beatmania THE FINAL

Release Information

  • Location test dates:
    • May 17th to 22nd, 2002
    • May 24th to 29th, 2002
    • June 1st to 6th, 2002
  • Release date: July 26th, 2002

General Information / Changes

 

  • Last title of the original beatmania series.
  • beatmania THE FINAL has the biggest song list of the original beatmania series, including several revived songs from every beatmania arcade game (save for DREAMS COME TRUE), a handful of BEMANI crossovers, and almost all of beatmania III's new songs.
    • Songs that are entirely new or debuting in THE FINAL are colored blue on the song wheel.
    • Songs from beatmania III are colored green.
    • Songs from previous AC games are colored white.
    • Songs or charts that cannot be played while BATTLE is active are colored yellow, and have an accompanying warning.
  • Introduces the STEALTH modifier, which causes the notes to not appear at all.
    • This was the previous behavior of HIDDEN+SUDDEN, which now makes the notes briefly appear in the middle of the screen.
  • All song titles are now displayed in the same font. Internally, this is done using the same unique artwork system introduced in CORE REMIX.
  • Most of the returning beatmania songs (and beatmania III songs) that originally had duplicate charts received brand-new ones.
  • The ability to select the menu's and gameplay UI's color scheme (frame color) was removed.
    • The mixes that allowed this were 4thMIX, 5thMIX, 6thMIX, and 7thMIX.
    • Instead, the gameplay UI's color scheme (frame color) is based on the difficulty of the chart that is being played.
      • NORMAL: Yellow
      • HARD: Red
      • ANOTHER: Green
  • Background movies are now displayed in a little box, instead of occupying most of the center of the screen.
    • These mainly consist of generic animation clips, some from various older beatmania games; however, a few songs have unique clips.
    • MISS animations were removed as well.
  • In all modes except EXPERT+, the in-game frame is now similar to the default frame of EXPERT mode in 7thMIX, which has judgment counters and enabled modifiers displayed.
    • In addition, four different types of graphics mode combinations can be selected on the MODE SELECT screen.
      • Default: Displays judgment counters and movies.
      • SCORE ATTACK: Does not display judgment counters or movies; these are covered with overlays.
      • COUNTER ONLY: Displays judgment counters only; movies are covered with an overlay.
      • MOVIE ONLY: Displays movies only; judgment counters are covered with an overlay.

Songs With Default Scroll Speed Multipliers

  • Some songs in this game have a scroll speed multiplier applied to them by default when playing certain charts.
    • In other words, on such charts, the in-game BPM is higher than the displayed BPM, and thus the chart scrolls faster than the displayed BPM would imply.
    • When a HI-SPEED option is used on such a chart, that HI-SPEED's multiplier will stack (multiply) with that chart's default scroll speed multiplier.
  • Songs that have such charts, as well as other relevant information, are shown in the table below (for all games and applicable songs, see here).
Song Display BPM Multiplier (N/H/A*) In-Game BPM (N/H/A*)
7000 Questions 112 x1.2 / x1.2 / x1.2 134.4 / 134.4 / 134.4

Codes & Unlock Information

Operator Unlock Code

  • Unlike in other beatmania games, content in THE FINAL must be unlocked via an operator unlock code.

Event Mode

Selecting Options, Song Sort, Frame Type, and Mode During Event Mode
  • When Event Mode is enabled, there are several differences in making selections, which are as follows.
    • The options menu cannot be shown on the title screen, preventing selection of options from there.
    • The Mode Select menus are skipped, preventing selection of game mode, frame type, and graphics mode.
    • Song selection is performed with the START button(s), instead of a white key button (1/3/5 or 6/8/10).
    • To make each selection, follow the procedures below on the song select screen.
  • Select Options
    • Press and hold the EFFECT button, then press the corresponding key button(s) shown on screen.

  • Select Song Sort
    • Press and hold the EFFECT button, then press either START button.
      • Default: Song Name

      • SEPARATE: 1 and/or 6 (leftmost white key button on either side)
  • Select Mode

          • However, if a chart says that BATTLE cannot be played and BATTLE is selected anyway, it will play two-player non-BATTLE mode (DOUBLE chart with two lifebars).
Show Judgment Counters and/or Movies During Gameplay

    • To show judgment counters and/or movies during gameplay, follow the steps below.
  1. Power on the machine with the Event Mode DIP switch (3-1) OFF, then start the game (if already powered on, enter TEST MODE, turn the switch to OFF, then exit TEST MODE).
  2. During the Mode Select menus, on the graphic mode menu, select the desired display option for judgment counters and background movies.
  3. On the song select screen, select any song.
