To access gameplay options in all versions (except [[AC pnm Animelo_2|ANIMELO 2]],) press both yellow buttons at the same time during the song loading screen. There are four modifier options available: ''HI-SPEED'', ''RANDOM/MIRROR'', ''HIDDEN/SUDDEN'', and ''pop-kun''.  
To access gameplay options in all versions (except [[AC pnm Animelo_2|ANIMELO 2]] and versions before pop'n 4), press both yellow buttons at the same time during the song loading screen.  
* HI-SPEEDs range from x1 up to x10 in 0.1 increments as of [[AC pnm Lapistoria|ラピストリア]]. In Sunny Park and earlier, most arcade titles  came with HI-SPEEDs in 0.5 or 1.0 increments up to x6.
 
* RANDOM randomizes the order of the columns in which the notes, or pop-kuns, drop. MIRROR reverses the order of the columns from right to left. S-RANDOM, an unlockable feature in some versions, randomizes the pop-kun into different columns, causing repetitive pop-kun patterns to be entirely random, unlike RANDOM.  
As of [[AC pnm Lapistoria|pop'n music ラピストリア]], options are arranged into a menu by category, where navigation is similar to song select. Options are categorized into HI-SPEED, POP-KUN, GAUGE TYPE, and GUIDE SE as basic options.  
* HIDDEN and SUDDEN do just what you would expect, either hide the pop-kuns when they get to the bottom of the screen, or make them appear more suddenly by hiding them at the top. The combination of these two modifiers gives you HIDDEN-SUDDEN, which makes the notes appear for a short time where the HIDDEN and SUDDEN curtains overlap.  
* HI-SPEEDs range from x1 up to x10 in increments of 0.1
* POP-KUN changes the appearance of the notes, replacing the pop-kun graphic with the face of your character [CHARA-POP(YOU)], the stage's character [CHARA-POP(RIVAL)], or a [[What is beatmania IIDX|beatmania IIDX]] bar (BEAT-POP).
* GAUGE TYPE changes the difficulty to build the groove gauge during gameplay. NORMAL, EASY, HARD, or DANGER can be selected. HARD and DANGER are not selectable when the basic options are on.
* GUIDE SE during gameplay can be toggled on or off. This is not available in versions before [[AC pnm Usaneko|pop'n music うさぎと猫と少年の夢]].
 
More advanced option categories can be brought up by pressing 0 on the keypad, which contain RANDOM, JUDGE+, HIDDEN, SUDDEN, and OJAMA 1 and 2.
 
* RANDOM contains the options RANDOM, MIRROR, and S-RANDOM. RANDOM randomizes the order of the columns in which the notes, or pop-kuns, drop. MIRROR reverses the order of the columns from right to left. S-RANDOM randomizes the pop-kun into different columns, causing repetitive pop-kun patterns to be entirely random, unlike RANDOM.
* JUDGE+, available in [[AC pnm eclale|pop'n music éclale]] and later, changes how the judgement and combo are displayed . TIMING adds Fast/Slow above judgements worse than COOL, LOST shows no judgement (except BADs) nor combo, and PANIC displays a false judgement and combo.
* HIDDEN and SUDDEN do just what you would expect, either hide the pop-kuns when they get to the bottom of the screen, or make them appear more suddenly by hiding them at the top. HIDDEN and SUDDEN have their own categories to toggle on/off and set the amount of HIDDEN or SUDDEN, similar in function to HIDDEN+/SUDDEN+ on other BEMANI titles.
* OJAMA 1 and OJAMA 2 are two separate option categories to set ojamas independently of each other. Either category can be used to set an ojama throughout gameplay or intermittently during gameplay.
 
In versions Sunny Park and earlier, options are divided into four categories: ''HI-SPEED'', ''RANDOM/MIRROR'', ''HIDDEN/SUDDEN'', and ''pop-kun''. Depending on the mode and version, OJAMAs are selectable separately by pressing both white buttons instead of both yellow buttons.
* HI-SPEEDs range from x1 to x6, but may have 0.5 or 1.0 increments depending on the version.
* RANDOM contains MIRROR, RANDOM, and S-RANDOM, the latter of which is unlockable in some versions.
* HIDDEN and SUDDEN are selectable, but not adjustable. HIDDEN+SUDDEN makes the notes appear for a short time where the HIDDEN and SUDDEN curtains do not overlap.
* The pop-kun modifier changes the appearance of the notes, replacing the pop-kun graphic with the face of your character (CHARA-POP), the stage's character, or a [[What is beatmania IIDX|beatmania IIDX]] bar (BEAT-POP).
* The pop-kun modifier changes the appearance of the notes, replacing the pop-kun graphic with the face of your character (CHARA-POP), the stage's character, or a [[What is beatmania IIDX|beatmania IIDX]] bar (BEAT-POP).
