Unused Graphics#

Background Animations#

With this game, came a new file sorting method: the folder DATA8 is now used to contain many files used for the game's songs, which include graphics, music, keysounds and animation controllers. Amidst the graphic resources for several older songs, exist several unused sprites, listed below:

Happy man - I0005/BG0005.FCN#

From the original GuitarFreaks to GuitarFreaks 3rdMIX, during a scene in the video of the song Happy man, a rocker character is displayed, strumming either a guitar or a broom. In later releases, only his head is displayed, albeit the graphics for his other body parts can still be found.

JET WORLD - I0021/BGM0021.FCN#

Text and graphics from the song's original background animations, featured in the original GuitarFreaks 2ndMIX.

P.P.R. - I0111/BGM0111.FCN#

Unused graphics for a blast animation.

SAY WHAT YOU MEAN - I0129/BGM0129.FCN#

GuitarFreaks 3rdMIX‍ '​s credits still exist within the song's background animation files.

Songlist Item#

This graphic, found in DATA8/I0436/IDX0436.DAT, is a songlist item for the How To Play song, which is not selectable under normal circumstances.

Results Screen#

These placeholder graphics are leftovers from GuitarFreaks 8thMIX & drummania 7thMIX, and can be found in PCCARD1.DAT (GF)/GAME.DAT (dm). They come in seven variants.

Unlock Card#

Two placeholder images, also found in PCCARD1.DAT (GF)/GAME.DAT (dm). They are linked to an e-AMUSEMENT function.

Other#

The dead fish from the GuitarFreaks 8thMIX & drummania 7thMIX data returns again.

Unused Audio#

Within GAME.DAT is a "Game Over" announcer line. Because the "failed" Game Over screen was removed in GuitarFreaks 8thMIX & drummania 7thMIX Power-Up Version, it goes unused.
