A demo of the game is included in volumes 27-30 of the Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc. The title screen of the demo uses the early logo, though the final logo is used in the demo selection menu. The main menu of the game's demo has eight boxes in total like the Japanese release of the game. The previews which were localized for this demo features slight formatting differences compared to the final release, including the capital letters of the header text being smaller and the "For 1 to X Players" being formatted as "For 1 to X players." The preview for Toy Field shows it was originally themed after ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and shows in the sky [[? Block]]s, [[Brick Block]]s, and a [[Warp Pipe]] as they are arranged in the beginning of [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]]. In the preview for the minigames, the top-left picture was replaced. Early variations of the title screen music, victory theme, and results theme are present as well.
In the final release of the game, a baseball bat can be found within Petey Piranha's files. In-game, he uses his arms to hit the ball. Early versions of Challenge Mode's level icons are present in the game's files. They use rudimentary artwork based on their designs from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', with the exception of the Flower level's icon which is based on the Fire Flower's design from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.
