= Rejected designs = | |||
The pop'n music series has a long history of rejected characters. Some never saw the light of day, and some would later be used many years or mixes later. For the first game, these include: | |||
* A green man with an afro (early BAMBOO, perhaps?) | |||
* A pink bunny, later used as PRETTY in [[CS pnm|pop'n music CS]] | |||
* A pumpkin-head guy with jeans and a shirt with a dollar sign on it | |||
* A green-skinned vampire with parted blonde hair, a black jacket, a red shirt, and jeans (early Yuli?) | |||
* A bear with the flag of Great Britain on it | |||
* An angry-looking Native American | |||
* A hippie dog | |||
* A pair of frogs (possibly early version of Anzu) | |||
* A green donkey with a guitar | |||
* A skateboarding snowman with green shorts | |||
* A walking orange with clothes | |||
* A weird-looking yellow man with black overalls and pink shoes and a red hat (face looks similar to that of TROPPIE) | |||
* A space man in a yellow suit (early Cyber?) | |||
* Male Japanese announcer in a kimono | |||
* Man with a T.V. for a head | |||
* A yellow-skinned man with a blue hat covering his eyes, with a white t-shirt and green pants. Also wears a necklace with a picture of a green hand with four fingers | |||
* An angry-looking chicken wearing glasses, blue shades, a small, tight shirt, green shorts, and multi-colored shoes | |||
* A man in a circus-type costume with a black bandana covering his eyes (similar to the garb Mimi and Nyami wear in [[AC pnm 13|pop'n music 13 カーニバル]]) | |||
* A red fire with a black biker shirt, a belt, and brown shoes | |||
Also notable are various color designs for already established characters. For example, JUDY's hair was originally brown. | |||
