Lumines Supernova introduced the Digdown mode, where the goal is to make two empty columns. Completing it grants the player a wonderful amount of nothing. Oh, there's also a LittleBIGPlanet skin.

Unused Music/Sounds#
Lumines II/LIVE! Menu Music#
Present in data\music_menu is an audio file containing the main menu music heard in Lumines II, Lumines LIVE! and Lumines: Puzzle Fusion PC.
Block the Sky Oddity#
The skin Block the Sky contains an oddity; two of the sequence entries in its .csv file, o06music.csv, have the same number ID, resulting in one of them not being read by the game.
[SEQ_09],1,9,18,22,, [not read]
[SEQ_09],1,10,18,,, [read]
This also results in Sound 9, o06tr_drm5.msf, becoming completely unused, as none of the other sequence tracks use it.
The Spy Loves Me#
The skin The Spy Loves Me is the only unused skin with complete data found in the game's files, even including sounds. They can be found in data\so_music21.

The tracklist index for Digdown mode, found in digdown.lst, has an oddity: three unused skins, IDs 914, 915 and 975, are referenced right after ID 820, the last skin normally playable in the mode. They all use a .csv file linked to SQUARE DANCE, and do not have any proper assets in the game's files.

The entirety of Lumines Plus' text can be found in data\menu, labeled mes_en.bin, mes_fr.bin, mes_ge.bin, mes_it.bin, mes_jp.bin and mes_sp.bin. As Lumines Plus was never released in Japan, mes_jp.bin and mes_en.bin are identical.
Developer Instructions#
In certain folders, there are readme.txt files containing developer instructions. "Kode" and "Senba" likely refer to Osamu Kodera and Kenji Senba, who were credited as programmers for Lumines II.
