In the Legendary Concert, data exists at the end of track names for a sequence titled "No Tune 58" (Japanese: なしきょく58).

Unused music

Sequences

In the game's sound_data.sdat file, Densetsu no Starfy 4's there are a total of 68 playable sequences. In the final game, 56 sequences are available in the Legendary Concert - but it is notable that there are an additional three valid tracks that are seemingly unused in the final game. Below are playable videos of the three aforementioned unused tracks.

In addition to the 59 "valid" sequences, there are an additional nine tracks that are copies of Lobber's Cottage when they are forcibly played. These will be described in further detail in the 'dummied-out music' section below.

Dummied-out music

The sequences in Densetsu no Starfy 4 are named in the format '[1]-SEQ-[2]'. The first integer is a number that appears to describe the real track, and the second number describes the order that the track appears in the game code.

Below are the list of sequences as they appear in the game's SDAT file.

As shown above, the first integer does not always match the second integer. There are nine SSEQ files that use '001' as the first integer in their filenames when the second integer suggests that they are separate entries. These have been indicated above in bold.

As the number of sequences extends to 68, this may imply that the developers allocated more files for music if they needed to add them. The contents of these nine files are fact copies of '001-SEQ_001.SSEQ' (Lobber's Cottage) that were probably kept as placeholder data.

It may be worth stressing that the dummied-out sequences are unusually ordered, given that they are indexed in between the SSEQ files of used music and the three unused tracks.

Notes

In the Legendary Concert, data exists at the end of track names for a sequence titled "No Tune 58" (Japanese: なしきょく58). However, it appears to be simply a placeholder to mark the end of the Legendary Concert, given that there are a total of 57 songs indexed, including the 'not-unlocked' placeholder, "☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆" which is listed as the first track. The eight additional copies of Lobber's Cottage are not indexed in this list.
