A couple of Mario Kart DS news have popped out today, here we go.

First, Daisy has been confirmed as one of the eight hidden playable characters of the game, this was confirmed thanks to an image from a brochure where you can see her at the positions list on a race. Check out the image here.

Text chat has also been confirmed for the game. You will be able to write messages to your friends altought it is unkown how the chat system will work we do know that you will only be able to talk to people you give your MAC code to. This is specially done to protect younger MKDS players from being approached via chat by strangers.
