this is not complete. there is a character missing - rosalina. you can unlock her by having a super mario galaxy game save or star ranking several races

I believe she is the forth one on the list, good point however that you have to have a star ranking.

I believe off the top of my head that you have to get either first or second place in each race to unlock the extra cup tracks. I shall look into this further for you and get back to you.
