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 are 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 (which was previously the name used for HARD difficulty charts in ClubMIX).
  • Charts of different difficulty modes (NORMAL/HARD/MANIAC) are no longer separated between gameplay modes (e.g. EASY and NORMAL in 3rdMIX, BASIC and HARD in 4thMIX.
    • It is now possible to freely switch between NORMAL/HARD/MANIAC charts on the song select screen in NORMAL and FREE mode.
  • Song titles graphics are now colored based on the selected difficulty; this trend would continue for the rest of the series.
    • NORMAL: Yellow
    • HARD: Red
    • MANIAC: Green
  • First beatmania game where selecting the gameplay UI's color scheme (frame color) also changes the menu's color scheme.
    • Also the first beatmania game that explicitly shows the color schemes and names on the MODE SELECT screen.
      • In 4thMIX and 5thMIX, only the gameplay UI's color scheme (frame color) would be changed upon selection, and there was no explicit indicator on the MODE select screen.
    • A number of different interface color schemes can be chosen at the mode select menu by pressing the Start button.
  • Introduces FREE mode, which guarantees the player the ability to play all stages regardless of passing or failing.
    • However, the number of stages available in FREE mode is less than that of NORMAL mode.
  • Introduces EXPERT+ mode, which is a course of ten songs on ANOTHER difficulty.
    • EXPERT+ contains an exclusive in-game frame consisting of judgment counts for each song played, the maximum combo earned, and the total notes played so far.
    • EXPERT+ also has slightly different groove gauge mechanics from EXPERT mode.
      • Instead of immediately failing the stage when the groove gauge runs out, it will flash "DANGER!"; getting a certain number of BADs/POORs beyond that point will result in failing the stage.
      • If "DANGER!" appears during a stage but the stage is cleared, on the next stage the groove gauge will recover to where one tick remains (state before entering "DANGER!").
