I got my hands on a prototype version of Mario Kart DS - let's explore it!

This is the Mario Kart DS "USA Kiosk Demo", a demo version of MKDS from before the game released with only certain tracks playable, but it contains many interesting and strange differences from the final release. There's also a ton of unused content in the cartridge, ranging from early versions of tracks, cut tracks, graphics of removed items, menus and more! Let's take a look at what it has to offer...

Big thanks to The Cutting Room Floor for documenting the unused content and many of the changes covered in this video. I didn't go over absolutely everything there is to the Mario Kart DS Kiosk Demo, so if you want to learn more about it (or more about cut content from other games) then I highly recommend checking them out: https://tcrf.net/Proto:Mario_Kart_DS/...
