Many games out there have some sort of debugging functions. Whether it's just left over text from debugging features that were removed, or full fledged menus for testing the games.

Here's some articles with notable examples:

Ocarina of Time: Master Quest (N64 Debug ROM)

Final Fantasy VII Debug Room

Pokémon Ruby: German Debug Version

To start off, I've been looking into the debug menus from the Tony Hawk games on sixth gen consoles. It seems that many of them share a similar layout and options, being based on the same engine. So far I've been able to access the debug menus for Tony Hawk's American Wasteland and Underground 2 in the PS2 versions of the game.

This is not my video, but here's the same debug menu as well as other unused content found in the Xbox version of THUG2:

Edit:

I should mention, if you want to check out the debug menu on the NTSC version of THUG2 using PCSX2, you can create a .pnach file inside the cheats folder with the name 4F0010A7.pnach. Once this is done, paste the following lines into the file:

gametitle=Tony Hawk's Underground 2
comment=Blank

patch=1,EE,208962b4,extended,0564ae31

In the emulator, enable cheats, and boot the game. The code will replace the Display Options menu in settings with Debug Cheats, which itself is a submenu of the full debug menu.

URIs must be properly escaped, they must not contain unescaped
characters below U+0021 including the space character and not
above U+007E. Tidy escapes the URI for you as recommended by
HTML 4.01 section B.2.1 and XML 1.0 section 4.2.2. Some user agents
use another algorithm to escape such URIs and some server-sided
scripts depend on that. If you want to depend on that, you must
escape the URI on your own. For more information please refer to
http://www.w3.org/International/O-URL-and-ident.html

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
