Cut Content of Power Master 1: A Strange Journey

This is a list of all the content that didn't make it into the final game of Power Master 1: A Strange Journey.

Characters

Originally, the four main characters could have their roles swapped, i.e. Helen could be the digger from Uora. In the final game, only the main hero character can be swapped, with Stephan taking the open role. Also, the player could originally only recruit the hero and the warrior of Bora.
Additionally, none of the side-quest characters had names. In the notebook, they appear to be simple Generic Characters with a "!" above them, along with a quest number.
A character based on Geoffrey Bodine was also supposed to appear in more areas than just Yora Yore, though he was ultimately removed from the other areas.
Pam was originally created to be a man.

• 

  A character, later Rob, with an "11!" over him.

Areas

Bora Building and Lora Grotto had different layouts. In Bora Building, the player had to find Keys in order to open doors and progress. Lora Grotto had players push boulders on to switches.
In Cora Castle, the player was originally supposed to fight Doppel in the room where The Three Mages are fought, and The Three Mages were fought in the room were Danger's copy is now fought.
The Wondering Souls in Eora Dungeon were originally fought in Eora Everlasting, but were moved to the Dungeon so players could focus more on the maze itself.
Gora Graveyard had less graves in it and a different puzzle was present on the third floor of Gora Mansion.
Iora Cavern had cyclones.
Kora Kingdom had a large wall, which prevented the player from exploring the area.
An Auction House was placed in Pora. Though it is not accessible, the house still exists in the game's code.
The minecart in Qora Quarry was originally usable, meant to be used to break down barriers.
Sora Sky and Sora Sky Towers' area sizes were much smaller, and the player had to use Books of Water and Wind to blow clouds around.
Some structures still remained in the town of Vora, including a bed the player could sleep in.
The entirety of Wora's dungeon, called "Wora Tidal Pool", was cut, along with its boss, a rock-like creature named Sunk. Similarly, Xora's original dungeon was cut, which was based on playing large instruments. Xora's dungeon ultimately became Xora Xeno and Xora Spaceship.
Doppel's Dimension had a completely different layout, resembling more like a platforming stage.

Maps get deleted throughout development and a new one takes its place on occasion, with the new map having the ID of the deleted map, starting in chronological order. Though the statistic leaves a gap of five missing maps, maps 283 through 289 are missing, which is a gap of seven maps.
