More interesting to see is, that in the WaveRace Beta a completely unknown level is used, with 4 subcheckpoints and 5 drivers on the course!!

ahah, wow MasterPhW, you are right! i did not notice that in the Wave Race video.. it’s really a good find! The 5 drivers are all the same character, maybe that was one of the first betas for the new design of tha game? (before humans, there where powerboats)

I noticed in the Kirby Air Ride video that the flat 2D background is from Kirby Super Star on the SNES. It’s the map screen from the Dynablade game:

That Pokey, in Super Mario 64, is definitely from the final game.
