Beta element

A screenshot of an unused copy of #6 Wendy's Castle from Super Mario World above a screenshot from the same area in the final game. For use on the pre-release and unused content page.
A room in a beta version of Super Mario World's Wendy's castle (top), and the same room as it appears in the final game (bottom).

Beta elements are components of a video game that, for whatever reason, are removed or altered before that game is released. Known info about beta elements usually comes from one of two sources. The first is information released about a game, by its creators, before the game is complete. The second is data found within the coding of a game that serves no purpose, but could have been implemented into the game at one point.

Beta elements get their name from the period at the end of a game's development known as Beta Testing, when the nearly complete build of the game is debugged and playtested by a small group of people. Despite this, most games are complete or nearly complete when beta testing takes place, so most beta elements are scrapped long before this period.

Beta Elements should not be confused with Vaporware, entire games which never see release.

List of beta element pages

(Note for proposal: Even though below the games' titles are used, they would link to, as an example, Super Mario Bros. 2/Beta elements.)
