Nintendo wanted to release for the game a special amiibo figure of an Arwing which could also transform into the walker, however it was tough to accomplish in standard amiibo size and it wouldn't have met product-safety standards.

The director for the United States localization needed a name for Porky's father so he named him "Aloysius," a reference to Looney Tunes where Daffy Duck gives the name to a giant to save himself from being giant food, because he thought the name was "dumb and funny."

Masahiro Sakurai wanted Geno to appear as a playable fighter, as he also wanted to include him previously in Brawl, and thought the character felt suited for the series since he has a gun for a hand. However, in the end he wasn't included, but instead appearing as a Mii Costume.

Attachment A male version of the game's protagonist was designed, but went unused. This is because the game's Kickstarter stretch goal to include a male protagonist was not met. The unused character was named Haru, and would have mirrored the game's protagonist, Hana.

Attachment Despite Blinx The Time Sweeper originally being a key part of the Xbox lineup, Microsoft declined to renew the Blinx trademark just 10 years after the game's original release. This was partly due to the IP being dormant, but also due to some "murkiness" as the company that created the character, ARTOON, is now defunct. Microsoft still own the copyright to the IP however, despite a common rumor that the game is in the public domain.

The Varia Suit upgrade is actually a mistranslation from Japanese. It was supposed to be "Barrier" Suit, but since Barrier is written roughly as Baria (バリア) in Japanese, the translators mistakenly wrote it as Varia instead, and the name stuck.

Attachment Concept art was produced showing that there was a possible third size-class for the Super Mutants, labelled as a "Spinebreaker." In terms of size, the Super Mutant Spinebreaker would have been somewhere between the regular Super Mutant Grunts and Super Mutant Behemoths, effectively being the second size class of Super Mutants.

Attachment Concept art and unused models exist for cut weapons referred to as the "Kryolator" and "Kryo-Grenade." While the grenade itself made it into the Mothership Zeta DLC with a new texture and mesh, the "Kryolator" was ultimately cut in the final version of the game, existing as only a mesh with textures. However it did later appear as a usable weapon in Fallout 4.

Tales of Phantasia
Tales of Phantasia (1995)
▲
1
▼
The story of Tale Phantasia (the original name of Tales of Phantasia) was originally intended to be presented from three different viewpoints.

The first of the viewpoints presents the story of Winona Pickford who would have met the main antagonist, Dhaos (he originates from another world), shortly after his arrival on the new world of Aselia. At first Winona Pickford sympathizes with his goals, until she saw his increasing violent behavior. This first part of the story was cut due to space limitations of the game's cartridge.

The second viewpoint is from that of Rhea Scarlet, the daughter of two prominent scientists. Her parents were the first casualties of the upcoming war which Dhaos was going to start. This viewpoint was not cut like the first one, but it was included in a smaller form than it was intended to be.

The last viewpoint tells the story of Cress Albane, the main protagonist in the final game. The final release was heavily built around this perspective.
