I'm beginning to doubt that the "purple rabbit" is real. Because I was playing my copy of SM64DS and the angle and shading of my DS screen made the pink rabbits that Mario has to catch appear purple in color. Besides, the picture appears rather distorted anyway so it could be a hoax. And if I'm wrong, and this was already in the coding then I'm wrong just let it go...

== Title ==
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't this be called "Beta element"? (Singular form with a lowercase 'e'.) I don't recall "Beta Element" being a proper name, and we normally don't have articles with a plural title. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 15:28, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
:I agree on the lowercase ''e'', but why do you suggest to use the singular form? I mean, it just sounds strange to me since there are clearly several element'''s''' on this page ;) {{User:Time Q/sig}} 15:33, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
::Well, that part I can concur with. I guess I just mentioned the singular form because I had my new proposal on my mind. :P {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 15:49, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
 
== Paper Mario 2 beta japanese element that is not translated ==
 
The first japanese text that isn't translated is an explanation of how to use the Ultra Jump... Is it really a beta element ? [[User:Koopalmier|Koopalmier]] 02:59, 5 October 2009 (EDT)
 
:Yes, it was in Japanese in the NA ROM, which has no capability to display Japanese characters. Therefore, it must be unused. Also, where did you get the translation you provided? {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig}} 12:09, 5 October 2009 (EDT)
::Uuuh... I translated it, I suppose ? Well, I used a translator. [[User:Koopalmier|Koopalmier]] 16:54, 7 October 2009 (EDT)
:::I thought you can hack and toggle the Japanese back in, and vice versa? Though I might be thinking about Ocarina of Time... But isn't that more of a regional leftover than a true beta element? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] 12:08, 26 April 2010 (EDT)
 
== Mario 64 original voice? ==
 
I've seen beta footage, and it sounds normal, higher, but normal. Was that earlier? Anyone have footage? [[User:NinjaCupcake|NinjaCupcake]] 14:36, 7 October 2009 (EDT)
 
== Mario vs. Donkey Kong info, and miscellaneous others (NSMB & SMS). ==
 
There needs to be a Mario vs. Donkey Kong section. We only have one for the sequel. There is actually more than enough unused material to warrant a new section. For instance, there is unused Bob-omb behavior in which they run whenever Mario picks up a hammer, but this never happens since they don't exist in the same stage. In addition, there are missing levels that appear to be unfinished working versions of the rare Japanese e-Reader levels, and - this is a big one - there is a fully functional level editor within the game's code, linking this game's development with the lost Donkey Kong Plus. This could all be seen on Unseen 64, which also had info on a leaked prototype of the sequel: http://www.unseen64.net/2010/03/13/mario-vs-donkey-kong-gba-beta-unused/
 
Also, there is much more to add in the New Super Mario Bros. (DS) section. For instance, there are a lot of unused elements and further code than never saw use in the finished game. There are a few glitchy or unfinished levels that have been found (five to be exact). Further analysis also shows that the early builds of the game also seemed to have ripped animations straight out of Super Mario 64 DS, such as Mario's idle pose, and his hat would fall down after him whenever he jumped like in Super Mario World: http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/22/new-super-mario-bros-ds-beta/
 
Lastly, although development seems to have been abandoned, several unused models were found on the X-Cult forums regarding Super Mario Sunshine. One of these includes a version of one of the strange enemies ("Hinokuri" - I'm guessing that means "Fire Goom") seen in an early build (walking around town with long legs). It has a bunch of finished animations, such as a "hurt" one and so on, and it wore a mask that broke over time. There are a few more unseen things, such as loaded enemies and objects depending on the level (similar to Super Mario 64): http://forums.x-cult.org/topic/4929-mario-sunshine-leftovers-122509/
 
Just thought I'd bring this all to you guys' attention, it's noteworthy stuff. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] 16:16, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 
== Sorting ==
 
That little bar at the bottom of all the beta pages is really cluttered. We could sort it.
By perhaps DK-Yoshi-Mario series? Or by console? Just an idea.

== New Unreleased Game Discovered!! ==
 
Hello everyone. Take a look at this announcement of two Mario titles in development for the CDi: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FYs-mSbsh6U/TZ3_6yiJnwI/AAAAAAAAHs0/bb_1ijAbQAA/s1600/cdimag.jpg
 
Of course, the article mentions Hotel Mario. What's interesting is that the other game is not ''[[Super Mario's Wacky Worlds]]'' - it's an unreleased edutainment (?) game called Mario Takes America. Supposedly a "Digital Video" title, it seems to be about Mario making a documentary using real footage. One would wonder why it was dropped after work was put into it, but it probably had to do with Nintendo thinking it was too realistic for Mario. As for the Hotel Mario section, it mentions that Yoshi has been kidnapped rather than the princess. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] 20:51, 11 May 2011 (EDT)
:I wonder...could the information about the dropped game be added to the CDi article as trivia? For a source, we could cite the source of the picture.... {{User:Mario4Ever/sig}}
 
 
 
 
 
(bangs head against wall) *sigh* This could've been a CDi version of Mario's Time Machine.
 
== Super Mario Games' Beta ROM ==
 
'''Is it possible to get the ROMs for the uncompleted games, because there are many extra stories and campaigns that were removed from the final versions that many Nintendo players want to test.'''
 
'''If you know anything about the possible locations of where to test Betas or you know where to get them from please edit and state your comment below:'''
 
''Anonymous'' - I heard that Nintendo have a entire Hard Drive full of Betas -- Some of which have been smuggled out and released secretly. But its only a rumour.
 
''Masterworm2'' - I really want to try out the Beta ROMs, especially Super mario Sunshine Beta (I wonder what that girl was doing in delfino plaza beta map?).
{{unsigned|Masterworm2}}
 
''Paperphailurethemariomonster99'' - I heard there are some betas floating around on Ebay.
