List of Game & Wario pre-release and unused content

This is a beta elements list of the Wii U game Game & Wario.

Shield Pose

 * The minigame "Pirate" originally started as a demo to showcase the Wii U at E3 2011.
 * The game consists of the same gameplay and art style as does in Game & Wario except for the fact that it has a sequence where the player is asked to shake the Wii U Gamepad rapidly instead of a dancing sequence at the end of a level. The pirate in the game is also just a regular one instead of being Wario in his Captain Wario form.

Measure Up

 * The minigame "Design" also started as a demo to showcase the Wii U.
 * Both versions have the same concept, levels and gameplay but are different in art-style although, some graphical elements were kept in the game. Design has a more laboratory look to it whereas Measure Up has a more traditional art-style that games like Wii Fit have. Design also gives a reason for drawing the shapes it asks you to draw (to program a robot).

Gamer

 * In the beta version of the minigame "Gamer", 9-Volt's mom did not have glowing eyes whenever she looked in his room. The text showing how much of a close call you made such as "Great", "Good" and "OK" were not present in the beta version. The game over screen is also not present in the beta version. Some microgames also have different music than they do in the final game.

Toy Capsule
In early versions of the minigames showcased in E3 2012, the toy capsule machine gave messages to players instead of toys after they have completed a minigame. These messages gave information for the upcoming full version of the game and appeared onscreen. All of them end with the message "Thank you for playing". These messages include the following.
 * Arrow (Wario): "There's a rumor that 9-Volt and Dribble are making games too."
 * Ski (Fronk): "I appear in GAME & WARIO too, you know. I'm featured in one of those, like, cameo role things"'
 * Shutter (Mona): "There's all kinds of stuff hidden in the SHUTTER town. Look for 'em with the "Wii U Gamepad" if you have the time."
 * Fruit (Wario): "The new me is a whole new kind of awsome! Wahaha!"
