What Could Have Been: Difference between revisions

Although tricoro was the first beatmania IIDX game to not have EXPERT MODE, graphical data for this mode on the MODE SELECT screen can be found unused in tricoro's HDD.

 

* Sound and HDD data for the song exists in tricoro, with its own ID number of 20026, but it has no notecharts and was never made playable, being the only unused song with sound data that didn't appear in any of the following IIDX games. This might be attributed to its composers, [[Naoki Maeda|NAOKI]] and [[Junko Karashima|jun]], both leaving KONAMI in early 2013.

 

 

=== [[POINT ZERO]]'s overlays ===

* Placeholder graphics for overlays for POINT ZERO can be found in the tricoro HDD. As the dummy images used as placeholders only show numbers, it is currently unknown if POINT ZERO's jacket in [[AC jb saucer|jubeat saucer]] was based on the scrapped overlays for the song.

 

* The original sequel to [[Shakunetsu Beach Side Bunny|灼熱Beach Side Bunny]], titled 灼熱Lost Summer Dayz and made by both DJ Mass MAD Izm* and DJ YOSHITAKA at the time, was supposed to come out in [https://twitter.com/DJ_Mass_/status/373725385810120704 Summer 2013 according to DJ Mass MAD Izm* himself], however nothing came out of it; it was likely the initial final boss of the ''クプロ・ミミニャミ・パステルくんのみんなで宇宙戦争!!'' event. This was supported by data of a collaboration song between both artists found on [[AC pnm Sunny Park|pop'n music Sunny Park]], with said song's ID being replaced by [[Zirkfied]] afterwards. A reworked sequel of 灼熱Beach Side Bunny involving only DJ Mass MAD Izm*, titled [[Shakunetsu Pt.2 Long Train Running|灼熱 Pt.2 Long Train Running]], would then appear two years later on [[AC copula|beatmania IIDX 23 copula]].

* LEGGENDARIA charts for [[NO CRIME|NΦ CRIME]] can be found unused in the BISTROVER HDD.

* Prerelease material for the game show that the cabinet had some minor differences, most notably that the hi-hat and cymbal were colored red instead of blue, while the right tom was blue instead of red [https://twitter.com/oyakodon_oniku/status/1417825754948067335].

* [[Daikenkai|大見解]] / [[Osamu Migitera|Des-ROW‧組]]

** Lepton, a song from [[AC GFDM XG2|GuitarFreaksXG2 & DrumManiaXG2]], has complete charts for the classic series of GuitarFreaks & DrumMania (it also had these unused charts in GuitarFreaksXG2 & DrumManiaXG2's CLASSIC MODE).

* [[Chikuwa parfait da yo CKP|ちくわパフェだよ☆CKP]] / [[Youhei Kimura|日向美ビタースイーツ♪]]

* [[Atsushi Shindo]] songs [[Nanka hen da!|なんか変だ！]] and [[Nervous breakdown ~type zero~|ナーバス ブレークダウン～タイプゼロ～]] were planned to be included in this game, as graphical data for both songs can be found in the data. However, they were likely removed due to the expiration of Atsushi Shindo's contract with KONAMI, as well as his accounts of plagiarism getting publicly known by then.

References to 3P palettes for [[Camomile bathroom|risette]], [[birds|SANAE♥chan]], and [[Oedo hanafubuki|S・8・TARO]] can be found on the pop'n music data, named with the same suffix for the 3P palettes used in URA charts. Of these three characters, the latter two have, besides their respective portraits, proper colored sprites as well. Those can be seen in [http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm8789293 this video].

* [[Aqua]]'s song comments from [[Jun Wakita|wac]] note that it was nearly cut from the game, due to complications involving [[Toshihiro Mizuno]] and his wife [[Akino Mizuno]]: the former having a dying friend in the hospital, and the latter about to give birth to two daughters. The song was also originally written as a scat song before being reworked into a vocal song as well.

* [[crimm]] notes in the song comments for [[Mizuumi no kioku|みずうみの記憶]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20160613144319/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/music16/mc/06/mizuumi.html here] that she was supposed to sing in a new song in pop'n music 15 ADVENTURE, but "bad news" came up and she couldn't appear. It's unknown if みずうみの記憶 was supposed to in pop'n music 15 ADVENTURE, though.

* References to downloadable content can be found within the game's data, though the game never had any.

* A graphic for [[Votum stellarum]] can be found within the game's files.

* Wish could be seen in a promotional screenshot [https://twitter.com/wgy_muyu/status/1336255009193742341]. It never appeared in the final game.
