There's an area in 'Dino Mines' that can only be accessed using hacks/glitches, which is an empty arena with a platform in the middle. It was likely going to be used for a boss battle to obtain an egg, much like in Spooky Swamp.

The Pride Lands were originally going to be to be a playable level, with Sora turning into a lion to fight. This idea was scrapped as fighting and walking in a four-legged body required additional programming that the team did not have time to create. The concept was later used in the sequel.

Attachment Door to Phantomile began as a much darker game involving robotic stone-like figures. But, due to most games in the Playstation era already having a dark theme, series creator Hideo Yoshizawa decided to make it into a more lighthearted game while still containing a sort of dark undertone to it. This later became the defining traits of the Klonoa series.

Attachment Since the early versions of the game, the Metropolis stage has had a number of changes. The original time of day was daytime, but the weather in the final version is overcast. The TV in the streets had the Regime's logo which faded to Superman with glowing eyes and then back again. The final versions have just the logo. In an earlier version, it shows the Daily Planet logo as unfinished on the rooftops, but in the final versions it's shown completed.

Franchise: Pokémon
▲

▼
Attachment Two early Pokemon designs are named 'Godzillante' and 'Gorillaimo'.
'Godzillante' is most likely based on reptilian monster Godzilla, and
'Gorillaimo' could be based on Donkey Kong or the Universal monster King Kong. Not much is known about either Pokemon. Their designs could have been developed into other Pokemon, as they vaguely resemble Tyranitar and Slaking.

Mario & Wario
Mario & Wario (1993)
▲
1
▼
Attachment Although Mario & Wario was released only in Japan, the game is entirely in English; a US release was planned, complete with box art, yet never materialized.

Of note is that the scrapped English box art features a logo identical to the one seen on the title screen, and that the game itself contains unused graphics for a Japanese version of the title screen with a logo identical to that seen on the Japanese box art. Combining this with the fact that Nintendo games' title logos rarely deviate from the box art (and vice-versa), this implies that the final game is actually based on an English prototype which was shipped to Japanese retailers by mistake.

Murfy's last quote in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is "See you in Rayman 4", so it is probable that he was to appear in the cancelled Rayman 4. Or he may have been referring to Rayman 3's sequel, Hoodlum's Revenge, where he appeared.

There was a Dreamcast port in development at the same time as the PlayStation 2 version. The port was being developed by Gearbox Software and was going have the Blue Shift expansion included. Though is was almost finished and was pretty much ready to ship, the port was cancelled "due to changing market conditions."

Attachment The weapon Shuraba was intended to have an animation where the sword's pulsing heart would show on the hilt of the sword when the weapon was fully charged. During development, the developers forgot to put the animation on the weapon, so the animation does not appear in the game, but the code still exists.

Originally, Conner was going to have a Chain Blade, which, according to concept art, was going to act as a long-ranged hidden blade. The weapon was not used as the teams "felt it to be heading down too much of a fantasy route." The chain blade was replaced with the real life Sheng Biao/Rope Dart.
