Hm, Mario Kart 9 seems to look pretty similar to MK8. I had hoped for a new art direction / style.
I made this FOSS template for easy reuse.

No, but it wasn't footage from Mario Kart 8.
Super Mario Kart 8++ Ultra 2
Super Switch 2: Turbo Championship Edition and Knuckles
It’s doesn’t say Mario Kart 9 but that does look like new character models to me. I’m expecting them to drop the numbering system and go back to subtitles anyway though.
I keep hoping for Mario Kart Ultimate with every retro track, but I know I'm just setting myself up for disappointment.
That would be cool, but super challenging to do.
From the exec perspective on that I don't see them justifying the hours to do it vs the appeal to gamers now.
Even if it didn't, so you really think that Nintendo won't make Mario cart 9?
A thing I just thought of is that it'd be super cool if - by using the joy con as a mouse - they had a track creator mode where you could share custom tracks.
