Hmmm...
To do:

Unsorted

Lakitu's Countdown Lights

Click on this picture, to see it animated.

In an earlier build of the game, Lakitu had hold a countdown light when starting a race. This was scrapped, but the model still remains. It can be seen in the GDC 2005 gameplay.

Test Graphic

MKDS Test1Tex.png

Translates as "Temporary Pause". That's all. It's used when pressing X on the unused communication error screen.

Speedometer

MKDS Main meter.png

The early speedometer.

The game was originally meant to have an on-screen speedometer, much like Double Dash!! A speedometer can be seen in early screenshots, though it used different graphics. This version of the speedometer can be seen in some rare gameplay from GDC 2005.

Mario Bros. Graphics

MKDS MiniGTex.png

A collection of sprites from Mario Bros. Classic. While some of them are used in the unused communication error screen, a large majority of them are not used at all.

Japanese Goal and Start Graphics

In the directory /Scene/Race_ja.carc, the files goal.nsbmd and start.nsbmd have the race start (スタート) and end (ゴール!!) graphics in Japanese, however they're not used, even when the system firmware language is set to Japanese. The English "GO" and "GOAL" graphics are always used.

Goal Start

Early Return Graphic

Found in the menu graphics is an unused early return button with different shading.

Titlescreen Banner

MKDSKiosk Titlescreen-Boarder.png

Graphics along with a tilemap showing a blue banner can be found in the files from the titlescreen. This banner is used in this build with some scrolling text.

Double Dash!!-Based Menus and Early Placeholders

Located in the menu.carc section of the demo are early graphics of an early menu in the style of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. However, these are mostly static images, so they were most likely proof of concept graphics.
