They mentioned it in the treehouse that you can switch it on. 

Unless you mean he's the first to mention it here.

Cow, best Mario Kart character ever confirmed.

Not sure why they're bothering to add any other characters tbh. Everyone is going to choose cow.

Cow Kart World.

They're gonna need to put a PEGI 16 rating on this, now.

I mean, look, you can totally see her nipples!

That's obscene, maybe!

We've seen Mario's already. Slowly going to end up seeing everyone's.

I am not sure exactly what this is but it seems like there are extra temporary vehicles on the tracks that you can change into ?

I guess the trailer in the Direct showed a driver driving into the inside of a truck and then controlling that for a short while so I assume it’s the same situation here but with some kind of hovercraft.

Yeah, pretty much, but that footage makes it a lot more clearer that you, the player, control this big vehicle, instead of it being a Bullet Bill kind of deal.
I imagine in a race you can use it to ram other players and flip them over.

I do wonder if there's some method of stopping first place just getting there first and nicking it in a race.

I'll have my complete thoughts written up on my time at the Switch 2 Experience and all the games in the main Switch 2 thread tomorrow, but to share the only thought I can (and want) to cohesively string together right now:

I played as Cow. Exclusively. Several times. There was a multiplayer race (closest I've ever come to a LAN party and I loved it), and 10 of 24 of us were Cow. 

That is all

They tried to get you to stop but you would not be kowtowed. They told you to moove but you udderly refused and now Nintendo's got beef with you.

Oh lord, this really is going to be Funky Kong all over again, isn't it?

All these great obscure Mario characters playable for the first time, and you pick one that isn't even a thing.

No better then Pink Gold Peach, you know?

If it wasn't Cow, I think it would've been Goomba 

But there is Cow

So no Goomba

I watched a few videos of people at the Switch 2 event and it seems Cow was the most chosen racer:
