This game has hidden development-related text. This game has unused modes / minigames. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused music.

Quite possibly the only Disney Dance Dance Revolution game one can take seriously. The same day, it was also released for the PlayStation in Japan.

Unused Graphics

Earlier Banners

Located within GAME.DAT are many .TIM files labeled as m_mtitle[ID]. These are earlier renditions of banners for several of the game's songs, as well as for several unreleased songs (see below). They are also smaller in resolution (256x40 compared to the final banners' 512x80).

Curiously, a bigger version of the early banner for Night of Fire also exists, as file y_title01.tim.

ParaPara Mode

The game contains remnants for an unused fourth difficulty, labeled "ParaPara". Levels are always displayed as five question marks, and trying to play any song crashes the game. Curiously, the slot this difficulty is placed in is the same as of Super Maniac charts in Dancing Stage featuring True Kiss Destination and Dancing Stage featuring Dreams Come True.

Unused Couple Mode

While the game technically "has" a Couple mode, the Single charts are always loaded for each player, though it might not have always been the case, as there are still remnants of a proper Couple mode in the game, including an unused setting in which the difficulty levels in the song selection menu become blue, as well as ratings still being intact. Trying to select any song crashes the game.
Curiously, some of these Couple ratings have non-whole values, much like the previous two "Dancing Stage featuring" games.
