 :First Game: [[PnM_AC_6|pop'n music 6]]
 :You and one other person play simplified charts of only three buttons each (the white, green, and yellow buttons on both sides of the controller), with the goal being to get the most points across three stages. Score enough points and you can unleash various ojamas at certain levels (with 4/MAX being the highest). This mode was not in [[PnM_CS_6|pop'n music 6 CS]], but it was present on all the PS2 installments.
-;BPM
-:First Game: [[PnM_AC_4|pop'n music 4]]
-:Beats per minute. This determines the scrolling rate for the notes in a song. In pop'n music games [[PnM_AC_4|4]], [[PnM_AC_5|5]], and [[PnM_AC_7|7]], they were displayed alongside songs on the song select screen. ([[PnM_AC_6|6]] does not list the BPM of the songs anywhere in the game, and the first two games listed do not display BPM in-song.) Starting with [[PnM_AC_8|pop'n music 8]], the BPM of a song is listed during the loading screen of a song before play. From [[PnM_AC_7|pop'n music 7]] onwards it's always displayed during the song.

-:A note that registers more accurate than a Great. First introduced in courses, but later spon off into its own mode in [[PnM_AC_13|pop'n music 13 カーニバル]] called "超CHALLENGEモード". Cools can also be played in Free Mode in [[PnM_CS_14|pop'n music 14 FEVER! CS]]; scores with/without Cools are stored separately. ([[PnM_CS_13|pop'n music 13 カーニバル CS]] lets you play with Cools on in Free Mode, but doesn't display the scores in Records.) In [[PnM CS Portable|pop'n music portable]], cools are ''always'' on.

 :A level of difficulty higher than Normal, but less than EX. They are highlighted in yellow on most games' music select screens. Songs in this level range between 10 to the high 30's. (The highest to date is [[Concertare]], a 42.) Originally a CS exclusive level of play - Hyper charts weren't introduced in the arcade until [[PnM_AC_3|pop'n music 3]], and only playable in Hyper mode (a course consisting of Hyper-only notecharts). Hyper notecharts became available for normal arcade play in [[PnM_AC_4|pop'n music 4]]. Since [[PnM_AC_6|pop'n music 6]], all new AC/CS songs (except for a few licenses in [[PnM_AC_10|pop'n music 10]]) have Hyper charts.
 :Over the years some older songs have been given Hyper charts as well.

In addition, in most of the later AC/CS games, a little mark with three crowns/onions/whatever will be displayed next to the song Full Combo'd.
