Hello! I'm Kirby Kart! Listed is my own version of the Luigi's Mansion beta elements. Enjoy!

This is a list of beta elements in Luigi's Mansion

Early Ideas
It was stated by Hideki Konno that different designs for the mansion, including a western mansion, a japanese styled house, and a mansion looking like the final, but lacked chimneys. Konno also stated that the game originally was planned for the Nintendo 64, but was changed due to hardware limitations.

The game was originally just a Tech Demo as well, but changed into a full game.

Cut FMVs
Different Cut FMVs were left unused. These included Luigi sliding down the railing of the stairs in the Foyer, trying to escape a blue ghost, about to be crushed by the falling chandelier, and screaming. This screaming animation was used for the japanese commercial for the game, and the beginning for the E3 2001 trailer. Luigi would also be circled around by more blue ghost. 2 more blue ghost (along with a green ghost) were seen playing cards. Many Cut FMVs from the E3 2001 were unused as well, including Luigi looking at the player in the Foyer.

Playable Demo
A playable demo was shown with many changes to the rooms:
 * The Foyer was called "Entrance" (it remained that way in the Japan copies), and the door to Area 2 wasn't blocked, and it had a different texture. Toad was absent and the mirror didn't had the a tarp on it.
 * The Parlor was known as the "Living Room", and the door to the Anteroom was boarded up. Different furniture was absent in the final, as the table was placed in a different location, and a extra side-chair was absent from the final. The human portraits were also Purple ghosts wearing top hats.
 * The Nursery was titled "Child's Room", and Chauncey wasn't a boss. Instead, normal ghosts resided in it, and the player didn't get an area key, as the door to Area 2 wan't locked. The crib was also placed in a different location.
 * The Master Bedroom was originally titled "Bedroom 1", and ghosts had to be caught before facing Lydia. There were also two beds at the front instead of one at the left.
 * Many doors were boarded up, and some areas of the mansion had crates blocking paths.
 * The Wardrobe Room had a green treasure chest.
 * Vases were colored blue instead of red. A blue vase is still seen in Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Luigi's Mansion battle stage.
 * Mr. Luggs was absent in the Dining Room, which had two ways to enter.
 * Bats and Mice were colored white to resemble ghosts.
 * A blocked up door from the Kitchen was absent in the final version.
 * Purple Punchers resided in the Boneyard, along with the absence of the yellow sign.
 * Miss Petunia was just a silhouette on the first floor Bathroom.

Early ghosts

 * Gold Ghosts were pink, then white. It's thought the blue ghosts from Spaceworld 2000 were old Gold Ghosts.
 * Purple Punchers were originally orange with big noses. An unused green ghost with a gargantuan nose was thought to be early versions of the Purple Puncher.
 * Blue Twirlers were purple with a big nose.
 * A ghost cut from the final was known as a "Basher". Bashers were sneak up behind Luigi. Once close enough, the ghost would appear with cartoon styled text saying "BAAAAAHH", causing Luigi to scream, and crab walk backwards while losing half his HP. These were reused for Sneakers for Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
 * A issue of Nintendo Power stated of a unused Portrait Ghost, who would reside in the Safari Room and would want to murder Luigi by cutting his head off. As Nintendo Power likes to joke around, it's unknown if this "Portrait Ghost" is real. Many fans speculated he was removed due to his dialogue and actions being too frightening.
 * An unused ghost was a chef, and he would throw tomatoes. this was thought to be reused
