Snes Killer Instinct beta version?

A long time ago at toys r us I seen a nintendo kiosk setup. It had video previews to a bunch of games, one of them was killer instinct. On that video preview the game had much smoother animation from what I remember. It was at least 17 or 18 years ago. I was wondering if there's a beta version of that rom maybe? I know we have the arcade version now but I'd like to try the version I seen on the kiosk.

I came across this video today. It's e3 footage of KI for the snes. Skip to 2:40.

Maybe it was a higher res because it had less characters?
Well as far as animation is concerened all it takes is cartridge space. All I know is the early build looked so much better in terms of animation. I don't believe the resolution was any higher. The sprites are also smaller than the arcade.

Well I'm looking for it but I doubt it is out there.

Also it looks like all the characters are there. If anything they must have had a lot more room for animation in the early build.

I vaguely remember them cutting down on graphics for some reason. But as the beta was never officially released, I doubt there is a rom of it.
