A shoshinsha mark graphic, possibly intended to be displayed in songs with a rating of 2 or lower in Basic, as is in Dance Dance Revolution 5thMix and its home port.

Long Marker

A "long" marker, meant to be used to denote Long Version songs, which are absent from this game.

Early Title Tags

Earlier versions of title tags for three songs can be found in CARD.DAT. However, their data was partially overwritten, resulting in a corrupted mess.

TRANCE DE JANEIRO

Earlier renditions of graphics for the song TRANCE DE JANEIRO (SAMBA DE JANEIRO 2002 Epic Vocal Mix) can also be found in CARD.DAT. What is interesting to notice is that these lack the song's subtitle.

A huge number of announcer lines from 3rdMix and 4thMix are present in CARD.DAT, sandwiching the announcer files that are actually used in this game.
