Rocko from Rocko's Modern Life was intended to appear as a playable character in Nicktoons MLB but was scrapped for unknown reasons, with the only remnants of his appearance being his skeleton and a small black square labeled as his texture. Rocko's Modern Life is the only Nickelodeon show without a playable character to be referenced in the opening copyright credits.

Alongside Garfield, Rocksteady from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was originally going to be one of the two post-launch playable fighters in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl - notably without his partner-in-crime Bebop, much like Michelangelo and Leonardo's inclusion without Raphael and Donatello. He was ultimately replaced by Shredder, and all that remained of his inclusion at launch was a placeholder stock image and the codename "hunter".

Rocksteady would eventually become playable in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2.

Big Bumpin' was originally an adaptation of the Sumo minigame from Fuzion Frenzy, where characters would push one another around inside caged metal zorb balls. However, Burger King wanted all of the mascot characters to be visible in gameplay, leading to the game being reworked into a dodgems game as you could see the characters' heads.

Traveler's Tales had intended to slide a Christian Easter egg into Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!, inserting a sticker on a suitcase reading "JOHN 3:16", a citation for a Bible verse reading:

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life"

When Disney saw it, they insisted that it be removed, so in the final game the sticker simply reads "NY CITY".

Attachment An unused battle model of Edelgard's Hegemon Husk exists within the data of Three Hopes, as seen with the head that now matches her Three Hopes design it is an original model made for this game.

As the cutscenes in the game are all pre-rendered, and that is the only time we see Hegemon Edelgard in Three Hopes, it is speculated that the seen where she transforms may originally have been a boss fight.

Despite being playable in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Gilbert, Anna, Cyril, Hanneman, and Alois all have recruitment flags (the internal value which tells the game if the unit is in your army or not). They lack any skills or data assigned to them however and trying to deploy these units or use them in battle with crash the game.

Interestingly, Gibert is not referred to by his real name nor is he sorted to be with Kingdom characters despite his role in the Three Hopes story. However Alois is always sorted to be next to Jeralt and Byleth in the menu, rather than with the Church like in Three Houses.

Attachment Within the game, there exists a model of a generic Hero class found in the training grounds in the later half of the game, and class data for an unused Hero class exists within the game that can be loaded in.

It uses the generic attacks of the 'Mercenary' Class but lacks the animations for it's class action despite having 2 meters for it, suggesting that it was meant to be a promotion for the class rather than Swordmaster being the sole promotion to Mercenary.

War Monk, Dark Flier, and Valkyrie also exist within the game's code, but they're in an extremely unfinished state as they lack a Sprite, Model, Text, and any functional abilities. They do however have Class Stat bonuses assigned to them, hinting that at one point they were considered to be brought back.

Note: it is speculated due to Holst's in-game lore and his character design that he was originally designed to canonically be in the Hero class and not the Swordmaster class like he is in the final game, this is however just speculation.

Attachment Pac-Man World Rally was originally going to be based on the works of famed psychedelic hot rod cartoonist Stanley Mouse. Fygar's kart is a leftover from this version of the project, hence why it doesn't fit the aesthetic style of the other karts and isn't directly based on the Dig Dug franchise.

Attachment Inside the prototype Xbox version of Pac-Man World Rally, files pertaining to Snoopy from Peanuts and a vehicle for him can be found. While the initial discovery of these files left a lot of mystery over whether they were leftovers from another project or a scrapped crossover, a concept image from World Rally would emerge shortly after revealing Snoopy was indeed planned as a crossover racer.

Smart Bomb Interactive, the developers of Pac-Man World Rally, worked on the game Snoopy vs. the Red Baron around the same time, and a few shared files from that game including placeholder cutscene dialogue can also be found in Pac-Man World Rally's data.

Despite Floigan Bros. being initially developed prior to the Dreamcast's release in 1999 (of which the main characters Moigle and Hoigle made cameos in the Dreamcast advertising campaign "It's Thinking"), and then-President of SEGA's American division Bernie Stolar saying that "Floigan will do for SEGA what Mario did for Nintendo", the game would go through developmental setbacks until finally releasing on July 30, 2001, months after SEGA ceased production on SEGA Dreamcast.

Because of this late release window, several pieces of monthly on-disc DLC for the game, as well as the concept of exchanging Moigles through the Dreamcast VMU, were left on the cutting room floor.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, when Banjo either runs with the Talon Trot or uses his down special Grenade Egg, a flap on the bottom of Banjo’s backpack opens up to use said move. According to Steve Mayles (the original character designer for Banjo & Kazooie) on Twitter, this is a concept that he wanted to initially use in the original Banjo-Kazooie, but limitations of the Nintendo 64 prevented it.

Attachment In the European version of The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland for Game Boy Color, there is a friendly message to hackers:

Hello There Pilgrim...

If you have hacked this ROM, you no doubt are reading
this text. This game is basically a 2 Meg. Game. However,
Nintendo, in their infinite wisdom, has decreed that the
smallest ROM they will produce for the Gameboy Color is
8 Meg. -- Now, what to put in that empty 6 Meg.? So, the
developers of the game decided to put .GIF pictures of
themselves into the game. Why not? Might as well fill the
void with something entertaining. See if you can retrieve
them from this ROM. If you do, you win the prize. Please
call (609) 466-2092 (in New Jersey, USA) if you have been
able to view the two .GIF pictures, located in the rest of
the upper 6 Megs of this ROM. We will have a nice reward
for you...

Good Luck!

Roger W. Amidon
September 28, 2000

The described graphics do indeed exist within the game code. It is unknown who the first person to discover the images were, or if and how they were rewarded. Sadly, Roger W. Amidon has since passed away.
