:Similar to Standard/Arcade mode, with the exception that there is no limit on the which songs can be picked for any particular stage.  On home versions, play in Free Mode will continue endlessly until the player chooses to return to the main menu.  On arcade versions, Free Mode allows for the player to play two stages, but the player can pick any song for either stage without limits on difficulty and without having to worry about Game Over if a song is failed.

In arcade versions, it is accessed by highlighting FREE on the mode select screen and pressing the three black keys simultaneously. In console versions, it is a modifier accessed by pressing down the key to change gauge modifier as you select HARD gauge.

;HI-SPEED
;HI-SPEED
:A modifier that affects the scroll rate of the chart. However, the chart itself and the song remain unchanged, with notes spread out to compensate. Early versions of IIDX have only one setting, but newer versions add more options; tricoro and onwards in particular allows adjusting the HI-SPEED multiplier with up to two decimal points of precision.
