Tetsuya Mizuguchi's reboot on the 1999 Wonderswan game, now with a few more game modes and a somewhat new concept totally not borrowed from Lumines for "skins".

Unused Graphics

Unused Skins Eight unused skins, or at least, the graphics that remained of them.

Other Unused Banners

The skins Light Ray, DICE, The Afroman in Friday's Cafe, and 9Lazy-Kangaroo have banners, also found in USRDIR\CDIMAGE\IMAGE\RESULT.tpk. Considering that these four skins are available by default, and that banners are only displayed when a skin is unlocked, these go unused. Note that the files don't actually have proper names - they are taken from the name of the .tm2 file converted to create the .gim, present at the end of the filedata.

Unused Sounds

A sound effect pack which doesn't seem to be assigned to any skin is present at USRDIR\CDIMAGE\SOUND\WAVE\SE_STR.tpk. Although it has music files, present at USRDIR\CDIMAGE\SOUND\STR, they are duplicates of the ones from the skin Sphere of control, whose ID is SOL.
