== Play Any Song (or Ending) == | |||
* In beatmania through [[AC bm 3rd|3rdMIX]], there is a hidden feature that allows the player(s) to select any song (or the ending) regardless of stage, via a combination of the test switch and specific key button(s). | |||
** In beatmania, there are two methods for activating this feature on the song select screen. | |||
*** 1. Simultaneously press the specific key and the test switch at the exact same time. | |||
*** 2. While holding the specific key, press the test switch. | |||
*** If only the test switch is pressed, the song select screen will fade out, then fade back in (with the timer having been reset). | |||
**** This fade-out/fade-in can be utilized to make selection easier: while the song select screen fades out, press and hold the specific key(s) before it fades in, then press the test button again after it fades in. | |||
*** If more than one key (e.g. 1+4) is pressed at the same time, the higher key (4) will take selection priority and the corresponding song will be selected. | |||
* The specific keys to press for selecting each song (or the ending) are as follows. | |||
** [[20,november|20,novemver (radio edit)]]: 6 (two-player only) | |||
** [[20,november|20,novemver (single mix)]]: 6 (one-player only) | |||
