Version Differences
From additions and fixes to...balance changes?

Unused Graphics

DLC icons from the Wii U release were leftover in the game, and go unused here since all of the past DLC was built into Deluxe. The grey versions are specular maps, and the bottom image is a normal map for all icons.

(Source: Original TCRF research)

The country flags from the Wii U version are left inside common.szs/nationalflag. Instead of reusing them, Nintendo made a brand new set of flags for this game. (common.szs/nationalflag_nx)

The country of Netherlands Antilles left inside (UI/language/message.sarc/Region.mbst) goes unused in the files as the option to change an account's location to Netherlands Antilles was removed in early 2018. Netherlands Antilles only has a text string with no flag.

A placeholder of the promotional banner for the Booster Course Pass DLC. It was present as early as the release of the first wave, though people with keen eyes were able to make out several courses that hadn't been announced for the DLC at the time, like Waluigi Pinball and even the completely unknown Sky-High Sundae. Currently, the only two courses visible in this image that haven't been announced for future inclusion as of September 2023 are:

Super Mario Kart
- Mario Circuit 1
Mario Kart Tour
- RMX Mario Circuit 1

Skybox Textures

As of right now, 4 skybox models have sky textures leftover from Tour.

Wii Maple Treeway

GCN Waluigi Stadium. Interestingly, this is the same sky texture seen in the placeholder Booster Course Pass banner. This sky did eventually get used in Tour.

DS Mario Circuit

Tour Singapore Speedway. This one also has a duplicate.

Unused Music

To do:

There are unheard intros for the city portion of Wii Moonview Highway, the river and underwater portions of Wii Koopa Cape and the Chinatown portion of Tour Singapore Speedway.

Several prefetch tracks for upcoming courses DLC tracks were found in the 2.1.0 update, all of which sound vastly different compared to their tracks from the original games.

Wave 3

Tour London Loop (Cnsw_31)

GBA Boo Lake (Cnsw_33)

3DS Rock Rock Mountain (Cnsw_34)

Wii Maple Treeway (Cnsw_62)

Tour Berlin Byways (Cnsw_35)

DS Peach Gardens (Cnsw_32)

Merry Mountain (Cnsw_37)

3DS Rainbow Road (Cnsw_38)

Wave 4

Tour Amsterdam Drift (Cnsw_41)

Tour Bangkok Rush (Cnsw_55)

GCN Waluigi Stadium (Cnsw_36)

Tour Singapore Speedway (Cnsw_45)

Wave 5

Tour Los Angeles Laps (Cnsw_48)

GBA Sunset Wilds (Cnsw_53)

Tour Vancouver Velocity (Cnsw_61)

Early Music

To do:

It's likely that some of the other tracks have differences.

The datamined prefetches from 2.1.0 sound different to the final versions. These tracks could be placeholders or Early versions.

Merry Mountain

Early	Final

An early version of the intro for Merry Mountain, which uses a synthesized orchestra akin to the Tour version instead of the live instruments of the final.

Leaked DLC Courses

A leak was found after the release of Wave 1 of the Booster Course Pass, which contains most of the tracks labeled with appropriate "retro" consoles, and another leak after the release of Wave 2, which contains prefetch files for soundtracks of courses not present in the game. This is most likely a placeholder order for the courses in the pass.

Cup	1st Course and/or Game Label	2nd Course and/or Game Label	3rd Course and/or Game Label	4th Course and/or Game Label
Turnip	Tour	SNES	N64	DS

Leftover Wii U Battle Courses

All courses that were used as battle arenas in the Wii U version still have the battle_muunt.byaml in their files, meaning that with some hacks they can be accessed and battled on as normal.

Unused Battle Courses Mapping for VS

All Battle courses contains mapping file for race even though battle stages aren't playable in VS. By default it crashes when loaded but it can be bypassed with cheat codes. There are no item boxes or coins, not even present in the BYAML (courses with no stationary boxes or coins have these present but hidden), laps count randomly depending on the checkpoints you pass because the same checkpoints from Battle, lakitu picks you up a lot too, CPUs follow specific paths frequently differently from battle, spawn points are interesting and respawn points are weird and out of place, as lakitu paths are a flat line path. Surprisingly, there are 3 laps instead of zero (section tracks and Battle have zero laps). It is unsure if these mapping files contains early or different content from regular Battle mode but it is unlikely.

Removed Test Course

There are leftovers for a test course called "test_DanceFloor" in \Course\EAD. All that remains is some lighting data.

(Source: Original TCRF research)

Removed Reverse Mode

There seems to have once been plans for a racing mode where the racers go around the courses backwards. In ObjFlow.byaml there are six references to "Gyakusou", which means "Reverse Run" in Japanese. This concept later resurfaced in Mario Kart Tour as the R and R/T variants of tracks.

TEST_Gyakusou_Barrier
TEST_Gyakusou_Dash
TEST_Gyakusou_Glide
TEST_Gyakusou_Guide
TEST_Gyakusou_Step
TEST_Gyakusou_StepJA

Hidden Coins & Item Boxes

Courses that do not have coins (Mute City & Big Blue) actually have a coin loaded in, but hidden in places you can't normally see. It is loaded because it requires it or else the game crashes. The same goes for GCN Baby Park & DS Shroom Ridge, but with item boxes.

Mute City Hidden Coin

Mute City's coin is hidden inside of a building, on the last turn of the course.

Big Blue Hidden Coin

Big Blue's coin is hidden inside of an island, next to the start of the course.

GCN Baby Park Hidden Item Box

GCN Baby Park's item box is hidden inside of a pipe, which is a structure of the ferris wheel. The item box is tiny, having the scale of 0.1 for X,Y,Z.

DS Shroom Ridge Hidden Item Box

DS Shroom Ridge's item box is hidden under the ground, next to the glider ramp, under the grass section. The item box has the normal scale.

Unused Wii Coconut Mall Car Routes & Settings

Wii Coconut Mall cars have a set route to follow, set speed and set settings which would be related to the car behavior when following the routes. The cars ignore the route and do not attach to it at all, since they don't move and their rotation is not facing the route. By looking at the values of the settings it shows that one of them could be the amount of time it stays stopped until following the route again.

By setting an object that follow routes, N64 Toad's Turnpike cars being an example, to follow the route the Wii Coconut Mall cars are linked to, and set the same speed, it shows that they follow the routes and they look like something you'd see in Mario Kart Wii, showing the routes were indeed intended to be for the cars. Because of the N64 Toad's Turnpike cars being coded differently, they don't behave as intended on the routes, teleporting back to the start point of the route. This tweet shows the video in higher framerate and with more explanation.

While the 2.1.0 update changed the cars to no longer be static, they don't use these routes and move significantly faster.

Tour Leftovers

slink2.bslnk (Audio/Bin) contains references for all the bgms, sound effects, and object names in the game. Since the 2.0.0 update however, lots of references from Tour were left in. Some of these most likely aren't planned to be included in the Booster Course Pass however. Some were also removed in the 2.1.0 update, as well as 2.2.0.

Removed Difficulty

In most of the AI tables (RaceCommon/AI), there's some AI settings for an Expert difficulty. There are no other references for this difficulty, so it may have been cut early in development. It was removed for unknown reasons, though the best guess is it may have simply been too hard.

Unused Models

BombCar

MapObj/BombCar has an unused Bob-omb Car model from Mushroom Bridge and Mushroom City from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, along with Moonview Highway from Mario Kart Wii. This model was actually ported directly from the latter game, but with a few slight differences. The eyes are now 3D, the wheel animation doesn't exist, and it doesn't have the lights coming out of its eyes. It only has a single animation for the key on the back of it. It doesn't exist in objflow.byaml, but when added into it, the model does load properly, but doesn't have its original functions. This model isn't in the Wii U version, but was added to the Switch version for some odd reason, probably as a planned addition to N64 Toad's Turnpike. This was removed in the 2.0.0 update. A new version of the Bob-omb Car object is used in Wii Moonview Highway in v2.4.0 as a part of Wave 5 of the Booster Course Pass, internally named CarBomb instead.

PrisonTest

Test	Final

MapObj\PrisonTest contains a test version of the prison used in Renegade Roundup. The final model is in MapObj\TS_Prison. The test version has a smaller collision file, doesn't have a separate collision file for the switch and doesn't have any sound files in its folder. Also, the final one has an effects model in MapObj\TS_Prison_FX to go along with the main model. Note that the button used to be an anti-gravity booster. Players also get a speed boost after pressing the button, though its effects are much more similar to using a Mushroom.

Early Course Order

An interesting detail about the Filenames of the courses (including the datamined music in the 2.1.0 update) is that they list the courses differently compared to how they appear in-game; for example, Tour Berlin Byways is Cnsw_35 or the fifth course in Wave 3. While most courses future courses have their correct placement, many were shifted or moved to entirely different waves.

Wii Maple Treeway (Cnsw_62) was originally planned for Wave 6 but moved to Wave 3 instead, replacing GCN Waluigi Stadium (Cnsw_36) which was moved to Wave 4, replacing GCN Daisy Cruiser (Cnsw_46) which was moved to Wave 5, replacing another GCN Course (Cnsw_56). Tour Los Angeles Laps (Cnsw_48) was planned for Wave 4 but was replaced by Tour Bangkok Rush (Cnsw_55) and moved to Wave 5. A SNES Course (Cnsw_57) was originally planned for Wave 5 but it got replaced with Wii Moonview Highway (Cnsw_63). Tour Athens Dash (Cnsw_65) and Tour Vancouver Velocity (Cnsw_61) were both planned for Wave 6, but got moved to Wave 5, replacing two different Tour Courses (Cnsw_51 and Cnsw_54 respectfully).

Something to note is that Cnsw_63 (Wii Moonview Highway) didn't originally have a Course Prefix in earlier leaks implying that it was either a scrapped non-city course from Mario Kart Tour or simply a placeholder.
