This concept was almost carried forward into a GameCube Island for Wind Waker but was scrapped before making it into the final game.

New Super Mario Bros. U began as a tech demo, shown at E3 2011, called New Super Mario Bros. Mii. It allowed players to use Miis in all modes. If all four players chose Miis, Player 1 would be dressed as Mario, Player 2 as Luigi, Player 3 as Wario, and Player 4 as Waluigi but with blue sleeves.

While Miis are no longer selectable in all game modes, this concept did make it to the final game in the form of "Boost Rush Mode".

Resident Evil Gaiden
Resident Evil Gaiden (2001)

▼
Resident Evil Gaiden was originally supposed to be canon and coincide with Resident Evil Code: Veronica but this plot point was later dropped in future titles. Gaiden was referenced in Wesker's Report, specifically mentioning Leon joining an anti-Umbrella organization. However, the end of Gaiden implies that the "Leon" you see is actually a Bio Organic Weapon impersonating Leon. Resident Evil 4 makes it clear that this is not the case though, and the game has since been stricken from the official series timeline, rendering Gaiden a fully non-canon entry in the series.

Attachment In the Pewter Museum of Science in Pewter City there is an attraction featuring a space shuttle. In Red & Blue, the plaque accompanying the space shuttle model reads "Space Shuttle Columbia"; however, in the Generation III remakes the plaque simply reads "Space Shuttle". This is probably due to the fact that on February 1, 2003, the real Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon re-entry during its 28th mission, killing all seven crew members. The reference to Space Shuttle Columbia was kept in the Japanese version of the Generation III games.

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.

Attachment The impetus for Lemmings came from an animation created by Mike Dailly to prove he could draw recognizable human figures under an 8x8 pixel restriction (as coworker Scott Johnson was drawing them for another game under a 16x16 restriction). Gary Timmons added to the animation and also made the proto-Lemmings' walk cycle more fluid.

The level editor for Lemmings used by DMA Design was based on Deluxe Paint's interface. The familiar interface meant they were able to create levels more easily, competing with one another to create the most difficult level designs that they could. Unfortunately this led to them having a large amount of hard levels, requiring them to go back and design new easier ones for the start of the game.
