There are two unused sequences for [[Spaceball|Air Batter]] which cannot be accessed through [[Sequence Test]]. Both of them use "Game Select 2" as the music. Both play similarly to the regular game, though they end with a slight speed up, during which the batter hits stars (which are not seen anywhere else) before finally hitting the rice ball<ref>[https://youtu.be/FjTpAly5ngo Unused Spaceball]</ref>. The second variation has the regular baseballs, and some camera zooms associated with them, on the offbeat, as well as a kick drum on the onbeats to help with the timing. The music fades in at first, and plays later than in the first variation<ref>[https://youtu.be/gZ0Uxa4vJTw Unused Spaceball 2]</ref>. The ideas of offbeat baseballs and the speed up can be seen in [[Air Batter 2]] in the final game, making it possible these are early versions of it. Interestingly, the music for [[Spaceball|Air Batter]] is internally labeled "s_shibafu1_bgm" while "Game Select 2" is "s_shibafu2_bgm".

There are various unused sprites in the game, those being a flowerpot with a face, an apple and the aforementioned star. The latter two are replacements for the baseballs, and have smaller variants for the zoom outs as well.

In [[Rhythm Tengoku/Arcade|the arcade exclusive]] [[Air Batter Tempo Up!|Air Batter]] [[File:TempoUpExtra4.png|72px|link=Air Batter Tempo Up!]], the swinging animation resets to idle before the final frame can be displayed due to the higher speed, leaving it unused.

Within the prologue file for [[Spaceball]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]'', the text pane has placeholder text naming the game {{Nihongo|Air Batter}}. In the English versions, this is replaced with the name {{Nihongo|Spaceball}} during gameplay. In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Sesang: The Best+]]'', this placeholder text matches the used name.

There are unused sprites of a leaf mask<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Rhythm_Heaven_Megamix/Unused_Graphics#Lush_Remix Rhythm Heaven Megamix/Unused Graphics - The Cutting Room Floor]</ref> as a replacement for the bunny mask, and unused animations of [[Space Umpire]], which are much larger than his regular sprites, outside his spaceship dancing, both found in [[Lush Remix]].
