As of Wave 4, this theory has been disproven. This would free up four spots on the current character select screen. The theory went that these four characters will get stacked with their respective original characters (Mario and Peach) and become variations in the same way Link and the Inkling characters function. Although the bug was reverted in Wave 3, some thought this was an intentional change. These included Metal Mario, Tanooki Mario, Pink Gold Peach, and Cat Peach. When Wave 2 was released, a bug was introduced where several characters were no longer considered rival characters. Previously, there was an interesting theory that implied we’ll get four characters total. Poochy already appears in the Yoshi’s Island track so his inclusion is unlikely, especially because Poochy does not appear in the Tour version of Yoshi’s Island.

Characters like Pauline and King Bob-omb technically came out after Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but tracks from Tour have already received the returning status. First, the press release states “returning characters” will be added in future waves. Is it possible we’ll get even more characters? Nintendo hasn’t said they wouldn’t, but realistically we’re looking at six total. Five more characters are coming to make a total of six new characters in the Booster Course Pack. The addition of Birdo as a playable character extended the character select with an additional column. How many characters are getting in? Thanks to the release of Wave 4, the speculation can finally end. There will be at least five additional characters coming in future waves. Birdo is currently the only confirmed character set to return, but she comes with a set of nine different colored variations. New playable characters are a thing! And it only took until Wave 4 to make it happen. Update (4/14): Athens Dash (Tour) added to Likely section after getting announced for Tour.
