== Play Any Song (or Ending) == | |||
* In beatmania through [[AC bm 3rd|3rdMIX]], there is a hidden feature that allows the player(s) to select any song (or the ending) regardless of stage, via a combination of the test switch and specific key button(s). | |||
** In 2ndMIX, there are two methods for activating this feature on the song select screen. | |||
*** 1. Simultaneously press the specific key(s) and the test switch at the exact same time. | |||
*** 2. While holding the specific key(s), press the test switch. | |||
*** If only the test switch is pressed, the song select screen will fade out, then fade back in (with the timer having been reset). | |||
**** The same fade-out/fade-in will happen in the following scenarios. | |||
***** The test switch and specific key(s) are pressed while the EFFECT button is also being held down. | |||
***** The test switch and an unassigned key combination (e.g. 1+2+4+5) are used. | |||
**** This fade-out/fade-in can be utilized to make selection easier: while the song select screen fades out, press and hold the specific key(s) before it fades in, then press the test button again after it fades in. | |||
* The specific keys to press for selecting each song (or the ending) are as follows. | |||
** [[20,november|20,november (radio edit)]]: 4+5 (two-player or DOUBLE only) | |||
** [[20,november|20,november (single mix)]]: 4+5 (one-player only) | |||
** [[2 gorgeous 4U]]: 5 (one-player only) | |||
** [[Acid Bomb]]: 9+10 | |||
** [[Beginning of life|Beginning of Life]]: 3 | |||
** [[Deep Clear Eyes]]: 8+9 | |||
** [[DJ BATTLE]]: 3+4+5 | |||
** [[Do you love me?]]: 6 | |||
** [[e-motion]]: 2+3 | |||
** [[e-motion (2ndMIX)]]: 1+2+3 | |||
** ENDING: 6+7+8 | |||
*** Note that the game will end immediately after the ending, regardless of which stage it was played on. | |||
** [[greed eater]]: 5 (two-player or DOUBLE only) | |||
** [[jam jam reggae]]: 2 | |||
** [[jam jam reggae (Funky jam Cookie mix)]]: 4 | |||
** [[LOVE SO GROOVY]]: 1+2 (one-player only) | |||
** [[LOVE SO GROOVY|LOVE SO GROOVY (12inch version)]]: 1+2 (two-player or DOUBLE only) | |||
** [[LOVE SO GROOVY (Nite's After Luv mix)]]: 3+4 | |||
** [[OVERDOSER|OVERDOSER (ambient mix)]]: 7 (two-player or DOUBLE only) | |||
** [[OVERDOSER (Driving Dub mix)]]: 6+7 | |||
** [[OVERDOSER|OVERDOSER (romo mix)]]: 7 (one-player only) | |||
** [[PRACTICE STAGE (beatmania 2ndMIX)|PRACTICE STAGE]]: 2+3+4 | |||
*** When selected via this method, the loading screen will show the information for [[u gotta groove]], but PRACTICE STAGE will be played. | |||
*** The normal groove gauge(s) will appear (while occasionally being blocked by DJ KONAMI's dialogue text), and it will be possible to fail the stage (unlike in [[AC bm 1st|beatmania]]). | |||
*** When this method is used to play PRACTICE STAGE on any stage, if the DJ LEVEL screen appears and is not skipped before the screen attempts to scroll, the game will crash (presumably due to not having genre text mapped in ROM). | |||
**** This bug was fixed in [[AC bm 3rd|3rdMIX]], and shows a genre of '''PRACTICE''' when the screen scrolls down. | |||
** [[Salamander Beat Crush mix]]: 10 | |||
** [[SKA a go go]]: 7+8 | |||
** [[tokai]]: 9 | |||
** [[u gotta groove]]: 1 | |||
** [[u gotta groove (Triple Mazin Dub)]]: 8 | |||

;Test Switch Differences | |||
* While Event Mode is enabled, the operations that the test switch performs will differ as follows. | |||
** Pressing the test switch and letting go immediately: Selects the currently highlighted song, regardless of whether any keys or the EFFECT button are being held down. | |||
** Pressing and holding the test switch for slightly longer, or until the song select screen fades out, while holding the specific key(s) down: Selects the specified song. | |||
** Pressing and holding the test switch for slightly longer while not holding any keys down: Jumps back to the title screen; if held after the title screen appears, jumps to the TEST MENU. | |||
* In addition, using the test switch and specific key(s) to select a song will only allow SINGLE mode to be played. | |||
