[[File:Rhythm Tengoku Unused Gameplay Counts Power Calligraphy 2.png|thumb]]
There is data showing that [[Power Calligraphy]] was once intended to have an arrange version. While there is no playable data for it, there is a string for its name, that being {{Nihongo|リズムお習字 2|Rhythm o Shuji 2}}. It also reuses the Game Select icon, description, and epilogue text from the long version, presumably as placeholders. The player's score and [[Rank]] on [[Rhythm o Shuji 2]] is also stored in memory.
There is an unused gameplay history screen in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' which can be accessed through [[Sequence Test]], which lists all the games and things in the [[Medal Corner|Omaku Corner]], the average score the player currently has (using a numbering system from 0 to 1000 which is hidden from the player in normal gameplay), and the amount of plays. Among the games is a string reading {{Nihongo|リズムお習字 2|Rhythm o Shuji 2}}.

{{Todo|The decompilation project seems to suggest this one may have its own epilogue graphics. While it's likely just duplicates, it would be nice to make sure.}}

There is an unused gameplay history screen in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' which can be accessed through [[Sequence Test]], which lists all the games and things in the [[Medal Corner|Omaku Corner]], the average score the player currently has (using a numbering system from 0 to 1000 which is hidden from the player in normal gameplay), and the amount of plays. {{Nihongo|リズムお習字 2|Rhythm o Shuji 2}}'s save data can be found here as well.


In the game's RAM, there is an area which keeps track of the player's [[Rank]] on each [[Rhythm Game]], with the one for arrange versions being directly after the equivalent long version. There is a byte just after the one for [[Power Calligraphy|Rhythm o Shuji]], reserved for [[Rhythm o Shuji 2]]. Changing it does affect the rank in the gameplay history screen, but it has no effect on the Game Select. There is no playable data of this game.
There is an unused effect showing energy escaping the hand after the player performs a stroke. There is also an unused effect that causes the brush to produce ink particles that expand outwards, grow larger, and then concentrate back on the brush.


There is an unused function that causes the brush to produce round particles that expand outwards, grow larger, and then concentrate back on the brush.
An unused version of the [[Practice]] theme used in [[The☆Bon Odori]] and [[Power Calligraphy]] (labeled "s_mario2_4"), sounds like the used version ("s_mario2"), but with a flute playing a simple melody that resembles the lyrics used in [[The☆Bon Odori (song)|The☆Bon Odori]]<ref>[https://youtu.be/5mfWJf-r4J0?t=7 Unused Practice Music Restored]</ref>. There are also unused duplicates labeled "s_mario1" and "s_mario1_2", as well as the similarly named files "s_mario_melo1" and "s_mario_melo2", which is fittingly enough an excerpt of the Ground Theme from [[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]] The filename similarities may suggest it was intended to play alongside the theme itself<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJHDndc_AEc The Secret of the Unused Practice Music]</ref>.


In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)]]'', the sprites for the [[Mini Chounin]] contain an unused set of numbers from 1 to 6.
