pop'n music 6

 

Release Information

  • Release date: April 28th, 2001.

General Information / Changes

  • First pop'n music game where GOODs don't stop your combo. This has been a series staple since.
  • First non-spinoff pop'n music game with anime licenses, featuring pop'n music mascots Mimi and Nyami dressed up for each license. They, as well as other pop'n music characters, would continue doing so for licenses up until pop'n music 15 ADVENTURE.
    • Anime/TV characters are not playable, a trend that would continue in the series until pop'n music 9.
  • Only pop'n music game where difficulty levels for non-Battle charts are determined by their notecount.
    • Difficulty levels are calculated as such; notecount/20, and then rounded off. (For example, a song with 200 notes would be rated a 10.)
  • Result screens no longer show individual performances on buttons, a feature first introduced in pop'n music 2.
  • pop'n music 6 introduced a lot of cosmetic and game mode changes:
    • pop-kuns are now being separated into lanes corresponding to their color.
    • CHALLENGE MODE now being available on 5-Buttons.
    • HI-SPEED 3 and 4 were added.
    • EX charts are now playable outside of EXtra STAGE.
    • First game with a fully animated intro, this one animated by shio.
    • First appearance of banners on the song select screen. They were noticeably taller than later games in the series. The banners were designed slightly shorter on the following installment, looking closer to those of fellow BEMANI series DanceDanceRevolution.
    • Two new game modes were added: BATTLE and EXPERT.
      • BATTLE has two players play with only three buttons (green, white and yellow) on the left or right side of the machine. The blue button triggers a minigame; if you lose, it triggers an Ojama depending on the player's level, which fills with GREATs.
      • EXPERT, a 9-buttons exclusive mode where players play four songs consecutively with a different GROOVE GAUGE that decreases fast for BADs and increases slowly; the game automatically ends once the gauge is depleted at any point.
  • This is the first mainline arcade pop'n music title with no new Hiroshi Takeyasu song.
  • Only appearance of RGB Mode.
  • Only pop'n music game where EX charts have no numbers.
  • Only pop'n music game since the introduction of BPM listings in pop'n music 4 to not list them in-game.
  • CHALLENGE MODE now lets you use select two different challenges per song.
  • NORMAL MODE no longer limits stage numbers exclusively to a certain stage; see this list for more details.
  • System BGM is composed by SIMON MAN.
  • Total songs: 63
