Release Information

• Release date: December 20th, 1999

General Information / Changes

• pop'n stage ex is an upgraded version of pop'n stage, which includes two new songs, several pop'n music 3 songs, and a brand-new MANIAC difficulty.
  • MANIAC is available for both 6 and 10 Switches mode. However, unlike the other difficulties, 10-Switches MANIAC charts are intended for one player instead of two.
  • In MANIAC, most characters' palettes are changed to their 3P colors. The few exceptions are White day dream and full moon, which switch their characters' palettes to their 4P colors, and A LOVE WE NEVER KNEW which changes its character to Nyami [pns-3P].
• BEGINNER and NORMAL MODEs were renamed to NORMAL and ANOTHER MODEs.
• Difficulty scale was changed: levels are now rated from 1 to 20.
• Kiyoshi Murai makes his BEMANI debut in this game.
• First appearance of vocalist Noriko Fukushima in BEMANI.
• Only one new character is introduced: INUCHIYO, who is used for every new song in pop'n stage ex.
  • Due to memory limitations, each instance of INUCHIYO is considered a separate character, with four palettes each.
