There were supposed to be more scenes of Adrienne and Don as a "normal" couple at the beginning of the game to show the change in Don's personalty over the course of the game. The scenes were cut to have more emphasis on the gameplay.

The game was to feature areas from the original Rayman, including 'Band Land' and 'Picture City' along with original levels like "The Temporal Palace", and "Candy LTD." There was also a focus on a character known as "Dark Rayman", with an entire level devoted to him. Also, Rayman was to feature multiple forms like in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc.

Attachment The game was meant to be longer, but due to time constraints, the high manufacturing costs of a 34 megabit cartridge with NVRAM, and Sega's commitment to a major McDonald's Happy Meal promotion featuring a sweepstakes to win a copy of the game, the decision was made to split the game into two games, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and Sonic & Knuckles. Evidence of this split can be found in the level select menu (sound test), where levels from the second game (such as Flying Battery, Mushroom Vally, and Sandopolis) can be found.

Attachment Notch intended to include a "Sky Dimension", which would be the polar opposite of the Nether. It was to be included in the Beta 1.8 Adventure Update. Players would have been able to enter a world made up of floating formations once they slept in a bed. However, Notch delayed this new area until he could make the Nether more interesting. Eventually, the Sky Dimension was converted into the End, though the Sky Dimension was unintentionally able to be accessed in Beta 1.6 and 1.7.

The developers initially considered replacing the character Ness with Lucas (the protagonist of the Japan-only GBA title Mother 3), and planned on making Marth and Roy Japanese-exclusive fighters. However, Ness remained the spokes-fighter for the Earthbound trilogy due to consideration for delays in releasing Mother 3, and Marth and Roy were made available worldwide due to fans' desires to play as the Fire Emblem duo.

There were originally going to be 190 Pokemon instead of 151; 39 of them were later moved to Pokemon Gold and Silver. By checking the game's code, you can see the orders in which the Pokemon were entered into the game, Rhydon being first and ending with Victreebel. Since Ken Sugimori, the designer of the Pokemon, confirmed that Rhydon was the first Pokemon ever designed, it can also be inferred that the Pokemon were put into the game in the order in which they were originally intended to appear in the Pokedex. The ordering also proves that all 190 Pokemon were conceived before the original games' release.
