This article pertains to the beta elements of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
Unused Graphics[]
Console[]
Ryo Hazuki[]
The textures for Ryo Hazuki's vehicles contain static images for the arcade cabinet screens. In the final game, they use an animated texture for the screens instead.
Mii[]
There are textures for the Mii's All-Star Move resembling a Wii Pointer. According to it's filename (Mii_missle), it would suggest that the character would fire missiles at opponents via the Wii's pointer. There is also a placeholder texture intended for three hats that would've been used during the Mii character's All-Star move.
Nintendo 3DS[]
| Image | Type | Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|

Character | Billy Hatcher | He was planned for this game, but was scrapped due to no ideas of a vehicle to design for the character. |
 |
Classic Sonic | The graphic seems to have been reused from Sonic Generations on that same handheld. | |
 |
Ryo Hazuki | The character was later playable in the Steam release. | |
 |
Sackboy | It's unknown why he appears in this version of the game. It's possible he was going to be in the previous game too. | |
 |
Xbox Live Avatar | Appears to be a character avatar from the Xbox 360, which are playable on the respective console for the game. Either this was a placeholder for the Mii icons or simply a leftover from the console game. | |
 |
Joe Musashi | Although he is playable in the final game, a different graphic is used instead. | |
 |
Placeholder | A soccer ball with the words "temp" on it, which was most likely used during testing. | |
 |
Mini Map Icon | Mii Icon | An icon for the Mii meant for the Mini Map. |
 |
Billy Hatcher Icon | An icon for Billy Hatcher meant for the Mini Map. This proves that the character was pretty far in the game's development. | |
 |
Placeholder | A placeholder icon of a soccer ball meant for the Mini Map. | |
  |
Super Glove | Although the item is used in the final game, it uses the graphics from the regular glove item. | |
   |
Item and Mini Map Icon | UFO | Although unknown what it could've been used for, these can be seen in Samba Studios. |
   |

Unused Models[]

Found in the 3DS version of the game are three models of Mario's hat. Judging by the placeholder texture in the console version, this was most likely meant for the Mii character's scrapped All-Star Move. Though the reason is unknown, It was most likely dropped due to Sega not wanting to cross contaminate with the Mario & Sonic series, which would be the same reason Mario was dropped during it's previous game's development.
