GuitarFreaks Changes
- Guitar now features 5 frets, in order from left to right on the game screen: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Purple. The Red through Yellow frets are used on NOVICE and REGULAR difficulties, and all frets are used on EXPERT and MASTER difficulties.
- Open Pick mode has been removed entirely. Open notes now appear on EXPERT and MASTER difficulties for Guitar and Bass.
- Wailing bonuses must now be performed in a specific direction, either up, down, or right.
- A foot effector has been added, which allows the guitar to be played with Chorus, Delay, or Reverb effects. The guitar effect knob has been retained, which now alters the effect strength.
- Guitar neck and body have been made significantly lighter.
DrumMania Changes
- Drums now feature a left cymbal (LC), floor tom (FT), and left pedal (LP) in addition to the existing kit: hi-hat (HH), snare drum (SN), high tom (HT), low tom (LT), bass pedal (BP), and cymbal (CY).
- The left pedal is used only on EXPERT and MASTER difficulties, and depending on the song, serves as a hi-hat and/or a bass drum.

- A: LC HH LP SN HT BP LT FT CY (Default)
- B: LC HH SN LP BP HT LT FT CY
- C: LC HH LP SN BP HT LT FT CY
- A drum kit with the viewing lanes is now displayed onscreen, and is now placed in front of the song video.
