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 our collection of games and start reading. Up for research? Try looking at some 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.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Released: 1995, Super Nintendo
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is a dramatically different game from Super Mario World. Rather than controlling Mario, the player controls Yoshi and has to guide baby Mario to safety. As with its antecedent, it has quite a bit of unused content.
Among the more notable content hidden in the game, there are sprites for baby Mario crawling, some scrapped transformations, and even a dragon coin.
There is even a little bit of art from when the game had a different art style.
