General Information

  • Release dates: 12/05/2012 (new cabinets), 12/12/2012 (upgrade kits)
  • Location test dates: 6/28/2012 - 7/1/2012
  • pop'n music Sunny Park is the first pop'n music arcade game since the original 1998 game to not have a number in the title.
    • It is also the first pop'n music arcade game since pop'n music 9 without category icons.
  • The rival for a song is displayed on the right side of the music select screen when choosing a song, not unlike the first 5 pop'n music arcade titles.
  • During the location test period of pop'n music Sunny Park, the song banners were absent. However, the banners were present again on the final release.
    • Licenses use the album art of the CDs/singles they're from on the right side of the music select screen, as opposed to showing the rival character.
  • Like pop'n music portable 2, all the artist names now use just one font. (However, it is a different font from pop'n music portable 2.)
  • The TV/ANIME category has been renamed テレビ・Jポップ (TV/J-POP).
  • The BEMANI category now shows songs only from currently active BEMANI games (beatmania IIDX, DDR, GF/DM, jubeat and REFLEC BEAT).
    • As a result, the ee'MALL songs that doesn't fit any of the above categories are gone from the BEMANI category, and they can only be found on the NAME and LEVEL categories.
    • Licensed songs that have also appeared on other BEMANI games are now included in the BEMANI category.
    • Songs that originated on a currently inactive BEMANI game, but that were crossovered in an active BEMANI game, can now be found in that active BEMANI game's category.
  • Except for older licenses and a few ee'MALL songs, all songs have the same MISS/FEVER animations/backgrounds now (the new one introduced in Sunny Park), including the new licenses and songs from previous pop'n music games.
  • EASY and NORMAL MODEs are now merged into a brand new NORMAL MODE.
  • Rating system is now expanded from 1-43 to 1-50. Most songs are upped 6-7 levels to compensate.
    • However, Battle chart levels, for the most part, are unchanged.
  • Songs are now sorted by name first, as opposed to genre. In addition, songs are now grouped into folders not unlike beatmania IIDX.
    • You can switch to genre sorting on the songwheel by pressing the 00 button on the e-AMUSEMENT keypad.
    • Every genre of the TV/J-POP category songs has been replaced by their respective titles.
    • You can also choose your character using song folders divided by game, too.
  • Difficulty changes are now done by pressing the left or right yellow buttons (you no longer have to hold two buttons down).
    • 5-Button has been replaced by EASY difficulty, which uses a select number of buttons as opposed to only the center 5 buttons in previous releases. Also, not every song has an EASY chart.
  • All the characters' 3P palettes that could be obtained by inputting the code found at the back of certain pop'n music 19/20 collectible cards (as well as the new ones for Sunny Park) were moved into a brand new character category, the Special Color category.
  • OPTION PREVIEW, a small window showing what the HIGH-SPEED, HIDDEN/SUDDEN or CHARA/BEAT-POP will be like for a song, is introduced. It is shown right before the beginning of a song, during the options screen before play.
  • A new feature called Event Booster lets you use PASELI points to speed up the process of unlocking songs.

Tsugidoka! (つぎドカ!)

These songs debuted on December 19th, 2012. They also appear in REFLEC BEAT colette, DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX, and (in the case of Cosmic Hurricane and snow prism, remixed in) GuitarFreaksXG3 & DrumManiaXG3.

Osusume Category Folder

This list is from a recently released game, and is not 100% complete.

With the removal of pop'n music 20 fantasia's EASY MODE, all the songs that were present in that mode were moved to its own category folder, the Osusume (オススメ, recommended) Category folder.

All these songs (which are TV/J-POP songs and some other popular Konami original songs) feature EASY charts. Unlike the former 5-Buttons charts, the EASY charts use a select number of buttons, which depends from song to song.

The folowing page lists all the songs available on the Osusume Category folder, as well as their respective EASY difficulties and the number of buttons used on that chart:

Due the new scale, every song from previous releases has been re-rated, so this section has been moved to its separate page:
