The models of the characters are from ''[[Super Smash Bros Melee]]'', and [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are seen in this trailer of a very early build of the game, driving separately, each in a simple, blue [[kart]]. It was originally called ''Mario Kart for Nintendo GameCube'', and it is likely that this early build of ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' was overhauled for the final game, as it resembles nothing like it.

An icon and trophies for a Reverse Cup have been found, which possibly could mean that a cup where the racers drive the tracks backwards was planned. Presumably, this would function like the "reverse" tracks eventually seen in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', with tracks that are impossible to drive backwards being modified to make it possible. The trophies are upside-down cups.<ref name="The Cutting Room Floor">[[tcrf:Proto:Mario_Kart:_Double_Dash!!/Multi-Game_Demo_Disc_Demo#Reverse_Cup]]</ref> In addition, early character icons have been found featuring [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] instead of [[Diddy Kong]].<ref>[[tcrf:Proto:Mario_Kart:_Double_Dash!!/Multi-Game_Demo_Disc_Demo/Unused_or_Early_Graphics#Early_Character_Icons]]</ref> A button with the text "best {{wp|Engrish|rap}} time" can be found in the demo's code.<ref>[https://smallmariofindings.tumblr.com/post/637074986172039168/the-demo-version-of-mario-kart-double-dash Small Mario Findings]</ref>

The swimming [[Noshi|Nossie]] from the [[GCN Dino Dino Jungle|Dino Dino Jungle]] track has textures for four color variants. Only the yellow and red textures are used, possibly because the first two are not as visually distinct enough from the blue, four-legged Nossie.
