The central gameplay feature of both ''beatmania'' and ''beatmania III'' cabinets is a pair of 5-button keyboards with a turntable on the right of each. The keyboard has 3 white keys on the bottom and 2 black keys on the top, modeled after piano keys in arrangement. ''beatmania III'' also has one foot pedal for each player. | The central gameplay feature of both ''beatmania'' and ''beatmania III'' cabinets is a pair of 5-button keyboards with a turntable on the right of each.

== Differences between ''beatmania'' and ''beatmania III'' == | |||
* ''beatmania'' uses the ''DJ MAIN'' platform, built on early 1990s technology. The low performance of this platform compared to the ''FIREBEAT'' | |||
used by ''beatmania III'' means that a given ''beatmania III''' release will usually have more songs, better sound quality, and better graphics than its ''beatmania'' equivalent. | |||
* ''beatmania III'' allows a player to save their high scores and options, along with some unlocks, to a floppy disk. ''beatmania'' does not have this feature. | |||
