The [[Poltergust 4000]] was originally going to have [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s emblem on it (the same way the [[Poltergust 3000]] and [[Super Poltergust 3001]] do), but this was cut from the game along with E. Gadd himself for unknown reasons.

This course has a similar route to the early [[DS Waluigi Pinball|Waluigi Pinball]] (pinball_course) and different textures (yellow with brown spots on the ground) and shares objects with said course, but is highly incomplete and it is unlikely that [[Nintendo]] ever wanted to complete it. It cannot be accessed by Action Replay because the flippers and bounds do not load. However, it can be accessed by ROM-hacking.

It starts by going straight then up and round, then comes to a tunnel, then turns right then left over a metal floor. Then it comes to another tunnel which curves then comes back to the start line. Textures can be seen only by ROM-hacking.<ref>[https://youtube.com/watch?v=FEZNRovXHWo YouTube - Dokan Course and Test Circle]</ref>

This course was most likely used for debugging. It is only playable by fixing some files. The course model does not fit with the collision file, instead it is from an early version of Rainbow Road, not seen in the actual Rainbow Road in the Kiosk Demo or final game. The collision is an open area, with various ramps, loops, corkscrews and a depressed area. Objects such as the bridge from [[DS Delfino Square|Delfino Square]], the gears from [[DS Tick-Tock Clock|Tick-Tock Clock]], and the round bridge in [[Bowser Castle (Mario Kart DS)|Bowser Castle]] appear here, along with "test_brock", a checkered cube. This course can not be accessed by Action Replay, only by ROM-hacking. This course has since been fixed in ROM hacks, and modified in two different ways: Creating a new model that matches the collision, and creating new collision that matches the early Rainbow Road model.
