There are three unused levels still present within the game; an Airship Level, an unfinished version of Fahrenheit Frenzy, and a Warp Room that was presented at E3 2001. Out of the three, the Airship level is the most finished.
The E3 Warp Room is an area containing 5 warp pads, all of which have no collision and will not warp the player anywhere. Interestingly, each warp pad has a hologram of their respective levels overlaid on the pads. This feature isn’t used anywhere in the final game.
The Airship level and the E3 Warp Room can be accessed through Action Replay codes on the North American GameCube versions.

Originally, the Special Stages were going to have Sonic navigate a rotating maze, building upon the framework of Sonic 1's Special Stage. Although similar, Sonic CD's Special Stage was planned to have two rotating layers that the player switched between.
According to BEEP and Marukatsu MegaDrive magazine interviews, with game's planner Hiroaki Chino, the developers thought the Special Stage was very slow, so they decided to redo it to make better use of the Sega CD hardware.

The squires in the game have an unused animation that may have been planned for use when the player attacks one with the Patty Wagon. The squires do play a part of their animation, however, they simply disappear after they use their trumpets when the player hits them.

The GBA version was planned to have character's emotions within the text boxes similar to their previous Game Boy Color games. The character's faces were originally cartoonish in comparison to their more realistic ones seen in the final game.

Although the player can only see portions of Hogwarts during the wintertime in the original PlayStation version, several other areas are actually modeled out in the season's theme. Attempting to enter the Quidditch field during the winter will change the season to summertime.

A demo build of the game shows that Frogger would've had a lot more animations, including Frogger bouncing, doing a mid-air flip, and extra death animation, hopping to his left and right, doing a cartwheel, a "leapfrog" animation, panting, an alternate slipping animation with one slipping to the left and one to the right, a drowning animation, doing a super hop, two idle animations, kicking upwards while doing a handstand, and doing a "superstart."
The sinking and mid-air flip animations would later be used in the sequel.

By datamining a demo build of the game, an image of Donkey Kong Jr. can be found, suggesting that he may have been planned to appear in the game instead of Diddy Kong. Interestingly, Diddy Kong's internal filename in the final version is listed as "dk_jr," suggesting that Diddy's appearance may have been a later addition.
