Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VI (1994)

Attachment There are three unused enemies hidden in the game's code. These are CzarDragon, Colossus and an alternate Umaro. The Colossus and Umaro use the same graphics and palettes as other enemies in the game. The Colossus is fairly simple and has a full attack script, and the alternate Umaro is weaker than the original.

CzarDragon however has no script, so when the battle begins, all it does is attack repeatedly. Which is odd, as there's a line of battle dialogue for the enemy, as though it was intended to be fought. The dialogue reads:
Mwa, ha ha... Humans and their desires! I'm free at last! I bring you destruction... I bring you terror... I am Czar... Prepare yourselves!
Taking into account the dialogue and its likeness to Shinryu in Final Fantasy V, it seems as though CzarDragon was intended to be an optional end boss. In the Gameboy Advance rerelease, CzarDragon can be fought under its original Japanese name Kaiser Dragon. It has a unique sprite similar to the SNES design.

In the game's code there is a trainer class for "Chief" called "シルフのチーフ" which translates to Silph's Chief. This possibly meant that the player had to battle Silph Co.'s president.

Attachment In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, map data exists for a closed version of the Flower Shop (which in the final version is usually always open) on Route 104. In this unused map there is only one non-playable character, and they inform the player that the Flower Shop is closed.

The map was originally used in the Pokémon Festa 2002 demo to limit the player's experience of the game. It was later removed from gameplay in the final version, but still exists within the code.

Attachment Olivine City has a hidden map/house that is only accessible by using cheat codes.
The map is of a small house containing two NPCs. The first is a Rhydon, whose glitched sprite changes into a Clefairy during walking animations. When A is pressed in front of it, it simply says, "Gugooh!" The next is a woman, when A is pressed in front of the woman in the house, she says: "When my Pokémon got sick, the Pharmacist in Ecruteak made some medicine for me." It is worth noting that she says that the pharmacy is located in Ecruteak City, when in the final version of the game it was located in Cianwood City.

Also, presuming that the player is in the Olivine House; if the radio is playing "The Pokédex Show" instead of the "Pokédex Talk Show" the game will not display any Pokédex entries and freeze (this will occur between 4am and 10am).

Red XIII had a subplot that was cut from the game as the plot developed in a different direction. Originally there were to be two Red XIII clones created by Hojo called Cobalt XIV and Indigo XV. The player would have to fight all three of the "Red XIIIs" and figure out which was the real one, with the three swapping places periodically. Defeating the real Red XIII by accident meant the player had to fight the following boss battle with Hojo with only two party members. Cobalt and Indigo would return in the final dungeon of the game, turned into cyborgs and determined to prove they were superior to the real Red XIII.

Two members of the terrorist group Dead Cell were cut from the game. One of which was Chinaman who was based off of Jet Li. He was suppose to be fought in the filtration system where Raiden fights Vamp in the final version. He had the ability to walk on water, walls, and ceilings.

He could hold his breath underwater for a very long time and had a dragon tattoo would come to life whenever he touched the water. However, he was cut from the end version and his abilities were given to Vamp. Chinaman is mentioned in the game as one of the Dead Cell members who died before the Big Shell incident.

Two members of the terrorist group Dead Cell were cut from the game. One of which was Old Boy, a soldier who served in World War II and was a mentor to mercenaries and soldiers, including Big Boss. He was cut very early in development. However, he would have commanded troops in his fight against Raiden, and would have used guns and equipment from the WWII era.
