1* DummiedOut:
2** [[http://goldensunwiki.net/List_of_unacquirable_Psynergy Various Psynergy]] that have no effect outside of the debug room can be obtained via cheating. After beating the FinalBoss in the second game, there is a brief sequence where you walk around the final town, Prox; normally, you don't have access to the Mind Read Psynergy at this point (as the two party members with it aren't in the party at this point), but if you hack to obtain it, there are major {{Sequel Hook}}s in the Mind Read "conversations" seen [[http://kprs.laronmi.net/taow/miscellaneous/mindread/mindread.htm here]] (obviously spoilers are contained within).
3** [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] is among the unused sprites.
4** Nereid's summon sequence in the demo trailers was later scrapped in the final product.
5* {{Feelies}}: Each game comes with a map of the game world, and a character chart on the flipside
6* MovedToTheNextConsole: Camelot originally planned the game for the Platform/Nintendo64; however, due to its development starting late in that console's life, they decided to move it to the Platform/GameBoyAdvance.
7* UrbanLegendOfZelda:
8** Minor compared to several other examples of this trope, but there were long-running jokes that managed to fool a few poor newbies, such as getting Feizhi and Kraden to join the party (with Kraden being an incredibly powerful mage in the "Philosopher" class) and the infamous [[https://goldensunwiki.net/wiki/Fandom:Wheat_Sword Wheat Sword]].
9** "Golden Sun 3" itself was an April Fools' joke for several years, complete with several hoax box covers. So fans found it a little hard to believe when "[[VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn Golden Sun DS]]" really was announced at E3 2009.
10* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
11** The two Platform/GameBoyAdvance games, ''Golden Sun: The Broken Seal'' and ''Golden Sun: The Lost Age'' were originally planned to be one whole game, but due to the limits of the cartridge space, the game had to be divided into two separate games.
12** There are a few hints in the files, particularly in the order of portraits, that suggest Alex was to be the final party member in the second game and was replaced by Piers. In this case, Alex's remark about being replaced is a subtle DevelopmentGag.
