Hotline Miami
1
Attachment The protagonist was originally a fat man wearing a pig mask, as seen in the trailer. Unused sprites of this character are still in the files.
Halo 4
1
An unused weapon can be found in the game's files named 'Burst Pistol'.
Terraria
2
Attachment A removed item in the game, called the Zapinator, was used by the developers in testing so they didn't have to worry about enemies. It is the strongest weapon in the game, and also resembles the Zapper, a light gun peripheral for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
1
DLC was planned for the game. Quan Chi and Harley Quinn were the only ones officially confirmed. There were also hints for Kung Lao and Doomsday. Due to Midway's bankruptcy, these were never released.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
1
Attachment Deleted audio for the game reveals that Rockstar Games had intended for the high ranking Forelli Family gang member in Saint Mark's Bistro to be called Marco Forelli. However, as the audio was not used, the character remains un-named.
Mega Man
subdirectory_arrow_right Mega Man Powered Up (Game)
1
Attachment During development, it was once planned the original Mega Man game would have eight Robot Masters instead of the final's six. One of these two scrapped Robot Masters was Bond Man, a robot that would have used glue as his main weapon and when acquired by Mega Man, he could temporally hold enemies in place (a gimmick that would later be used by the final game's Ice Slasher).

The game's PSP remake, Mega Man Powered Up, features two additional Robot Masters: Time Man and Oil Man, whom have no connection to Bond Man. There did exist plans to add Bond Man into Powered Up, but this idea was recalled to keep Bond Man's cult status.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
1
Attachment Sonic was planned to fall asleep if you wait around, but the sprite wasn't used.
Manhunt 2
1
Attachment There was going to be a newspaper and dildo weapon. Only their animations, sounds and HUD icons remain.
Sonic Adventure 2
1
There are also several unused lines, fully voiced by the game's English cast. Notably, some of these lines hint at scenes removed from the game's Last Story, 2 of which featured the President and his secretary, the latter (as well as Amy) telling the President not to give up hope and a scene that would take place shortly after Finalhazard's defeat, where the President says that, as a child, he admired heroes like Sonic and aspired to be as heroic and beloved as him, with the Secretary offering encouragement.

Another set of lines that would have appeared during the ending credits feature Eggman declaring he'll conquer the world without anyone's help, as well as him and Tails agreeing not to hold back next time they meet.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
1
Attachment There's a cancelled Paris level which can be found on the game's PlayStation 2 disc.
Grand Theft Auto IV
1
Attachment Binco from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was meant to appear in the game, but was replaced with the Russian Clothing Shop. You can see it in the "Looking For That Special Someone" trailer.
MySims Agents
2
Attachment According to the game's official website, over 100 characters were planned to appear in the game, yet only 70 are in the final product, suggesting that at least 30 were scrapped. Despite this, only eight of the scrapped characters have leftover files in the game, most notably including Faith Connors, the protagonist of Mirror's Edge, and Isaac Clark, the protagonist of Dead Space. Connors can be seen in the final game as a portrait on the second floor of Boudreaux Mansion, while pre-release press coverage for the game reported that a costume for Clark was planned to be obtained through a side mission later in the mansion, but was removed before release. Designer Brian Kaiser stated that while he couldn't remember the exact reason why they were considered, he believed their planned inclusion was mostly due to marketing. Despite this, they did have ideas for how they could be used in the game, such as having Faith be found on one of the roofs high up in the City, but this never went through. Aside from them, the other leftover character files are for Madison Gray (an original character who was planned to be the twin sister of Evelyn Gray), Odin Revolution, Ray, Sandra and Tad "Flipper" McCaffrey from the original MySims, and Proto-Makoto from MySims Kingdom (whose data suggests that she was planned to be a recruitable agent). Lord Daniel from MySims Kingdom was also planned to be playable at one point according to concept artist Genevieve Tsai, who drew a character icon for him, but was scrapped.

Super Smash Bros. Melee
1
Attachment In earlier versions of the game, the lab in Termina: Great Bay could be entered from both sides, and characters could stand on top of it. This idea was eventually canned and the laboratory was closed and moved to the background. However, the lab still has some textures and models of some pipes inside of it, likely remnants from the initial idea.
Super Mario Sunshine
1
Attachment Early in development, there was going to be an enemy named "Tramplin' Stu", another iteration of Stu in the game. The Tramplin' Stu was supposed to spawn Swoopin' and Strollin' Stu behind it as it walked. To defeat a Tramplin' Stu, you must fill it with water so that the outer shell pops, then you stomp on the eye on top of it. The data for Tramplin' Stu can be found in a test map where it shows up correctly, but without its shell. Tramplin' Stu shows up correctly with its shell when moved to the Delfino plaza map.
Super Mario Sunshine
1
There is unused text in the Japanese version hinting at an unused train system. According to the text, Mario could purchase tickets, get them stamped, and travel to different parts of Isle Delfino, possibly as means of accessing the different levels in the game. Since Pinna Park is one of the listed locations, this implies that either there was a bridge to the island at one point, the train was a subway, or Pinna Park wasn't always located on the tail island of Isle Delfino. Note that the text also hints at three possibly unused areas, named "Battleship Island", "In front of Flame Temple", and "Lighthouse Island".
Halo 4
1
Attachment An unused model of Halo: Reach's Scarab can be found in Spartan Ops Map "Harvester" data files. It wasn't meant to spawn any where in the map at any point.
Super Mario World
1
Attachment The Japanese box art of Super Mario World uses the subtitle, "Super Mario Bros. 4". Even though the subtitle isn't used on the Japanese title screen (or anywhere else) there is a graphic for the subtitle in the game's ROM.
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
1
There is an unused string of text in the game's files which hints that Assassination missions were going to return from Vice City.
