Attachment Game & Watch Gallery 3 has a crude unused placeholder title screen with Wiggler on it. This already unused piece of content itself has unused sprites of its own that don't show up when the screen is activated - including Fly Guys, flowers, a crocodile, sleeping men, and - very morbidly - Mario and Luigi roasting a whole rotisserie Pikachu.

Dottori-kun
Dottori-kun (1991)
subdirectory_arrow_right Head On (Game), Arcade (Platform)
▲

▼
Dottori-Kun, a 1991 demake of Sega's 1979 maze game Head-On, was created not to be played, but rather as a legal loophole around Japan's Electrical Appliance and Material Control Law which claimed that all arcade machines must contain a game when sold. Dottori-Kun allowed Sega to sell generic Astro City arcade machines which the arcade owner could swap the contents of at their leisure, and included test features to ensure the machine worked properly before installing a proper game. The game did not support coin insertion, and therefore was not a viable option for arcades even if an owner believed there was an audience for its simplistic gameplay and graphics, leading to the board being scrapped most of the time.

The SNES versions of Beethoven: The Ultimate Canine Caper! and Tom & Jerry both contain a dummy text file from the SNES version of The Hunt for Red October.

IN NOVEMBER OF 1984, SHORTLY BEFORE GORBACHEV CAME TO POWER,
A TYPHOON- CLASS SOVIET SUB SURFACED JUST SOUTH OF THE GRAND BANKS.
IT THEN SANK IN DEEP WATER, APPARENTLY SUFFERING A RADIATION PROBLEM.
UNCONFIRMED REPORTS INDICATED SOME OF THE CREW WERE RESCUED.
BUT ACCORDING TO REPEATED STATEMENTS BY BOTH SOVIET AND AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS,
NOTHING OF WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE... ...EVER HAPPENED.

Attachment If the player manages to scan the projectiles that the Omega Pirate fires, the description will consist of placeholder text that reads "This is an Elite Space Pirate" on the first page and "Elite Space Pirate description 3" on the second. Not only does the later Japanese release retain this oversight, but it also introduces a second one, in that the placeholder text is still in English.

Attachment On the early releases of the game, Sonia appears on a playing card representing the Queen of Diamonds which can be spotted on the ground of the race track, Roulette Road. Sonia's head was taken from a piece of fan art from DeviantArt drawn by a user formerly known as Lightning_duchess (now RianaLD). Steve Lycett, Game director commented on the cameo by saying; "We take these things seriously at Sumo and will be contacting the original artist directly to offer our sincere apologies to her, this was entirely unintentional. Not much else I can really add!" This image was only supposed to be used as a placeholder.
