== 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 2ndMIX, there are two methods for activating this feature on the song select screen. | |||
*** 1. Simultaneously press the specific key(s) and the test switch at the exact same time. | |||
*** 2. While holding the specific key(s), 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). | |||
