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 Bros. 3 was the last main-series Mario game released on the NES. The game introduced such beloved concepts as the Koopa Kids, Super Leaves, and Tanooki Suits.
Fifteen unused levels are tucked away in the game, only accessible through codes and hacking. Along with those levels are unused enemies, graphics, stage palettes, and two unused minigames. There's even a debug menu!
And in addition to all of that unused content, there are a variety of differences between the Japanese and International versions of the game. The two international revisions contain some interesting differences, too! There's a lot to know aboutSuper Mario Bros. 3.

Space Quest IV has Roger Wilco traveling back and forth through time, while also being hunted down by Sludge Vohaul and his many henchmen.
Included in the CD-ROM version is an additional room that is inaccessible, created as something of an in-joke. The room contains many references to the legally dubious things that landed Sierra in hot water.
