beatmania 5thMIX -Time to get down-

Release Information

• Release date:
  • Japan: September 22nd, 1999
  • Korea: Unknown

General Information / Changes

• First beatmania game with Dancemania licenses, much like the DanceDanceRevolution series.
• Combo is only counted in BASIC mode, and not in HARD mode or EXPERT mode.
  • This was the last arcade beatmania game in which combo was not counted in a mode.
• Flashing GREATs only appear in EXPERT mode.
  • This is the only beatmania game where this is the case.
• Songs are now displayed in a list on the right side of the screen, with their levels in a star to the left of their name.
• First beatmania arcade title with "hard version" charts.
  • DO IT ALL NIGHT, OPERATOR, THE ONLY WAY IS UP, THE RACE, and UP ON THE FLOOR have each a hard version chart that can be played during Stage 2 on Hard Mode.
• Two modifiers were introduced:
  • SUDDEN, which causes the notes to appear in the middle of the screen.
    • HIDDEN+SUDDEN is now possible, which causes the notes to not appear at all. This was changed in beatmania THE FINAL, where the notes briefly appear in the middle of the screen.
  • HI-SPEED, which causes the notes to double the scrolling speed.
• Isao Saito and Hiroaki Saito make their BEMANI debuts.
• The beatmania 5thMIX ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK contains not only the songs from beatmania 5thMIX, but also the songs from beatmania 4thMIX -the beat goes on- which had not been removed in 5thMIX.
• The Korean release was known as beatstage 5thMIX -Time to get down-, and has a few differences compared to the Japanese release.
  • By default, all modes use the EXPERT gauge. The normal gauge functionality can be re-enabled with a DIP switch setting.
  • A new feature, PERFECT PLAY, has been added to EXPERT mode. When enabled, getting anything lower than a GOOD will result in an immediate game over.
  • Two songs were removed from the Korean release: KAKATTEKONKAI and TOTAL RECALL.
• Several songs have a scroll speed modifier applied by default when playing certain charts.
  • When using a HI-SPEED option on such a chart, that HI-SPEED's modifier multiplies with that chart's default scroll speed modifier.
