What Char Do you play as on mario kart DS?

sorry for the double post mods.

but i found out something i thought was interesting after doing a large amount of time trials.

For anyone who knows of the delfino square alley way short cut (by the docks if you dont know, theres an alley with two boxes, mushroom through the alley for a short cut, and prefferably power slide so you dont fall off the cliff.) but i found out, when youre heading to the alley/curve there is a platform and the docks. the platform comes first. if you mushroom off the platform onto the docks and do a mini turbo on the curve its actually faster than mushrooming the alley . thought that was kinda cool. its like a 1-2 seconds faster if you do it right.
