 ====Version difference====
-The original version of ''Melee'' contained a seal form of Topi like that of the Japanese version of ''Ice Climber''. Since the American version of the game, ''Ice Climber'' used the yeti version of Topi, then that version was included into the American version of ''Melee''. The seal version Topi does not appear in the American version and European version of ''Melee'' at all. This is probably because Nintendo knew that if they showed the Seal Topi, the game would be criticized for seemingly promoting animal cruelty, namely the issue of seal clubbing in Arctic regions around the world.
+The [[Beta elements|original version]] of ''Melee'' contained a seal form of Topi like that of the Japanese version of ''Ice Climber''. Since the American version of the game, ''Ice Climber'' used the yeti version of Topi, then that version was included into the American version of ''Melee''; similarly, the yeti-like creature appeared in the PAL versions of the game. Unlike other [[List of regional version differences (SSBM)|regional differences]], the player cannot see the seals if they switch the language of the game to Japanese in the American release. It is believed that the removal of the seals in the first place was due to the controversial topic of seal clubbing, which is a highly volatile topic in North America and Europe.
