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 (possibly redesigned as Cyber)
- 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)
