== Play Any Song (or Ending) == | |||
* In beatmania through 3rdMIX, there is a hidden feature that allows the player(s) to select any song (or the ending) regardless of stage, via a combination of the test switch and specific key button(s). | |||
** In 3rdMIX, there are three methods for activating this feature on the song select screen. | |||
*** 1. Simultaneously press the specific key(s) and the test switch at the exact same time. | |||
*** 2. While holding the specific key(s), press the test switch. | |||
*** 3. While holding the test switch, press the specific key(s). | |||
*** However, for all three methods, if all of the specific keys are on a side that is not currently active, the only way to subsequently select the song will be to wait for the timer to run out. | |||
*** If only the test switch is being held down when the timer runs out, the song select screen will fade out, then fade back in (with the timer having been reset). | |||
**** The same fade-out/fade-in will happen in the following scenarios. | |||
***** The test switch and specific key(s) are pressed, or held while time runs out, while the EFFECT button is also being held down. | |||
***** The test switch and an unassigned key combination (e.g. 1+2+4+5) are used. | |||
**** This fade-out/fade-in can be utilized to make selection easier: while the song select screen fades out, press and hold the specific key(s) before it fades in, then press the test button again after it fades in. | |||
* The specific keys to press for selecting each song (or the ending) are as follows. | |||
** [[20,november|20,november (radio edit)]]: 4+5 (two-player or DOUBLE only) | |||

** [[nine seconds]]: 6+7+8 | |||
** [[PRACTICE STAGE (beatmania 2ndMIX)|PRACTICE STAGE]]: 8+9+10 | |||
*** When selected via this method, the loading screen will show the information for [[s.d.z]], but PRACTICE STAGE will be played. | |||
*** The normal groove gauge(s) will appear (while occasionally being blocked by DJ KONAMI's dialogue text), and it will be possible to fail the stage (unlike in [[AC bm 1st|beatmania]]). | |||
*** When this method is used to play PRACTICE STAGE on any stage, a genre of '''PRACTICE''' will appear for it on the DJ LEVEL screen when it scrolls down. | |||
** [[Queen's Jamaica]]: 1+2 | |||
** [[s.d.z]]: 7 | |||

;Test Switch Differences | |||
* While Event Mode is enabled, the operations that the test switch performs will differ as follows. | |||
** Pressing the test switch and letting go immediately: Selects the currently highlighted song, regardless of whether any keys or the EFFECT button are being held down. | |||
** Pressing and holding the test switch for slightly longer, or until the song select screen fades out, while holding the specific key(s) down: Selects the specified song. | |||
** Pressing and holding the test switch for slightly longer while not holding any keys down: Fades out of the song select screen, then fades back in. | |||
* In addition, using the test switch and specific key(s) to select a song will only allow SINGLE mode to be played. | |||
