has anyone ever found any hidden stuff in a game which didn't make it. For eg. an incomplete stage or extra character.
I would love it if that fake foxman on my site was real.

- I've found unused music tracks sometimes when ripping VGMs.
- If you go past the end of Sonic 1 Green Hill Zone Act 1, you reach a wall, on the other side of which is the ending sequence for the game.
Can't think of more offhand... levels and tiles are big and tend to be heavily optimised for space, ie. unused ones aren't in the ROM. Music can get away with it because it's usually a 16KB block given to the music programmer and he can do what he likes with it.

With quite a lot of hacking :) You'll see when I release my maps in a few weeks.

I found a few unused things in Sonic 2 (SMS). They're listed on my site:
