Unused Audio

This is a sub-page of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team.

Unused Music#

The following tracks are prefixed with SND_BGM_M_ in Blue Rescue Team.

EVENT_ZUKKOKE#

Red Rescue Team	Blue Rescue Team

This track's internal name suggests that it was intended for a cutscene. The word "zukkoke" is Japanese for "foolish" or "stupid."

SYS_TRAINING#

Red Rescue Team	Blue Rescue Team

This track's internal name suggests that it was intended for a training feature of some sort, which is likely to have been the Makuhita Dojo dungeons. The final game uses the oddly named DUNGEON_TUTORIAL_01 for this purpose.

There are also two completely silent tracks, labeled internally as DUMMY and SAVE_01.

Unused ME#

MEs are jingles used for notifications, with a few odd exceptions. The following tracks are prefixed with SND_ME_M_ in Blue Rescue Team.

EVOLUTION_02#

Red Rescue Team	Blue Rescue Team

This jingle is intended for the unused enemy evolution mechanic.

Additionally, the tracks LEVELUP (used when leveling up) and REWARD (used when receiving a mission reward) have unused duplicates labeled FANFARE and NEWS, respectively.

411	N/A	N/A	STATE_SHIELD
424	N/A	N/A	STATE_ESCAPE

462			EVENT_SIGN_LAUGH_01_L	Only the version from Red Rescue Team loops.

923	N/A	N/A	EFF_BOMB_FRUIT	Very likely intended for dungeon effect #416 used by the Blast Seed, BOMB_FRUIT. This dungeon effect uses EFF_SMALL_BOMB as its sound instead.
