Score#

The score folder has some unused scoring graphics.

Skydome#

The skydome folder has an unused self-labeled sky texture.

Save Icons#

The Icons folder contains unused save icons for the GameCube and Xbox. It is likely that the game was intended to be ported to those platforms but they ended up getting cancelled.

Xbox#

Music Differences#

The only music present at this point, Data\Music\nectarm22k.wav, is a copy of "Nectar" by BT. It was probably used as a placeholder before the other tracks were added.

It can also be found in the Wii version of Action Girlz Racing.
