* In ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet'', originally the prizes were going to be collected from Prize ''Eggs'', not Prize Bubbles. There's still one glaringly obvious remnant of this throughout the series, however; upon collecting every Prize Bubble in a level (and when receiving prizes from the scoreboard for collecting every prize, if applicable), the game plays a cock-a-doodle-doo sound, which is completely random for Prize Bubbles but would've made perfect sense for Prize Eggs.

*** The [=OmniWrench=] 8000 is referenced multiple times throughout the game. It's namedropped in the Move List, it appears in images there as well as in pictures for Galactic Ranger missions and challenges in both the VR arena and Annihilation Nation, and it's even in the AttractMode. The 8000 basically appears everywhere in the game except for the actual gameplay, because in an aversion of BagOfSpilling, Ratchet begins this game with the [=OmniWrench=] ''12000'' he got on the Aranos revisit in the previous game, and at no point in ''UYA'' is he ever given the chance to use the original.
*** The Jackpot Crate's [[https://tcrf.net/File:Pcsx2_2015-12-27_18-11-01-21.png original design]] was yellow with black trim and a silhouette of a pot of gold on it, while the crate in the final game is green with black trim and an icon of a multiplication sign and a bolt. Despite this, the original design still appears as the icon for the jackpot on the slot machines in Holostar Studios.
*** One of the Annihilation Nation announcer's random lines mentions a Florana demolition derby, which would've made more sense had the Turboslider racetrack there come to fruition instead of being left on the cutting room floor (and in the Insomniac Museum).
*** The docks at Daxx have some islands with crates and cover on them. It's easy to dismiss as just flavorful design, but once you enter the Insomniac Museum and discover the scrapped "crate-throwing monkey" enemy that was meant to appear on Daxx, it becomes abundantly clear that this setup was designed around them.

** ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankIntoTheNexus'' was slated to be a cross-platform release on Platform/PlayStation3 and Platform/PlayStationVita, but ultimately only the former game released. Despite this, the game still has the same Cloud Save functionality that was used to transfer saves between the two platforms, and looking at its trophy list on platforms that show where a game is playable, like the Vita or Platform/PlayStation4, reveals that the Vita is still listed there alongside the [=PS3=], even though the game never released on the handheld.

** In early drafts of the show, the idea for Krusty was that he was an alter-ego for Homer--this was meant to be ironic, since Bart has no respect for Homer but reveres Krusty like a god, creating a kind of HatesMySecretIdentity situation. However, the creators realized that this would be too complicated to work with, and dropped the idea in favor of making the two separate characters. Nonetheless, it was far enough along to leak into a lot of Krusty's character: most notably, his status as an IdenticalStranger, something the series acknowledged, and his first appearance, where Krusty strangles Bart while shouting "Why, you little--."

* ''Anime/ChargemanKen'': The main reason Ken is so bloodthirsty towards the Juralians is because he's an {{expy}} of Knack Production's prior protagonist, Kantaro of ''Anime/{{Astroganger}}''. Kantaro hated the Blaster alien race for killing his mother as well as repeatedly attacking earth, and swore to kill them all as revenge. His father Dr. Hoshi often told him to calm down and assured him there were good Blasters amongst the bad ones. But Ken has no such motive, so this makes him come across as needlessly brutal towards his enemies, which isn't helped by the episodes being too short (5-10 minutes runtime) to explore his backstory.

%%%%* The Creator/FourKidsEntertainment dub of ''Anime/SonicX'', in their usual desperation to NeverSayDie, rewrites the fates of Maria and the rest of the ARK science team to have them simply being detained rather than [[HeKnowsTooMuch murdered to cover up Gerald Robotnik's illegal research]]. They did not, however, bother to similarly rewrite the sequence where we meet the man who killed Maria, and as a result, said character is still portrayed as a broken, guilt-ridden ShellShockedVeteran despite having no longer done anything especially evil or traumatic, making him look like a total loser who breaks down sobbing over the memory of [[PokeThePoodle escorting a young girl off a space station]] (in the original, he suffers from PTSD from the memory of ''gunning her down'' on his commander's orders and watching the rest of the science team being killed by his comrades).
