beatmania 6thMIX -THE UK UNDERGROUND MUSIC-

Release Information

  • Release date: July 13th, 2001

General Information / Changes

 

  • First beatmania numbered title in almost two years.
  • Once again, all previous beatmania songs have been removed, and were replaced with a brand-new set of 27 songs which include a handful of commissioned songs by UK artists.
  • ANOTHER difficulty has been renamed to MANIAC.
  • HARD mode is no longer separate from NORMAL mode. It is now possible to freely switch between NORMAL, HARD, and MANIAC charts at the music selection screen.
  • Due to the absence of the Original and Remix categories from CORE REMIX, the song titles are colored based on difficulty: NORMAL is yellow, HARD is red, and MANIAC is green.
  • A number of different interface color schemes can be chosen at the mode select menu by pressing the Start button.
  • FREE mode introduced, which allows the player to play all the predefined number of songs regardless of difficulty. However, FREE mode only allows you to play 3 stages, as opposed to NORMAL mode's 4.
  • EXPERT+ mode introduced, which is a course of the ten hardest charts in the game.
  • The option window introduced in CORE REMIX is now available in NORMAL and FREE modes, even when the machine is not in EVENT MODE.
  • Akehiro Hidaka and Yuuki Kuromitsu make their BEMANI debuts.
