Changes

HAPPY SKY marks what appears to be a new chapter in the IIDX series, with numerous changes to the difficulty ranking system and modifiers:

• Interface has lots of light blues. The scrolling backgrounds also includes clouds and a sky motif.
• "Light7/Light14" has been renamed to "Normal7/Normal14"; "7Keys/14Keys" has been renamed to "Hyper7/Hyper14". "Another7/Another14" has kept its name.
• The difficulty scale, which previously ranged from Level 1 to Level 8+, has been usurped by a Level 1 to Level 12 scale. All songs on the game have been rescaled to this new difficulty meter.
• HARD CLEAR is now a shown status for clears. It is apparently considered a higher ranking than Full Combo.
• Hi-Speed settings now range from 0.5 to 4.0 at .5 step intervals.
• HIDDEN+ and SUDDEN+ are now selectable modifiers. Acting as an in-game towel mode, you can hold Start as the song begins and spin the turntable to set the amount of Hidden or Sudden you want to use. A grey bar will cover up the portion of the screen you choose. These can be combined for HID+/SUD+, but would have to be set for the same distance on both parts of the screen.
• RANDOM+ is unlockable.
• Extra Stage requirement has changed. To unlock the Extra Stage, you must Hard clear a 10 or higher with at least a AA. To unlock the One More Extra Stage, you must Hard clear the Extra Stage on Another difficulty with a AA or higher.
• Full combo has a rising blue splash.
• Extra Stage: SCREAM SQUAD
• One More Extra Stage: 冥

E-amusement only

• The background music for the Select Music screen can be chosen via IIDX Wave. Choices include music from dj TAKA, Tomosuke, and DJ Yoshitaka, as well as Select Music background music from 7th style onwards.
