A prototype of LittleBigPlanet Karting for the Sony PlayStation 3.

Notes

The Cutting Room Floor research

This prototype has a research article on TCRF.

While the disc's label lists a date of August 30th 2011, its primary volume descriptor — as well as various file modification dates — suggest the data is actually from August 15th. In either case, this build predates the final game's release by over a year.

XMB Metadata is different with an early logo and background. The title is also slightly different, with an additional colon between "LittleBigPlanet" and "Karting" (LittleBigPlanet: Karting).
- If a photo is taken in-game and exported to the XMB, it will be saved to an album named "Little Big Planet™ Racers".
There are numerous leftovers from United Front Games' previous title: ModNation Racers.
- The company logo videos are visually identically, though the San Diego Studio logo has different audio mixing.
- The game has a TROPHY.TRP file. Other than the ICON0.PNG, the trophies are completely unchanged from ModNation Racers.
- Several menus and UI elements borrow the layout, if not the graphics from their ModNation counterparts. Examples include:
  - The Race Setup menu uses a similar layout as in ModNation, but with an LBP-themed coat of paint.
  - The Tutorials menu is unchanged from ModNation.
Drifting in this version builds up a boost meter, which can be used to boost at any time. In the final game, this was replaced with a more standard drift boost system.
Different weapon lineup, with a set of four upgradable weapons as opposed to the custom weapon system found in the final game.
The music is completely different, comprised of licensed songs which did not carry over to the final game.
