* The first of two beatmania compilation mixes released. completeMIX has the full songlist from [[AC bm 1st|beatmania]], [[AC bm 2nd|2ndMIX]], and [[AC bm 3rd|3rdMIX]], along with two entirely new songs and two English versions of older songs.
* The first of two beatmania compilation mixes released. completeMIX contains all of the songs from [[AC bm 1st|beatmania]], [[AC bm 2nd|2ndMIX]], and [[AC bm 3rd|3rdMIX]], along with two new songs and two English versions of older songs.
* The last beatmania game not to count combo until [[AC bm 5th|5thMIX]]. 3rdMIX, the base for completeMIX's engine, also counted combo.
* Despite that its predecessor [[AC bm 3rd|3rdMIX]] counted combo, completeMIX does not.
* Flashing GREATs now indicate a separate, more accurate judgment than regular GREATs.
* The maximum [[Money Score]] for a song was increased from 100,000 to 200,000.
* The maximum money score for one song was increased to 200000 from 100000. GREATs are worth half the base note score, and the relationship between GOODs and GREATs is unchanged.
** GREATs are worth half the base note score, and the relationship between GOODs and GREATs is unchanged.
* EXPERT mode is renamed INTERNET RANKING mode. After a course is completed, an INTERNET RANKING code is displayed, which could be entered at KONAMI's website.
** The same 200,000 money score would later be adopted in the [[AC General Info|beatmania IIDX series]], until its removal in [[AC BISTROVER|BISTROVER]].
** The score counter in INTERNET RANKING mode displays EX score instead of money score.
* First beatmania game to display both genres ''and'' song titles on the song select screen.
* First beatmania game to have separate chart ratings for different difficulties.
* First beatmania game to feature Flashing GREATs as a separate, more accurate judgment from regular GREATs.
** As such, Flashing GREATs are worth more money score in the normal game modes, and EX score in INTERNET RANKING and EXPERT modes.
** Although [[AC_bm_3rd|3rdMIX]] did feature Flashing GREATs, it was only used to indicate an ongoing combo of at least 11 GREATs, and not as a separate judgment.
* First BEMANI game with the alternate scoring scheme called EX Score, which would become a regular competition standard in some later BEMANI games.
** Flashing GREATs increase the score by 2; regular GREATs increase the score by 1; GOODs/BADs/POORs do not increase or decrease the score.
** The same scoring scheme later carried over to [[AC_1st_style|beatmania IIDX]] and subsequent games in that series.
* First beatmania game to feature INTERNET RANKING mode, which replaces EXPERT mode while playing SINGLE or 1P & 2P (EXPERT appears instead when playing DOUBLE).
** In both INTERNET RANKING and EXPERT, the score counter displays [[EX Score]] instead of the traditional Money Score.
** During gameplay in INTERNET RANKING, the frame is gold instead of the standard gray (which EXPERT also uses).
** In INTERNET RANKING, when you clear a certain number of stages in a course, an INTERNET RANKING code is displayed, which could be entered on KONAMI's official website during active INTERNET RANKING periods.
** In INTERNET RANKING, if you fail a stage, you fail the entire course and are not allowed to continue (unlike in EXPERT).
*** This (only being allowed to continue when playing DOUBLE) would also become the default behavior for EXPERT starting in [[AC bm 4th|4thMIX]].
**** [[AC bm Club|ClubMIX]] was the last game that retained this behavior; starting in [[AC bm DREAMS COME TRUE|DREAMS COME TRUE]] and through the rest of the games, you cannot continue after failing in EXPERT while playing any mode.
* First BEMANI game worked on by CG designer [[Hotaru Matsuzaki]], known then as MZD FIRE FLY.
* Last beatmania game with PRACTICE mode.
* Last beatmania game with PRACTICE mode.
* Song titles are displayed on the music selection screen in addition to genres.

= Codes & Unlock Information =
= Codes & Unlock Information =
== Codes ==
== Unlock All Songs ==
''All codes are entered on the title screen''
* To unlock all songs in HARD mode (does not work in EASY mode), follow the steps below on the title screen while it says to press either START button.
;Complete Song List Choice Mode
# Press and hold 1+4, turn the 1P turntable clockwise once, then release 1+4.
*Hold 1 and 4 and turn the 1P turntable clockwise once, then hold 2 and 5 and turn the turntable clockwise again, then hold 4, press Start, and let go of 4 and hold 2.
# Press and hold 2+5, turn the 1P turntable clockwise once, then release 2+5.
# Press and hold 4, press START, then release 4 and press and hold 2 until the title screen completely fades out.
* If successful, after HARD mode is selected, [[DJ BATTLE]] will appear on the song select screen when the turntable is rotated counterclockwise.
* If performing the code still does not unlock songs, the turntable wiring is reversed and should be corrected.
** When the turntable wiring is correct, rotating the turntable clockwise increases the turntable value in the I/O TEST menu, and moves right on the MODE SELECT and song select screens.
* The unlocked state will not save between games, and the code must be entered each time before the game is started.
 
== Unlock Secret EXPERT Course ==
* To unlock the secret EXPERT course (SPECIAL), follow the steps below.
** Note that these steps require access to the DIP switches inside the machine.
# Either turn the machine off, or enter the TEST MENU.
# Set DIP switches 1-2, 2-4, and 3-6 to '''ON''', and 1-1 and 3-5 to '''OFF'''.
# Either turn the machine on, or exit the TEST MENU.
* If successful, SPECIAL will appear in the list on the course select screen.
* The unlocked state will remain active as long as those DIP switches are set to those positions.
 
== Select Options ==
* To select options, do so on the title screen while it says to press either START button, via one or both of the methods below.
** Note that neither method is available while Event Mode is enabled.
; Options Menu
* Press and hold the following key button(s) for each option.
** 1 (left white key on 1P side): BATTLE
** 3 (middle white key on 1P side): DOUBLE
** 5 (right white key on 1P side): HIDDEN
; Key Buttons
* Press the key buttons as specified below to select one of the following options (only one can be selected).
** MIRROR: Press 8-10-8-7-6, 8-10-8-7-6, 8-10-8-7-6 (this pattern is from measure 19 of [[Do you love me?]])
** RANDOM: Press 8-10-8-7-6, 8-10-8-7-6, 8-10-8-7 (this pattern is from measure 21 of [[Do you love me?]])
* When one of these options is selected, after START is pressed the text "MIRROR PLAY" or "RANDOM PLAY" will appear on screen, before the MODE SELECT screen appears.
 
== Play ANOTHER Difficulty Charts ==
* On the song select screen in HARD mode (does not work in EASY mode), follow one of the methods below to play the ANOTHER chart of a song that has one.
** Note that neither method is available while Event Mode is enabled.
* Method A
** Highlight a compatible song that has an ANOTHER chart.
*** [[20,november|20,november (single mix) / 20,november (radio edit)]]
*** [[Attack the music]] (SINGLE only)
** When the timer is at 11 seconds, simultaneously press and hold 1+6.
* Follow these steps if you are having trouble simultaneously pressing 1+6.
# Use the turntable to scroll the song selection screen.
# While the records are moving on screen, press and hold one of the two buttons (e.g. 6).
# Continue to hold the button, then use the turntable to highlight the song you want to play.
# With the button still held down, press the second button (e.g. 1) to select that song when the timer is at 11 seconds.
* Method B
** Highlight any song that has an ANOTHER chart.
*** [[20,november|20,november (single mix) / 20,november (radio edit)]]
*** [[Attack the music]] (SINGLE only)
*** [[20,november (hard mix)]] (SINGLE only)
*** [[Acid Bomb]]
*** [[LUV_TO_ME|LUV TO ME (English Version)]]
** Scroll over to a different song next to that song.
** Scroll back to the song with the ANOTHER chart, then while no title is displayed on the screen, quickly press 2 and 4 repeatedly until the song is selected.
*** Strictly speaking, only 2-4-2-4-2-4 needs to be pressed, but it may be easier to keep pressing 2 and 4 repeatedly.
*** If the 2P side is active, 7 and 9 can be pressed instead of 2 and 4.


== Song Unlocks ==
== Event Mode ==
;ANOTHER charts
;Selecting Mode During Event Mode
* When selecting a song, turn the turntable to select a different song, and press 2-4-2 while the song is changing. Do this again, but press 4-2-4 instead.
* When Event Mode is enabled, there are several differences in making selections, which are as follows.
** [[20,november (hard mix)]], [[Acid Bomb]] and both versions of [[LUV TO ME]] have ANOTHER charts.
** The options menu is not shown on the title screen, preventing selection of options from there.
*** As noted in [[AC_bm_complete#Select_Options|Select Options]], the "Key Buttons" options are also unavailable.
*** As such, there is no known way to select options during Event Mode.
** The MODE SELECT menu is skipped, preventing selection of game mode.
** Song selection is performed with the START button(s), instead of a white or black key button (1/2/3/4/5 or 6/7/8/9/10).
** To make each selection, follow the procedures below on the song select screen.
* Select Mode
** Press the following button(s).
*** 1P START: SINGLE
*** 2P START: DOUBLE
*** 1P+2P START: BATTLE
**** Two-player non-BATTLE mode (DOUBLE chart with two lifebars) cannot be specifically selected while in Event Mode.
***** However, if a chart says that BATTLE cannot be played and BATTLE is selected anyway, it will play two-player non-BATTLE mode (DOUBLE chart with two lifebars).
**** Possibly due to a bug, if BATTLE was the last mode selected before the GAME OVER screen appears, the game will skip the title screen and go straight to the song select screen.
