Proto:Pikmin
This page details one or more prototype versions of Pikmin.

Two Japanese GameCube kiosk discs with demos of Pikmin have been ripped. The TGC files containing the demo on each disc are identical.
Pikmin Jitsuen-you Demo
Dairantou Smash Brothers DX Jitsuen-you Demo
All file comparisons should be and have been done between the extracted TGC file and the final Japanese release, as they have the most similar filesystem (i.e. neither has English translation files)
A playable demo and movie of Pikmin were released on Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc - January 2002.

Immediately Obvious Differences
This build of the game thrusts you right into a modified Forest of Hope, complete with alternate enemy placement, no ship parts, different obstacles, etc.
Beady Long Legs' boss theme is able to play in this area. It is unknown how, as spawning Beady Long Legs in the final game anywhere but the Forest Navel does not play the boss theme.
The pause menu is different from the final game.
The radar screen functions (It is conceivable that this is some kind of developer hack).
The area name during the loading transition is different from the final game.
Whatever Olimar says after the landing animation, it looks unique.
There is no warning when Olimar is low on health
There is no title screen attract mode
dataDir Differences
What is Known
demo_forest.mod is a near-copy of forest.mod. It has different route nodes, and a slight binary difference around the 2/5 mark.
The MovieData folder is likely missing to save space (the videos are elsewhere on the kiosk disc).
loading.bti and ot_map.bti are shown when loading the demo and the area respectively.
practice.mod has a few route node changes, though there is a bulk of differences in the middle of the file
files related to the demo have the prefix of "ot_"
Five of said files can be found in "screenotona_blo"
demo41.cin in the demo has an extra, verbose seeming, 'addcut' section.
The differences in the ARC and DIR files located in "archives" likely corresponds to file differences elsewhere in the filesystem.
The early demo movie found in the final Japanese release is also in this kiosk demo.

Differences at Disc Root
Postulation
It only makes sense that these excess files were trimmed to save space. After all, there is no need for memory card info, and everything else that was removed is either related to the Windows x86 Debugger or is an unused banner.
