Cardinal Gate Extra Stage System

The Cardinal Gate system is a new extra stage system that challenges players to pass four "gates" for their extra stages in an effort to play the One More Extra Stage, "Nageki no Ki." The Cardinal Gate will appear as a folder in the Song Select screen, above "Settings" and below "No Score," once you meet the following criteria:

Cardinal Gate in Standard Mode

  • Pass the first song with at least a B
  • Pass the second song with at least a B. The second song's difficulty rating must be the exact same as or higher than the first song's difficulty rating.
  • For your final song, you must pass a Level 5+ song with at least an A and do one of the following:
    • Finish a Level 5 or 6 song and get a Full Combo
    • Finish a Level 7 song with 100% Groove Gauge
    • If the final song's difficulty is Level 8 or higher, all you need to do is pass it.
  • Any modifier is allowed for your final song.
    • Many people have contributed an easy method: Pass "321 Stars" on HYPER with the EASY modifier on. The song is a very easy Level 8, so all you need to do is pass it.

If done correctly, you will be able to play an Extra Stage, and have access to the Cardinal Gate folder. Upon selection of the folder, you will first be given a warning on its extreme difficulty.

Cardinal Gate Songs

The songs in Cardinal Gate mode are not listed by their song titles, but rather by their artists.

  • SUZAKU (red cube) - Contract
  • SEIRYU (blue cube) - Waxing and Wanding
  • GENBU (green cube) - Ganymede
  • BYAKKO (white cube) - Kachoufusetsu

In order to reach the OMES, the player needs to obtain "marks" for all of the Cardinal Gate songs. This is done by passing all 4 Cardinal Gate songs:

  • The Hard modifier must be on.
  • Autoscratch, 5-key, Mirror, Random, and S-random modifiers must be off.
  • Must be on the ANOTHER difficulty.
  • Must pass with at least an A.

Once all 4 marks are achieved, you can attempt the OMES, "Nageki no Ki," by entering the Cardinal Gate on an extra stage in Standard Mode and playing one of the four songs, meeting the same exact criteria that it took to get the "mark" for that song. If done correctly, the OMES will become playable.

Cardinal Gate in Free Mode

  • Play the 4 Cardinal Gate songs using the method listed for Standard Mode. You can only play one song per extra stage, so this will take at least 4 times. You do not have to pass the song or have any modifiers on.
  • Go to Free Mode and select Start Game, then hold down the Start and Select buttons until the Song Select screen shows up. The cursor should automatically land on the Cardinal Gate folder.

Hidden Songs

  • To unlock CALDERA, play it in the "beatmania" backside expert course.
  • To unlock DRUNK MONKY, play three beatmania songs and qualify for extra stage. It will come up on the song list as the extra stage.
  • To unlock Hybrid Landscape, play one round of Standard, Expert, or Dan modes.
