== [[AC bm 1st|beatmania]] ==
* According to [[Kiyoshi Mizuki]] on the ''beatmania press mix'' book, at the very beginning of the development of beatmania, the game had three buttons per player. There was only one turntable, which was shared between both players.
* The [http://furimuki.sakura.ne.jp/2/page9704.html January 1998] issue of the ''MyCom BASIC Magazine'' (マイコンBASICマガジン) includes a screenshot of an early version of beatmania:
** beatmania is referred by its working title, '''DJ BEATS'''.
** Most notably, the notes are rounded, and the notes on the black keys are gray instead of blue.
** The judgment line is absent.
** Only one GROOVE GAUGE (named GROOVE LEVEL) is used, even if two players are present.
** An audio visualizer graphic is shown below the GROOVE LEVEL gauge.
* beatmania was first unveiled to the public at the AM Show 1997 event. While it retained the GROOVE LEVEL gauge and audio visualizer from the above-mentioned screenshot, the notes were changed to the same shape as the final version's ones, although a bit thicker.
 
== [[AC bm 2nd|beatmania 2ndMIX]] ==
* The [http://furimuki.sakura.ne.jp/2/page9803.html April 1998] issue of the ''Famitsu'' magazine includes a screenshot of an early version of beatmania 2ndMIX, which also shows the audio visualizer graphic from DJ BEATS. It is currently unknown if this graphic was present during development of beatmania 2ndMIX, or if the screenshot is just an updated version of the aforementioned DJ BEATS' image.
 
== [[AC bm 5th|beatmania 5thMIX -Time to get down-]] ==
* During the beatmania 5thMIX -Time to get down- location tests, each song had a separate, unique title card, much like [[AC bm 4th|beatmania 4thMIX -the beat goes on-]]. This was removed in the final release due to memory issues, but were later posted on [https://web.archive.org/web/20151114171447/http://www.konami.jp/am/bm/5th/staff/staff01.html the game's official website].
 
== [[AC bm Club|beatmania ClubMIX]] ==
* A hidden developer comment states "TRUE NAME IS MIRAI MIX", hinting that this may have been the game's original subtitle [https://tcrf.net/Beatmania_ClubMIX#Codename].
 
== [[AC bm DREAMS COME TRUE|beatmania featuring DREAMS COME TRUE]] ==
* A hidden developer comment states "LAST DJ MAIN BORD BEAT DCT", meaning this may have originally intended to have been the last beatmania game on the BEMANI DJ-MAIN hardware (or potentially the last beatmania game ''at all''). The BEMANI DJ-MAIN board would not be discontinued until the release of [[AC bm THE FINAL|beatmania THE FINAL]] two years later [https://tcrf.net/Beatmania_featuring_Dreams_Come_True_(Arcade)].

== [[AC bm THE FINAL|beatmania THE FINAL]] ==
* According to composer [[Naoki Maeda]], [[birdman]] was supposed to be a [https://web.archive.org/web/20151115050942/http://www.konami.jp/am/bm/final/music/birdman.html collaboration] between him and [[Takehiko Fujii|SLAKE]], which would've marked the first and only time in BEMANI the two worked together on a song. The demo version, which Naoki composed by himself in preparation for the collab, ended up used in the final game instead.

== [[AC 1st style|beatmania IIDX]] ==
* The [http://furimuki.sakura.ne.jp/2/page9901.html March 15th, 1999 issue of Gamest] shows a screenshot of an earlier build of beatmania IIDX where the scratch notes are thicker than keyboard notes, and the judgment line is absent.
** Another screenshot shows a different song selection screen, with different fonts and without song titles.
** The Mode Select screen shows Practice (練習), EASY, and NORMAL modes instead of 4KEYS, 5KEYS, and 7KEYS modes, respectively.
== [[AC 2nd style|beatmania IIDX 2nd style]] ==
* [[Shake]] was [https://web.archive.org/web/20150507031400fw_/http://www.konami.jp/am/bm2dx/bm2dx2/introshake.html nearly cut] from beatmania IIDX 2nd style, as sound director [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]] was upset by the death of double member Sachiko, who died months before 2nd style's release. He changed his mind when he thought the song matched too well with his vision of 2nd style to scrap it.
== [[AC 4th style|beatmania IIDX 4th style]]/[[AC 5th style|5th style]] ==
* According to [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]], [[ABSOLUTE]] was originally titled '''Special Thanks''', but both [[Gyo Eguchi|VJ GYO]] and [[Goli Matsumoto|GOLI]] thought it was "lame", and rejected it. [https://twitter.com/iam_nota_djtaka/status/173088204960956417]
* According to [[Ryutaro Nakahara|Ryu☆]], he submitted [[sakura storm]] for a second Musicianship Trial, similar to how his song [[starmine]] won the first contest. The second contest was [https://twitter.com/RyutaroNakahara/status/1100403327433502725 cancelled], and the beatmania IIDX staff wouldn't announce winners for a second one for two more years in [[AC 9th style|beatmania IIDX 9th style]], when vocalist [[flare]] and musician [[Sho Maruyama]] won. (Coinidentally, Ryu☆ and fellow first Musicianship Trial winner [[Kosuke Saito|kors k]] returned to IIDX in 9th style as well.)
== [[AC 8th style|beatmania IIDX 8th style]] ==
* [[Drivin']] / [[Naoki Maeda|NAOKI]] feat.[[Paula Terry|PAULA TERRY]]
** Drivin' was originally to have [https://web.archive.org/web/20150507125606fw_/http://www.konami.jp/am/bm2dx/bm2dx8/songs_drivin.html a Japanese name and Japanese vocals] to go with the other songs in 8th style NAOKI named/were sung in Japanese ([[Aoi shoudou|蒼い衝動]] and [[Sakura|桜]]). It was through trial and error with Paula Terry that the song was finished.

** Both songs were [http://web.archive.org/web/20090716122436/http://www.konami.jp/products/2dx16_ps2/ at one point listed on the official website for the game]. Neither song made it to the final version of the game.
 
== [[AC Resort Anthem|beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem]] ==
* Daily result screens for each day of the week were planned to be included in the game, each containing a female DJ or two. In order from Sunday through Saturday, the seven would have been [[Celica]] (though labeled as "Sanday") & [[Erika]], [[Sakura (character)|Sakura]], [[Nyah]], [[Tsugaru]], [[Xiatian]], [[Ameto]] & [[Hihumi]], and [[Iroha]] & [[Lilith]]. Sunday also contains an alternate background from EMPRESS + PREMIUM BEST with Celica as well under "Sunday". These pictures can be seen [https://tcrf.net/Beatmania_IIDX_18_Resort_Anthem#Daily_Result_Screens here].
 
== [[AC Lincle|beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle]] ==
* Complete data for [[Vienna]], including an audio preview, can be found unused in the Lincle HDD, suggesting it was intended to be revived in ''Lincle Kingdom''.


== [[AC tricoro|beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro]] ==
== [[AC tricoro|beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro]] ==
=== [[masquerade]] / [[TERRA|TЁЯRA]] ===
<gallery class="center">
* Sound and HDD data for the song exists in tricoro, but it has no notecharts and was never made playable, being the only unused song with sound data that didn't appear in the following game, [[AC SPADA|beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA]]. This might be attributed to its composers, [[Naoki Maeda|NAOKI]] and [[Junko Karashima|jun]], both leaving KONAMI in early 2013.
tricoro EXPERT.jpg
</gallery>
* 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.
* Keysounds and preview audio for the pop'n music song [[Masquerade]] exist in tricoro, with its own ID number of 20026 and the [[AC SIRIUS|SIRIUS]] HOUSE generic video assigned to it. 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.
* The ''beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK Vol.2'' album was never released; the remaining tricoro originals were instead moved to the second disc of the ''beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK'' album.
* Placeholder 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, was supposed to come out in [https://twitter.com/DJ_Mass_/status/373725385810120704 summer 2013 according to DJ Mass MAD Izm* himself]. However no song of that title was ever released. Data involving both artists could briefly be found in the [[AC pnm Sunny Park|pop'n music Sunny Park]] data before it was replaced by [[Zirkfied]], suggesting it was intended to the be the boss song of the [[Q-pro, Mimi, Nyami & Pastel-kun no minna de uchuu sensou!!]] event. 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]].
* [[MARIA (I believe... )]]'s unique [[CS DDR EXTREME2|DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME2]] video can be found unused in the tricoro HDD.
** However, unlike fellow beatmania IIDX song [[Make A Difference]] in the same game, which got an extension to its video for its original beatmania IIDX length, MARIA (I believe... )'s video was the same cut as its DanceDanceRevolution counterpart, suggesting that plans fell through to extend it.


=== No volume 2 of the tricoro ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK album ===
== [[AC SPADA|beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA]] ==
* The ''beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK Vol.2'' album was never released; the closest thing to it is the second disc of the ''beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK'' containing the remaining tricoro songs, but the release's product page never mentions that it is the second volume of the tricoro OST. The long versions of the tricoro songs that made it to the beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK caused long versions of some SPADA songs to be delayed due to lack of space (some of them made it to the [[beatnation RHYZE vs HARDCORE TANO*C]] album).
''Spada†leggendaria'' was supposed to have an eighth song. A result banner showing the Spada†leggendaria chamber alongside all seven swords (including the usual "Spada†leggendaria - SECRET MUSIC UNLOCKED" text) was left unused in the data. It is assumed that the unused artist alias would refer to the legendary sword Excalibur, which is noticeably absent among the sword name theming of SPADA. It was likely to be the ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE, as unused image text for one can be found in the SPADA HDD.
** The final cutscene of the ''ぼくらの宇宙戦争'' event mentioned a final battle against the joker villains to be coming soon, which further suggests that a true final event for tricoro was planned. This final battle only happened almost two years later, in [[AC PENDUAL|beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL]]'s ''Qpronicle Chord'' event.


=== ''灼熱Lost Summer Dayz'' / [[DJ Mass MAD Izm*]] vs [[Yoshitaka Nishimura|DJ YOSHITAKA]] ===
== [[AC PENDUAL|beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL]] ==
* 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 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 [[PnM AC SP|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]].
=== Chrono Chaser ===
''Chrono Chaser'' was going to have a more regular cycle, as [[Say YEEEAHH]] and [[Reflux]], made available late in June 2015, could be found in the HDD as early as November 2014. Negative reception of Chrono Chaser's extremely vague unlock system likely put the event on a long hiatus. After PENDUAL, beatmania IIDX went back to having secret extra stage events like ''LIMIT BURST'' and ''Spada†leggendaria''.  


== [[AC SPADA|beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA]] ==
=== Unfinished overlays ===
beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA is well known for its unfinished status. Event content being cut or not added altogether due to [[Yoshitaka Nishimura|DJ YOSHITAKA]] becoming the producer midway throughout the game's life cycle and pushing for another IIDX title, and PASELI features, might have ruined plans due to the modified EXTRA STAGE restrictions.
* [[Despair of ELFERIA]]'s boss overlays data contained unused sprites for a second form; they look identical to the last form of [[Rengoku no Elferia|煉獄のエルフェリア]]'s boss, except colored differently.
* [[Kyoumei yuugi no hana|共鳴遊戯の華]]'s LIMIT BREAK boss attack sequence was going to feature every joker villain, as images showing their names were found in the overlays data. The data also contained an unfinished sketch image of ''Lopica'' (共鳴遊戯の華's main boss character).


=== Qprogue ===
== [[AC copula|beatmania IIDX 23 copula]] ==
Qprogue had a convoluted development, originally just having seven original songs and two CS crossovers ([[Onegai Einstein|お願いアインシュタイン]], [[Pharaoh]], [[ra'am]], [[Hypersonik]], [[refractive index]], [[RIZING YOU UP]], [[Unicorn tail]], with [[Rengoku no Elferia|煉獄のエルフェリア]] as the last boss), just like beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro's main event format.
=== Mystery Line ===
Mystery Line's medal list in the files contains additional, unobtainable medal entries that had the same unlock requirements (unlock three Mystery Line charts) for up to nine more songs, suggesting the event was supposed to be longer.


After the second phase, Qprogue was supposed to get a third and final one themed after the fire island seen at the end of Qprogue DX. Map data of said phase was made but was eventually purged (including all its references) once Qprogue DX was added; Qprogue DX is referenced as "phase 4" in the data, proving that a "phase 3" was skipped.  
== [[AC HEROIC VERSE|beatmania IIDX 27 HEROIC VERSE]] ==
=== Double BEGINNER ===
* Text related to Double BEGINNER can be found in the game data. However, this difficulty has never been available in an arcade title, and only a handful of songs have had Double BEGINNER charts in CS titles.


It was supposed to house, aside some CS crossovers, at least [[into the battlefield]] and [[M.D.Injection]], explaining why they were the only Qprogue DX songs aside 煉獄のエルフェリア to have overlays. It was also going to have the infamous [[Broken Sword]] as a sub-boss prior to 煉獄のエルフェリア. Placeholder images for the Broken Sword mini-boss battle in the fire island was left in the data (with the boss itself implied to be ''Tuonetar'' given the location and following the Last Dance story).
=== Fire Beat ===
* Full data for [[Fire Beat]] exists inside the game, including charts, keysounds, a generic video assigned to it, and a listing inside the game's music ID database. It is speculated that the song was intended to be added alongside an event challenging players to beat top-ranker [[DOLCE.]]'s scores on the song; the event was held using [[CS ULTIMATE MOBILE|beatmania IIDX ULTIMATE MOBILE]] instead. The song was later available for play on [[AC BISTROVER|beatmania IIDX 28 BISTROVER]].


The third phase eventually did not happen and both it and a whole second unlock event were replaced by Qprogue DX as a last-ditch effort to quit development on SPADA and move to [[AC PENDUAL|PENDUAL]]. Most of the songs and CS unlocks of Qprogue DX were likely part of this cut second event. PENDUAL's Q-Pro data referenced an "Elferia" army and an "Imperial" army which might have been the focus of the second event. 煉獄のエルフェリア could not have been the real final SPADA boss song as there wasn't a [[Toshiyuki Kakuta|L.E.D.]] one yet (the only IIDX style without a L.E.D. exclusive unlock since L.E.D. himself started to make them in the series), who at that time was always in charge of final boss songs.
=== SHADOW REBELLION.VI and VII ===
[[Image:SR7.png|thumb|SHADOW REBELLION.VII's unused result screen, which depicts Shizuku Yamashina (イリィガル・ベイス・メディスン's character) in place of the sixth SHADOW REBELLION.]]
* ''SHADOW REBELLION'' is the EXTRA STAGE system of beatmania IIDX 27 HEROIC VERSE. It was originally planned to have eight parts, but it was later modified to have seven instead. After resuming the event in June with [[STOIC HYPOTHESIS]], the next part was originally set to be [[Bad sweets, bad dreams|イリィガル・ベイス・メディスン]]. This song was mistakenly revealed on the game's official website for a short period of time in July 2020, which was when it was scrapped and replaced instead by the seventh SHADOW REBELLION song, [[Miwaku no YUMMY sweets|魅惑のYUMMYスイーツ]]. The reason for this change is unknown.
** This is evidenced by the unused results screen for SHADOW REBELLION.VII, which shows the [[Pastel-kun]] Q-pro from 魅惑のYUMMYスイーツ in front and the six other SHADOW REBELLION Q-pros behind it, including Shizuku Yamashina (who was the character for イリィガル・ベイス・メディスン).
** The modification date for the results screen of SHADOW REBELLION.VII is much earlier (July 2020) than those of VI (August 2020) and FINAL (October 2020), implying that the plans were changed around July 2020.
** Dummied out data for イリィガル・ベイス・メディスン's Shizuku Yamashina Q-pro parts can be found in the game.


Interestingly, compared to other IIDX events, Qprogue's medal list did not sort songs in the order they were unlocked within the game - it was either random or sorted by when they were added to the data. Even more strangely, ''SUPER STAR -MITSURU- Perfect Revival'' medal entries were part of Qprogue's list, which added even more questions to the weird nature of Qprogue's development.
== [[AC BISTROVER|beatmania IIDX 28 BISTROVER]] ==
* LEGGENDARIA charts for [[NO CRIME|NΦ CRIME]] can be found unused in the BISTROVER HDD. These charts were eventually added as day one hidden charts in [[AC RESIDENT|beatmania IIDX 30 RESIDENT]].


Overall, the only known song that was cut from Qprogue was [[Broken Sword]], which premiered in PENDUAL instead.

* [[Remember remember|リメンバーリメンバー]] / [[Rino Madoka|rino]] & [[m@sumi]] from plastic penguin
** An early screenshot of the BeatStream song selection screen shows a handful of songs that do not appear in this game. With the exceptions of JOMANDA and spring pony, which appeared in [[AC BST AnimTribe|its sequel]], none of these songs would appear in the series [https://www.4gamer.net/games/247/G024776/20140213116/] [https://www.4gamer.net/games/247/G024776/20140213116/SS/005.jpg].


=== Spada†leggendaria ===
== [[AC BST AnimTribe|BeatStream アニムトライヴ]] ==
Spada†leggendaria saw an eighth, truly final song being cut. A result banner showing the Spada†leggendaria chamber from above alongside all seven swords (including the usual "Spada†leggendaria - SECRET MUSIC UNLOCKED" text) was left unused in the data. This song is wrongly assumed to be [[Broken Sword]] (which was part of Qprogue instead) and there is no info on what it could have been.  
* [[Koisuru uchuu sensou!!|恋する☆宇宙戦争っ!!]] / [[Mayumi Morinaga|Prim]]
** 恋する☆宇宙戦争っ!! received a NIGHTMARE chart during the location test of BeatStream アニムトライヴ, when it was still known as BeatStream2. This chart never appeared in the final release of BeatStream アニムトライヴ.


It was likely going to be a ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE song (while SPADA ended up having none, it still had image text for it) but the newly introduced PASELI features in SPADA probably caused issues, and so the idea was dropped, leaving [[Verflucht]] as the final song of the event and last overall exclusive song of the style.
= DanceDanceRevolution =


= DanceDanceRevolution =
Due to the sheer size of this section, it has been moved to [[What Could Have Been: DanceDanceRevolution|its own page]].
== [[CS DDR ULTRAMIX|DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX]] ==
* ULTRAMIX was initally planned for the PC, and was meant to be a sequel to [[CS DDR PC|DanceDanceRevolution (PC)]]. Screenshots of this game resembled more of its predecessor, and featured a new cast of dancers. However, it ended up shifting development to the Xbox, and the overall design was re-worked. This may explain why ULTRAMIX had very few new songs, due to its development.


== [[CS DDR PS3|DanceDanceRevolution (PS3)]] ==
= Dance Maniax =
* DanceDanceRevolution (PS3) was announced at E3 2009. What was shown was drastically different from the final game. The interface resembled more of [[AC DDR X2|DanceDanceRevolution X2]], and had dance stages and characters in it. It also featured Octo-Mode which made it into the final game, but only on CHALLENGE charts. It was also to feature custom themes, Edit Mode and DLC from all the mainline arcade games up to this point. While the DLC made it into the finished product, the song packs were based on the US PS2 releases instead. The songlist was also based on [[CS DDR HOTTEST PARTY3|DanceDanceRevolution HOTTEST PARTY3]] as well.
== [[AC DMX|Dance Maniax]] ==  
* Files found in the game's database reveal early concept art of the game's songwheel interface with the song titles displayed in a circular wheel and different artwork appeared for each of the songs.
== [[AC DMX 2nd|Dance Maniax 2ndMIX]] ==
* [[VIRTUAL MIND]]'s original title was '''The Matrix''', after one of the first lines in the song. KONAMI forced Thomas Howard to choose a different name for the song, since the 1999 movie ''The Matrix'' was being advertised by the time he wrote the lyrics to said song [https://youtu.be/g2eVNzSBWfo?t=1409]. He wrote down a long list of alternative titles; VIRTUAL MIND ended up being chosen.


== [[CS DDR EXTREME US|DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME (US)]] ==
= DANCERUSH STARDOM =
* The beta showed a interface resembling the [[AC DDR EXTREME|arcade version]], as well as featuring dance characters from [[CS DDR Party Collection|Party Collection]].
* [[EZ DO DANCE]] / TRF
* [[Sweet Sweet Magic|Sweet Sweet ♥ Magic]] was going to be featured on this game. It made it into the following game instead.
** Data for the original version of EZ DO DANCE can be found in DANCERUSH STARDOM.

== [[AC GF|GUITARFREAKS]] ==
* The background animations of [[LUCKY? STAFF]] contain the screenshots of the title and result screens of '''RIFF & GIG''', which was the prototype of GUITARFREAKS. The [https://web.archive.org/web/20150815235439/http://www.konami.jp/am/guitar/guitar6/chaya/1/chaya_1.html GUITARFREAKS 6thMIX & drummania 5thMIX website] also features a page with a gameplay screenshot of said prototype.
* Based on unused graphics and audio data found in the game, it seems the EXTREME difficulty was going to debut in this game. It was later added to [[AC GF2|GUITARFREAKS 2ndMIX]].
== [[AC DM|drummania]] ==
* 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://web.archive.org/web/20210721124051if_/https://twitter.com/oyakodon_oniku/status/1417825754948067335].
== [[AC GF3|GUITARFREAKS 3rdMIX]] ==
* [[DOUBLE ORBIT]] / [[Mutsuhiko Izumi|泉 陸奥彦]]
** BGM data for this song can be found in GUITARFREAKS 3rdMIX. While the song never appeared in the GuitarFreaks series, it is playable in both [[Riff Riff Paradise|Riff]] [[Riff Riff Orbit|Riff]] medleys, which contain the song.
== [[AC GF7DM6|GUITARFREAKS 7thMIX & drummania 6thMIX]] ==
* According to [[Takuya Kobayashi|tQy]] on the [[AC GFDM V2|GuitarFreaks V2 & DrumMania V2]] official website's "V"STUDIO2 section, [[COSMIC COWGIRL]] was almost cut from the game due to space issues.
== [[AC GF8DM7|GUITARFREAKS 8thMIX & drummania 7thMIX]] ==
* [[Daikenkai|大見解]] / [[Osamu Migitera|Des-ROW]]・[[ALPHA|組]]
* [[Ringo to hachimitsu|林檎と蜂蜜]] / [[Hideyuki Ono|亜熱帯マジ-SKA爆弾]] feat. [[MAKI]]
** Graphics for these two pop'n music crossovers can be found in the GUITARFREAKS 8thMIX & drummania 7thMIX data. These songs would later appear in [[AC GF9DM8|the next release]].
== [[CS GFDM MPS|GuitarFreaks & DrumMania MASTERPIECE SILVER]] ==
* Graphical data for the licensed song [[Boyfriend|ボーイフレンド]] can be found within the game's files, suggesting it was going to make its CS debut in the game.
** Graphics and code for a scrapped course, labeled as '''00s'''', can also be found in the game data, which would have used this song.
== [[AC GFDM V8|GuitarFreaks V8 & DrumMania V8]] ==
* [[Lepton]] / [[TIME CAPSULE Lab.]]
** Lepton, a song from [[AC GFDM XG2|GuitarFreaksXG2 & DrumManiaXG2 Groove to Live]], has complete charts that are made for the classic series of GuitarFreaks & DrumMania. This may have indicated a potential appearance in GuitarFreaks V8 & DrumMania V8 with all new songs with CLASSIC MODE charts being playable there. However, Lepton's classic series charts remain in the XG2 data yet are not found in the GuitarFreaks V8 & DrumMania V8 data.
== [[AC GFDM XG3|GuitarFreaksXG3 & DrumManiaXG3]] ==
* [[5-10]] / [[Tatsuya Furukawa|good-cool]] ft.近藤葵
** Full chart data for this revival from [[AC GFDM V4|GuitarFreaks V4 & DrumMania V4 Яock×Rock]] was found in GuitarFreaksXG3 & DrumManiaXG3, and an updated jacket was added to this data in [[AC GD|GITADORA]]. However, this song would not be playable until [[AC GD Tri-Boost Re:EVOLVE|GITADORA Tri-Boost Re:EVOLVE]], over five years after the initial inclusion of its data.
== [[AC GD EXCHAIN|GITADORA EXCHAIN]] ==
* [[Little Little Princess]] / [[Jun Wakita|SHRINE]] [[Yuei Uematsu|418]]
** An unused jacket for this [[AC HAPPY SKY|beatmania IIDX 12 HAPPY SKY]] song can be found in the game's data.

* [[Concertino in Blue]] / [[Hirofumi Sasaki|佐々木博史]]
** Its jacket can be found in the data of MÚSECA 1+1/2, highly likely that it was planned to be one of the unlocks of the ''Premium Friday'' (プレミアムフライデー) event but never finalized due to the halt of MÚSECA's development.

= ParaParaParadise =
== [[AC PPP 1st Plus|ParaParaParadise 1st MIX Plus]] ==
* Based on early chart files found in the data of [[AC PPD|ParaParaDancing]], it is presumed that [[Feeling of love -super euro version-]] was going to use a longer cut, which included the third and fourth verses not present in the final release.


= pop'n music =
= pop'n music =
== [[AC pnm|pop'n music]] ==
[[Image:UncleJam illust.png|thumb|UNCLE Jam's sketch.]]
* pop'n music was first unveiled at the [http://furimuki.sakura.ne.jp/2/page9809.html AM Show 1998], where it showed some differences compared with the final release of the game:
** pop-kuns were rectangle-shaped.
** The red judgment line at the bottom of the screen was absent.
** [[UNCLE Jam]]'s name was capitalized as '''UNCLE JAM'''.
* The ''pop'n music character illustration book'' includes early sketches for the characters of the first game, alongside their respective genres. The genre for [[YOUNG DREAM|UNCLE Jam]]'s song appears as '''HIP HOP''' instead of RAP.
== [[AC pnm 3|pop'n music 3]] ==
* [[Surechigau futari|すれちがう二人]] / [[Hiroshi Takeyasu|aprésmidi]]
** Graphics for this song can be found within the game's data, suggesting it was not planned to be removed. Considering that in this game, all songs from the [[AC pnm|original pop'n music]] are only playable in HYPER mode, there's a possibility すれちがう二人 would have gotten HYPER charts as well.
== [[CS pnm 5|pop'n music 5 CS]] ==
[[Image:pnm 5 1-3.png|thumb|pop'n music 5 1/3's logo as it appears on the trademark filing.]]
* Trademark filings indicate that the game was originally going to be titled '''pop'n music 5 1/3''', the "1/3" coming from the fact that a third of [[AC pnm 6|pop'n music 6]]'s songlist appears as preview songs [https://twitter.com/kei_conv/status/1625695580122148864].
== [[AC pnm 6|pop'n music 6]] ==
* [[AC pnm 2|pop'n music 2]] song [[what i want (EURO MIX)]] was originally going to be revived for the ''Euro Course'' (ユーロコース), making it into the location test version of the game. The final game however, replaces it with [[Bit of Love]], with what i want (EURO MIX) not being featured in the game at all. This change was reverted in the [[CS pnm 6|console version of pop'n music 6]], though.
== [[CS pnm 8|pop'n music 8 CS]] ==
* Licensed songs [[THUNDER BIRDS]] and [[Minashigo Hutch|みなしごハッチ]] were planned to be included in this game, as graphical data for their respective rival characters can be found in the data.
== [[AC pnm 9|pop'n music 9]] ==
* Various scrapped cafe designs for characters can be found in one of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20150507105214/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/music9/peace/cafe.html pop'n music 9 Peace Pages]. Most notable among them are [[BAMBOO]] and [[the KING]], neither character whom made it to the final version of the game.
== [[CS pnm 10|pop'n music 10 CS]] ==
* [[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.
== [[AC pnm 11|pop'n music 11]] ==
=== [[Line Times]]' EX chart ===
Line Times, a [[CS pnm 8|pop'n music 8 CS]] song, first appeared in arcades in pop'n music 11. However, its EX chart from the console releases was not playable in arcades, despite its data existing in the hard drive for every arcade game since its debut. No official reason for its absence was given by the staff, save for a vague "In the world, there are lots of mysterious things" [https://web.archive.org/web/20150507152831if_/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/music11/qa/03.html].
Line Times' EX chart would finally appear in [[AC pnm peace|pop'n music peace]] as an unlockable chart.
=== Planned URA charts ===
References to 3P palettes for [[SPICY PIECE|CHARLY]], [[Camomile bathroom|risette]], [[birds|SANAE♥chan]], and [[Oedo hanafubuki|S・8・TARO]] can be found in the pop'n music data, named with the same suffix for the 3P palettes used in URA charts. Of these 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].


== [[PnM_AC_9|pop'n music 9]] ==
== [[AC pnm 15|pop'n music 15 ADVENTURE]] ==
* [[the KING]] was planned to be in the game, dressed up as either a chef or fast food employee. He never made it to the final version of the game.
* [[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. [https://web.archive.org/web/20150507184148fw_/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/music15/mc/13/13_02.html]
* [[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 be in pop'n music 15 ADVENTURE, though.


== [[PnM_AC_11|pop'n music 11]] ==
== [[CS pnm BnG|Beat'n Groovy]] ==
* [[Line Times]] / [[Junichiro Kaneda|Waldeus von dövjak]]
* References to downloadable content can be found within the game's data, though the game never had any DLC.
** Line Times' EX chart, to this day, has never been playable in an arcade release of pop'n music, despite HDD data for its EX chart existing in every arcade game since its debut.
* While the maximum difficulty for any of the game's charts is 3, there are unused graphics for difficulties from 4 to 8.
* A banner for [[Votum stellarum]] can be found within the game's files; complete data for the song can also be found within a prototype of the game dated May 13th, 2008.
* Text references to [[Hell? or Heaven?]], [[HypArcSin(x)]] and [[Raspberry Heart|Raspberry ♥ Heart]] can be found within the game's executable.


== [[PnM_AC_Usagi_to_neko_to_shounen_no_yume|pop'n music うさぎと猫と少年の夢]] ==
== [[CS pnm Wii NA|pop'n music (Wii)]] ==
* According to the second page of this [http://p.eagate.573.jp/game/bemani/fansite/p/report/2016w/report03.html?page=2 うさぎと猫と少年の夢 article], the game was originally going to have a diner theme, not unlike [[PnM_AC_9|pop'n music 9]]'s café one, before the staff went with a steampunk layout.
* [[Every Little Step]] / Bobby Brown
* [[MAGICAL VOICE SHOWER]] / [[Ucchies|ウッチーズ]]
* [[Temperature]] / Sean Paul
** Complete data for these three songs, including music and charts, can be found unused within the game's files. The former song would later appear in [[CS pnm Wii EU|pop'n rhythm]], the game's European release.
 
== [[AC pnm 18|pop'n music 18 せんごく列伝]] ==
* Graphical data for EXPERT can be found on the HDD, revealing that the original theme for pop'n music 18 was city/town based, not unlike [[AC pnm 19|TUNE STREET]]. This suggests that EXPERT was dropped early on the game's development, making pop'n music 18 the first game since the debut of courses in [[AC pnm 6|pop'n music 6]] to not have the mode.
** There is placeholder data for EXPERT MODE courses, which uses [[AC pnm 17|THE MOVIE]]'s courses, further suggesting that the mode was dropped before the final theme was decided.
* [[smooooch|smooooch・∀・]] was supposed to appear [https://web.archive.org/web/20170812202527/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/music19/mc/11/candy.html in the game]. Sound director [[Jun Wakita|wac]] scrapped the idea because he felt the song clashed too much with the game's sengoku period theme. It eventually found its way into the next pop'n music game, TUNE STREET.
 
== [[AC pnm 19|pop'n music 19 TUNE STREET]] ==
* [[AC jb ripples APPEND|jubeat ripples APPEND]] transplant [[Shounen ripples|少年リップルズ]]'s original genre was going to be '''J-POP NOW!''' according to [https://web.archive.org/web/20180104152658/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/music19/mc/15/ripples.html wac]. He decided against it and went with its final genre '''EMOCTRO''' instead.
* [[MVA]] was supposed to be [https://web.archive.org/web/20170623185338/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/music19/mc/14/score.html 540 BPM originally], but sound director [[Daichi Watanabe|PON]] silently declined [[Toshiyuki Kakuta|L.E.D.]] doing so. The song remained at 270 BPM in the final release.
** Note chart maker/sound director [[Jun Wakita|wac]] also thought of keeping the song at 540 BPM, and even thought of making it ''1080'' BPM. He didn't go through after worry that "no one would play it".
*** He also thought of adding a middle slowdown to 135/67.5 BPM, but decided against it after worry people would complain.
 
== [[AC pnm Sunny Park|pop'n music Sunny Park]] ==
<gallery class="center">

</gallery>
* In the Sunny Park location tests, none of the songs had banners. This was eventually reverted in the final release of the game due to players complaining about being used to finding songs through their banners.
* Graphics for [[Kumikyoku|組曲『 』]] by →Pia-no-jaC← were present when pop'n music Sunny Park was released, including its banner, background, and a unique portrait for SMOKE. However, its charts and sound data were never available. With the exception of the unique portrait for SMOKE, all references for 組曲『 』 were removed from later builds of the game.
 
== [[AC pnm Usaneko|pop'n music うさぎと猫と少年の夢]] ==
* According to the second page of this [http://p.eagate.573.jp/game/bemani/fansite/p/report/2016w/report03.html?page=2 うさぎと猫と少年の夢 article], the game was originally going to have a diner theme, not unlike [[AC pnm 9|pop'n music 9]]'s café one, before the staff went with a steampunk layout.
* A placeholder image for a new portrait for SHOKO can be found among the pop'n music うさぎと猫と少年の夢 characters. However, given that there are no placeholders for her new animations in the data, it would likely recycle either her [[fragments]] or [[Remember remember|リメンバーリメンバー]] animations.
 
== [[AC pnm Kaimei riddles|pop'n music 解明リドルズ]] ==
* [[Wish]] could be seen in a promotional screenshot [https://twitter.com/wgy_muyu/status/1336255009193742341]. It never appeared in the final game, although its data still remains in the game.
* Rival character JOMANDA has a placeholder portrait for a 解明リドルズ song. No new song featuring that character appears in the final game.
** Similarly, the character [[Mimi]] [[Nyami]] from [[Sekai no hate ni yakusoku no gaika wo|世界の果てに約束の凱歌を]] has a placeholder portrait for a 2P palette, but the character only has one palette in the final game.
* A Ranking (ランキング) section was present in the [http://web.archive.org/web/20220519221522/https://p.eagate.573.jp/game/popn/riddles/ranking/index.html game website since launch date], which was planned to be used for when Score Challenge (スコアチャレンジ) would resume from [[AC pnm peace|pop'n music peace]]. However, as Score challenge was never added back to 解明リドルズ, the Ranking section was removed from the website on October 12th, 2022.
** Furthermore, unused graphical data for Score Challenge can be found in the pop'n music 解明リドルズ data as well.

== [[AC RB groovin'!! Upper|REFLEC BEAT groovin'!! Upper]] ==
* [[Real]] / [[Aya Sakuma|Aya]]
** Sound data for this beatmania IIDX song can be found in the game's files. Its internal ID is the same one used for [[Dandandou|男々道]], indicating it was supposed to appear as part of the 8th Set ([[Takahiro Fukase|PHQUASE]]'s SELECTION) of the ''BEMANI MUSIC FOCUS'' unlocking system, but was replaced.
 
== [[AC RB VOLZZA|REFLEC BEAT VOLZZA]] ==
* Graphical data can be found for two additional minigames that were to be playable during matching: a sequel to REFTIS titled ''REFTIS II パステリアンのざいほう'', and a pizza delivery-themed minigame called ''VOLZZA DE PIZZA''.

=== DJ YOSHITAKA Song Remix Contest ===
On October 19th, 2016, it was announced that a remix contest involving songs composed by [[Yoshitaka Nishimura]] was planned to be held. [https://p.eagate.573.jp/game/bemani/fansite/p/news/detail.html?post_id=10242779] The event never ended up happening in [[AC SDVX IV|SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN]].

* Data for several BEMANI crossovers can be found in the game files, but none of these songs were ever added to the final version of ''ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom Ver.2''. Notably, all of these songs have appeared in the DanceDanceRevolution series (except [[Burning Heat! (Full Option Mix)]], which has [[BURNING HEAT!(3 Option MIX)|a shorter remix]] featured in that series instead), with several being added to the series in [[AC DDR 2014|DanceDanceRevolution (2014)]]. The sound director of the ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom series, [[Yuichi Asami]], would return to becoming the sound director of the DanceDanceRevolution series starting in [[AC DDR 2014|DanceDanceRevolution (2014)]] after ''ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom Ver.2'' ended.

* According to [[Yasuhiro Taguchi|TAG]] on the [https://p.eagate.573.jp/game/2dx/mobile/top/info/2021/touhou_ultimate_weapon.html BEMANI presents 東方ULTIMATE WEAPON website], he wanted to remix a Touhou song for the ''BEMANI×東方Project Ultimate MasterPieces'' album back in 2015. However, he was far too busy at the time with [[AC DDR 2014|DanceDanceRevolution (2014)]] and [[AC DanEvo|DanceEvolution ARCADE]], among other BEMANI songs, to contribute. TAG would finally do a Touhou remix near six years later on [[BEMANI presents Touhou ULTIMATE WEAPON|BEMANI presents 東方 ULTIMATE WEAPON]] an album of Touhou remixes made for [[CS ULTIMATE MOBILE|beatmania IIDX ULTIMATE MOBILE]], with the song [[Muishiki no philosophia|無意識のフィロソフィア]].

* [[AC tricoro|beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro]] song [[Re:GENERATION]] was originally written for the album, but didn't appear because it wasn't 180 BPM, nor a remix of a previous BEMANI song.

* According to L.E.D.'s song comments for [[PSYCHE PLANET-GT]] on the [[AC EMPRESS|beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS]] website, he had the option of either remixing [[PLASMA]] or Psyche Planet-V for the album; he chose the latter.
** He also mentioned he want to remix [[ANDROMEDA]], but [[Sota Fujimori|Sota]] refused to let him.
