      • New HI-SPEED options can now go up to 10X.
  • GAUGE TYPE can be set as EASY (half damage), NORMAL, HARD (double damage) or DANGER (1 BAD drains your entire gauge).
  • HIDDEN/SUDDEN are now togglable in-game by pressing the 0/00 buttons of the numeric keypad, respectively.
  • Several OJAMAs have been removed, including the HI-SPEED/HID-SUD/HELL/DEATH OJAMAs (due to the changes to other options), every POP-KUN modifier, Chou/FuwaFuwa Judgment Line (超/ふわふわ判定ライン), Press OJAMAs (上下プレス, 左右プレス, 上下プレス＆プレス, 左右プレス＆プレス, スライド, 交互プレス, 上下さかさま), DARK and DANCE OJAMAs.
