beatmania IIDX Dan Courses
The Dan inintei mode (段位認定モード, also known as CLASS or simply Dan) is a mode containing a series of courses ranked so that each course is harder than the last. The mode was first introduced in beatmania IIDX 7th style and is found in every beatmania IIDX games released since then.
The difficulty level of the highest rank course cleared is often used as an indicator of the overall strength of the player.
Modeled after the Dan (段) and Kyu (級) system for many martial art schools, players are ranked from 7th Kyu (the initiate level; 5th Kyu on Double Play prior to copula) all the way through 10th Dan (the highest rank attainable). Each rank consists of a course of four songs (three on Double Play prior to copula). Unlike EXPERT mode, only the following modifiers are allowed while playing Dan courses:
- Style: Normal or MIRROR (introduced in PENDUAL on certain days only; or when attempting Eisei/Kiwami courses on even-numbered courses)
- Gauge: HARD (default) or EX-HARD (introduced in Lincle when paid with PASELI; unavailable in Eisei/Kiwami courses)
- HI-SPEED (can be set during a song)
- Note that the first two modifiers can be stacked.
Dan courses are available up to 8th Dan during the game's initial release, while 9th and 10th Dan courses were added after a certain time, followed by Chuuden (中伝) and Kaiden (皆伝).
In DistorteD, an extra rank above 10th Dan was added, called Kaiden, that is designed to truly test a beatmania IIDX master's skills. Players must clear 10th Dan to access it. Both Single and Double Play are required to be cleared separately.
The following changes were made in copula:
- A new rank was added called Chuuden, as a bridge between 10th Dan and Kaiden. Similar to Kaiden, Chuuden requires players to clear 10th Dan to make the course available. Clearing Chuuden will allow players to play Kaiden.
- Double Play courses for 7th kyu and 6th kyu were added.
- Double Play courses were extended to 4 songs each.
- MIRROR and EX-HARD gauge can now be freely used without certain days or using PASELI.
For the Dan Courses in CS beatmania IIDX games, please see the beatmania IIDX CS Dan Courses page; for the Dan Courses reprised in CLASSIC Courses, please see the beatmania IIDX CLASSIC CLASS Dan Courses.

Trivia
- A similar mode exists in other BEMANI games such as SKILL ANALYZER (スキルアナライザー) introduced in SOUND VOLTEX II -infinite infection-, Course Mode (コースモード) in jubeat saucer fulfill, pop'n License (ポップンライセンス) in pop'n music ラピストリア, DANCE DRILL COURSE and Dan/Class in the DanceDanceRevolution series, and REFLEC Dojo (リフレク道場) and CLASS CHECK MODE in the REFLEC BEAT series.
- A few songs have been in every arcade beatmania IIDX Dan course ever since their respective introductions:
- earth scape's Double NORMAL as the FINAL STAGE of the Double Play 7th Kyu course.
- I Was The One's Double NORMAL as the 3rd STAGE of the Double Play 7th Kyu course (2nd STAGE prior to beatmania IIDX 24 SINOBUZ).
- KEEP ON MOVIN''s Double NORMAL as the 1ST STAGE of the Double Play 6th Kyu course.
- With your Smile's Single HYPER as the FINAL STAGE of the Single Play 1st Kyu course (debuted in beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD; except for the latter, being the 3rd Stage).
- I'm Screaming LOVE's Double NORMAL as the 2nd STAGE of the Double Play 1st Kyu course (debuted in beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS; was 1st STAGE prior to beatmania IIDX 28 BISTROVER).
- Zenius -I- vanisher's Single HYPER as the 3rd STAGE of the Single Play 2nd Dan course (debuted in beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD; FINAL STAGE prior to GOLD, 2nd STAGE between beatmania IIDX 15 DJ TROOPERS and beatmania IIDX 25 CANNON BALLERS)
- Abyss's Single HYPER as the FINAL STAGE of the Single Play 2nd Dan course (2nd Stage prior to beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD).
- THE SAFARI's Single HYPER as the FINAL STAGE of the Single Play 7th Dan course.
- 冥's Single ANOTHER as the FINAL STAGE of the Single Play Kaiden course.
- 卑弥呼's Single ANOTHER as the 3RD STAGE of the Single Play Kaiden course (debuted in beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS).
- quasar's Double ANOTHER as the FINAL STAGE of the Double Play Kaiden course (except beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD, being the 1ST STAGE).
- The Double Play 4th Dan course holds the longest streak of the songs being intact, at nine versions.
- If not counting any changes of the format in copula, then both Single Play 3rd Dan and Double Play 5th Kyu hold the longest streak, at seven versions.
- Barring any changes in order, Single Play 8th Dan, 9th Dan, 10th Dan and Chuuden, as well as Double Play Chuuden, are the only courses that have at least one song from the course changed in each version.
- In beatmania IIDX 10th style's 8th Dan course, the intended 7KEYS charts for the songs were replaced by their respective (much more difficult) ANOTHER7 charts by mistake.
- This was left untouched for its inclusion in beatmania IIDX 24 SINOBUZ's CLASSIC CLASS 8th Dan course.
