It is possible that fire arrows were originally intended to be in Twilight Princess. Fire arrows can be found in the game's data. Though they can only be obtained with a cheat device and they do not function.

The idea behind "Stop 'N' Swop" was to do certain challenges/objectives in "Banjo-Tooie," then stop and swap the cartridges while the system was still on. This would have unlocked special items in "Banjo-Kazooie." You can than swap the games again to get the items in "Tooie." This idea was scrapped when the window of time that players could "hot swap" games (the ability to switch games when the power was on) was shortened from 10 seconds to only 1 second. There are still cheat codes that will unlock the special items in Banjo-Kazooie.

Attachment In the Doom II final level "Icon of Sin", the boss is supposed to be a giant demon head with a fragment missing from its forehead. It says, "To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero!", distorted and in reverse to sound like a demonic chant. One can use the "noclip" cheat to enter the boss and see Romero's severed head which is skewered on a post. John Romero is the creator of the Doom series. The staff didn't like Romero due to his egotistical personality. They decided to get him back by making him the final boss.

Attachment According to an interview with Satoru Iwata, Masahiro Sakurai intended for the characters to use Final Smashes in this game. It was taken out due to hardware limitations. This concept was held off until Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Going in the debug menu you can find 3 sound files. 2 of them of Ness saying "PK" and "Starstorm!". The third is Captain Falcon saying "Come On!".

After collecting everything in the game, two item slots remain empty - the Magic Cape and Book of Mudora, while coded into the game and fill these slots when hacked into the player's inventory, cannot be obtained normally.

The Magic Cape works as usual (you become invisible and invincible at the cost of magic power), but the Book of Mudora does nothing; as it fills the last slot in the A-button portion of the status screen, you were likely supposed to find the Book and either use it yourself (as in ALTTP) or give it to Zelda.

While porting the game to the NES, one of the developers snuck in a code that gave you all the powerups, due to his inability to play the game. He then forgot to take the code out.

The code later became known as the Konami Code.

In original copies of Half-Life, During Chapter 3, there is a secret room in map c1a1c that can only be accessed by enabling cheat mode and noclipping through the floor. The room is made of tiled pictures of Valve co-founder Gabe Newell. The room still exists in later versions of the game, although the imagery of Newell has been removed and attempting to enter the room takes you back into the normal map.

There are 2 unused abilities. No Ability and Cacophony.
No Ability is presumed to be an error handler, and is used when the game manages to find a Pokémon with an ability of ID set to 00. The term isn't used in the final game because all Pokémon were given abilities.
Cacophony is an ability similar to Soundproof, which isn't assigned any Pokémon in the game. It's assumed it was meant to be the ability for Whismur, Loudred, and Exploud, given their nature for noise-based attacks.

This room can be accessed with cheats by typing 'noclip' into the console. It is also possible to access the room without cheats by using the 'Portal edge Glitch' on PC or it can be accessed on console and pc using a glitch called 'Portal clipping'.

There is a Debug Mode code accessed from the Sound Test in the options menu that is inputted by playing songs in the order 01, 09, 09, 02, 01, 01, 02, 04. This is a reference to the North American release date of the game, which was on 1992/11/24, or November 24th, 1992.

The code to access the Level Select is 19, 65, 09, 17. These numbers reference Sonic developer Yuji Naka's birthday, September 17th, 1965.
