beatmania 2ndMIX

Release Information

  • Release date: March 18th, 1998

General Information / Changes

  • HIDDEN modifier is introduced, which makes notes disappear in the middle of the screen.
  • DOUBLE modifier is introduced, which allows a single player to play the 1P & 2P version of charts while using a single lifebar and score counter.
  • Difficulty levels are now on a scale of 1 to 6.
  • Hiroshi Watanabe makes his BEMANI debut.
  • 20,novemver and e~emotion had their typos from the previous game fixed, and are now 20,november and e-motion.
  • Some of the mechanics of FREE ZONE were changed:
    • Some scratch notes can appear during FREE ZONE.
      • To obtain a GREAT, players must play perfectly (i.e. obtain what would be considered a GREAT judgment) during every scratch note of the FREE ZONE. It is counted as one GREAT, which is why notecounts are not different between the original beatmania and 2ndMIX.
    • By playing perfectly, a base Stage Score of 100,000 points can now be obtained on all songs.
