Mario Kart Wii/Beta elements

From the Super Mario Wiki

These are beta elements from Mario Kart Wii.

[edit] Beta Elements

The game's original name was going to be Mario Kart X when it was still in development. Also, the designs for Standard Kart S, Standard Kart M, and Standard Kart L were different, as well as the HUD. Also, Boo was supposed to be in the game, but King Boo replaced him.

When all of the files are extracted from this game, a course called "old_mario_gc_b" is found^[1]. It is just like GCN Mario Circuit, the fourth course in the Leaf Cup, but the difference is that there is no Chain Chomp, The Pirahna Plants are not in Warp Pipes, and the player's icon goes off of the screen as there is no map. This could be a course used for future tournaments, or it could be a simple debugging stage.

An early screenshot shows Donkey Kong going down a snow cover hill that looks similar to DK Pass, this might of been an early design for DK Summit or probably DK Pass was going to be in this game. Also an early clip shows DK racing on the same race track, also when the blooper shot its ink at the player, the ink were actual spots of ink like what a real world squid does out of water instead of a sticky, gooey splat of ink.^{[citation needed]} Also, some scrapped characters founded by expert hackers were supposed to be in the game: Petey Piranha, Hammer Bro. and Paratroopa. The player icons are in the final game as unused files.^{[citation needed]}
