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.

Released: 1997,PlayStation
SaGa Frontier is the seventh game in Square's long-runningSaGa series. It's an open-ended RPG with seven separate scenarios, and unfortunately, a sharp learning curve and some seriously uneven difficulty, which caused many people to quit playing before really getting into it. Being one of the first traditional RPGs after the release of the wildly-successfulFinal Fantasy VII probably didn't help its poor early reputation.
Deadlines absolutely mauled this game, with a whole lot of things being left unused and/or unfinished, from areas, to skills, to songs, to artwork, all the way to an entirechapter. There's also a small debug room with a few nice features... and many, many mysteries waiting to be solved.

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.
