This game's [[Retro Grand Prix]] was going to include a few more tracks, such as [[Mario Circuit]] from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' (which was incomplete in that it featured no [[Goomba]]s or [[Piranha Plant]]s.  Dismantled for the new Mario Circuit.), [[Koopa Troopa Beach]] (under the name "Nokonoko Course") from ''Mario Kart 64'', and ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Block City]] battle area. There was also an mysterious "Dokan Course" stage with little theme and [[Moo Moo Farm]] music, as well as a simple, circular test area smaller than even [[Baby Park]]; both of these (and the latter one for sure) could've been debugging stages not planned for inclusion in the final game. Waluigi Pinball was also slightly different (mostly in texture and music, the latter of which was strangely from [[Yoshi Falls]]) in betas, and demo copies of the game actually showed it with quite a few object differences (such as more bumpers and a less direct launch towards the beginning). The demo version also depicted [[DK Pass]] with (perhaps more thematic for its eponymous character) a grassland theme rather than a snow one and a lone [[Thwomp]] near the finish line, as well as many other small differences mostly regarding walls and jumps. Finally, demo version guides released for stores by Nintendo depicted the [[Chain Chomp]] (which could not actually be retrieved in the demo version itself) as an item; it is presumed that this Chomp munition would work in a manner similar to that of the Chain Chomps in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', making it likely that Chain Chomps were removed from the game in favor of [[Bullet Bill]]s (although the listing of the Chain Chomp in these beta guides may have been a simple mistake, though this is unlikely).
