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.
'''Vanda''' is an alternate dimension mentioned in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. [[Culex]], an optional [[boss]] in the game, is a Dark Knight from this dimension. Culex is battled in an

The '''Waffle Kingdom''' is a far away land that [[Luigi]] visits during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. The Waffle Kingdom is ruled by [[Princess Éclair]] and her cabinet.

*So on...
After [[Mario]] leaves [[Mario's Pad|home]] to find [[Peach]] in the town of [[Rogueport]], Luigi is once again left alone. However, a letter arrives for the Mario Bros. which Luigi can't resist to peak at. The letter was from [[Crepe]], the Minister of the Waffle Kingdom. According to the letter, the lovely Princess Éclair was kidnapped by the vile [[Chestnut King]] and the kingdom needed assistance from the great hero Mario. However, since Mario was not around, Luigi went in his place.
*...And so forth
When Luigi arrives in the Waffle Kingdom, he is given a piece of the [[Marvelous Compass]Y]. If Luigi could find all the pieces, he would be able to track down Princess Éclair. After much toil and trouble (and quite a bit of luck), Luigi collects all the pieces, and heads to [[Hatesong Tower]] to find the princess. However, he actually finds the evil Chestnut King, and the two engage in an epic battle. Ultimately Princess Éclair appears and interrupts the battle. Apparently, the princess and the Chestnut King were lovers but the king was transformed into a monster by Minister Crepe, who was in fact a dark sorcerer. As it turns out, Crepe had orchestrated events so that Luigi would reassemble the Magical Compass for him. Once he had the compass, Crepe would use its power to conquer the Waffle Kingdom, saying the [[Luff]] empire will rise again. However, Luigi and his allies defeat the shadowy Crepe. As a result, peace is returned to the Waffle Kingdom.
===Circuit Break Island===
'''Circuit Break Island''' is an island [[Luigi]] visits to retrieve the third [[Marvelous Compass]] piece on his journey to rescue [[Princess Éclair]].

The karts race at high speeds are are equipped with missile launchers. It has never been seen, however Luigi mentions it in-between chapters during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.
===Hatesong Tower===
'''Hatesong Tower''' is the final area in [[Luigi|Luigi's]] quest in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. This is where Luigi and his partners fight the [[Chestnut King]] to save [[Princess Éclair]]. Luigi talks about his adventures after Mario comes back with another [[Crystal Star]].

The prize for winning is the [[Dramalama Plaque]], which contains a piece of the [[Marvelous Compass]].
===Plumpbelly Village===
'''Plumpbelly Village''' is a town on the Strudel Continent, possibly ruled by the [[Waffle Kingdom]]. It was the location of one of the pieces of the [[Marvelous Compass]] that [[Luigi]] retrieved during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. When Luigi arrived, the town was ruled by a two-headed snake named [[Hizza]], who demanded regular sacrifices of the village's women. Luigi offered to don a ceremonial chiffon bride's dress and go in place of the mayor's daughter, who was next up. [[Jerry]], the cherry-shaped Bob-omb, horrified by the sight of Luigi in a dress, followed him to try and stop him, but Hizza took Luigi into his lair. Luigi darted around the cave and made the snake eat itself, disappearing in a puff of smoke. After Luigi emerged, the mayor offered his daughter's hand in marriage. Luigi considered it, but that night, while staying in the village, he decided against it, convinced that [[Princess Éclair]] was his future bride, and sneaked out of the town. Jerry followed Luigi and [[Blooey]], making it his life mission to make sure that Luigi never dressed in drag again.
===Pudding Continent===

Beta element
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.
