Information / Changes

First pop'n music game with an anime opening.
- MZD, FUGA, HIUMI, RETSU, RINKA, and nia all appear in the opening.
- FUGA, HIUMI, RETSU, RINKA are also featured on the title screen. The pop'n music ラピストリア marquee also show them along with Mimi and Nyami.
- The portrait designs of most of the new and returning characters for the new ラピストリア songs have changed to the same art style as the anime opening (the animation sprites retain the same design style as older games, though).
Scoring ratio was changed from 10:5:1:0 to 10:7:4:0 for COOL:GREAT:GOOD:BAD respectively.
None of the banners for the new ラピストリア songs have genres on them. It's currently unknown if they'll be added on the final release.
- Banners of the old pop'n music songs were kept intact, though.
The song selection screen's layout was changed: the songwheel only have the song banners on them, with the song artist below the banners.
None of the new songs have Music Comments. It's currently unknown if they'll be added on the final release.
Song backgrounds were removed. Instead, generic animated backdrops are used.
The Options screen was changed:
- Eight options can be set now: HI-SPEED, POP-KUN, GAUGE TYPE, RANDOM, HIDDEN, SUDDEN, OJAMA 1 and OJAMA 2.
- HI-SPEED can now be increased/decreased by 0.1 amounts, instead of 0.5 amounts like previous releases.
  - It also displays which will be the new BPM after applying the chosen HI-SPEED.
- GAUGE TYPE can be set as EASY (half damage), NORMAL, HARD (double damage) or DANGER (1 BAD drains your entire gauge).
- HIDDEN/SUDDEN are now togglable in-game by pressing the 0/00 buttons of the numeric keypad, respectively.
- Several OJAMAs have been removed, including the HI-SPEED/HID-SUD/HELL/DEATH OJAMAs (due to the changes to other options), every POP-KUN modifier, Chou/FuwaFuwa Judgment Line (超/ふわふわ判定ライン), Press OJAMAs (上下プレス, 左右プレス, 上下プレス＆プレス, 左右プレス＆プレス, スライド, 交互プレス, 上下さかさま), DARK and DANCE OJAMAs.
