=== EXPERT MODE and planned theme ===
Much like beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro mentioned above, pop'n music 18 せんごく列伝 was the first pop'n music title with no EXPERT MODE since its introduction. However, graphical data for this mode can be found on the HDD, revealing that the original theme for pop'n music 18 was city/town based, not unlike [[AC pnm 19|TUNE STREET]]. This suggests that EXPERT MODE was dropped early on the game's development.


There is placeholder data for EXPERT MODE courses, which uses [[AC pnm 17|THE MOVIE]]'s courses, further suggesting that the mode was dropped before the final theme was decided.

* [[smooooch|smooooch・∀・]] was supposed to appear [https://web.archive.org/web/20170812202527/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/music19/mc/11/candy.html in the game]. Sound director [[Jun Wakita|wac]] scrapped the idea because he felt the song clashed too much with the game's sengoku period theme. It eventually found its way into the next pop'n music game, TUNE STREET.
