Just Dance 2017/Beta Elements

Graphics and Interfaces

 * The menu was a bit less equipped at first, as the Options section lacked the My Profile and the Search buttons.
 * The playlist names were all in caps, and there were also two unused ones named "MOST PLAYED" and "E3 SPECIALS".
 * On the PlayStation 4 version of the E3 copy, the X button was programmed to label the song as Favorite, and L1 was the button that one had to press to activate the dance routine. In the final version, the X button lets the player dance to the song instead of the L1 button.
 * There are some differences between the E3 and the Gamescom version of the Just Dance Machine animation:
 * The beginning is completely different.
 * The Story video is brighter and shorter.
 * The dancing emblem has a different animation.
 * The spaceship is darker and creates a much bigger and brighter light when it lands on the Earth.
 * A scene lasts longer where it starts off with a house dance party and about a minute the spaceship slowly comes down above the roof of the house.
 * However, in the Gamescom and Final release the scene is immediately shown when the spaceship abducts a dancer.
 * The man's silhouette is pink instead of black.
 * The routines' icons have different positions and the exclusive ones for Just Dance Unlimited are not shown at all.
 * An editing error from 0:58 to 1:03 (referring to the video comparison) is fixed.
 * The Just Dance Machine routines Metal Guitar and Twerk originally had different icons.
 * At the end of the songlist, there was a button that would have activated the Non-Stop Shuffle mode from Just Dance 4. In the final version, it is replaced by the Playlist button.
 * In all the demo builds, the generic player nicknames ("Happy", "Jazzy", etc.) were in mixed case like in its two predecessors. In the final version, they are in all caps ("HAPPY" instead of "Happy"). Despite this, preview footage for newly-added Just Dance Unlimited routines would still have the names in mixed case.
 * When Superstar is achieved, the effects when you're getting closer to Superstar will still appear.
 * In the files, there are three unreleased Just Dance Machine. They are:
 * Air Drummer, with sky blue pictograms and yellow props
 * Detective, with brown pictograms and light blue props
 * Sumo, with red pictograms and blue props

Bailar

 * The avatar for Bailar was supposed to have a blue outline instead of a purple one.

Bang

 * In a Beta Unlimited preview, the background uses different colors and animations, the pictures of the winking women were in full opacity and coloured and also the same place where the fingers had replaced the women in the final, and the lipsticks in the verses were placed horizontally and not vertically.

Bonbon

Cake By The Ocean

 * Two of the animals in the background also differed from the finalized version; the octopus was whiter and one of the seahorses had green arms instead of pink ones.
 * In the Beta menu icon for the Earphones Version, the wire for the earphones had an outline as well as the coaches. It has no outline in the final version.

Carnaval Boom

 * Carnaval Boom originally had a different title: Samba Samba. This is proven by its code name (Samba).
 * Besides, Pierre Billon was going to be credited as artist instead of Latino Sunset.

Cheap Thrills

 * In the E3 preview for the Classic routine, the pictograms are much lighter than in the final game. Their colors were changed after the routine was released in Just Dance Now, becuase of the mostly white background.

Don’t Stop Me Now

 * C2 was originally going to have a light blue outline like C1, as proven by some screenshots. It was also going to have a white outline, as seen on the square. In the final version of the routine, C2's beta outline was replaced by a paper-like outline.
 * In the preview gameplay at E3, the pictograms for C2 had the same colour as C1's. This was changed in the final version, where C2's pictograms are red instead of wine purple.

 * In its game files, it can be seen that no artist is credited, and the credit string reads "TBD" ("to be discussed") instead, which means the routine was scrapped in very early development.

La Bicicleta

 * Some pictograms look different, especially the one for Gold Move 1.
 * The end of the song sounds different as well.
