CastHour SPACE is beatmania IIDX 29's CastHour unlock event, which began on December 16th, 2021. It will appear with one player only. [[e-amusement]] is required to play the event.


When the event begins, right before music select, you choose a PLATFORM with the turntable. Once you choose your PLATFORM, you then choose from a set of songs separated into what the game calls "channels". Playing songs fills the gauge of that channel, but you'll get double progress for playing songs under "Recommend Channel" (showing a clip of a beatmania IIDX song), as well as playing one of five songs/artists/genres (人気のワード) from the list below on the bottom part of the screen which change at each credit . Playing with a VIP BLACK PASS will also give you a large boost.

Once you reach certain points in the gauges, you'll unlock the NORMAL, HYPER, and ANOTHER charts of that song in that respective order, as well as LISNA and V-DISCs. (ANOTHER charts will always be the last unlock, regardless of what song you choose.) One more channel will be revealed after you unlock all previous ones; complete that to end the PLATFORM.

CastHour SPACE is also an EXTRA Stage system, and similar to past EXTRA STAGE systems, this only appears on PREMIUM START when playing on Japanese cabinets (which requires [[PASELI]]). Note that CastHour SPACE songs from past PLATFORMS are not required to unlock first.
The sum of difficulty levels, DJ LEVEL, and clear type are the main requirements to make the songs available for EXTRA STAGE. All the charts are playable from the first day of a CastHour SPACE song's appearance. The conditions to access the EXTRA STAGE-exclusive songs change based on the Phase it is in:

By obtaining the same conditions when playing an EXTRA STAGE-exclusive song (currently only ANOTHER charts are available), the player will access ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE, retaining any modifiers used such as the gauge used and whether it is played on Single or Double. Unlike past Extra Stage systems, these songs are not instantly unlocked for regular play (similar to [[AC Lincle|Lincle]] and earlier regular EXTRA STAGE system), thus the same unlocking conditions have to be fulfilled in order to play the song again.


Each song unlocked earns you a Bronze Tran Medal. Completing a PLATFORM unlocks a Silver Tran Medal.
