:Available for home versions as a specific mode, this plays exactly as 7KEYS, except for the idea that the last two keys farthest from the turntable are not used. This is probably a compatibility issue with original ''beatmania'' controllers, so that owners of the original could still somewhat play beatmania IIDX, only having the 5-key controller at hand. In arcade versions of beatmania IIDX, 5KEYS has been available from the start as a special gameplay option, most likely as an attempt to help players of the original series make the transition. Starting with [[AC 7th style|7th style]] (and [[CS 10th style|10th style CS]]), 5KEYS was turned into an ASSIST modifier, allowing it to be used with notecharts other than the ordinary 7KEYS mode. | :Available for home versions as a specific mode, this plays exactly as 7KEYS, except for the idea that the last two keys farthest from the turntable are not used.

:The most difficult play mode -- harder than HYPER and much harder than NORMAL. Prior to [[AC HAPPY SKY|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 ANOTHER charts typically originate from older styles. | :The most difficult play mode -- harder than HYPER and much harder than NORMAL.
