Misc.
Due to limited space in the early pop'n music games, none of the original backgrounds or sprites from pop'n music are re-used in this game, although all the songs from the original game are in this one. Characters returning from the previous installment have their new sprites replace their pop'n 1 character sprites, or are replaced by another pop'n music 2 character. Characters who don't have match-ups with pop'n music 2 characters (such as CHARLY from spicy piece) are replaced by MZD, who made his debut in this game. Additionally, all the pop'n music PS/DC pop'n music songs are represented exclusively by pretty, who comes in 5 different colors - one for each CS song.
Also, none of the hidden HYPER charts for the CS songs are playable in 2 AC.
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 second game, these include
- A girl wearing a hat with dog flaps, as well as a jacket, shorts, and big boots (later retooled as White-Merry in pop'n music 13 カーニバル)
- FAT BOY, who later came into the series with pop'n stage
- SMOKE, who was redesigned nine years later and put in pop'n music 16 PARTY♪
- An early-looking W.B.ROSE, who later came into the series with pop'n music 6
- A girl in blue overalls, with a multi-colored, long sleeve shirt and red shoes with white stripes. Her hair consists of brown pigtails with a rainbow hat on top, and has a giant pink bear behind her
- A human, male samurai (possibly redesigned as S.8.TARO)
- Early-looking YOSHIO, who was later put in pop'n music 7
- A see-through Mimi (possibly used as the concept of hone nyami in pop'n music 9), which was later used on the LOSE animation of Torte&Parfait from pop'n music 19 TUNE STREET
- A panda bear with a microphone, wearing a yellow sweater with green stripes, brown pants, and light blue shoes (Nyami would later don this wardrobe in pop'n music 11 license おれはジャイアンさまだ!)
- A happy man with purple hair in a yellow space suit, a red star on his knees, shoulder, and shirt, and wears purple shoes / skates (early Ryusei*Honey??)
- Stereotypical Chinese girl with brown, braided hair (possibly model of LingLing in pop'n music 3)
- A woman in a long, blue dress with butterflies on it, with long blue hair that covers up one of her eyes. A flower also dons her head (possibly retooled as Honey in pop'n music 8)
- A frog with yellow gloves and looks vaguely like Kermit the Frog
- A girl in a yellow bee costume (early hina??)
- A nun in purple garb (possibly retooled as Jessica in pop'n music 6)
- A girl with blonde hair (with three flowers on top of it), star eyes, and wears a red dress and a blue t-shirt underneath it. She's also holding a wand in her hand and is accompanied by a little cat and rabbit (early SPACE MACO??)
