Daze Before Christmas
Daze Before Christmas (1994)

Inside the code for the SNES version of Daze Before Christmas are a set of mostly Christmas-related quotes and messages:

Any dramatic game the producers want us to take seriously as a
representation of contemporary reality cannot be taken seriously as a
representation of anything -- except a game to be ignored by anyone
capable of sitting upright in a chair and chewing gum simultaneously.
-- Richard Schickel (slightly modified)


... Now you're ready for the actual shopping. Your goal should be to
get it over with as quickly as possible, because the longer you stay in
the mall, the longer your children will have to listen to holiday songs
on the mall public-address system, and many of these songs can damage
children emotionally. For example: "Frosty the Snowman" is about a
snowman who befriends some children, plays with them until they learn
to love him, then melts. And "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is about
a young reindeer who, because of a physical deformity, is treated as an
outcast by the other reindeer. Then along comes good, old Santa. Does
he ignore the deformity? Does he look past Rudolph's nose and respect
Rudolph for the sensitive reindeer he is underneath? No. Santa asks
Rudolph to guide his sleigh, as if Rudolph were nothing more than some
kind of headlight with legs and a tail. So unless you want your
children exposed to this kind of insensitivity, you should shop
quickly. -- Dave Barry, "Christmas Shopping: A Survivor's Guide"


I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to
see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph. -- Shirley Temple

During the prerelease of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, a set of placeholder pages were found on the game's website relating to different characters. Most notable of these pages was one for Helga, a character who was in the first Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl and hadn't been seen in All-Star Brawl 2 marketing materials or leaks at that point - this led a lot of fans to believe that Helga would be returning. Ultimately, she would only be a background cameo on the Aquarium stage.

Alongside Garfield, Rocksteady from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was originally going to be one of the two post-launch playable fighters in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl - notably without his partner-in-crime Bebop, much like Michelangelo and Leonardo's inclusion without Raphael and Donatello. He was ultimately replaced by Shredder, and all that remained of his inclusion at launch was a placeholder stock image and the codename "hunter".

Rocksteady would eventually become playable in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2.

Big Bumpin' was originally an adaptation of the Sumo minigame from Fuzion Frenzy, where characters would push one another around inside caged metal zorb balls. However, Burger King wanted all of the mascot characters to be visible in gameplay, leading to the game being reworked into a dodgems game as you could see the characters' heads.

The idea got shot down after developers had trouble knowing what to do with them. A remnant of the idea still exists in-game, allowing Elephant Mario to carry large objects that are already on the stage.

Traveler's Tales had intended to slide a Christian Easter egg into Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!, inserting a sticker on a suitcase reading "JOHN 3:16", a citation for a Bible verse reading:

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life"

When Disney saw it, they insisted that it be removed, so in the final game the sticker simply reads "NY CITY".

Attachment An unused battle model of Edelgard's Hegemon Husk exists within the data of Three Hopes, as seen with the head that now matches her Three Hopes design it is an original model made for this game.

As the cutscenes in the game are all pre-rendered, and that is the only time we see Hegemon Edelgard in Three Hopes, it is speculated that the seen where she transforms may originally have been a boss fight.

Despite being playable in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Gilbert, Anna, Cyril, Hanneman, and Alois all have recruitment flags (the internal value which tells the game if the unit is in your army or not). They lack any skills or data assigned to them however and trying to deploy these units or use them in battle with crash the game.

Interestingly, Gibert is not referred to by his real name nor is he sorted to be with Kingdom characters despite his role in the Three Hopes story. However Alois is always sorted to be next to Jeralt and Byleth in the menu, rather than with the Church like in Three Houses.

Attachment Within the game, there exists a model of a generic Hero class found in the training grounds in the later half of the game, and class data for an unused Hero class exists within the game that can be loaded in.

It uses the generic attacks of the 'Mercenary' Class but lacks the animations for it's class action despite having 2 meters for it, suggesting that it was meant to be a promotion for the class rather than Swordmaster being the sole promotion to Mercenary.

War Monk, Dark Flier, and Valkyrie also exist within the game's code, but they're in an extremely unfinished state as they lack a Sprite, Model, Text, and any functional abilities. They do however have Class Stat bonuses assigned to them, hinting that at one point they were considered to be brought back.

Note: it is speculated due to Holst's in-game lore and his character design that he was originally designed to canonically be in the Hero class and not the Swordmaster class like he is in the final game, this is however just speculation.

Attachment Pac-Man World Rally was originally going to be based on the works of famed psychedelic hot rod cartoonist Stanley Mouse. Fygar's kart is a leftover from this version of the project, hence why it doesn't fit the aesthetic style of the other karts and isn't directly based on the Dig Dug franchise.

Attachment Inside the prototype Xbox version of Pac-Man World Rally, files pertaining to Snoopy from Peanuts and a vehicle for him can be found. While the initial discovery of these files left a lot of mystery over whether they were leftovers from another project or a scrapped crossover, a concept image from World Rally would emerge shortly after revealing Snoopy was indeed planned as a crossover racer.

Smart Bomb Interactive, the developers of Pac-Man World Rally, worked on the game Snoopy vs. the Red Baron around the same time, and a few shared files from that game including placeholder cutscene dialogue can also be found in Pac-Man World Rally's data.
