ITT, we post our favorite secrets, hidden content, and cut content. Basically all the shit that's hidden in games that you wouldn't see on a normal play-through
To start things off, if you look under Piantissimo's mask in Mario Sunshine, you'll see he's actually the Running Man from Ocarina of Time
The head of Tingle's Tower in The Wind Waker was originally some kind of art gallery that you could walk into. But it might not have been his, because Knuckle's statue mentions that he had an art gallery.
This is the only thing found on the disk left of it. The repeating texture is named something like "themaningreen."

Another one from Mario Sunshine
>The game uses bitmaps to keep track of pollution (or goop, if you prefer), with a corresponding model to hold the bitmap. However, many rooms (mostly secret stages) have an unused pollution map, copied from one of the other stages. The rooms use one of three maps, listed below. In addition, the developers left notes and doodles in the bitmaps, which overwrite the texture of the model.

I've heard it was a placeholder graphic and inside joke that didn't get fixed before it shipped.
If you hold down every button on four controllers in Melee and select Marth, you have a 1 in 16 chance of spawning with fucked up textures.

I feel the same way about Kirby 64. Only like 1/4th of that game was completed, and it feels very rushed and unpolished in some aspects too.

>>342812934
Kinda. I think it was explained some point, the dev put it in to see if he could get away with it without anyone noticing. I think it's a bit of a shame that it was explained, it was such a nice, unsettling mystery.

I hope they do a kirby game where power mixing becomes a thing again, it's fun.
I understand having a ton of fucking kirby abilities that can be fused together can be impossible to implement as good design, but who the fuck cares, it's kirby.

Not sure if it qualifies but the halo games have a ton of shit in them that aren't significant if you don't read the books.
Like this room in Halo 2's High Charity mission has these crystal shards hanging on the ceiling. If you read First Strike, you'd know they were pieces of the glass from all the planets the covenant glassed from orbit.
>>342813117
>>342813315
You should read up on all the shit Halo 2 had cut; They had to scrap the entire game 2 years into development and made what got shipped in under 9 months, like 60% of what was in halo 3 was just stuff supposed to be in Halo 2.
It was almost the death of Bungie and the studio almost closed due to how sick and tired all of the devs were by the end of it.
Buster Bros for GB has an interesting error message

>>342813762
>I understand having a ton of fucking kirby abilities that can be fused together can be impossible to implement as good design, but who the fuck cares, it's kirby.
I don't buy this. modern kirby games have needlessly complex movesets for each ability anyways, so 1 ability alone has like 10+ different functions, wheras in crystal shards, each ability did only 1 thing.
You could have like 50+ combinations with 1 function and it'd be as much work as what they did for return to dreamland or triple deluxe, and you never used 99% of the different functions anyways so having only 1 per combination would be fine
>>342813506
And Cory in the House
>>342814065
I would be content with having a Kirby game with all new abilities.
You can have Kirby travel to whatever fucking different place you want with different creatures and no one would give a damn that the game doesn't have fucking wheelies in it.

This, it'd be cool to see Kirby in a game that puts him in a 100% new environment, totally disconnected from most of the repetitive staples of the series. Kinda like what SML/SML2 did for Mario
>>342815296
Only, you know, leaving the yarn and play doh stuff behind. I want to suck some fuckers up.

The logo for Horror Land in Mario Party 2 features a tombstone with "1791" written on it.1791 was the year Mozart supposedly died.

>things that could've been
Oh well. I wouldn't want a history without OoT and the things it brought to the series.
Favorite "lost content" has to be the enormous heap of content that is the HL2 beta leak. It was literally a whole other game. A real pain in the ass to actually make the levels playable in any state, but it's still a blast to browse with the model viewer and cruise around the 100s WIP .vmf files in Hammer. The leak spawned the GabeN meme IIRC
>>342817176
Oh shit I loved the arcade version of Toobin'.
>>342817672
We need that kid to hack Valve again.
>>342817378
>>342817363
Honestly, this is just pathetic. Really.
Exclusive to this shit board is this pathetic meme.
Like, Mozart being alive after all this time. Yeah, right.
Perplexed am I that you'd think a dead composer, if he were alive, would shitpost on a tibetan fingerpaints board.
Mathematically it's just impossible. Mozart died over two hundred years ago. A human can't live that long.
End of discussion.

Can you explain this a bit more? I never read the book, so if you're talking about something from that, then it would make sense since that I would miss the connection.

They forgot to edit this out of Caesar III's manual.

Thanks for reminding me WWHD didn't add a fucking thing.
>>342818740
At the end of the novel, there's a passage that describes a paper thin shadow seen flying away from the hotel before splitting into smaller pieces and eventually disappearing into smoke
The manta ray boss is a paper thin shade that needs to be sprayed to break it into smaller versions of itself until it disappears

>>342820452
What was his name again?
>>342820656
Biggest problem is almost all the cut Wind Waker content was repurposed for later games, so they would've had to come up with something completely new, which wasn't in the cards for WWHD. WWHD was never intended to be a remake, just a quick remaster to tide fans over until BotW and for the developers to get used to HD development.
>>342819706
Gothic and Risen had the same mechanic
Sonic adventure was built on the graves of dead children.
In Twilight Princess HD, in the Temple of Time is a sign with some Hylian jargon on it.
The main message is just alphabet fragments, but the bottom of the frame reads "Jack Kirby Crosby made this" backwards.
Jack Crosby was employed by Tantalus Media as a graphical leader as I recall.

There was a demo disc of Crash Bash for the PS1 that actually contained the entire game's code. You could bypass the code they used to make it a demo version if you had a Gameshark.
They basically gave the game away.

Long ago, Sega Pro included a demo version of Keio Flying Squadron for the Mega CD (aka Sega CD)
The game would end with the first level, but did include the full game on the disc.
Hilariously, you didn't even need a cheat device, there was a level select code intact in the demo so all you had to do was play from the second level to enjoy the full game.
Sega Pro magazine never shared this cheat code in their publication, but their competitors did.
>>342821597
Theres a mid-translation build (what i posted here >>342821615 >>342821472) that has full debugging and a stage select that allows you to pick any of said models
interestingly, the skeletal structure is shared for each of the models, but bonbon is different in that his head is actually the torso, and his pacifier is the head
>>342821702
the entirety of spyro 3's anti piracy measures just bring a smile on my face
There are combat files for all of the original cast of Golden Sun 1 for Golden Sun DS showing that they were at one point meant to all be playable and permanent members, they all have proper level ups with even changed stats at higher levels.

In the second game he also has some half-finished animations for an alternate version of his Final Guardian super where he summons and combines with another robot.
>>342816679

In older titles, they would have TV broadcasts and cutscene sets out of the normal bounds for some games, with the NPCs loaded on the map and all.
What >>342822856 stated is the most likely reason for this body counter, especially if multiple games utilize it.
