Horseshoe Gulch
Value: 10
An unfinished track that looks like an ordinary track, but isn't circular. The AI racers just drive around seemingly randomly. One of the arches is untextured.
In the US v1.0, European v1.0, and Japanese versions, Wizpig appears in the map on his rocket and flies in a set path. This map was likely used for testing the AI.
Sequence Area
Value: 24
The Adventure Mode intro cutscene uses an earlier version of the main hub world which contains a few differences compared to the final version. Since this map can't be explored normally, these differences can't be seen.

Behind the starting point, the log has a chunk cut out of it that was filled in for the final version.

The area leading to Snowflake Mountain was originally a grassy area.

The tunnel leading to Dino Domain was originally much longer and had some vines growing in it.

A German promo video included footage of more complete versions of the above Dino Domain and Snowflake Mountain areas.
This map contains an out-of-bounds warp which can be seen at the bottom of the image.
Front End
A cube with a different color for each face. This map is loaded into memory during certain menus, but is never visible in-game. This map also exists in Mickey's Speedway USA and Jet Force Gemini.
Snow Mountain
A snowy version of the Dino Domain boss track. Other than being slightly shorter, this map is mostly the same.
Lagoon
A lagoon map that seems to be an early version of Darkwater Beach. It has an anchor and some trees which use the same textures as the walls.
Volcano
A volcano-themed track that seems to be an early version of Hot Top Volcano. Note: the balloon seen in the first screenshot isn't part of the level.
Jungle
A track that is very likely an early version of Jungle Falls. Several waterfalls, a tunnel, and a pyramid can be seen. The collision doesn't always match the track model, so you'll sometimes be floating in the air.
