The files include unused tracks, a drift-less build, a unique title theme, and an alpha version of what would later become Mario Kart 64. This isn't the only Nintendo 64 Mario title to be revealed, as a prototype of Super Mario Kart has also been found. The leak has also revealed files for unused test rooms and beta-only enemy types. One of the most notable discoveries has been the unearthing of a Luigi model for Super Mario 64. This confirms a long-time fan theory that the game was originally supposed to support both of the Mario brothers.

These can also be activated without Cheat codes by starting a race from the debug menu and pressing a certain button combination.

The debug commands found in the final game also work in the precompiled prototype builds. (A small hex edit is required to make the debug menu accessible see the Debugging Menus subpage for more info.) This build was possibly used for capturing footage for medias such as magazines, promos, and the game's manual. Additionally, the win sequence after finishing a race can be skipped by pressing Start, pressing Select in a race will freeze the game, and there is one extra change in debug mode that allows to display entire track previews. Kart-d.bin is identical to the final Japanese build, but with the debug menu and commands implemented. Info about these builds can be found on the Development page. As such, individual assets had to be inserted from the source files (with additional fixes if necessary) to make them work.
