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.

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was a huge step up fromits predecessor, but it wasn't a huge financial success by any means thanks to it being a 2D platformer released at a time when 3D games were all the rage. However, it did gain a cult following and has become something of a platforming classic for some PC gamers.
It also has a fair amount of hidden content lying within, ranging from unused bosses to several unused graphics.

Nemo is a 1990 action-platformer based on the 1989 movie based on the 1905 comic strip.
Pictured is one of two levels cut from the game, but remains intact in the final game. This is a vehicle level where the player rides on a goat car, based on the musical part of the movie where Nemo and company used that same transport. At the end of the level, the player fights against a giant mantis.
