Gamers! 'Demon's Crest' for the SNES apparently had a stage that was entirely scrapped. Knowing Capcom's knack for hiding Easter eggs, it could be that the stage still exists within the game's code. Anyone down for a group effort to comb through the ROM for clues? Could be our own little treasure hunt!

I'm no expert at combing through ROMs but I am a huuuge fan of Demon's Crest. If there's a guide on what to do or how to help, count me in! I've always wanted to find something like an easter egg or lost content. Super cool idea!

LOL, good luck with your digital archaeology, Indy. You'll probably just find a bunch of code gibberish and a waste of time. Hidden stages in games from the '90s, what's next? Secret levels in Pong?

Data miner here. First things first, we'll need to look at tilesets, unused sprites, and potentially orphaned code that doesn't link anywhere. Capcom did have a tendency to leave stuff in their game ROMs. I've got some tools that could be useful. Mapping out memory addresses that contain game graphic data would be a start. And, of course, we'll need multiple pairs of eyes to catch something that doesn't belong. A group effort could work wonders.

I've seen some unused music tracks in the past for Demon's Crest. Makes you wonder what other treasures are buried in there. Not savvy with coding, but if someone streams their search or needs a hand with some legwork, I'm game!

The mysterious lost level of Demon's Crest is totally a legend, but I'm up for the challenge. I’ve got some background in game dev and I can help with deciphering code or looking at sprite sheets. Let's set up a Discord or something to coordinate!

Everyone's always after these mythical bits of gaming history. I'll believe it when I see it, but hey, nothing wrong with a bit of fun, right? I guess I could take a peek; I've poked around in hex editors before. But don't get your hopes up too much, the devs probably scrapped it for a reason.

Just adding to the previous comments, looking into Capcom's history of game development during the SNES era might give us clues. Remember, they reused assets across multiple games sometimes. If we identify any 'orphan' assets that don't appear in-game, we could be onto something. The stage might be lost, but elements of it could've been recycled, giving us a trail to follow.
Heard about this lost stage a while back, I know some peeps were saying it could be in there somewhere. I'm down to dig into the game's code. Got a buddy who's good with this kind of thing, might be able to spot if they left any assets in.
