From [[AC 10th style|10th style]] to [[AC DistorteD|DistorteD]], once you have inserted your coins, you can press the VEFX button to bring up the Options menu. If you want to play Battle or Double in these styles, you need to select it at this time, ''before'' you press the Start button to begin the game. Additionally, you can set the other game options here as well (high speed, random, autoscratch, etc.) to save yourself some time when picking your first song, but it's not necessary.

Styles after [[AC HAPPY SKY|HAPPY SKY]] do not allow you to access the options menu from the title screen. Instead, you were able to select Single or Double mode at a separate screen after the player entry screen. Since [[AC HEROIC VERSE|HEROIC VERSE]], the aforementioned screen no longer exists, and players can choose between Single or Double during the SELECT GAME MODE screen instead.
