beatmania 4thMIX -the beat goes on-

Release Information

• Release date:
  • Japan: April 26th, 1999
  • Korea: 1999 (as beatstage 4thMIX -the beat goes on-)

General Information / Changes

• All previous beatmania songs have been removed, replaced with a brand-new set of 23 songs.
• First beatmania game to include licenses and BEMANI crossovers.
• The interface has been totally redesigned. The new design features lots of purple and computerized elements.
• Difficulty levels are now on a scale of 1 to 7.
• First beatmania game to list artists for the song on the music select screen.
• First beatmania game where all songs have at least two sets of charts on Single and Double.
• Kouichi Yamazaki and Yasushi Kurobane make their BEMANI debuts.
• First beatmania game sound directed by Takehiko Fujii, who would stay on this position until the last beatmania game.
• First beatmania game where GOOD does not break your combo. Next games will not retain this behavior until beatmania featuring DREAMS COME TRUE.
• The score calculation of BASIC and HARD MODE are unique:
  • GOOD = 100,000 ÷ TotalNotes ÷ 5
  • GREAT (1-10) = 100,000 ÷ TotalNotes + 50,000 ÷ (45 + 10 × (TotalNotes - 10)) × (Combo - 1)
  • GREAT (11-more) = 100,000 ÷ TotalNotes + 50,000 ÷ (45 + 10 × (TotalNotes - 10)) × 10
  • JUST GREAT (1-10) = 150,000 ÷ TotalNotes + 50,000 ÷ (45 + 10 × (TotalNotes - 10)) × (Combo - 1)
  • JUST GREAT (11-more) = 150,000 ÷ TotalNotes + 50,000 ÷ (45 + 10 × (TotalNotes - 10)) × 10
