Proto:Mario Kart: Double Dash!!/Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc (US)/Early Courses/Mushroom Cup

This is a sub-page of Proto:Mario Kart: Double Dash!!/Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc (US)/Early Courses.

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes. Notes: Very incomplete, expect changes.

Luigi Circuit

Course

Proto
Final

• The building textures are stretched slightly differently.
• The shadows near the building were altered slightly.
• Some of the grass textures on the background hills is stretched differently.
• A bit of shadow is present on one of the background hills, though it's hard to see in-game. This was removed from the final game.
• The shadows near one of the turnaround bumpers casts over the bumper. This was altered in the final game to remove the top shadows.

Textures

• The arrow sign and noise texture in lc_comp1a aren't present, leaving in a white space. Since the arrow sign isn't present, the game instead uses the lower resolution arrows from the roundabout section for the arrowed walls.
  • In addition, the arrowed wall near the finish line has five arrows pointing instead of four.

• The start and end point Y coordinates for camera 21 were modified slightly. The start point was changed from -15 to -25 and the end point was changed from 0 to 10.
