This article pertains to the beta elements of Mario Kart Ultimate.
Characters[]
According to an image of the original character select, Kamek, Koopa Paratroopa and King Boo were originally default characters. The character select screen was also done in a different style.
According to data found in the game, a Goomba, Rosalina, Dixie Kong and Dry Bowser (chr_kuribo, chr_luma_queen, chr_kong3, chr_koopa_dead) were originally coded in, though their CSP's were uncoded. There are also, though scrambled, appears to be data for Link, Kirby and Samus (chr_triforce, chr_kirby, chr_metroid) in the disc, leading to the fact that the game was originally a crossover.
