- The destruction animation for the ice blocks that you have to jump against to maintain speed still doesn't exist; the blocks simply disappear when touched.

 |
 |
- Several more batches of coins were added later on.
- ? panels were shifted around slightly.
- The off-road area within the inner wall was originally drivable, with a jump bar present to exit out. Additionally, it's possible to skip laps by driving in circles in the center because the finish line data ends there. The final removes the snowballs within the center and uses an extra tile with an out-of-bounds attribute to prevent players from entering.
- Small protruding pieces of walls were removed later on.

- A majority of the track is much thinner in width.
- Aside from the lack of Thwomps, the track has object positions, but they appear to be the same as the piranha plants from the removed Choco Island 3 course.
- Skidding on the track uses Ghost Valley's brown smoke colors. This means that Rainbow Road's palette was created using Ghost Valley's palette, and the smoke color wasn't updated yet.
