Unused Mode

The Solo mode, which was a feature in some versions of Dance Dance Revolution 4thMix and 4thMix PLUS, is still in the game's coding, and can be enabled with the following MAME cheat:

    <cheat desc="Enable 6 Panel/Solo Mode">
        <script state="run">
            <action>maincpu.pd@8001c1d4=34020001</action>
        </script>
        <script state="off">
            <action>maincpu.pd@8001c1d4=00001021</action>
        </script>
    </cheat>

There's also assets from DDRMAX's how to play sequence that go unused as well:

Song Selection Screen

This shoshinsha mark graphic might have been 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.

Freeze!

The unused Freeze! judgment, which would have likely appeared when holding a Freeze Arrow, returns here.

Unused Charts

Hmmm...
To do:
Are there any more of those?

By performing a bug in the Nonstop and Challenge modes, it is possible to access otherwise unused charts in several songs:

Song Difficulty(ies) Comment
Aoi shoudou ~for EXTREME~ Double Challenge Consists of a single 2P-down arrow at the very end of the song.
DAM DARIRAM Single Challenge
Double Challenge
Perhaps the most well-known of the game's hidden charts, the Single Oni and Double Oni charts for DAM DARIRAM don't seem to fit the song entirely. In fact, these have been long rumoured to belong to the song Give It Up by Captain Jack, which was never featured in the series.
DROP OUT (FROM NONSTOP MEGAMIX) Single Expert
Double Expert
Aside from not containing the 16th arrows near the end of the song, it is otherwise identical to the Challenge charts.
HIGHER (next morning mix) Single Expert Consists entirely of left arrows.
Last Message Single Challenge Likely a placeholder. Consists of a glitched section in the middle of the song, followed entirely by left arrows.
LOVE SHINE Single Challenge A perfectly reasonable chart, strangely left unused.
Contains rhythms similiar to those of the Double Expert chart.
MY SUMMER LOVE (TOMMY'S SMILE MIX) Single Expert Aside from removing some 16th notes, it is otherwise identical to the Challenge chart.
