Hidden Commands

Activate Play Mode or Modifier for Main Game

The information in this section pertains to beatmania CS, beatmania APPEND 3rdMIX (mini), APPEND GOTTAMIX, and all games with a BONUS EDIT mode (4th/5th/GOTTA2/Club) when BONUS EDIT mode is active.

• To activate a play mode or modifier for the main game, you must do so from the PRESS START BUTTON screen and then choose GAME START after you activate it.
  • Unless otherwise noted, actions for activating a play mode or modifier must be performed on only the P1 controller or P2 controller, and will not work if performed on the opposite controller.
    • However, after you activate a play mode or modifier, you can choose GAME START with either controller.
  • When you activate a play mode or modifier, a confirmation sound will play.
    • The active play mode or modifier will be deactivated if you go back to the PRESS START BUTTON screen, or if you choose anything other than GAME START.
  • After you choose GAME START, the activated play mode or modifier will be applied to all sides that play the game.
    • Note that only DOUBLE PLAY or HIDDEN PLAY can be active; it is not possible for both DOUBLE PLAY and HIDDEN PLAY to be active at the same time.

Play Modes

• DOUBLE PLAY
  • "1-Credit": On the P1 controller, while holding down all three white keys (or Left, Square, and X on a standard PlayStation controller), press the START button, then quickly release the white keys and hold down all two black keys (L1 and R1).
    • In "1-Credit" DOUBLE PLAY, you play a mode that is similar to FREE mode in certain AC beatmania games. You have two guaranteed stages and can pick any song that is listed.
      • Unlike in certain AC beatmania games however, you do not need to separately enter unlock codes for any songs.
  • "2-Credit": On the P2 controller, while holding down all three white keys (or Left, Square, and X on a standard PlayStation controller), press the START button, then quickly release the white keys and hold down all two black keys (L1 and R1).
    • Unlike "1-Credit" DOUBLE PLAY, you can play any normally accessible mode, with all of the restrictions inherent to it.

Modifiers
