EXTRA STAGE / ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE

beat#1 (Programmed World / 3y3s)

To unlock the secret EXTRA STAGE song Programmed World in beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS, you must have the machine set on three stages (not four) and then meet the following conditions, depending on the difficulty level:

  • NORMAL: 15 or more combined levels (Single), 12+ (Double)
  • HYPER: 25+ (Single), 22+ (Double)
  • ANOTHER: 31+ (Single), 28+ (Double)

In addition to meeting the above level requirements, you must also get a AA on all three songs while meeting the usual EXTRA STAGE credentials for FINAL STAGE:

  • Level 1-4: ALL GREAT (1-3 Double)
  • Level 5-6: FULL COMBO (4-5 Double)
  • Level 7: clear song with 100% gauge (either regular or HARD) (6 on Double)
  • Level 8+: clear (7+ on Double)

You will then move on to Programmed World. Completing the song on ANOTHER with a AAA will allow to play ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE song 3y3s.

As of January 7th, 2009 (beat #1), both songs are available for regular play.

The goal is to collect 12 types of jewels to unlock the songs on EXTRA STAGE. There are 12 types of jewels you can collect, and how many of each you can hold. Playing on BEGINNER or TUTORIAL will not give you jewels:

  • January: garnet (red), eight
  • February: amethyst (purple), 12
  • March: coral (red), 12
  • April: diamond (transparent), three
  • May: emerald (green), five
  • June: pearl (white), 15
  • July: ruby (red), five
  • August: peridot (green), nine
  • September: sapphire (blue), three
  • October: opal (aqua), seven
  • November: topaz (yellow), eight
  • December: turquoise (blue), 15

To unlock a chart, players have to acquire at least four jewels, with four for NORMAL, five for HYPER and six for ANOTHER. Please see BEMANIWiki on jewel requirements changes depending on the month. Doing so and the EMPRESS PLACE folder will appear during the Extra Stage, and the player is locked onto the folder once it opened (the game will warn players on playing songs with extreme difficulty). Note that arcade settings must be set to three songs for it to appear.

Completing all three songs on a difficulty level on HARD with a AAA will allow you to access 卑弥呼 on ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE for that difficulty level.

EMPRESS PLACE ended on February 18th, 2009 (beat #2). All songs were then unlocked for normal play.
