 infinite infection introduced the following gameplay mechanics:
 * SHORT note lanes can now have hold notes, known as LONG BT notes. Conversely, LONG note lanes can now have short notes, known as CHIP FX notes.
-* The HARD-gauge style EXCESSIVE RATE is added. When the rate drops to 0% at any point, it is a TRACK CRASH.
+* The HARD-gauge style EXCESSIVE RATE is added. If the EXCESSIVE RATE reaches 0% at any point, it results in an instant TRACK CRASH.
 * The INFINITE BLASTER unlock system/folder is added (since HEAVENLY HAVEN known as '''BLASTER GATE'''). It unlocks most game-specific special charts (e.g. INFINITE). This folder used to be available once the BLASTER ENERGY gauge is at 100%. Using the EXCESSIVE RATE gauge charges the BLASTER ENERGY gauge by 6.67% a stage (15 plays will fill it).
 * A course-based mode, SKILL ANALYZER, was added. It functions similarly to beatmania IIDX's [[beatmania IIDX Dan Courses|Dan / CLASS]] mode. A gauge exclusive to the mode, PERMISSIVE RATE, was added.

-To clear a song, your EFFECTIVE RATE must be 70% or higher (for all other gauges, never let the rate drop to zero). This does not affect charts rated Level 7 or below, however, as you will automatically be saved.

-[[AC SDVX EG|EXCEED GEAR]] introduced another judgement, S-CRITICAL, which is a judgement stricter than CRITICAL. Its judgment is also worth the same amount of points as CRITICAL in the normal scoring system. This judgement can be enabled or disabled, and is exclusive to Valkyrie model.
