Hmmm...
To do:
Updates have been released that add things, document unused things in those updates.

It’s true to its name.

Debug Menu

Hmmm...
To do:
Record Unit Test demonstration.

There is debug menu that can be enabled using UnityExplorer.

The menu is localized in several languages.

"Infinite Lives" disables all damage.

"Complete Game" unlocks all story mode chapters and every song in the playlist.

"Complete All Achievements" Unlocks all Steam achievements and beats every challenge.

"Unit test" launches automatic TAS-like playthough of selected game mode with all player shapes.

"FPS" and "All Debug Screens" options are not coded in-game.

Debug Function

When forcing the game to execute the "DEBUG_randomTest" function while in game it will display this screen.

Unused Text

On unknown circumstances, the game can crash at the very end of a Challenge run's song, and the special rewards given to players will be instead replaced by default text, its title being "Ribbon's name" and the subtitle "ribbon description".

TEST

Just a simple test message.

Play Party mode for 15 minutes straight

Seems like an unused challenge (How would playing Party Mode be a challenge?)

This track is already completed! 
Retry the whole track anyway?

Probably meant for Story Mode.

Oops...

Some kind of error message.

Playlist is empty!
Add some tracks in your playlist!

You can't load an empty playlist, so these are unused.

Start game with that playlist?

Just a confirmation message.

empty

Not sure what this would be for.

You seem to already be in this lobby. (Error code: [x])

You can't join a lobby while inside one so this goes unused.

There are no checkpoints in this level
But I'm a nice guy
I'll give you extra health

Some unused tutorial text.

Firework

In with all the control texts. Could you at one point shoot fireworks?

Easy story mode enabled
Stop asking

Some early text for casual mode.

Hack the mainframe

Might be some Easter egg.

Unavailable for demo

Demo leftovers.

AUTO_NEVER_MODERN_TALK_0", "NEVER MODERN TALK"

Credits text for Never Modern Talk. Even though none of their music is actually accessible in-game. (See below)

AUTO_UPDATE_1_3_UNLOCKABLE", "unlockable with their amiibo or in the playlist"
AUTO_UPDATE_1_3_DAILY_REWARDS", "daily amiibo rewards"

amiibo functionality did get added in the version 1.3 update to the game where scanning the Shovel Knight amiibo unlocks new levels. Additionally, the player can scan up to 5 amiibo daily for free beat points.

Unused Music

Count Five and Die

The song "Count Five and Die" by Never Modern Talk can be found in the files.
Unlike the other songs in the files, this is the full song instead of fading out after about a minute.

Unused Piracy Screen

Initially, if the game detects that it wasn't running through Steam, a message would appear where programmer and game designer Lachhh will personally chew you out for stealing let you know that he understands and isn't mad. He then asks you to support the game via word of mouth and invites you to check out his stream.

As it turns out, this screen never plays on the pirated versions because they all ran through a Steam emulator, thus rendering it completely unused. The only way you can see this screen now is through hacking.
