pop'n music 9

Release Information

• Release date: December 26th, 2002.

General Information / Changes

• First pop'n music game to run with e-AMUSEMENT cards, and the first game to support ee'MALL.
• First pop'n music game to feature Osusume (English: recommendation) mode, where the player was asked questions, and the game made a song list based on the answers he/she chose. This mode would be used through pop'n music 11.
• First pop'n music game to feature HITASURA mode, in which you play every song on a certain difficulty scale (1 to 8 stars). You play three songs at a time, and aside from the first song, all other songs are not shown. Progress can be continued with either a password (provided at the end of each round) or the use of e-amusement.
  • Instead of a bar, you have 50 hearts, one taken away for each BAD you get in a song. Once all 50 run out, it's GAME OVER. Hearts will not replenish between rounds.
• First pop'n music game to run on the PS2-based BEMANI Python 1, which was also used for Dancing Stage Fusion and several non-BEMANI titles. The graphics are now more colorful and vibrant than they were on Firebeat. The Python 1 was used up to pop'n music 14 FEVER! and was replaced with BEMANI PC hardware for pop'n music 15 ADVENTURE.
• Last pop'n music game in the series to use the old results sounds.
• The website for pop'n music 9 is the first to list the individual number ratings for each song.
  • It is also the first that shows you every song in the game, not just new songs.
• pop'n music 9 marks one of the very few times in the pop'n music series where remixers for TV & ANIME remixes are thanked by their artist name, as opposed to only crediting the vocalist or no one at all.
• NORMAL MODE no longer has stage restrictions based on the stage number.
• Anime & TV characters are now playable.
• Debut of LONG songs, which are older, double-length pop'n music songs with brand-new charts and banners (though the characters and their MISS backgrounds are from their original games of origin). These songs count as two stages, and can't be played on the final stage or EXtra stage.
  • All LONG songs were removed in pop'n music 16 PARTY♪.
• eAMUSEMENT support for pop'n music 9 ended on August 20th, 2003.
• Theme: cafe.
• Total number of songs: 306

Gambler de Z (ギャンブラーZ)

pop'n music 9's unlock system is Gambler de Z, in which you control an 8-bit TORU KAMIKAZE around a labyrinth, unlocking chests, finding money, and battling bosses. A chiptune version of The theme of GAMBLER Z plays during the event.

After a round of play in ARCADE, you will be given a select amount of die. How many you get depends on how many stages are cleared in the round beforehand: three maximum for a regular round of NORMAL/BATTLE/CHALLENGE (no EXtra Stage), and four for clearing a round of EXPERT/CHALLENGE with EXtra Stage. The first two/three die are regular die, while the final one acts as a multiplier. For example, if you have four die and get 1, 2, 2, and then 3, you'll move 15 spaces. Your goal is to reach the end of the labyrinth, which can end with one of six different battles; please use this map for further details. Aside from boss battles (which are explained in more detail below), all items are random in their placement on the map.

Occasionally TORU KAMIKAZE will encounter a chest, which will feature one of several items: money (which rewards you with nothing), an entry card (which grants you charts/mods/characters), or a brand-new song.

At the end of your run, regardless of the path you take, you will engage in a boss battle, in which you will be forced to play a chart to unlock it for permanent play. If you clear the chart, you'll unlock it instantly. Fail to, and you'll still hurt the opponent a bit, but you'll forced to try again on the next round of play until you either clear the chart, or battle the boss enough times to obtain the chart anyway (their health represented with hearts). Defeated bosses do not return on repeat playthroughs.

After you clear all five bosses, you must traverse one final time to the final boss of WARUDOC, who will always be the boss regardless of what you take (the music also changes to a chiptune version of はばたけ、ザ・グレートギャンブラー on his floor). Defeat WARUDOC to end the event.

Floor songs and unlocks

The following songs are unlocked on song floors. In addition to the end of each path having a boss song, it is preceded with an unlock.
