Hi-Speed is a feature which increases the scroll speed of the notes during gameplay. It is important to point out that the actual notes do not have to be pressed any more quickly, the scroll speed is simply increased and the notes become further apart. Most beatmania IIDX players use Hi-Speed to make the notes easier to read.
History
Hi-Speed has had a variety of different forms throughout the history of the game. The first four arcade versions (1st through 4th style) had only Hi-Speed 1, which doubled the scroll speed. From the arcade 5th style onwards, Hi-Speed 1, 2 and 3 (2x, 2.5x and 3x the scroll speed, respectively) became available. Home versions, however, employed a different progression. The home version of 3rd style had Hi-Speed 1, 2 and 3 which were speeds of 2x, 3x and 4x respectively. The home version of 4th style had similar options that were slightly slower. The home versions of 5th style onwards had identical Hi-Speed settings to the arcade, with the exception that 6th and 7th style (and presumably future versions) have an additional "Hi-Speed 4" option, corresponding to a 3.5x scroll speed. IIDX 12: HAPPY SKY has Hi-Speed settings incremental from 0.5x to 4.0x at .5 increments.
