Unused Graphics#

HYPER Chart Leftovers#

Starting from 0x1F0E000 are sprite sheets for the genre names seen in the song result screen. Within several of these sheets are placeholder graphics labeled "Hyper Yokohama 1" and "Hyper Yokohama 2"; they were seemingly meant for HYPER charts for the songs ENAMORADA and Taiyou ga mitsumeteru, though they don't have them in the final game.

Furthermore, within the total result screen graphics (0x1FB6800) are placeholder genre name graphics for these same charts, labeled "2" and "3".

Unused Character Palettes#

Many characters, both returning and new, have unused palettes within their sprite sheets.

New Characters (AC)#

JUDY

The character of Toumeina manicure. Her sprite sheet (0x2EF000) has an unused variant of her 1P palette which shows her with a pink bracelet (like her 2P) instead of a blue one.

Ash

The character of Kimi wo kowashitai. The graphics in his sprite sheet (0x333000) are mostly the same as his pop'n music 3 counterpart, so it's no surprise some palettes from that game can be found too; these include 3P and 4P palettes, both palettes meant to be seen in the total results screen, and a black and white palette.

Black and White Palette

Taro&Okon

The character of Ai kotoba. In a similar case to Ash, many graphics in their sprite sheet (0x355800) are mostly the same as S.8.TARO in pop'n music 2, and the palettes from that game were also kept, including those meant for the total result screen, as well as for S.8.TARO's name graphic.

Old Name Palette

NK2000

The character of Nanja-Nai. Her sprite sheet (0x382800) has an unused variant of her 1P palette which depicts her with pink gloves.

Donna

The character of Girls Riot and LET ME FEEL SO HIGH. Curiously, there's two separate sprite sheets for both of her appearances (0x3B2800 contains the "new" version, and 0x43F000 the "old" one); both will be listed in this section.

The "new" sheet still has the main palettes from the "old" one, while the "old" sheet has the palettes meant for the total results screen in pop'n music 3.

YUKI

The character of HONE made tonight. Her sprite sheet (0x3BF000) has an unused palette which resembles her 2P but that has light blue hair, red eyes, and black gloves, and an unused variation of her 1P which tints her stomach cyan (possibly a palette test?).
