This build served some sort of purpose at Nintendo’s Research &amp; Engineering Division (commonly referred to as NCL RED). It’s dated roughly half a year after the retail game’s release, so it’s purpose is currently unknown. Although one thing that should be noted is that it contains many debug functions within and can be enabled by the player!</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 15px;padding:0px;font-size:1.5rem;"><strong>Differences</strong></p><ul style="margin:0px 0px 15px 30px;padding:0px;"><li>Contains a build date on the Nintendo bootup screen (Mon Jul 5 13:04:10 2004)</li><li>Various debug menus can be enabled via button combinations.</li><li>Debugging symbols are intact.</li></ul><p style="margin:0px 0px 15px;padding:0px;font-size:1.5rem;"><em>Debug Menus</em></p><ul style="margin:0px 0px 15px 30px;padding:0px;"><li>Z + Start to open main debug menu (can only be enabled on title and menus outside of a race).</li><li>Pressing Y on the LAN screen brings up various bits of debug info.</li><li>Pressing L + D-Pad Down mutes the BGM.</li></ul><div><p style="margin:0px 0px 15px;padding:0px;font-size:1.5rem;">The following debug functions can be enabled by plugging in and using a second controller into the GameCube:</p><ul style="margin:0px 0px 15px 30px;padding:0px;"><li>R+Z to enable or disable debug info screen</li><li>L/R to change between Usr Page, Mem Map, Proc Time</li></ul><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:15px;padding:8px 12px;font-size:15px;border:1px solid rgb(232,232,232);background-color:rgb(238,238,255);"><code style="border:0px;padding:1px 0px;font-family:Monaco, Consolas, 'Lucida Console', monospace;">Usr Page: Use C-Stick Left and Right to change page has more info during race Proc Time: C-stick to start or stop a timer for measurement.
