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 CS pop'n music songs are represented exclusively by pretty, who comes in five different colors - one for each CS song.
Also, none of the hidden HYPER charts for the CS songs are playable in the arcade version of pop'n music 2.

- A human, male samurai (possibly redesigned as S.8.TARO)
- Early-looking YOSHIO, who was later put in pop'n music 7

- 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！)
