Attachment In the level Golly G. Golem, there is a Golem boss you must fight to progress. In the first teaser trailer for Rayman Origins, Rayman and Globox can be seen fighting a green, mossy version of the Golem which never appears in the final game. The cover of the game still features this early design for the character.

Attachment Rufus' original concept art is completely different when compared to his final design. He was shown to be much slender, African American and wore martial artist robes with the words "King Cobra" on the belt. The final design was chosen because the developers wanted to leave an impression on players with his obese appearance and set him apart from the other characters.

Attachment A prequel to the Kirby series titled "Kid Kirby" was being developed for the SNES by DMA Design, now Rockstar North.

The last lines of dialog the Prince says are supposed to be the same as what he says in the first game, The Sands of Time, meaning he was telling the story of all three games to Spoiler:Farah after they defeated the Dark Prince and Zurvan. However, the last lines the prince says were changed. In the Sands of Time, his last lines were, "...You may wonder who I am or why I say this. Sit down and I will tell you a tale like none that you have ever heard..." In the Two Thrones, he says, "...You may wonder who I really am or why I say this. Come, and I will tell you a tale like none that you have ever heard..."

There were originally different endings for each of the racers. They were filmed with real actors and some differ to the final endings. The endings were dropped for numerous reasons, most notably, the campness and cheesiness of the endings themselves, the poor production quality, and the fact that they were using the working title of 'High Octane'. The endings can be found in Twisted Metal: Head-On Extra Twisted Edition.

Attachment Gears were a type of block that were available in Indev 0.31 which could be used in a similar way to redstone. They could only be placed on the side of blocks, and were never available in the release versions. In earlier builds players could hack the game to make them accessible, but the files were removed in later updates.

Attachment Kraid was intended to return as a boss, but was scrapped due to time constraints. Kraid's character model was completely finished, but the there wasn't enough time left to create a fully polished boss fight.

"It was decided that Kraid was not imperative enough to the Metroid Prime project to run the risk of pushing up the release date in order to fit him in." -Gene Kohler

Attachment The Pokemon, Ditto, was meant to be a possible helper when a Pokeball was thrown. He was supposed to transform into the player that threw the ball and would help fight. However, there were problems with its programming and it was removed. By using an action replay, Ditto can be put back into the game, but he is lacking his "transform" ability. Instead, all it does is say "Meta!" (it's Japanese name being Metamon) and disappears. Anyone who runs into it is dealt 7-8% damage.

Attachment The original idea for the game was to replace Chell with a new protagonist named Mel. Cave Johnson was to replace GLaDOS as the antagonist, and Mel was going to have many different personality spheres follow her (such as the Adventure Sphere, Betty, and one referred to as the "Morgan Freeman Sphere") instead of just Wheatley. Play testers were up for the idea of Mel until they became disappointed when GLaDOS woke up and didn't recognize the player as the character that defeated her in the first game. Mel was then put in the multiplayer before being scrapped entirely and replaced with Atlas and P-Body.

Pokémon Crystal Version

Attachment Even though Pokémon Crystal is incompatible with the Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Light, Super Game Boy and Super Game Boy 2, there is an unused Super Game Boy border programmed into the game. This can be seen by setting a flag in the game's RAM to enable the Super Game Boy features. Cheating devices such as the Game Genie can also be used to achieve the same effect temporarily. The border is a leftover from the Japanese version of Pokémon Gold; the design is the same and the text reads Pocket Monsters Gold Version, rather than the English version's title of "Pokémon Gold".

When the player attempts to play the game on a model of the Game Boy prior to the Game Boy Color, the error message "This Game Pak is designed only for use on the Game Boy Color." is output by the game, with the word Crystal spelled out using Unown. There is an unused color palette associated with this message, using an orange tint, which appears when triggering the unused Super Game Boy border.

Attachment The S.T.A.R.S. group photo has an unidentified member on the far left. It is speculated that he is either the predecessor of Rebecca Chambers or an early concept of Kevin Dooley, an RPD pilot who sometimes helped the S.T.A.R.S. team on their missions. The latter would make sense as there is an RPD helicopter in the background.

In the N64 beta of the game, STARS Bravo Team member Edward Dewey is found missing a right hand, after being attacked by Cerberus dogs. This would explain the severed hand holding a gun that would be found by Joseph Frost in the original Resident Evil.

In the final game he still has both hands as the remake of Resident Evil no longer has Joseph finding a severed hand.
