beatmania completeMIX 2
Release Information
- Release date:
- Japan: January 27th, 2000
- United States: June 2000
General Information / Changes
- The second of two beatmania compilation mixes released, this time including most of the songs from beatmania 4thMIX -the beat goes on- and beatmania 5thMIX -Time to get down-, along with a handful of songs from older titles.
- Several ANOTHER charts were added for old songs, along with some ANOTHER-exclusive remixes.
- Most of the new ANOTHER remixes are simply the original songs with rearranged keysounds.
- None of these remixes have appeared on any original soundtracks.
- All of the "Hard Version" songs from 5thMIX have been repurposed as ANOTHER difficulty charts for the same song (instead of being separate songs).
- Several ANOTHER charts were added for old songs, along with some ANOTHER-exclusive remixes.
- Introduces several new modifiers: 1P-CENTER, HI-SPEED 2/3, and BM-II DOUBLE.
- 1P-CENTER: Allows the player use the 2P keys with the 1P turntable (to mimic the layout of the 1P side in beatmania IIDX).
- This modifier was renamed to CENTER in later games.
- HI-SPEED 2/3: Multiplies the scroll speed by x3.0 or x4.0, respectively.
- HI-SPEED, which was introduced in 5thMIX and multiplies the scroll speed by x2.0, is now named HI-SPEED 1.
- BM-II DOUBLE: Moves the 1P- and 2P-side play fields to the center of the screen when playing Double (to mimic the layout of Double Play in beatmania IIDX).
- This modifier was renamed to IIDX DOUBLE in CORE REMIX, and to CENTER DOUBLE in 7thMIX.
- 1P-CENTER: Allows the player use the 2P keys with the 1P turntable (to mimic the layout of the 1P side in beatmania IIDX).
- ANOTHER charts now have individual difficulty ratings, instead of sharing the same ratings as the standard charts.
- Difficulty level now goes up to 9, which remained the standard for the rest of the series.
- Difficulty charts can now be switched between by pressing 2+4 (both black keys).
- Previously, ANOTHER charts had to be accessed by selecting a song via button presses at a certain time (3rdMIX, completeMIX), or with 2+3+4 (4thMIX, 5thMIX).
- This method of changing difficulties while not selecting the song was used in most future game in the series.
- First arcade beatmania game to feature an accessible options menu on the song select screen (as opposed to only having an options menu on the title screen).
- Access to this menu must be unlocked by pressing the EFFECT button six times on the song select screen, and then holding EFFECT while selecting options.
- The U.S. release, known as hiphopmania completeMIX 2, contains some of the changes made to the Korean release of 5thMIX (different groove gauge, addition of PERFECT PLAY), as well as a few additional changes.
- All licensed songs except for KAKATTEKONKAI have been removed.
- As such, some EXPERT courses have alternate songs in place of their absences.
- All licensed songs except for KAKATTEKONKAI have been removed.
- Several songs have a scroll speed modifier applied by default when playing certain charts.
- When using a HI-SPEED option on such a chart, that HI-SPEED's modifier multiplies with that chart's default scroll speed modifier.
