Part of Nintendo's E3 1996 B-Roll (recently digitized by VGHF) includes early footage of Mario Kart 64, then known as Super Mario Kart R! In this clip you'll find a different title screen, different character icons, and Kamek the Magikoopa as a playable racer.

can you feel the sunshine

It's a tragedy that Kamek only gets to be playable once as late DLC in MK8D and then immediately shunted away as an item in MKW afterwards.

Funny how the bonus orbs have the same color scheme as NeXT Computer from Steve Jobs!

We need A remaster of this game

I really wanna play this version so bad man idk

Unfortunately SEGA was first with the name, so they had to rename this Mario Kart 64

Ahhhh Wario at the very front, as he should be. No but seriously, I love this title screen so much.

I am the only one who thinks all sprites for the racers were redone as well

Mario and friends were trying to feel the sunshine.

You archivists are ALWAYS acting like “digitizing” means “You’ve never ONCE seen this before!” Yes, VGHF, I was quite well aware of Mario Kart R in the 90s.
