General Information

• pop'n stage is a dancing game based around the pop'n music design and songs, with ten "switches" (four diagonals and a center on each side, just like PUMP IT UP's panel placement), mixing the bright, colorful pop'n music-style graphics with DanceDanceRevolution-style gameplay.
• Two modes available: six-switch and ten-switch (corresponding to PUMP IT UP's Half Double and Full Double; in other words, 6-switch mode doesn't use the four outer corners).
• An upgrade later followed, titled pop'n stage ex, which includes two new songs, several pop'n music 3 songs, and ANOTHER and MANIAC difficulties.
• The voice-over at the title screen is former KONAMI employee Scott Dolph.
• Seiya Murai, Shunsuke Kida, and Kazuyoshi Baba make their BEMANI debuts in this game.
  • Also the first BEMANI game with a song composed by Hiroki Koga, who had served as a notechart designer and arranger on previous BEMANI games.
• First appearance of vocalist Noriko Fukushima in BEMANI.
