Due to limited space in the early pop'n music games, none of the original backgrounds or sprites from [[PnM_AC_1|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 one who have new sprites in this game have their new sprites replace their pop'n 1 character sprites, or are replaced by other pop'n 2 characters. 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 [[PnM_CS_1|pop'n music PS]]/[[PnM_CS_1_DC|DC]] pop'n music songs are represented exclusively by PRETTY, who comes in 5 different colors - for each CS song.

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 one who have new sprites in this game have their new sprites replace their pop'n 1 character sprites, or are replaced by other pop'n 2 characters. 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 - for each CS song.

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 Carnival)
  • 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.B. 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)
  • 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)
  • 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??)
