In the prototype for Mario Kart: Double Dash, a character select image of Donkey Kong Jr. can be seen instead of Diddy Kong, suggesting that a return of Donkey Kong Jr. to the Mario Kart series was planned after his absence in Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Super Circuit, but was later scrapped. Note that in the finished game, Donkey Kong Jr. can still be seen as part of the audience in Waluigi Stadium.
