General Information / Changes
- Port of beatmania 3rdMIX, with some differences:
- The following four songs that were playable in the AC original are not playable here: Beginning of life, DJ BATTLE, jam jam reggae (Funky Jam Cookie mix), and SKA a go go.
- Despite the songs themselves not being playable, some data for the missing songs was left on the disc.
- EXPERT mode is also not playable. Graphical data for the mode was left on the disc, however.
- There is no combo counter, nor do GREATs flash if you have more than 10 combo.
- The following four songs that were playable in the AC original are not playable here: Beginning of life, DJ BATTLE, jam jam reggae (Funky Jam Cookie mix), and SKA a go go.
- Prior to the final game's release, beatmania APPEND 3rdMIX mini was released together with the soundtrack beatmania 3rdMIX complete on November 27th, 1998.
- beatmania APPEND 3rdMIX mini only contains the following five songs: find out, life goes on, Queen's Jamaica, tribe groove, and wild I/O.
- For some unknown reason, life goes on has lower quality audio samples than that of the AC original and final CS version.
- Each song's BGA is recycled from beatmania CS, from the respective song that has the same genre in that game.
- Most of the UI is also recycled from beatmania CS.
- This means that unlike the AC original and final CS version of 3rdMIX, this version does not have thick turntable notes, and the judgment line is red instead of green.
- beatmania APPEND 3rdMIX mini only contains the following five songs: find out, life goes on, Queen's Jamaica, tribe groove, and wild I/O.
- Total songs: 22
