General Information

  • Despite all other BEMANI games aside from SOUND VOLTEX II -infinite infection- having the numbering scheme removed as of 2012, beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA thus marks the only BEMANI game to continue doing so.
  • SPADA is also the first time a beatmania IIDX title is written entirely in capital letters since beatmania IIDX 17 SIRIUS.
    • It is also the second post-IIDX RED title to have the same first letter as an older title (SIRIUS), with the first pair being DistorteD and DJ TROOPERS.
  • SPADA is the first game since Resort Anthem where its first location test is not held on the month of April consecutively. It is also the first game to have its location test for more than a year after the last one (tricoro on April 2012), instead of the usual 10-12 month interval between games after 8th style.
  • SPADA is the first beatmania IIDX game since Resort Anthem that has not been released in September.
  • SPADA is the first beatmania IIDX game to have its OST release date announced before the game itself is out.
    • The OST and the game have the shortest gap between releases of any beatmania IIDX game.
  • SPADA is italian for "sword".
  • Changes to the game menu:
    • Default announcer is male.
    • New category introduced, named "MY FAVORITE". You can add songs to this category by pressing the VEFX button during the result screen of the song you have played.
    • The 1 button on the numeric keypad now changes difficulties, other than the VEFX one.
    • The 2 button on the numeric keypad opens the song sorting window. Cannot be done with the black buttons anymore.
      • It's now possible to sort songs when a category folder is open.
    • By pressing the 3 button on the numeric keypad, you can freely change between Single and Double play on the music select screen. This is only possible with one player.
      • SINGLE / DOUBLE selection window still appears before selecting game modes. This is the only way to activate the RIVAL setting of the respective play mode, as switching SINGLE and DOUBLE in the song menu screen will not switch SP/DP Rival settings.
      • Cannot be done in STEP UP and Dan nintei modes.
      • SINGLE and DOUBLE settings are separate now.
      • SINGLE / DOUBLE notification is displayed on the bottom right of the menu screen.
      • Consequently, price for DP credits is gone.
    • Titles of the new songs are written with a violet font.
  • Result screen has been overhauled:
    • Mode type (Single/Double), difficulty name and difficulty rating are displayed below the Rank.
    • COMBO BREAKS are now counted.
    • Amount of FAST/SLOW notifiers gathered in a song is now always displayed, instead of being a hidden viewable feature.
    • If you fail to HARD CLEAR a song, the chart measure and note where you have lost will be shown.
    • Total Notes information are now shown again in the result screen.
    • The RANK shown is written with a new font and its color depends on which rank you get:
      • AAA: Gold
      • AA: Silver
      • A and B: Green
      • C to F: Blue
    • The Score Gauge, which is always seen in the game menu, now too appears in the ranking section for each player.
    • The bar of the Score Gauge appears with different colors, depending on which RANK is obtained.
  • Changes to the gameplay UI:
    • The difficulty level of the song is now shown next to the difficulty name.
    • The Groove gauge appears closer to the buttons/scratch lane.
    • Max Combo, Score and BPM information are now correctly arranged when the score graph is turned off.
    • Max Combo and Score information are arranged on the top layer when the score graph is turned on.
    • Stage information appears in the middle of the top layer.
  • Difficulty selection in STEP UP mode is strictly tied to your DAN rank now.
  • All the hidden songs from tricoro are not already unlocked in SPADA. If you didn't unlock them in tricoro, you have to unlock them in SPADA.
    • In addition, the Lincle Link, Café de Tran, Private BEMANI Academy, and Q-pro, Mimi, Nyami & Pastel-kun no Minna de Uchuu Sensou!! songs are also still locked if you didn't unlock them in tricoro.
  • †渚の小悪魔ラヴリィ~レイディオ† now has its own video, the same one introduced in DanceDanceRevolution (2013).
