Today we've got news about two more secret characters that will be unlockable in Mario Kart 7. And they're a couple of bugs!

Nintendo Power is reporting that in addition to newcomers  Metal Mario and Lakitu, the characters Wiggler and Honey Queen will also be getting behind the wheel for the first time in Mario Kart 7.
Wiggler is the gigantic caterpillar enemy who first appeared in 1991's Super Mario World and has been a regular fixture of the Mario franchise since. He's served as a common foe, a boss enemy and a playable athlete in some of the sports spin-offs – though he may be finding his true calling with Kart racing. Those extra arms will allow him to throw items and hold onto the steering wheel simultaneously, after all.

Honey Queen is the new name being given to the Queen Bee character who first made her debut in 2007's Super Mario Galaxy. Her body's been shrunken down considerably to be able to fit inside a kart, as in her prior appearances she was so enormous that Mario could crawl around on her body .

Nintendo Power also hints that there are more secret characters yet to be revealed, too. We are looking forward to seeing them soon!
