Unused Areas

To do:
Replace the rest of the in-game screenshots with proper model rips.

CHARACTERSELECT

DATA/WORLD/CHARACTERSELECT contains a photography room with a white screen and studio lights. It bears a resemblance to a room seen at E3 2009.

KARTSELECT

DATA/WORLD/KARTSELECT contains an untextured, cross-shaped room with a platform in the centre, most likely meant to house the player's kart.

MODSTUDIO

DATA/WORLD/MODSTUDIO contains files for an early version of the Creation Station that bears a striking resemblance to the one seen at the 2009 PlayStation Holiday Preview event.

Karts Section	Mods Section	Tracks Section

RACESTUDIO

DATA/WORLD/RACESTUDIO contains a simplified, untextured version of MODSTUDIO with most of the props removed. When loaded in-game, the room appears pitch-black.

TRACKPARK

DATA/WORLD/TRACKPARK appears to contain a very early version of ModSpot.

TRACKSTUDIOINTERIOR

DATA/WORLD/TRACKSTUDIOINTERIOR contains a warehouse with various props and obstacles that can be placed while creating tracks in Track Studio.

Unused Graphics

Default Texture

DATA/GLOBAL/TEXTUREPACK.TEMP.BIN contains this garish placeholder texture.

Link Textures

Inexplicably, DATA/CHARACTERS/LINK/TEXTUREPACK.TEMP.BIN contains Link's textures from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The MODELS.BIN and PHYSICS.BIN files in the same directory are empty.
