This is a list of beta elements of the game ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.

===Nintendo Power===

Material from an early [[Nintendo Power]] shows that the [[Chancellor]] was once designed differently, being a more elderly-looking, gray-spotted Toad with a beard. It also showed that at least one [[Buzzer]] would be in [[Mushroom Way]], and that [[Frogfucius]]'s island at [[Tadpole Pond]] would be closer and therefore accessed differently. A [[Fishin' Lakitu|fishing]] variety of [[Lakitu]] would be a helper in [[Booster's Tower]], which possessed [[Boo]]s as guards and [[Magikoopa]]s as door guards. (No fightable Magikoopas other than the red one thought to be [[Kamek]] would appear in the final game.) Mario would also encounter [[Bowser]] at an unknown time in [[Bowser's Keep]], and would be pitted against two [[Beezo|Shy Away]]s during this scene.

Other material shows that Booster's Tower would also feature [[Boo]]s, [[Dry Bones]], and less organized pictures. [[Nimbus Castle]] would have a longer walkway and more plants. [[Luigi]] also appeared in a screenshot.

===1995 V-Jump Festival===

An early version of ''Super Mario RPG'' was also seen at a 1995 V-Jump Festival, which also focused on the game's programming and therefore showed off several features and various other things not meant to be accessible by normal players even by the game's release. The presentation of this beta showed that Nimbus Land (which was seen in entirety, even including the Nintendo Power early Nimbus Castle, at the presentation's opening) would have differently styled doorways, being simple open holes labeled with a word seeming to be "HOLLOW" or "HOLLOH" rather than the curtains seen in the final version. The V-Jump presentation also featured an animation of a normal, blue-colored Magikoopa attacking and showed Mario running through Mushroom Way (or perhaps [[Bandit's Way]], as a [[K-9]] was visible) and being chased by several Buzzers, indicating that they would indeed be found en masse in that area in the early ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''. The presentation also briefly showed a early [[Yo'ster Isle]], which was much larger and oddly seemed to feature no racetrack. The early version seen in the presentation also gave [[Moleville]] a cloud-filled foreground and removed the blue static seen in the [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Factory]]'s foreground.

The majority of Nimbus Castle's interior seen in the early version would appear to simply be more green than that of the final version, although the room where [[Dodo]] cleaned [[Valentina]]'s statues was depicted as different shades of pink (or perhaps red with pink walls), looking nothing like it did in the final version. This room was also completely flipped horizontally for the final version. [[Melody Bay]]'s composition area also seemed to be longer, and [[Mario's House|Mario's Pad]] was depicted as much larger, and Mario's house itself even changed in appearance&ndash;&ndash; Much like it was in the final version of ''Super Mario RPG''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s intro, the V-Jump beta depicted Mario's in-game house as being labeled "Pipe House". A [[Treasure Box]] was also seen in the beta Mario's Pad; upon being hit by Mario, this box produced a green, [[1-Up Mushroom]]-like [[mushroom]] that in itself was not present in the final game. A pair of [[Terrapin]]s were also seen guarding an exit from Mario's Pad in this beta.

==Unused Data==

Looking into the coding of ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' reveals several unused enemies<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0oxHMdCgQo&feature=related www.youtube.com] Super Mario RPG: Unused Enemies Accessed March 20, 2009</ref> (most of which seem to be unused sub-species), including a notorious one known as the [[Drill Bit]]. In fact, Drill Bit appears in the game, but does not fight in any battle like a normal enemy.<ref>[http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/14/mario-rpg-beta/]</ref> These unused enemies include:

*An enemy that resembels a purple Bahamutt with sunglasses. <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0oxHMdCgQo www.youtube.com] Super Mario RPG - Unused Characters v1.0</ref>

*A blue version of [[Stumpet]] named Lumbler; Lumbler has a move set (which points to it probably being taken out later in production). It has the moves Crystal and an egg shooting attack it shares with Birdo; it's psychopath thought is "Grrr!"

*A blue, glitchy [[Corkpedite]] named Pile Driver. An example glitch is during the body's only turn, it will suddenly turn into Bowser using the claw move, then become a strange white line, and then die; while the head has no psychopath thought, it's body's thought is "......"

*An unused brown version of [[Gunyolk]] that was never named.

*An "unfinished enemy" that consists of various script boxes.[http://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_RPG:_Legend_of_the_Seven_Stars#Unfinished_Enemy]

*Two unused cutscenes regarding a distressed [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] on the balcony of [[Booster's Tower]] were left in the game's coding, but did not make the final cut. Both were very similar to (but longer than) scenes in the final game. <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR7tQPX-EOE www.youtube.com] Alternate Peach Scene Accessed March 20, 2009</ref>
