I haven't played this series since the SNES 30 years ago. Do the different characters still get different power-ups from the cubes? Because that was always what I picked based on.

This is the case on Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (GameCube), on the Arcade GP series and Mario Kart Tour (smartphone).
In all other games, character choice doesn't affect item distribution.
The items you get are the same, but maybe the frequencies are different? I never heard of that being the case, only that the weapons you get depend on your position in the race (you get better weapons when doing worse in the race).
But I also didn't realize this was the case on SNES. I only ever played the SNES version as a young kid, and it was a Japanese NTSC version on a PAL television through a cartridge adapter and it was pretty janky.
