Unused Graphics#

Unused Song Leftovers#

Ranking Screen#

At 0x1FEC800 is a package containing graphics seen in the name entry and ranking screens. Found within the genre tile graphics seen in the latter (and also in the total results screen), there are several blank entries; two in the Stage 1 sheet (Bit of Love and ENDLESS SUMMER NUDE), one in the Stage 2 sheet (LET ME FEEL SO HIGH), and another one in the Hyper sheet (Surechigau futari).

Results Screen#

As a result of the graphics for the genres seen in the results screen (from 0x1F9E000 to 0x1FEA800) being seemingly directly taken from the game's original arcade release, there are numerous tiles which refer to songs that are not playable here.

Free Mode#

At 0x43800 is a package which mostly contains sprites for Free Mode. Within the sheet for the character portraits, there are still palettes for Dia and Donna, the characters of the removed songs Bit of Love and LET ME FEEL SO HIGH.
