Pre-release content
Wario Land II was originally scheduled to be released on November 10, 1997, seemingly under the title Wario Land 2. A screenshot released in that year depicts an underground area not seen in the final game. Broken ledges were found in the early version, and the chain of the grindstone carried by the D-Bat was longer than any chain in the released version. Breakable jars were also found in the underground area, which is not the case for similar places in the final version. The amount of Wario's coins is not seen in the screenshot.
In Japan, the Game Boy version of Wario Land II was originally planned to be released in February 1998. The game's Japanese website formerly used screenshots of the unreleased Japanese Game Boy version. Among them was a screenshot of the Japanese title screen. The number "2" was placed a bit lower than in the Game Boy Color release, and, like its Western counterpart, the logo did not have the border that was added in all Game Boy Color versions. Furthermore, the copyright date was still 1997. An early gameplay screenshot with what looks like a different amount of coins was later replaced with a color comparison, but the title screen screenshot was not replaced until well after the release of the game.
An underground area not seen in the final game, featuring broken ledges, a grindstone with a very long chain, and jars untypical for an area of this kind.
Title screen of the unreleased Japanese Game Boy version. The number "2" is placed lower, and the copyright date is still 1997.
A development screenshot of the Game Boy version. Compared to the final, there are at least six extra coins overhead.
