Song Connections / Remixes

• GOLD RUSH is based on the opening and system music for beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD.
• A variation of GOLD RUSH appears in pop'n music 18 せんごく列伝, titled GOLD RUSH (pop'n GOLD MOUNTAIN rush). In this version, the different titles of beatmania IIDX have been replaced with the titles of the pop'n music games through pop'n music 18 せんごく列伝, sung primarily by staff member PON.
  • The ポップンリズミン arcade chart viewer uses GOLD RUSH (pop'n GOLD MOUNTAIN rush), despite that only the original GOLD RUSH is playable in ポップンリズミン.
• Two additional variations appear in DanceDanceRevolution X2, with the beatmania IIDX titles being replaced by arcade DanceDanceRevolution releases and console DanceDanceRevolution releases, sung primarily by SUPER STAR MITSURU.
  • These variations weren't retained in DanceDanceRevolution II/DanceDanceRevolution hottest party5, and do not appear on the DanceDanceRevolution X2 Original Soundtrack.
