:The most difficult play mode -- harder than Hyper/7KEYS and much harder than Normal/LIGHT7.  Prior to HAPPY SKY, ANOTHER charts did not have their own difficulty ratings and would display as the same difficulty as the HYPER version.  Some tracks [[IIDX General Info#Why_doesn.27t_.28song_X.29_sound_the_same_as_.28song_X_on_a_different_difficulty.29.3F|have an Another that sounds different from the original song]].  ANOTHER is intended generally for experienced players and usually contains notecharts with a difficulty of 9 to 12.  Not every song has an ANOTHER version, though songs without Anothers typically originate from older styles.

;ASSIST CLEAR
:Clearing a song using an ASSIST modifier (AUTO-SCRATCH, LEGACY, 5KEYS, or any combination thereof). Earlier games will disqualify scores achieved with ASSIST mods; however, newer games will accept scores achieved with ASSIST; the idea is that although you are making the song easier to clear, you are sacrificing potential score to do so.

:This mode was added in 9th style (5th style for home version).  In the arcade, Beginner limits the list of songs available to only 1-3 star songs, thus severely limiting the number of songs available in a game.  In the home versions, Beginner gives an alternate note chart for nearly all songs, rated from 1-3.  These alternative note charts are not available in the arcade.
