Banjo-Tooie
Banjo-Tooie (2000)

Attachment There was originally a mode called "Bottles' Revenge" which would allow for a second player to antagonize Player 1 in the main game.

In it, the evil spirit of Bottles is able to free himself after being killed by Gruntilda. Whilst this mode is enabled, Player 2 can take control of a nearby enemy to attack Banjo and Kazooie.

While this mode was cut from the game, it can still be accessed through the use of a cheat device. Devil Bottle's dialogue portrait also still appears in the Tower of Tragedy quiz game at the end.

Attachment Originally, the character Shale was meant to be the size of the other golems in the game. However, the developers had trouble with her fitting through doors and originally cut the character entirely. Thanks to a delay in the release schedule, they had some extra time and decided to create a new, smaller character model for Shale. This is referenced in the game as she said she was "chiseled down" by her previous owner.

Attachment At the beginning of the Facility level, players are required to open a door with a computer switch in order to progress to the next area. Unfortunately, the computer can be destroyed, leaving players stuck in the starting area. In order to get around this, the developers added a scientist that eventually rushes to the bathroom. He is carrying keycard A, which will open all of the doors in the level (with the exception of the bottling room, which requires the door decoder).

Attachment Each Nintendo console was developed under a code name, and Nintendo hides the consoles' code name as a 3-4 letter abbreviation on the game or console's box or cartridge. For Example, somewhere above the bar-code on Pikmin is the label "DOL P GPVP" DOL stands for Dolphin, the GameCube's Code name.

The code names and abbreviations are:
(NES) for the Nintendo Entertainment System (acronym).
(SNES) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (acronym).
(DMG) Dot Matrix Game, code name of the Game Boy.
(NUS) Nintendo Ultra 64 (sixty-four), code name of the Nintendo 64.
(CGB) For the Game Boy Color, assumed to mean Color Game Boy.
(AGB) Atlantis, code name of the Game Boy Advance (Atlantis/Advance Game Boy).
(DOL) Dolphin, code name of the Nintendo GameCube.
(NTR) Nitro, code name of the Nintendo DS.
(RVL) Revolution, code name of the Nintendo Wii.
(CTR) For the 3DS, the Codename of the 3DS is still unknown.
(WUP) For the Wii U which may simply stand for 'Wii U Project', though its code name was Cafe.

According to the Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega, earlier drafts of the game's scenario involved three characters known as the '3 Saints'. Not much is known about their original role in the story, other than they were kidnapped by Sephiroth, and that Red XIII knew more about them than the rest of your party. The only Saint mentioned by name was called Gandalf, who was captured by Hojo and "practically crippled" in a Shinra laboratory.

Pokemon Red & Blue were originally supposed to allow players to use badges as an item. When used outside of battle, a looped version of one of the jingles played after Oak evaluates the player's pokedex progress will play. Only the Boulder Badge and Cascade Badge were usable in battle and were able to throw a rock or bait at a Pokemon, like in the Safari Zone.
