Unused Graphics
NOTE: None of the graphics listed below have proper filenames; the names are given based on the order in which they are present in IMAGE.DAT.
Unused Song Leftovers
Throughout the game's archives are leftovers for several songs not present in the game in any way; these include their characters, which also go unused unless stated otherwise.
LET ME FEEL SO HIGH
- Genre: PUNK
- Character: Donna [3]
- Game of origin: pop'n music 3
This song received a Hyper chart in the arcade release of pop'n music 10, which might have been a reason for its planned inclusion in this port.
No in-game sprites remain in the data.
File 70
Sadly, what was likely Donna's character portrait was overwritten.
Nanka hen da!
- Genre: POWER FOLK
- Character: Ash [3]
- Game of origin: pop'n music 3
This song received a Hyper chart in the arcade release of pop'n music 10, which might have been a reason for its planned inclusion in this port.
Despite this, there was a bigger thorn preventing this and another song, "Nervous breakdown ~type zero~", from being included: accusations of plagiarism towards Atsushi Shindo, the composer of these tracks.
Character portrait and in-game sprites don't seem to exist.
Secret tale
- Genre: SOFT ROCK from IIDX
- Chararacter: SANAEchan [9]
- Game of origin: pop'n music 9
This song was a hidden track in the PlayStation 2 release of pop'n music 9, which might have been a reason for its planned inclusion in this port.
Butapunch no theme
- Genre: OI PUNK 0
- Character: UOWO [CS6-2P]
- Game of origin: pop'n music 9
This song was a hidden track in the PlayStation 2 release of pop'n music 9, which might have been a reason for its planned inclusion in this port.
Character portrait and in-game sprites don't seem to exist.
Yume souti(desmix)
- Genre: DES-NAWA
- Character: MZD [9-OKINAWA]
- Game of origin: pop'n music 9
This song was a hidden track in the PlayStation 2 release of pop'n music 9, which might have been a reason for its planned inclusion in this port.
While its in-game sprites are unused, most of them are directly taken from the regular MZD [9]'s 1P palette. As such, only the exclusive sprites to this variation will be displayed.
Hikari no kisetsu
- Genre: MELLOW REMIX
- Character: MZD [9-MELLOW]
- Game of origin: pop'n music 9
This song was a hidden track in the PlayStation 2 release of pop'n music 9, which might have been a reason for its planned inclusion in this port.
While its in-game sprites are unused, most of them are directly taken from the regular MZD [9]'s 2P palette. As such, only the exclusive sprites to this variation will be displayed.
DSCHINGIS KHAN
- Genre: DSCHINGIS KHAN
- Character: Bamboo [TV&ANIME]
- Game of origin: pop'n music 10
A licensed song from the original arcade version that is absent from this console port. Its character, Bamboo [TV&ANIME], would later be playable in the home release of pop'n music 11.
No in-game sprites exist.
Ukiuki WATCHING
- Genre: IITOMO
- Character: Kazao Kachou with POPPERS [TV&ANIME]
- Game of origin: pop'n music 10
A licensed song from the original arcade version that is absent from this console port. Its character was never available in any home release, either.
Character portrait and in-game sprites don't seem to exist.
Nervous breakdown ~type zero~
- Genre: DIGI FOLK
- Character: Ash [10]
- Game of origin: pop'n music 10
An original song, removed due to accounts of plagiarism done by the song's composer, Atsushi Shindo, becoming public.
Note that this song's character, Ash [10], is not unused, however.
Placeholder
There is also a placeholder slot within Files 4 and 44, which contain songwheel genre and artist graphics, respectively. The songwheel genre reuses the banner image of the song Yume to genjitsu, while the artist reads "猛獣" (moujuu), meaning "beast", or, more literally, "fierce animal".
Other Unused Characters
There's also data for a couple more unused characters within the archives.
cup-kun
A hidden character from pop'n music 9 and its home port. Only icons can be found, within File 3.
Dummy
There's also a grayed out variant of the character nanako&soramame, as seen in the song Seishuning, from the home release of pop'n music 5, and a long version of which appears in the console port of pop'n music 9. As evidenced by the "D" label and the comments in the character portrait, it was meant to be used as a placeholder.
Placeholder Within Character
The character HOT.D [10], whose in-game sprites can be found in Files 476 and 477, has an unused, placeholder asset labeled "make" (lose).
Placeholder Ending Images
Files 671 to 674 contain placeholder end screen images.
Tokyo Game Show 2004 Leftovers
Several leftovers from a build showcased during the Tokyo Game Show 2004 event.
File 9
Meant to be seen in the title screen.
File 80
Grouped with the character portraits.
Arcade Leftovers
Multiple leftovers from the game's original arcade release.
File 9
Meant to be seen in the title screen.
File 34
Sorting labels, meant to be seen in the character selection screen.
Unused Text
...But does it make sense? The translations on this page need to be proofread. If you are fluent enough in this language, please make any corrections necessary! |
Found at offset 0xCCAC0 (revision) of the game's executable is a song description string for the Study Mode songs, which goes unused, since they normally do not appear in the standard songwheel.
