Dance Dance Revolution Disney Channel Edition would have been a standard casual game in the series featuring songs from TV shows and movies aired at Disney Channel, if it were not for its sync issues, strange censoring of song titles, and ludicrous unlock requirements. It's also notable for featuring Disney Channel characters as selectable dancers, such as Kim Possible, Hannah Montana, and three of the four Cheetah Girls.

Unused Song Remnants

Throughout the game's data are several leftovers for fifteen unused songs, Disney Channel licenses and returning Konami originals alike. Curiously, the former songs are master recordings, and not covers like the used licenses. They all have graphic and video data, but some don't have proper music files, and none of them have any charts nor are listed on any songlist indexes.

I will be around

ID: arou

Refers to the Nick Whittaker song, as featured in the 2006 movie Read it and Weep. Its movie doesn't have a Disney Channel transition at the beginning; the background simply fades into the animation; this is common to all unused licenses. Additionally, the song's cut has a second verse section that is not heard anywhere; the version heard in the movie goes from the first chorus to the bridge.

Brilliant R-E-D

ID: bred

Refers to the Konami original song by NAOKI feat. Becky Lucinda, which first appeared in Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3. Its original graphics from that game were retained (a trait that, in used songs, is only seen in Rock-a-billy Willy), but it gained a new video. No proper music files exist.

DYNAMITE RAVE

ID: dyna

Refers to the Konami original song by NAOKI, which originates from Dance Dance Revolution 3rdMIX. No proper music files exist, and the song retains its video from Dance Dance Revolution Extreme2 (a trait that, in used songs, is only seen in Sakura and Sweet Sweet Love Magic).

All good now

ID: good

Refers to the Sheila McCarthy song, as featured in the 2006 movie Cow Belles. The song cut also seems to be taken from an unreleased full version of the song, as the second chorus section is slightly extended.

Refers to the Konami original song by Jesper Kyd, which first appeared in Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2. Its banner is twice the size of a standard one; very few songs in this game, including unused ones, have this distinction.

Girl Power (Remix)

ID: powr

Refers to the remix of the song from the 2003 film The Cheetah Girls, as featured in The Cheetah Girls - Special Edition Soundtrack album. The Cheetah Girls is the only movie represented in the final game that also has unused songs; the background for this unused song is a slightly earlier rendition which positions the logo of the movie at the bottom right corner, rather than the center of the screen.

Strut

ID: stru

Refers to the Cheetah Girls song, as featured in the 2006 movie The Cheetah Girls 2. The song's video data is a placeholder, with audio playing over a pitch black screen, and the graphics show an earlier rendition of the templates used for songs from that series, with the banner's cheetah texture spanning the entire width, the Disney logo being completely absent, and the outlines of the film's logo being shaped differently. No proper music files exist.

Double Beginner Metadata

While Double Beginner charts can be played due to an oversight in the courses menu, their difficulty values, which are almost always set to 1 (two songs, The Best of Both Worlds and Push it to the Limit, don't have ratings listed), and their Groove Radar values go unseen. Their pool parameter and notecounts, which are also present in the songlist file, can also be seen below:

Character Oddity

The characters Maddie (from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody) and Izzy (from Jump In!) are known as "Sharpay" and "Chad" in their models and animation files, as well as in the game's executable, referring to the characters from High School Musical. In real life, these characters were portrayed by the same actors, being Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu, respectively.
