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.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is a dramatically different game fromSuper Mario World. Rather than controlling Mario, the player controls Yoshi and has to guide baby Mario to safety. As with its antecedent, it has quite a bit of unused content.
Among the more notable content hidden in the game, there are sprites for baby Mario crawling, some scrapped transformations, and even a dragon coin.
There is even a little bit of art from when the game had a different art style.

Mickey's Speedway USA is a racing title by Rare in a style similar toDiddy Kong Racing, with the obvious exception that the drivers have been replaced with various Disney characters.
Pictured is an unused, rather detailed model of Mickey's head. Internally known as "Mickeys Head", it appears to be an animated version of the image used on the TV in the main menu. It was likely meant to be a title screen or menu.
