Attachment In Sports mode, the Arnold football has an indicator above it to inform players that it must be grabbed and not hit. This graphic, however, is a crude placeholder graphic that appears to have slipped into the final game.

The SNES versions of Beethoven: The Ultimate Canine Caper! and Tom & Jerry both contain a dummy text file from the SNES version of The Hunt for Red October.

IN NOVEMBER OF 1984, SHORTLY BEFORE GORBACHEV CAME TO POWER,
A TYPHOON- CLASS SOVIET SUB SURFACED JUST SOUTH OF THE GRAND BANKS.
IT THEN SANK IN DEEP WATER, APPARENTLY SUFFERING A RADIATION PROBLEM.
UNCONFIRMED REPORTS INDICATED SOME OF THE CREW WERE RESCUED.
BUT ACCORDING TO REPEATED STATEMENTS BY BOTH SOVIET AND AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS,
NOTHING OF WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE... ...EVER HAPPENED.

Dottori-kun

▼
Dottori-Kun, a 1991 demake of Sega's 1979 maze game Head-On, was created not to be played, but rather as a legal loophole around Japan's Electrical Appliance and Material Control Law which claimed that all arcade machines must contain a game when sold. Dottori-Kun allowed Sega to sell generic Astro City arcade machines which the arcade owner could swap the contents of at their leisure, and included test features to ensure the machine worked properly before installing a proper game. The game did not support coin insertion, and therefore was not a viable option for arcades even if an owner believed there was an audience for its simplistic gameplay and graphics, leading to the board being scrapped most of the time.

Star Fox Command
Star Fox Command (2006)
▲

▼
Attachment Unusued icons found within Star Fox Command curiously show ROB 64 with the original Great Fox as it appeared in previous installments such as Star Fox 64 and Star Fox: Assault. This is odd, because the Great Fox was already shown to be completely destroyed in the climax for the previous game, Star Fox: Assault, which is why it was replaced with a small space carrier in the final version of Command.

This indicates that this was either merely a placeholder, or at some point, the development team had considered bringing the original Great Fox model back as it was prior to Assault's ending.

According to a Japanese promotional tape, earlier versions of some of the special weapons function differently than they do in the final game:
• Star Crash was a single attack that homed in on enemies rather than being used as a shield.
• Gravity Hold stopped time instead of defeating all enemies on screen.
• Gyro Attack did not have a limit and it could be used in multiple directions at once.
