This is a list of pre-release and unused content for the game Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Early iteration
The models of the characters are from Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Mario and Luigi are seen in this trailer of a very early build of the game, driving separately, each in a simple, blue kart. It was originally called Mario Kart for Nintendo GameCube, and it is likely that this early build of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! was overhauled for the final game, as it resembles nothing like it.

Several screenshots released during the development of the actual Double Dash!! build shows different textures, tracks, speedometer HUD, and racer mugshots.
Early Luigi Circuit. The later version has different textures, and also note that the incorrect race placement.

Early Dry Dry Desert. The hot air balloons were removed in the retail version.
Early Waluigi Stadium. Note how the Koopa Dasher has an "N" for Nokonoko.
Early Mushroom City. The final revision has only one Wiggler Wagon in the course. Also note that Bowser is a partner with Mario and another is with Bowser Jr., as seen on the left of the screen.
Early Versus race in Mushroom City.
A Versus race in Peach Beach.
A Versus race in Luigi Circuit.
Versus race in DK Mountain.

Time trial code
Pressing 
at the end of a trial mode race (where save ghost and replay are) will bring up a series of numbers and letters, a code that stores the race time, lap time, characters used, kart used and course I.D. This was used for a Japanese contest.[1]
Unused data
Some unused data has exists in a Double Dash!! demo from Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc Version 13.
An icon and trophies for a Reverse Cup have been found, which possibly could mean that a cup where the racers drive the tracks backwards was planned.[2] In addition, early character icons have been found featuring Donkey Kong Jr. instead of Diddy Kong.[3]
The swimming Nossie from the Dino Dino Jungle track has textures for four color variants. Only the yellow and red textures are used, possibly because the first two are not as visually distinct enough from the blue, four-legged Nossie.
