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 Maker is every Mario fan's dream come true; the ability to make their own courses. Longtime fans and newcomers can experiment with all possibilities like putting wings on blocks or enemies, and even stacking a ton of Piranha Plants on top of a Firebar. It was so well-received, it even gota 3DS port.
This game contains a LOT of leftovers including items with different graphic styles, early variants of items, and even leftovers of items from an earlier iteration ofSplatoon!
It is quite an interesting read.

Featured File
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.
