-* Once again, all previous beatmania songs have been removed, and were replaced with a brand-new set of 27 songs which include a handful of commissioned songs by UK artists.
+* Once again, all previous beatmania songs have been removed, and are replaced with a brand-new set of 27 songs, which include a handful of commissioned songs by UK artists.
-* ANOTHER difficulty has been renamed to MANIAC.
+* ANOTHER difficulty has been renamed to MANIAC (which was previously the name used for HARD difficulty charts in [[AC bm Club|ClubMIX]]).
-* HARD mode is no longer separate from NORMAL mode. It is now possible to freely switch between NORMAL, HARD, and MANIAC charts at the music selection screen.
+* Charts of different difficulty modes (NORMAL/HARD/MANIAC) are no longer separated between gameplay modes (e.g. EASY and NORMAL in [[AC bm 3rd|3rdMIX]], BASIC and HARD in [[AC bm 4th|4thMIX]].
-* Due to the absence of the Original and Remix categories from [[AC bm CORE REMIX|CORE REMIX]], the song titles are colored based on difficulty: NORMAL is yellow, HARD is red, and MANIAC is green.
+** It is now possible to freely switch between NORMAL/HARD/MANIAC charts on the song select screen in NORMAL and FREE mode.
-* A number of different interface color schemes can be chosen at the mode select menu by pressing the Start button.
+* Song titles graphics are now colored based on the selected difficulty; this trend would continue for the rest of the series.
-* FREE mode introduced, which allows the player to play all the predefined number of songs regardless of difficulty. However, FREE mode only allows you to play 3 stages, as opposed to NORMAL mode's 4.
+** NORMAL: Yellow
-* EXPERT+ mode introduced, which is a course of the ten hardest charts in the game.
+** HARD: Red
-* The option window introduced in CORE REMIX is now available in NORMAL and FREE modes, even when the machine is not in EVENT MODE.
+** MANIAC: Green
+* First beatmania game where selecting the gameplay UI's color scheme (frame color) also changes the menu's color scheme.
+** Also the first beatmania game that explicitly shows the color schemes and names on the MODE SELECT screen.
+*** In [[AC bm 4th|4thMIX]] and [[AC bm 5th|5thMIX]], only the gameplay UI's color scheme (frame color) would be changed upon selection, and there was no explicit indicator on the MODE select screen.
+** A number of different interface color schemes can be chosen at the mode select menu by pressing the Start button.
+* Introduces FREE mode, which guarantees the player the ability to play all stages regardless of passing or failing.
+** However, the number of stages available in FREE mode is less than that of NORMAL mode.
+* Introduces EXPERT+ mode, which is a course of ten songs on ANOTHER difficulty.
+** EXPERT+ contains an exclusive in-game frame consisting of judgment counts for each song played, the maximum combo earned, and the total notes played so far.
+** EXPERT+ also has slightly different groove gauge mechanics from EXPERT mode.
+*** Instead of immediately failing the stage when the groove gauge runs out, it will flash "DANGER!"; getting a certain number of BADs/POORs beyond that point will result in failing the stage.
+*** If "DANGER!" appears during a stage but the stage is cleared, on the next stage the groove gauge will recover to where one tick remains (state before entering "DANGER!").
 * [[Akehiro Hidaka]] and [[Yuuki Kuromitsu]] make their BEMANI debuts.
