* All previous beatmania songs have been removed, replaced with a brand-new set of 23 songs.
* The menu and gameplay interfaces have been totally redesigned; the new design features lots of purple, and computerized elements.
* Difficulty levels are now on a scale of 1 to 7.
* The BATTLE modifier was changed so that if a chart that does not allow BATTLE is selected, it would instead play a lower difficulty chart with BATTLE (no message appears to indicate such).
** Previously, if such a chart was selected, a message saying "BATTLE PLAY NOT AVAILABLE" would appear and a DOUBLE chart would be played instead.
** This new behavior was also used in [[AC bm 5th|5thMIX]], but was reverted to the old behavior in [[AC bm complete 2|completeMIX 2]] and then used in all subsequent games.
* The score calculation of BASIC and HARD MODE are unique:
** GOOD = 100,000 ÷ TotalNotes ÷ 5
** GREAT (1-10) = 100,000 ÷ TotalNotes + 50,000 ÷ (45 + 10 ×  (TotalNotes - 10)) × (Combo - 1)
** GREAT (11-more) = 100,000 ÷ TotalNotes + 50,000 ÷ (45 + 10 ×  (TotalNotes - 10)) × 10
** JUST GREAT (1-10) = 150,000 ÷ TotalNotes + 50,000 ÷ (45 + 10 ×  (TotalNotes - 10)) × (Combo - 1)
** JUST GREAT (11-more) = 150,000 ÷ TotalNotes + 50,000 ÷ (45 + 10 ×  (TotalNotes - 10)) × 10
