** Unlike beatmania, beatmania III very rarely removed songs from the original beatmania series.
* Only title in the beatmania III series with brand-new songs. Subsequent games were released as "APPEND" titles with the same new songs as their original beatmania counterpart (along with new LONG versions in the case of [[AC bm III 6th|6thMIX]] and [[AC bm III 7th|7thMIX]].)
** beatmania III's max points possible for a song is 100,000 points (beatmania had switched to 200,000 max points [[AC bm complete|a year earlier]]), which continued through the entire series.
** GOODs break combo, like the earlier beatmania games.
** The Internet Ranking course data file was uploaded at the official site, which can be downloaded to a floppy disk in order to play those courses.
** Those courses are installed into Backup RAM on the PCB. Then all players can choose them without a floppy disk.

* Four songs have charts that change depending on the player's performance. If the player gets a high number of BADs and POORs, the chart changes to a more simple version of itself.
* ANOTHER and foot ver. charts are listed separately in song select screen, much like beatmania 5thMIX's HARD VERSION songs.
* HI-SPEED multipliers are 1.3x, 2x, and 4x.
