beatmania IIDX 12 HAPPY SKY marks what appears to be a new chapter in the series, with numerous changes to the difficulty ranking system and modifiers:
 
* Interface has lots of light blues. The scrolling backgrounds also includes clouds and a sky motif.
* LIGHT was renamed to NORMAL, and 7KEY/14KEY was renamed to HYPER. ANOTHER is left unchanged.
* The difficulty scale, which previously ranged from Level 1 to Level 8+, has been expanded to a Level 1 to Level 12 scale.  All songs on the game have been rescaled to this new difficulty meter.
* ANOTHER charts are now individually rated.
* HARD CLEAR is now a shown status for clears.  It is apparently considered a higher ranking than FULL COMBO.
* Hi-Speed settings now range from 0.5 to 4.0 at .5 step intervals.
* HIDDEN+ and SUDDEN+ are now selectable modifiers.  Acting as an in-game towel mode, you can hold Start as the song begins and spin the turntable to set the amount of Hidden or Sudden you want to use. A grey bar will cover up the portion of the screen you choose.  These can be combined for HID+/SUD+, but would have to be set for the same distance on both parts of the screen.
* RANDOM+ is unlockable.
