Mario Kart Advance
Before this excellent handheld racer was installed with scaled-down versions of the N64 game's pre-rendered character sprites, the drivers were going to have a super-deformed look with immensely huge heads. The original graphics survive only in the very first screenshots and the odd snippet of E3 video.

It's greatly simplified and looks to be covered in snow - either that or they hadn't got round to drawing the grass textures yet. Moving at a greater lick than the finished game ever did, it also features the robot boss running away from Foxy and friends in a linear version of the finished product's All-Range mode.See for yourself.
