Yeah, and the fake user business is even worse!

• Beta objects include a different, really-cool-looking heart container and - get this - a fully-functional Arwing. It flies around and shoots at you, and you can kill it with the Boomerang which blows it up. It even has a shadow. I'm guessing it was used as a test object.
  
• CRAPLOADS of beta maps and text, including 64DD-related text.
  
• It's possible (not sure how) to mark a save file as requiring a 64DD disk. All this seems to do, however, is add an icon.
  
• Debugging features include a highly-detailed display of CPU usage, graphic effects, etc, and an error report screen that is displayed when the game crashes.
  

1. Crash the game, best done via Gameshark. A yellow line will appear in the top left corner. (If no line appears, you can't view the error report.)
   
2. Press the following buttons:
   1: L button + R button + Z button
   2: Control Pad Up + C-Down
   3: C-Up + Control Pad Down
   4: Control Pad Left + C-Left
   5: C-Right + Control Pad Right
   6: A button + B button + Start button
   You have to press and hold each button in order, then release them all. For example, in step 1, hold L, then press R while still holding L, then press Z while still holding L+R. Then for step 2, release all the buttons and press Up, then press C-Down while still holding Up, etc.

• Includes a sound effect from Zelda

• Some beta maps, at least one fully functional (though incomplete)
  
• Various beta text
  
• A colour debugger
  
• Some other debug stuff I haven't figured out (may not be fully functional)
  
• Crystal has most of the maps and menus for the cell phone link (the menus are almost fully functional but crash in some places; most aren't translated and there's a few spelling mistakes. )
  
• Crystal also still contains the intro sequence, music and all, from G/S. (Unverified: The music is there, but I have yet to find the actual intro. I haven't worked with Crystal much.)
  
• 'BIRD' is still a valid type, as it was in R/B. In R/B it appears to have been created early in development, then replaced with FLYING but never actually removed. (Missingno is BIRD in R/B, which may or may not be intentional.) G/S were (most likely given the code similarities) built from R/B sourcecode, and this was never removed.

• Missingno - though generally regarded to be a glitch, analysis shows that in fact, this is most likely a test Pokémon created early in development. It glitches because certain things such as its image were never implemented. (No need once they got real Pokémon working.) The actual access method, however, is purely a glitch, or more specifically, a programming oversight. I won't go into details because I'm sure not many people care.

• In addition to the standard 50/100/150cc modes, there is an unused Super Easy mode. This mode appears to be identical to 50cc except that the AI drives very slowly.
  
• There is debug menu on the title screen which can be used to start a race with any parameters (including an unused 2-player mode where the screens are split vertically), and if you press Down a few times, a secret option appears that gives you Gold trophies in every cup. Also, you can change the sound mode to 'xxx', which shows up blank in the Options menu - not sure what this does.
  
• Other debugging features include a CPU usage display, 'mile markers' (not actual scale miles) and a compass, and the ability to jump to lap 3 at any time.

• Debugging features include a level select, CPU status display, and readout of Mario's speed, status, and angle and the game's memory usage. There is also a lot of debug text in the ROM which was probably intended to be printed to some sort of console.

• A test map, with all the characters - even Wizpig - driving around aimlessly.
  
• Although only English and French can be selected, German text is in the ROM too, as well as 'Japanese'. The Japanese language option does not contain Japanese text, but rather, every piece of text just says "Japanese". Most likely this is because the Japanese fonts were removed.
  
• Other beta text, in each language.
  
• Leftover debug cheats that are actually accessible without a Gameshark!
  
  • EOLAOBFENRLONE - Balloons appear in various places in Adventure mode.
    
  • DODGYROMMER - Display ROM checksum
    
  • EPC - Activate error reporting (if the game crashes, an error report is displayed next time it starts up)
  
  Also, there are 3 more that can only be used via Gameshark: Mirrored Tracks, High Speed Racing, and Print Coords. (Their codes contain numbers and are thus unenterable.) Mirrored Tracks does the same as Adventure 2. High Speed Racing, unfortunately, doesn't seem to do anything. Print Coords displays your location on the screen. Also, Control TT and Control Drumstick are cheats (also with numbers in them) - strangely enough they're added to the cheat list when you unlock these characters, and can be turned on and off.

I wonder what possibly makes the hiding of useful functions attractive to program coders. If I were designing a program to be used to the fullest extent in making good hacks, I would certainly not hide good features. This is just bizarre.

it might be hidden because it's experimental. I've hidden experimental features in my programs before.

Problem is, some bots are naughty and keep loading old, nonexistant thread pages.

(if you'dlike to create a meta tag to stuff into the calendar, please, go on.)
