General Information

• First beatmania IIDX game with HD graphics.
• Gameplay interface is overhauled.
• Changes to the results screen:
  • Results screen pics return.
  • Total Notes information no longer on song results screens.
  • Music now plays on result screens.
  • The difficulty and level of the song you just played are displayed.
• New songs have black backgrounds with yellow text. This is the first IIDX game since beatmania IIDX 4th style in which a game's new songs have black backgrounds, and the first in the series with colored text.
• This is the first IIDX arcade game since their debuts in which TOMOSUKE, Seiya Murai, S.S.D., DJ Mass MAD Izm*, DJ Command, and PRASTIK DANCEFLOOR don't appear on the default songlist.
• Make A Difference, SABER WING, sakura storm, 桜 and Sweet Sweet ♥ Magic now have their dedicated videos from DanceDanceRevolution.
• Modifier selection is overhauled:
  • The beginner option screen is offered by default; only "assist" modifiers can be selected on this screen (EASY, 5KEYS, AUTO SCRATCH, and LEGACY NOTE).
  • A more traditional modifier screen is also available; modifier categories have been reorganized so there are now four (STYLE, GAUGE, ASSIST, and RANGE), the first three of which can be cycled up and down by using the top and bottom key rows respectively.
  • A new options screen is introduced for selecting a ghost type, and options previously only accessible through codes (JUDGE among others).
  • You can cycle through these options screens with the Effect Change and VEFX buttons.
• HI-SPEED is overhauled:
  • HI-SPEED can now only be changed by holding Start in-game; it is no longer available from the modifier screen.
  • The HI-SPEED range is now 0.5 to 10.0, and values now correspond to the speed multiplier applied to chart, meaning HS 1.0 is equivalent to no HS on previous IIDX versions. (Multiplier values for HS mods in previous versions can be found here.)
  • With SUDDEN+ disabled, you can set HI-SPEED with the turntable in .01 increments from 0.5 to 10.0.
  • With SUDDEN+ enabled, you can increase and decrease HI-SPEED by .25 increments with the black and white keys respectively within the same range.
  • This is the first release since CS 6th style to feature LOW-SPEED (by using a HI-SPEED value under 1.0).
• You can now switch the score graph and movie's locations by pressing the Start button on the side opposite the one you are playing on.
• Players can now see how they rank on a specific song against other players in the same arcade.
• The default Extra Stage is now called LIMIT BURST.
• First beatmania IIDX game with no Expert Mode.
• Various older songs had their overlays removed from their videos due to the overhauled interface. Full list here.
• There will be 3 special events based on the three colors of tricoro (red, yellow and blue). The color of the user interface will also change accordingly.
  • LEGEND CROSS (tricoro / RED): 10/15/2012 - 12/05/2012
  • Ω-ATTACK (tricoro / BLUE): 12/12/2012 - ??/??/2013

Unlock Information

Extra Stage

Normal Extra Stage

In Standard Mode, during your final stage, the following conditions will allow you to access the Extra Stage:

• obtaining a perfect combo
• obtaining a full combo on a 5 or greater on Single Play or a 4 or greater on Double Play
• finishing with 100% gauge on a 7 or greater on Single Play or a 6 or greater on Double Play
• clearing an 8 or greater on Single Play or a 7 or greater on Double Play

What happens during your first two stages has no influence on whether or not a normal extra stage is attainable, so you could, for example, fail the first two stages with a DJ VIP Pass and still obtain an Extra Stage as long as you met the conditions on the final stage.

• However, failing any stage will prevent any LIMIT BURST songs from appearing, even if you have met the requirements for that song.

Ω-ATTACK (tricoro / BLUE)

The Ω-ATTACK unlock system, introduced on 12/12/2012, lets you unlock songs by clearing viruses in the network.
For every play of beatmania IIDX, regardless of the mode chosen or if you clear a stage or not, CP is awarded. You use CP to purchase weapons to clear the viruses. As you clear more of the viruses, you unlock song charts, unlock new weapons, and upgrade your code level to earn more CP per play. Some tiles also require more hits to clear (for example, Level 2 tiles requires 2 hits to clear).
The cost and effects of each weapon are as follows:

• 1-WAY (1CP): Hits one tile adjacent to the selected tile.
• 3-WAY (unlock in SECTOR A, 2CP): Hits 3 tiles adjacent to the selected tile.
• LASER (unlock in SECTOR B, 3CP): Hits 4 tiles in a straight line.
• BOMB (unlock in SECTOR B, 4CP): Clear all 6 surrounding tiles (regardless of level) adjacent to the selected tile.
