-* beatmania is the very first BEMANI game ever released.
+* beatmania is the very first [[BEMANI]] game ever released.
-* beatmania has the smallest amount of selectable songs in any BEMANI game, with 7 songs available in 1P or 2P mode, and a maximum of 3 are available in one stage.
+* beatmania has 13 selectable songs, counting the two-player versions of songs.
 * beatmania is one of two games in the series (the other being [[AC bm 3rd|beatmania 3rdMIX]]) where EXPERT is accessed via a button command or modifier on the PRESS START screen, instead of by selecting it on a mode selection screen.
 * The song select screen does not display the title of a song, only its genre. The title is only displayed on the splash screen before gameplay.

 *** [[20,november|20,novemver]], [[LOVE SO GROOVY]], and [[2 gorgeous 4U]]/[[greed eater]] are available on Stage 3 and Stage 4, after which the game ends.
 *** [[e-motion|e~emotion]] is available for Stage 3 and 4 if you score high enough on DJ BATTLE.
-* WORST judgments are the same as POOR judgements from all subsequent releases.
+* The lowest judgment in this game is named "WORST"; it would later be changed to "POOR" in [[AC bm 2nd|2ndMIX]], and for the rest of the series.
-* Three songs include ''FREE ZONE'' at the scratch lanes.
+** Pressing a key or scratching the turntable at any time other than when hitting an active note will cause an empty WORST.
-** Only GOOD or WORST can appear at the FREE ZONE.
+*** This empty WORST/POOR mechanic was later used in [[AC bm 2nd|2ndMIX]], but modified from [[AC bm 3rd|3rdMIX]] onward to be less strict.
-** There is no way to obtain 100,000 points on songs with FREE ZONE.
+* Introduces the FREE ZONE mechanic, which allows you to scratch the turntable as much as you want during a FREE ZONE.
-* The stage result screen in normal mode does not show note judge count or total number of notes.
+** The four songs that include at least one FREE ZONE are: [[u gotta groove]] (1P and 2P charts); [[2 gorgeous 4U]] (1P chart); [[greed eater]] (2P chart); [[e-motion|e~emotion]] (2P chart)
-** EXPERT mode does show note judge counts in place of money score between each song.
+** Only a GOOD or WORST judgment can be obtained from a FREE ZONE.
+** As such, there is no way to obtain 100,000 points on a chart that has at least one FREE ZONE.
+** The FREE ZONE mechanic was modified in [[AC bm 2nd|2ndMIX]], then scrapped entirely as of [[AC bm 3rd|3rdMIX]].
+* Introduces the Money Score system, which is comprised of a Stage Score in all modes (out of a theoretical 100,000) and an additional Bonus Score in normal mode (5,730 when a BORDER BONUS is obtained).
+** Due to the aforementioned FREE ZONE mechanic, it is impossible to obtain a Stage Score of 100,000 on a chart that has at least one FREE ZONE.
+** BORDER BONUS: Finish the stage with the minimum amount of gauge required to clear that stage; worth a Bonus Score of 5,730.
+* The stage result screen in normal mode does not show judgement counts or the total number of notes.
+** However, EXPERT mode does show judgement counts in place of Money Score, between each song.
+* Only beatmania game that allows EXPERT mode to be disabled (via a DIP switch setting).
+* Only arcade beatmania game that does not have an Event Mode setting.
