* Last pop'n music game to limit songs exclusively to the stage number.
* First pop'n music game with EX notecharts. Much like when Hypers were introduced, few songs have them. EX charts would only be playable in the new EXtra Stage until [[PnM_AC_8|pop'n music 8]].
* Last pop'n music game to feature the original GAME OVER screen that had been since the [[PnM_AC_1|very first game]].
* First (and only) pop'n music game with Free Mode 2, which keeps track of the number of greats, goods, and bads you have. [[PnM_AC_7|pop'n music 7]] onward, however, show the number of greats, goods, and bads you have in a song in almost every mode. You only have 2 songs, but you can play the same song twice, a first in the series.
* First pop'n music game with EX notecharts. Much like when HYPER charts were introduced, few songs have them. EX charts would only be playable in the new EXtra Stage until [[PnM_AC_8|pop'n music 8]].
* All songs prior to [[PnM_AC_4|pop'n music 4]] have been removed due to memory limitations. Every pop'n music AC game through [[PnM_AC_8|pop'n music 8]] would continue to only have the current AC songlist and the previous game's. (Except in the case of licenses and songs in courses.) When [[PnM_AC_9|pop'n music 9]] came out and the series switched to VIPER hardware, most of the previously removed songs would be revived.

Every pop'n music arcade game through [[PnM_AC_8|pop'n music 8]] would continue to only have the current songlist and the previous game's. (Except in the case of licenses and songs in courses.) When [[PnM_AC_9|pop'n music 9]] came out and the series switched to VIPER hardware, most of the previously removed songs would be revived.
* All pop'n music 4 songs received new song backgrounds (though a few songs used the backdrops from 4 for their backgrounds), as well as their own MISS background.
