Misc.
Due to limited space in the early pop'n music games, similar to pop'n music 2, none of the original backgrounds or sprites from the first two games are re-used in this game, although some of songs from 1 (and all from 2) are in this one. Characters from pop'n music with no match-ups to pop'n 3 characters are replaced by SHOLLKEE, and pop'n music 2 characters who don't have match-ups with pop'n music 3 characters are replaced by ice, who made his debut in this game. Additionally, all pop'n music CS and pop'n music 2 CS songs (except AKIBA) are represented exclusively by AYA, who comes in various colors for each song and made her debut in this game.
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. Character descriptions are taken from the official pop'n music 3 Botsu page. For the third game, these include
- Palette, a squirrel girl in the same clothing LingLing wears. Replaced by her.
- Maron, a quirky schoolgirl.
- Johne, a dog(?) wearing a purple jacket, green shorts, and grey shoes. Possibly the inspiration of Kobe for pop'n music 4 CS.
- Miki, a little, green-haired girl with two plushies to the left and right of her; the former looking like PRETTY, and the other a blue cat. Drawn up by p-cat for MAGICAL GIRL, but was replaced by Megumi. According to staff comments on the Botsu page, she's much more active than her.
- Yuka, who looks much like Megumi from pop'n music 3 but taller and has her hair in two long ponytails. She was created at roughly the same time as Megumi, but was dumped at the end for her.
- Kaede, a tall, fashionable-looking girl.
- Tina, a girl with brown hair originally designed for the song NEWCOMER. She was replaced by Kate, though the staff seemed to favor her over Kate.
- Tom, a spaceman, or possibly a robot. Originally made for the song MONDO under request of Hiroshi Takeyasu for a "space man" character, but was replaced by Cyber.
- Jhony, a cowboy with a hat that covers his eyes and a clover in his teeth. Originally made for SOUNDTRACK oddly enough, but was replaced by P-1&P-2.
- Bikky, a Native American-looking girl. The staff liked her design, but she was scrapped when she had no song for her to be used in.
- Ariel, a nun in purple robes. Possibly an early model for Jessica in pop'n music 6. Scrapped when they couldn't find a song to use her for.
- Tomoko, an average-looking girl in a hoodie, jeans, and a hat. Scrapped for being "too normal".
- Kevin (spelled "Kebin"), who was later put in pop'n music 5. Originally he was going to be the CS songs' rival character, a position that ended up going to AYA. According to INUCHIYO, he was designed to add more boys to the series.
- The Kaiser, a lion with a purple mane. The staff liked the character but never put him in any game.
- Dinos, a giant purple dinosaur who was said to be a relative of DiNO's. Never seen in any game.
- Koon, a punk chicken with human arms rejected for being "too boring".
- Lucky, a punk mouse with no shirt.
- Yumi, a green-haired girl in a pink dress. Was the prototype for Donna and replaced by her because the staff liked Donna more.
- Ben, a fat, biker-looking guy with a hedgehog on a chain.
- Donna in an alternate costume consisting of a blue, sleeveless vest, yellow shorts, long, white socks, and black shoes. Originally designed as a character in ko-gal attire, a fashion fad in the late 90's in Japan among teenage girls.
