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.

Featured File
Nickelodeon GUTS is a SNES game based on the popular show of the same name, albeit only supporting two players and with underwhelming gameplay.
Complete code for an unused screen featuring a message and photos of the programmers (Boris Remus, Roman Scharnberg, and Christian Gustafsson) can be found in the game's ROM. This screen features the same Mode 7 twisting animation used in the credits sequence.
