The Cutting Room Floor
The Cutting Room Floor is a site dedicated to unearthing and researching unused and cut content from video games. From debug menus, to unused music, graphics, enemies, or levels, many games have content never meant to be seen by anybody but the developers — or even meant for everybody, but cut due to time/budget constraints.
Feel free to browse ourcollection of games and start reading. Up for research? Try looking atsome stubs and see if you can help us out. Just have some faint memory of some unused menu/level you saw years ago but can't remember how to access it? Feel free to start a page with what you saw and we'll take a look. If you want to help keep this site running and help further research into games,feel free to donate.

Pokémon Gold and Silver was under development for nearly four years, starting shortly after theoriginal games completed development. The game was shown off at Spaceworld in 1997 and 1999, with the former bearing little resemblance to the final game. The demos would eventually be leaked.
Pictured is Kotora, one of the many Pokémon present in the Spaceworld '97 demo that would be scrapped by the final. Back sprites for a three-stage evolution of Kotora were found in source code forRed and Blue.
