It's interesting to note that there are crystals (now bricks) one red, blue and green on the blue thing and one green near the car (among other similar to the car of Basil the Bat). The sphinx is totally absent, in its place there are two obelisks. In the middle of the screenshot there is water or something like that. The one on the right was cut in the development, the other on the left is still there. There is a green brick under the sphinx's shortcut and it's unreachable.Īn early screenshot shows the sphinx's shortcut with two roads. You would have first gone through the wall on the left of the shot (given a blocky texture), traversed under the track some, and come out under one of the hills, as said hill shows to be a glitchy corner.ĭesert Adventure Dragway also has a scrapped shortcut. Early prototype screenshots show that the fence was completely absent at first, so it would only make sense. The place where the shortcut was going to start was barricaded with a fence. This is the other inaccessible power-up, in the center of the photo. It's under a hill and impossible to reach. Here is the first power-up which is completely inaccessible. Granted, it does have a shortcut, but it's not really much of one, more like an alternate pathway not worth taking. Pirate Skull Pass also has remnants of a scrapped shortcut. This prototype screenshot shows the boulder while it was still in place. It's not patched very well and looks blocky compared to the rest. This is the wall where the boulder was supposed to be. This one seems to have been removed very far into development, because more remnants of this short-cut exist than any other. You would drive over the tunnel, and come out at the part of the track with the ship shooting the cannonballs. You would shoot a boulder, and it would roll out of the way for the shortcut to open. This outlines where the shortcut was going to take place initially. Notice several going out of the boundary.

The white rings here are invisible through normal gameplay - they are checkpoints, and are used to determine how you complete a full lap. This one was totally scrapped from the final game. From what can be inferred, you were originally to knock down the pillar in front of the castle to form a ramp and get up there, and the shortcut would have skipped over the quick tour through the castle and taken you out before that hair-pin turn, judging by a badly patched wall. This brick is completely inaccessible in the normal game. Notice how there is a red brick above the right doorway. Firstly, as it turns out there are remnants of not one, but two shortcuts planned. Thanks to modding and uncoverings by the developers, the secrets behind the shortcut were finally revealed. Knightmare-Athon became the only track in the game that went without a shortcut, and it was searched on for years. This was rumored, questioned, and forever asked about throughout the whole community. Oh yes, the infamous Knightmare-Athon shortcut.
