Unused Graphics
Stored at offset 0x28000 of the third graphics ROMs (853jaa07.22d and 853jaa08.23d), alongside some of the gameplay HUD graphics, are squares. These were part of an audio visualizer graphic which was seen in an early mockup screenshot of the original beatmania.
Song Selection
A hidden debug feature allows the player to freely select a song by holding down the Test button and pressing a combination of keys at the same time in the song selection screen. It should be noted that this doesn't work while Event Mode is turned on.
