Due to limited space in the early pop'n music games, similar to [[AC pnm 2|pop'n music 2]], none of the original backgrounds or sprites from the first two games are re-used in this game, although some of songs from 1 (and all from 2) are in this one. Characters from [[AC pnm|pop'n music]] with no match-ups to pop'n 3 characters are replaced by SHOLLKEE, and [[AC pnm 2|pop'n music 2]] characters who don't have match-ups with pop'n music 3 characters are replaced by ice, who made his debut in this game. Additionally, all [[CS pnm|pop'n music CS]] ''and'' [[CS pnm 2|pop'n music 2 CS]] songs (except AKIBA) are represented exclusively by AYA, who comes in various colors for each song and made her debut in this game.

* Miki, a little, green-haired girl with two plushies to the left and right of her; the former looking like PRETTY, and the other a blue cat. Drawn up by [[p-cat]] for MAGICAL GIRL, but was replaced by Megumi. According to staff comments on the Botsu page, she's much more active than her.
|-
* Yuka, who looks much like Megumi from pop'n music 3 but taller and has her hair in two long ponytails. She was created at roughly the same time as Megumi, but was dumped at the end for her.

* Kaede, a tall, fashionable-looking girl.

| JUNGLE || ジャングル || [[LA LA LA]] || edison || Bamboo? || 23 || -
* Tomoko, an average-looking girl in a hoodie, jeans, and a hat. Scrapped for being "too normal".
|-
* Kevin (spelled "Kebin"), who was later put in [[AC pnm 5|pop'n music 5]]. Originally he was going to be the CS songs' rival character, a position that ended up going to AYA. According to [[INUCHIYO]], he was designed to add more boys to the series.

* The Kaiser, a lion with a purple mane. The staff liked the character but never put him in any game.
* Dinos, a giant purple dinosaur who was said to be a relative of DiNO's. Never seen in any game.
* Koon, a punk chicken with human arms rejected for being "too boring".
* Lucky, a punk mouse with no shirt.
* Yumi, a green-haired girl in a pink dress. Was the prototype for Donna and replaced by her because the staff liked Donna more.
* Ben, a fat, biker-looking guy with a hedgehog on a chain.
* Donna in an alternate costume consisting of a blue, sleeveless vest, yellow shorts, long, white socks, and black shoes. Originally designed as a character in ko-gal attire, a fashion fad in the late 90's in Japan among teenage girls.
