{{Nihongo|Example}}: The fact that the sign used to hide the hairs in [[Rhythm Tweezers 2|Rhythm Datsumo]] in [[Remix 8 (GBA)|Remix 8]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' also exists, unchanged, in [[Rhythm Tweezers 2|Rhythm Datsumo]], [[Remix 1 (GBA)|Remix 1]], [[Rhythm Datsumo 2]], [[Remix 6 (GBA)|Remix 6]], [[Remix 7 (GBA)|Remix 7]], [[Rhythm Datsumo Tempo Up!|Rhythm Datsumo]] [[File:TempoUpExtra2.png|72px]] and [[Extra Remix]] [[File:TempoUpExtra6.png|72px]], is not worth mentioning. The fact that it was remade and updated with two new variations in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', but goes unused, is.

==Early Ideas==
==Early Builds==
Some ideas may be seriously considered during parts of development and even have concept art drawn for them, but are subsequently abandoned before even being programmed into the game. Some games get completely overhauled during development, resulting in the finished products sharing almost nothing with their earlier incarnations. Other games jump from one console to another, and even if the look or gameplay appears to change very little from one platform to the other, it is still a major shift in the game's development.

A build closer to the final game may have content not present in the data of the final version. Cut content can often be found in press kit material (screenshots, videos, etc.) or in appearances at conventions such as [[wikipedia:Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3]], the [[wikipedia:Consumer Electronics Show|Consumer Electronics Show]] or the [[wikipedia:Tokyo Game Show|Tokyo Game Show]]. Outdated screenshots in the instruction manual and public demos also fit in this grouping.
Since builds are rarely named, they should ideally be named by the time and place they were exposed. For an example, a build shown at the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo should be named "E3 2011 build".


Note that general differences between versions (such as between [[Karate Man Returns!|Karateka]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' and the remake [[Karate Man Returns!]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'') should be presented in the Gameplay section of the main page rather than in the subpage.

{{Nihongo|Example}}: [[List of Scrapped Rhythm Games#Rhythm Heaven Megamix|Monster Tennis]] is an unused game originally planned for the Wii<ref>"Wiiリモコンを振って、ボールを打ってネ。" (Shake the Wii Remote, and hit the ball.) ~ Unused Text for Monster Tennis, ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+ Taikenhan]]''</ref>, and was intended to become a side mode in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' on the 3DS, but was ultimately cut from the final game. Nevertheless, the fact that it was created for the Wii but moved to the 3DS is a marked difference from the original plan.

{{Nihongo|Note}}: Regional differences as big as having an entire game removed (for example, [[Manzai]] being replaced with [[Mr. Upbeat]]) should not be relegated to a subpage. Instead, the removed game should be given a page of its own, and mentioned in relevant lists (such as [[Endless Games]]) while noting that the content is exclusive to one version of the game. Instead, regional differences in the subpage should detail minor changes like a character's design or to compare dubs of sound effects. Names in other languages should remain at the bottom of the main page, while lyrics to [[:Category:Songs|songs]] in other languages shoud remain in tabbers on the main page.

==Order==
==Order==
The general order of information should be as follows: {{Nihongo|Early ideas}}, {{Nihongo|Early builds}}, {{Nihongo|Unused content}}, {{Nihongo|Miscellaneous}}. {{Nihongo|Regional differences}} can be noted next to any unused content relevant to them, or after everything else. If the subject appears in multiple games, ideally all of the information for one game should be grouped together, then start the order for the next game it appears in.
