General Differences

• Lakitu's intro animation is different.
• After the Lakitu intro, it goes straight to the title screen.
• Records, Options, LAN Mode, Time Trials and Battle Mode can't be selected.
• Mario Circuit is the only course available.

Title Screen

Proto	Final

The title screen is brighter in the demo, the options are larger, and the registered sign was changed to a trademark in the final. The render itself has Peach's head tilted slightly and Bowser's shell (the one in his hand) having a different orientation.

Character Selection

Proto	Final

The driver icon, kart stats, and character names aren't shown for some reason. Also, the player box is scaled down.

Select Cup

Proto	Final

The demo uses the blue All-Cup Tour background instead of the retail's green background for Mushroom Cup.

Mario's Circuit was originally in the Mushroom Cup.

Race Results

The race results in the demo are similar to those in Mario Kart 64.

The game resets back to the Demo Disc Menu after the race.

Reverse Cup

It seems like a Reverse Cup was planned, making the player race the tracks backwards. This also indicates that in LANPlay.arc, Yoshi Circuit, Dino Dino Jungle, Peach Beach, and Mushroom Bridge (coname_yoshi_circuit_r, coname_dino_dino_jungle_r, coname_peach_beach_r, and coname_kinoko_bridge_r) have text for it in Japanese. The "r" most likely meaning "Reverse". This would eventually become a reality in Mario Kart Tour.
