Can you play as MagiKoopa in the Mario Kart 64 prototype?

[MissingNo_1231]

I saw a screenshot of an early version of the game that had Magikoopa as a playable character, and I was wondering, assuming such a prototype exists, whether or not is is possible to play as him.

Wouldn't the OBVIOUS answer be yes?

They should've kept Magikoopa rather than put in Donkey Kong.

Does anyone know if you can play has him though? The question still hasn't been answered it seems.

That's because the question doesn't make any sense. If there's a build with a playable version of magikoopa, then yes he's playable.

There isn't, however, a publicly available version of such a rom.

Its most likely the playable version of the game with magikoopa was overwritten with the Donkey Kong newer version somewhere in production so the chances of ever playing as Magikoopa is pretty slim.
