This is a list of beta elements and other unused content for ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]''.
==Early iterations==
While the [[Virtual Boy]] was still known by its development name VR-32, it was already being hinted that [[Wario]] was to have a major game appearance on the system.
In early 1995 at the Winter {{wp|Consumer Electronics Show}} in Las Vegas, a single level demo of ''[[VB Mario Land]]'' was shown, demonstrating a side-scrolling game

Line 29 ⟶ 30:
The earliest build seen in footage at E3 1995 show that stages originally didn't feature [[key]]s, and the elevator at the end of stages were already open. Wario's warp pipe animation was not yet functioning, and the screen instead faded to black between rooms. The animation when ground pounding enemies was different, with no explosion effect like the final game.<ref>P, Anthony (January 30, 2017).

Screenshots of a second build seen in magazines around September 1995 first showed a space for the key in the HUD, and the coin counter was changed to four digits. A third build had a different coin design in the HUD, and used digits more resembling the in-game text.
In the November 1995 {{wp|Nintendo Space World|Famicom Spaceworld}} official guidebook, screenshots of both the third and final build were published together.<ref>Famicom Spaceworld official guidebook, November 1995, pg 10 & 28</ref>

|-
|[[Stage 1 (Virtual Boy Wario Land)|Stage 1]]
|[[File:VBWL S1 prerelease.png|300px]]
|[[File:VBWL S1 final.png|300px]]
|style="text-align:left"|The floor in Stage 1 used to be positioned lower, and spikes weren't visible at the bottom of pits. The low amount of time at this point in the level suggest that the time limit used to be five minutes rather than twenty.
