The game was originally called Conker: Live and Uncut. However, during development the game received heavy censorship. Even minor obscenities which were present in the original N64 version were censored.

Attachment GLaDOS had a few different designs before the final one seen in the game. Earlier designs included a floating brain, a sprawling, spidery mechanism, and an upside-down version of Botticelli's painting "The Birth of Venus" made out of robot parts. The final version was a huge mechanical device with a delicate robotic figure, which shows off her raw power and femininity.

Attachment There was once an "Anger's Power" badge in the beta for Paper Mario. It would cause Mario to gain a dark red tinge of color, and pose angrily. Mario's turn would be controlled automatically in battles, while the partner is controlled by the player. Mario's attack would increase by 2, but is AI neglects common sense, such as jumping on top of spike enemies. The effect is very much similar to the common "Berserk" status of many RPGs.

Attachment An unused sprite of Mr. Everdred as a ghost is present in the game's ROM. It is assumed that either he was going to be a party member at one point during development (when one of the party members faints, they will appear as a ghost) or Spoiler:when Mr. Everdred was beaten near Jackie's Cafe in Fourside, a ghost would have flown out of his body. Its true purpose has never been confirmed.

The dune-buggy that you use on Tyhrranosis comes from an unused race feature planned for the game. One of the race tracks for the game made it to the art phase before being cut fairly early on. Space combat was also supposed to make a return, but was also ultimately cut.

Matt Damon, who portrayed Jason Bourne in the Bourne films, was originally going to be involved in the game. Damon refused to appear due to creative differences, mainly due to the violence. He had lobbied the game's producers to make the gameplay similar to Myst, instead of a shooter. The producers weren't interested in his suggestion and instead went ahead without using Damon's likeness.

Axel was originally going to have an ending like the rest of the default characters. However, it was removed due to potential offense it may cause to both paraplegics and black people, as it has Calypso picking on the disabled driver. This may have also been the reason that he was changed from a default character to an unlockable one, as he would have been the only one who did not have an ending.

Attachment There were plans of putting a homeless man named Darkel in the game. His missions were to supposedly have you blow up buildings. He was removed after 9/11 attacks, possibly due to the developers thinking Darkel's character was in bad taste. Despite this, Darkel still remains listed in the manual credits and his character remains in the game's data.

Rockstar claimed that Darkel was removed because he did not tonally fit with the rest of the game, and his removal wasn't related to 9/11.

Attachment Graffiti on a wall near the Hub depicts a monster with tally marks next to it. The graffiti appears to be similar to the enemies of the game's early development title of "Killer Freaks from Outer Space". This could be a reference to the early enemies of the game, or a leftover piece from that development period.
