This is a list of pre-release and unused content for Mario Kart Tour.
Closed beta[edit]
 A portion of the character select screen On April 23, 2019, Nintendo opened applications for participating in a closed beta test of Mario Kart Tour to Android users in North America and Japan, which began on May 22, 2019 and ended on June 4, 2019.[1] The following lists the features included in the beta version of the game.[2] Several of the characters, karts, and gliders listed were not made available in the final game at launch.
General[edit]
- Rubies were originally emeralds.
- An element seen in other free-to-play games that was included in the closed beta was a stamina bar consisting of five hearts total. One heart would be consumed every time a player raced, and once the stamina was depleted, players would not be able to play until it recharged. Players would replenish hearts when they leveled up, if they waited out the timer, or if they purchased hearts with rubies.
- Originally, there was no way to speed up the unlocking process for the cups restricted by timers.[3] In the final game, this can be done using quick tickets.
Characters[edit]
Most of the characters retain their special items in the final game; however, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina, and Lemmy's special items are replaced by the Bubble, Morton's special item is replaced by the Giant Banana, Larry's special item is replaced by the Boomerang Flower, King Boo's special item is replaced by the Lucky 7, and Ludwig's and Rosalina's special item is replaced by the Dash Ring. Additionally, in the beta, both Rosalina and King Boo were classified as High-End characters, whereas in the final version, they are classified as Super characters instead.
Super Rare[edit]
The beta only featured one tour, named Retro Tour.
