For the first time since 2001, KONAMI introduced two new arcade BEMANI games, both aimed at a younger audience than the other BEMANI games at the time. The first of these was [[Toy'sMarch Information|Toy'sMarch]], a simple drum-hitting game that looked like the set of drums one would play in a marching band. Up to two players could play at a time, and only had two sensors: one on the drum itself, and a cymbal. Two games in the series were released before it was quietly retired. | For the first time since 2001, KONAMI introduced two new arcade BEMANI games, both aimed at a younger audience than the other BEMANI games at the time.

Like Toy'sMarch, it could be played with up to two people at a time. Unlike that series, though, it never had a sequel, and quietly faded away from arcades. | ||
Third was an unusual collaboration between Nintendo and KONAMI, with the Mario-themed [[CS DDR MARIO|DanceDanceRevolution with MARIO]] on Nintendo GameCube. Made by Hudson Soft (even running on their ''Mario Party'' series' game engine), it combined Mario game remixes and classical remixes with a story mode, featuring interesting in-game gimmicks and even mini-games. It was the GameCube's sole DanceDanceRevolution title, though two years later KONAMI and Nintendo would collaborate a ''lot'' more with DanceDanceRevolution-themed games. | Third was an unusual collaboration between Nintendo and KONAMI, with the Mario-themed [[CS DDR MARIO|DanceDanceRevolution with MARIO]] on Nintendo GameCube.
