Proto:Mario Kart: Double Dash!!/Multi-Game Demo Disc Demo

This is a sub-page of Proto:Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.

A demo of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! was released on Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc Version 13. There's a bunch of unused graphics and differences hidden in this demo.

Debug Menu

To do: This section is very stubby and more in-depth info is needed as well as possible corrections to this article. Add AR codes when they exist.

A debug menu can be accessed (currently awaits codes), allowing the user to selected different options. A similar menu exists for the European

• Race: The main racing mode.
• Test: Allows the user to play cutscenes.
• Record: Allows the user to turn flags on/off.

Race

The player can select up to 8 players, the race mode ("TimeAttack," "GrandPrix," "Versus" and "Battle." Setting the player count to 2 will disable "TimeAttack" and anything above will also disable "GrandPrix.") In "Battle," there are four modes:

• Balloon: Balloon Battle in the final game.
• Robbery: Appears to be a scrapped battle mode. Possibly could have been a Coin Runner-like minigame like Mario Kart Wii.
• Bomb: Bob-omb Blast in the final game.
• Escape: Shine Thief in the final game.

Map Select

In addition to what appears to be an early course order, there are a total of 27 test maps listed, as well as 8 "Mini" coursed (likely the Battle Courses) and 8 "Rev" courses.

Debug Camera

To do: Codes for other versions.

The debug camera can be controlled with a second controller plugged into port 2. Pressing the D Pad Up/Down will enable the debug camera on the first controller.

Early Courses Tiny differences between the courses.

Unused or Early Graphics Donkey Kong Jr was playable before Diddy?

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.

Reverse Cup Model

A model exists for the Reverse Cup gold, silver, and bronze, found at AwardData\Award_Reverse.arc.
