It's too early to know all the events and modes right now, the 40 characters are restricted in the 3DS version but it's already obvious they won't be in the Wii U version.

It's also to early to know if you either get all 40 characters open once you get the game or have to unlock them in the game

I also have no idea how all 40 characters can appear in the character select screen, we'll just have to wait and see
