Attachment A debug room can be accessed using GameShark codes, which features some testing tiles, and a Japanese voice track, which when translated reads:
"Hi, I'm Joji Yanami. I'm not a young man anymore. I've done this job for a long time. Eyup. I've done a lot of stupid roles. Man, though, this year has been so hot, I could die. It's way too much... I'm an old man, you see. I can't do anything anymore. It's exhausting. Someone save me, please. It's already September. I think something will come of all this, maybe. Old age is old age. Maybe not, though. Yeah. Well, that's all. See you, then."

Attachment There's a hidden test level called "Citadel" found in the game's coding. It was designed during the early stages of multiplayer and had it been functional in the finished game, Oddjob and Mayday wouldn't have been available to play.

The level can only be accessed through the use of a cheat device. As an obvious test level, however, there are numerous glitches which prevent it from being properly playable.

There's a few unused messages hidden in the ROM that differ from the US and EU version. In the US, there are 3 messages of "Hello there!" whereas in the EU version they read:
"Wow Salem, so this is what the inside of a hex editor looks like..."
"Hello there!"
"Hey look! Someone ripped our game!!!"

There is also a large chunk of uncompiled code, and for some reason the file path to the developer's ZoneAlarm settings: "C:\PROGRAM FILES\ZONE LABS\ZONEALARM\ZONEALARM.E"

Attachment In the first level of the game, the Dam, there's a small island near the end which can be seen from afar. The island features a guard tower and an inoperable drone gun with some beta textures. It can only be reachable using a cheat device and a no clipping cheat enabled.

Left over code suggest the player had to travel to the island and retrieve proper equipment to perform a bungee jump. 'Piton Gun' and 'Bungee' can still be seen in the games code, and a Piton Gun is what Bond used in the movie to get to the facility. However, according to Duncan Botwood, one of the developers on the game, it was originally planned for players to investigate the area and find some armor as a reward.

Attachment There are 3 unused items in the game's code:
Warp System: Allows you to exit to the world map, disappears after use. Likely removed due to the number of times in the story you're supposed to be trapped in a dungeon.
Sphere: The description reads "Ball?" There appears to be no other use for it.
Badge 2: Again, has no actual use, and is just a recolor of the Leader's Badge.

Attachment There was originally a stage called Hidden Palace Zone in the game. It featured an underground cave full of shiny gems. Code for the stage exists on the final version of the cartridge, however it cannot be played through normal means. In an interview, Yuji Naka revealed that the player would be warped to the Hidden Palace Zone when all 7 Chaos Emeralds were collected. There, you would be given the ability to become Super Sonic.

Early versions of the stage can be played in prototypes of the game.

Attachment In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, map data exists for a closed version of the Flower Shop (which in the final version is usually always open) on Route 104. In this unused map there is only one non-playable character, and they inform the player that the Flower Shop is closed.

The map was originally used in the Pokémon Festa 2002 demo to limit the player's experience of the game. It was later removed from gameplay in the final version, but still exists within the code.

Attachment Olivine City has a hidden map/house that is only accessible by using cheat codes.
The map is of a small house containing two NPCs. The first is a Rhydon, whose glitched sprite changes into a Clefairy during walking animations. When A is pressed in front of it, it simply says, "Gugooh!" The next is a woman, when A is pressed in front of the woman in the house, she says: "When my Pokémon got sick, the Pharmacist in Ecruteak made some medicine for me." It is worth noting that she says that the pharmacy is located in Ecruteak City, when in the final version of the game it was located in Cianwood City.

Also, presuming that the player is in the Olivine House; if the radio is playing "The Pokédex Show" instead of the "Pokédex Talk Show" the game will not display any Pokédex entries and freeze (this will occur between 4am and 10am).
