Unused Content

The Assistant has an unused sprite part with her hand pointing in the air, with her arm being shorter than the sprite part used for the "secretary_body_sign" animation (when she gives the cue to stop all at once). It was likely meant to be an in-between frame of the animation.

There are unused animations in Board Meeting of the Assistant going through a hole in the floor and coming back with a glass of water on a plate.

In the Remix 9 version of Board Meeting, the Drum Girls from Rhythm Tengoku make an appearance in the background. Although the Assistant replaces the girl with the bass, there is a sprite for her still, as well an alternate arrangement of sprites with all three Drum Girls included. There is also an unused sprite of the puffy neck piece of the Girl's outfit from Tap Trial 2, darkened like the Drum Girls, suggesting it was to be used in the background in some way.

Regional Differences

The last "One, two, three!" in Board Meeting has the timing of the English voice clip altered in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise due to it being on the offbeat. This change is also carried over to Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In Rhythm World Wii and Rhythm Sesang: The Best+, there is a separate voice clip for it.

Miscellaneous

The Japanese voice clip for "One, two, three!" (一緒に！^?, Issho ni!) is repurposed from an unused voice clip from Rhythm Heaven.

Rhythm Heaven Megamix

Board Meeting consists of the following versions in Rhythm Heaven Megamix:

Unused Content

According to the debug menu of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, a short version of Board Meeting was planned. This is further supported by the existence of strings for the short version's Rhythm Item in Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+'s data, though the description is blank. There are also unused textures for the item and epilogue, the latter of which are also only found in Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+.

	Let's table this for now...	Business is turning around!	Congratulations, Mr. Chairman!

In "pajama.zlib/layout.msbt", there is an entry labeled "prologue_rvlRotation2_T_2" containing the text "かえってきた". If used, it would produce the name かえってきた 重役会議 (Kaettekita Jūyaku Kaigi^?, Board Meeting Returns). Additionally, the prologue file Board Meeting is internally named "prologue_rvlRotation2", matching with "epilogue_rvlRotation" being the above mentioned unused epilogue images for the short version, and "epilogue_rvlRotation2" being the used ones for the long version. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix and Rhythm Paradise Megamix, the text pane in this prologue file has placeholder text writing the name as BoardMeeting, without a space. In the English versions, this is properly written as Board Meeting during gameplay. In Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+, this is instead a picture pane, using a pre-made texture as it was in Minna no Rhythm Tengoku, while Rhythm Sesang: The Best+ uses its proper title of 임원 회의 (Im-won Hoeui^?, Executives Meeting).

The unused sprites and animations from Rhythm Heaven Fever exist in Rhythm Heaven Megamix as well.
