AC bm complete: Difference between revisions

* Release date:

** Japan: January 19th, 1999

* The first of two beatmania compilation mixes released. completeMIX contains all of the songs from [[AC bm 1st|beatmania]], [[AC bm 2nd|2ndMIX]], and [[AC bm 3rd|3rdMIX]], along with two new songs and two English versions of older songs.

** The same 200,000 money score would later be adopted in the [[AC General Info|beatmania IIDX series]], until its removal in [[AC BISTROVER|BISTROVER]].

* First beatmania game to display both genres ''and'' song titles on the song select screen.

* First beatmania game to have separate chart ratings for different difficulties.

* First beatmania game to feature Flashing GREATs as a separate, more accurate judgment from regular GREATs.

** As such, Flashing GREATs are worth more money score in the normal game modes, and EX score in INTERNET RANKING and EXPERT modes.

** Although [[AC_bm_3rd|3rdMIX]] did feature Flashing GREATs, it was only used to indicate an ongoing combo of at least 11 GREATs, and not as a separate judgment.

* First BEMANI game with the alternate scoring scheme called EX Score, which would become a regular competition standard in some later BEMANI games.

** Flashing GREATs increase the score by 2; regular GREATs increase the score by 1; GOODs/BADs/POORs do not increase or decrease the score.

** The same scoring scheme later carried over to [[AC_1st_style|beatmania IIDX]] and subsequent games in that series.

* First beatmania game to feature INTERNET RANKING mode, which replaces EXPERT mode while playing SINGLE or 1P & 2P (EXPERT appears instead when playing DOUBLE).

** During gameplay in INTERNET RANKING, the frame is gold instead of the standard gray (which EXPERT also uses).

** In INTERNET RANKING, when you clear a certain number of stages in a course, an INTERNET RANKING code is displayed, which could be entered on KONAMI's official website during active INTERNET RANKING periods.

** In INTERNET RANKING, if you fail a stage, you fail the entire course and are not allowed to continue (unlike in EXPERT).

**** [[AC bm Club|ClubMIX]] was the last game that retained this behavior; starting in [[AC bm DREAMS COME TRUE|DREAMS COME TRUE]] and through the rest of the games, you cannot continue after failing in EXPERT while playing any mode.

* First BEMANI game worked on by CG designer [[Hotaru Matsuzaki]], known then as MZD FIRE FLY.

* Total songs: 44

== Unlock All Songs ==

* To unlock all songs in HARD mode (does not work in EASY mode), follow the steps below on the title screen while it says to press either START button.

# Press and hold 1+4, turn the 1P turntable clockwise once, then release 1+4.

# Press and hold 2+5, turn the 1P turntable clockwise once, then release 2+5.

# Press and hold 4, press START, then release 4 and press and hold 2 until the title screen completely fades out.

* If performing the code still does not unlock songs, the turntable wiring is reversed and should be corrected.

 

 

* To select options, do so on the title screen while it says to press either START button, via one or both of the methods below.

 

*** Strictly speaking, only 2-4-2-4-2-4 needs to be pressed, but it may be easier to keep pressing 2 and 4 repeatedly.

*** If the 2P side is active, 7 and 9 can be pressed instead of 2 and 4.

== Event Mode ==

;Selecting Mode During Event Mode

* When Event Mode is enabled, there are several differences in making selections, which are as follows.

*** As noted in [[AC_bm_complete#Select_Options|Select Options]], the "Key Buttons" options are also unavailable.

*** As such, there is no known way to select options during Event Mode.

** Song selection is performed with the START button(s), instead of a white or black key button (1/2/3/4/5 or 6/7/8/9/10).

** To make each selection, follow the procedures below on the song select screen.

** Press the following button(s).

**** Two-player non-BATTLE mode (DOUBLE chart with two lifebars) cannot be specifically selected while in Event 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).

**** Possibly due to a bug, if BATTLE was the last mode selected before the GAME OVER screen appears, the game will skip the title screen and go straight to the song select screen.
