Attachment Within the game's data is an original cover of the song "Battle! Wild Pokémon" from Pokémon Diamond & Pearl. In addition, an early placeholder texture for score rankings features the names of numerous Pokémon characters.
LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game

There were three levels planned and almost finished for the game but cut: The first was a level in the Episode I chapter which has the player playing the scene where Anakin accidently attacks and destroys a Trade Federation ship in the space above Naboo. The second one was for the Episode II levels and featured a playable version of Anakin and Obi-Wan's chase of Zam Weasel in a speeder throughout Coruscant like in the beginning of the movie. The third was the scene in Episode III where Obi-Wan chases General Grevious around Utapau on a Boga creature.

The first level was cut because the developers thought that it bloated its Episode's level count, and they wanted the number of levels between all of them to be mostly even. It is unknown why the Speeder chase was cut, but the Boga chase level was cut due to the developers thinking it clashed with the game's co-op multiplayer feature. Nonetheless, the Trade Federation ship level and the Zam Weasel Chase would eventually be realized in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga. However, the Boga chase level didn't appear in that game at all.

Seven Force, a boss from Gunstar Heroes that appears in this game as the boss of the Underground Mine stage, was originally intended to have two extra forms: Harpy Force and Nemesis Force. These forms were never finished due to time constraints, but voice clips of the game's announcer saying each form's name can be found in the Voice Test, and their idle sprites can be found in the game's data.
WWE 2K22
1
Attachment A scrapped graphic for a match between Rey Mysterio vs. Jushin Thunder Liger from WCW Starrcade 1996 can still be found in the game's code suggesting the match was originally meant to be featured in the game's Showcase mode focusing on Rey Mysterio's career. The match was likely scrapped due to licensing issues with Jushin Thunder Liger.

Although the match was scrapped; Jushin Thunder Liger's mask can still be found within the game's Create a Superstar, and WCW Starrcade 1996 Rey Mysterio was released as DLC.
WWE 2K22
1
Attachment In the files of WWE 2K22 can be found base dialogue and social media interactions for a scrapped female MyRISE storyline that would have seen Bray Wyatt possess Dana Brooke and turning her into “The Shiend”, to get revenge on his former associate Alexa Bliss. The storyline would have included a Hell In a Cell match between Alexa Bliss and "The Shiend", and a "Elimination Chamber of Horrors" match. A "Firefly Funhouse set" area can also be found in the game's files that would have presumably been used in some of this story's cutscenes.

This storyline was ultimately scrapped as Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) was released from WWE on July 31st, 2021 due to "budget cuts".
WWE 2K22
1
Attachment Although WWE had released Bray Wyatt on July 31st, 2021 due to "budget cuts" (8 months before the release of the game), it seems Visual Concepts had put significant work into him in WWE 2K22 before his release as new entrance motions, championship victory motions, and nameplates for both Bray Wyatt and The Fiend can be found in game.

The entrance motions can still be selected in Create an Entrance as "Funhouse Friend" and "Fiendish", while the championship victory motion is also listed in Create a Victory as "Fiendish" (though the "Fiendish" championship victory is listed twice in game, both motions are the exact same). The nameplates however are hidden in the game files.
Super Mario Strikers

In February 2022, a Twitter user datamined Super Mario Strikers to reveal several unused character models. The unused character models include:
• Generic Mario-style humans, and unused Donkey Kong-like characters (most likely suggesting that captains were going to have their own unique sidekicks themed after them).
• An early model for the Medic that resembles Dull Bones from Paper Mario.
• A Security Pianta that only appeared in the pre-release builds of the game.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters

Attachment Within the game's data is an unused animation frame for Karai.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
1
Attachment While New Horizons stands out from earlier games through the rebranding of male/female gender options as "styles," presumably to make the game more accessible for nonbinary audiences, the game still assigns hidden values to them that correspond to a gender binary. Specifically, picking the feminine style results in the player character bearing a dark stripe across their chest, apparently representing a bra. However, this cannot be seen in normal gameplay, as players of both styles wear a plain white tank top if they aren't wearing a shirt or a dress. At the time of the game's initial release, a glitch was present that allowed one to see the bra texture, but it's currently unknown if this can be replicated in later revisions of the game.

Within the data for Chapter 2 are unused animations for both Lancer and Rouxls Kaard where they transform into their respective Light World forms (a Jack of Spades card and a rules card) when entering the player's inventory. In typical gameplay, the associated code for these animations is deactivated, with Lancer & Rouxls simply sliding into Kris' sprite.

The Stone Stomper has two unused pouncing animations that were intended to play during the Stone Stomp tutorial segment in Carnival Carnival. The first one, being a regular pouncing animation and the second one being a cannonball pounce.
F-Zero X

Attachment In the July 2020 Nintendo internal content leak called the "Gigaleak", two pictures were found among early graphics used for F-Zero X of the head of a 1998 Moore Action Collectibles toy of Beavis from the animated series "Beavis and Butt-Head". The second picture is an enlarged version of the first with inverted colors.

Super Mario Sunshine

An unused Goop effect can be found in the game's files that, when Mario jumps into it, will cause him to sink like it was quicksand and take damage. This effect causes Mario to perform unique struggling animations and voice clips that are not found anywhere in the final game, suggesting that this Goop variant was cut late into development.
