General Arcade Gameplay
Pop'n Music has a very straightforward menu layout and playing screen. The first screen encountered is of course the credit screen. Insert coins to activate the buttons. On most AC versions, codes are entered at this point, before pressing the red button to start. On e-AMUSEMENT enabled consoles, your card should be inserted now. Navigation through menus is very simple:
- Red button makes selections and advances menus
- White buttons cancel selections when available
- Blue buttons scroll left and right or up and down through all menus
- Green buttons scroll horizontally through the song select screen
- Yellow buttons, when held down, advance a large distance through the song select screen
The first menu will be the game mode select screen. Here you can pick between battle mode, challenge mode, beginners mode, and the like. After selecting a game mode, you will need to select the number of buttons you wish to play with, 5 or 9. This will bring you to the song select screen. Once you've chosen a song, gameplay will start.
After the song, your play will be judged. After the final song, a rundown of all your songs will be shown, and if you qualify, the name entry screen will be displayed.
