The Cutting Room Floor
The Cutting Room Floor er et nettsted dedikert til å oppdage og dokumentere skjult innhold i videospill. Fra feilsøkingsmenyer til ubrukt musikk, grafikk, fiender eller nivåer, mange videospill har innhold aldri ment å bli sett av noen andre enn utviklerne — eller til og med ment for alle, men kutt på grunn av tids-/budsjettbegrensninger.
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. If you want to help keep this site running and help further research into games, feel free to donate.

Sonic Adventure
Developer: Sonic Team
Publisher: Sega
Released: 1998, Dreamcast
Sonic Adventure is Sonic's big step into 3D platforming, but depending on the person you ask, it may either hold up or be a step in the wrong direction. Nevertheless, it is a staple among the Dreamcast library even to this day.
A lot of content was removed during its development, including a giant mechanical dragon. Due to the game being rushed out for the holidays for its Japanese release, there's even more unused content found only in the Japanese release, as it hadn't been cleaned to make way for new content.
There are also many prototypes, the earliest of which contains a good amount of content either changed or deleted for the final version.
