Unused Rooms
The demo is follows the same room order as the E3 demo, which is completely different than the final game. This is most likely just for the demo and not signs of an older design, as room numbers are out of order and videos of the game dating before the demo are in the final order. The available demo ends whenever you enter a light portal in "Name of Map that I can't remember goes here", while the E3 demo goes through that portal and continues on to Dark Samus. Because of this, there are 7 rooms that go unused in the demo. The rooms are Biostorage Station, Security Station A, Bioenergy Production, Ventilation Area B, Save Station C, Sand Processing, and Main Reactor. Defeating Dark Samus in Main Reactor causes the game to crash.

Cinematic Placeholder
By changing the room state of Sand Processing from the default, it is possible to activate an unfinished cutscene, which drains the sand from the room to allow access to a missile upgrade.

After completing the demo, it plays a different version of the "Mission Final" screen. The music is brighter, and in place of the completion percentage and time it only says "Mission Complete".

Removed Weapons
The Dark Bomb combines the power of the Dark Beam with that of the Power Bomb.

When in Morph Ball Mode, [C-Right] to select the Dark Beam, then press [Y] to drop a Dark Bomb.

Samus's Notes: Dark Bombs release a field of dark matter tendrils when they detonate. These tendrils can entangle and hinder enemies.

Dark Bombs are not effective against Denzium.

The Light Bomb combines the power of the Light Beam with that of the Power Bomb.

When in Morph Ball Mode, press [C-Left] to select the Light Beam, then press [Y] to drop a Light Bomb.

Samus's Notes Light Bombs do not detonate on release. They explode when an enemy enters their detection radius, or when another Light Bomb goes off.

Light Bomb explosions are white-hot, and can set enemies on fire.

The brilliance of Light Bomb explosions can blind and stun Dark creatures.

The Light Bomb is not effective against Denzium.

The Annihilator Bomb is a potent explosive, combining the Power Bomb with the energies of the Light and Dark Beams.

When in Morph Ball Mode, press [C-Down]; to select the Annihilator Beam, then press [Y] to drop an Annihilator Bomb.

Samus's Notes: When an Annihilator Bomb detonates, it emits a cloud of Light and Dark energy particles. These deadly particles will seek all enemies within a radius.

The Annihilator Bomb is not effective against Denzium.

It seems that in addition to beam charge combos, there were at one point multiple beam bomb combos. There are particle effects for the bombs as well.

The Imploder is the Annihilator Charge Combo. It sends a blast of entangling dark matter, which then implodes in a burst of whitehot energy.

Samus's Notes: Imploder costs 10 Missiles to fire, along with Light and Dark ammo.

The Imploder is most effective against multiple targets in an area.

The Imploder was an earlier Annihilator Charge Combo, which was replaced by the Sonic Boom. The description for it is different from the Sonic Boom, where the Sonic Boom would instantly travel to its target and create an effect looking like a shattered pane of glass. It is worth noting that the combo costs 10 dark and light beam ammo as well. The Sunburst and Darkburst both cost the respective 10 dark or light beam ammo, as well as 10 missiles. The final game requires 5 missiles and 30 of the corresponding ammo type.

Somehow, the tracks from the Thardus and Ridley fights made it onto the disc from Metroid Prime. In the multiplayer files there is a string that references the usage of two tracks from Metroid Prime.

Early Luminoth Texture
An E3 trailer shows a Luminoth featuring this "dark" Luminoth texture. Although this texture exists, there is no model present in the demo. It has been specifically stated that this was an older design.

Early Annihilator Charge Beam
Gyu5OaynGFU It seems that at some point, the Annihilator Beam's charge shot was changed. It's possible it was too similar to the Light Beam's charge shot or was too hard on the hardware, as it causes a significant amount of lag.

Strange Boostball Attack
Cp9VFU62YlU As an extra function of having the Boost Ball, targeting an enemy close to you and morphing causes Samus to instantly morph and shoot towards the enemy. Although you do have to be close to an enemy, it made it possible to reach higher ledges that should normally be inaccessible and would be easily exploitable. This may have been why it was removed.

Removed Enemies
Morphology: Dark Sporb Darkling possessed carnivorous plant. Symbiotic merger enhances power of this enemy. Weakness to dark energy gone, replaced by weakness to light energy. Eager to possess new bioforms, a number of darklings seized the chance to take the thorny Sporb as a host. It has proven to be a good match, as Sporb and Ing have similar temperaments. The Dark Sporb loses its weakness to dark energy, gaining a vulnerablity to pure light energy instead.

Morphology: Triclops Hard-shelled creature with powerful jaws. Uses mandibles to grab small objects. Target is vulnerable to concussive blasts. The Triclops is a hunter-gatherer. It collects small creatures and bits of foodstuff, then deposits them elsewhere for later consumption. The hard tripartite mandibles it uses to move earth and rock are quite strong and difficult to escape once ensnared.

Morphology: Dark Triclops Darkling possessed hunter-gatherer. Symbiotic possession increases target durability. Heavy yield light-based attacks are recommended when engaging target. The small stature and earthmoving power of a Triclops makes it a valuable infiltration agent for the Ing. Already quite durable, the addition of an Ing parasite makes the creature even harder to destroy.

Mechanism: Ingkiller Rogue Termination drone. Powerful security unit armed with beam weapons. Target limbs to disable them and damage the unit. The Ingkiller was designed to protect points of entry within the Luminoth Fortress from the Ing; it now seeks to eliminate all living things. Its four attack limbs can be disabled, forcing it to use a secondary beam attack to defend itself. The beam system requires sensor updates to function; a vulnerable detection unit will extend periodically to search for targets. Destroy it to take the beam offline.

Morphology: Chykka Swimmer Swimming Insectoid Guardian. Target has entered a state of frenzy. Evasive action recommended. The Chykka has been temporarily disabled by your attacks. Evasive action recommended. Target has become enraged and entered a state of frenzy. Collision-based attacks are likely.

Morphology: Dark Aerotrooper Darkling possessed airborne Pirates. Symbiotic possession brings more strength and power. Target is susceptible to light-based attacks. The vicious Aerotroopers are easily possessed by darklings, who feed off of their cruel natures. Dark Aerotroopers relish their speed and power, often losing themselves in the thrill of the hunt. The added strength gained from possession makes them more confident and aggressive in battle, making an already difficult opponent that much harder to vanquish.

Morphology: Dark Shriekbat Darkling cavern dweller. Presence of symbiote increases durability of target. Use high-damage or light-based attacks when targeting this creature. Darkling Shriekbats prefer the cooler climates found on Dark Aether, gaining strength from the lack of pure light and heat. Though more durable, they still explode on impact when performing an assault run on an enemy.

Morphology: Kenobite Wall-walking hunter-gatherer Wall-crawling telekinetic; uses its power to acccurately guide acidic projectiles at enemies. Vulnerable to concussive blasts. The Kenobite prowls tunnels and caverns, using telekinesis to keep itself attached to the walls and ceilings. In combat, it will fire acid-filled globes, guiding them telekinetically toward the target. The creature is quite strong, and can only be dislodged by concussive blasts. Dying Kenobites explode in a burst of acidic fluids, a last strike at their victorious foe.

Morphology: Zoomer Armored nomadic scavenger. Spines on creature can cause minor damage. Shell vulnerable to attack from multiple weapon systems. A basic nerve center located directly above the Zoomer's mandibles detects nutrients. Sharp spines protect it from casual predators, but the lack of a reinforced carapace makes the Zoomer vulnerable to any indirect attacks.

Early Names
It seems that all of the Guardians were originally going to have names based on the enemies they originated from. Although the Guardian names are more descriptive there is something special about the Grenchgrappler...
