs.
