* The interface has been totally redesigned. The new design features lots of purple and computerized elements.
* Difficulty levels are now on a scale of 1 to 7.
* First beatmania game to list artists for the song on the music select screen.
* The BATTLE modifier was changed so that if a chart that does not allow BATTLE is selected, it would instead play a lower difficulty chart with BATTLE (no message appears to indicate such).
** Previously, if such a chart was selected, a message saying "BATTLE PLAY NOT AVAILABLE" would appear and a DOUBLE chart would be played instead.

* The score calculation of BASIC and HARD MODE are unique:
** GOOD = 100,000 ÷ TotalNotes ÷ 5
** GREAT (1-10) = 100,000 ÷ TotalNotes + 50,000 ÷ (45 + 10 ×  (TotalNotes - 10)) × (Combo - 1)
** GREAT (11-more) = 100,000 ÷ TotalNotes + 50,000 ÷ (45 + 10 ×  (TotalNotes - 10)) × 10
** JUST GREAT (1-10) = 150,000 ÷ TotalNotes + 50,000 ÷ (45 + 10 ×  (TotalNotes - 10)) × (Combo - 1)
** JUST GREAT (11-more) = 150,000 ÷ TotalNotes + 50,000 ÷ (45 + 10 ×  (TotalNotes - 10)) × 10

* First beatmania game sound directed by [[Takehiko Fujii]], who would stay on this position until the [[AC bm THE FINAL|last beatmania game]].
* First beatmania game where GOOD does not break your combo.
** Subsequent games until [[AC bm DREAMS COME TRUE|DREAMS COME TRUE]] did not retain this behavior.
* First beatmania game that allows the gameplay UI's color scheme (frame color) to be selected.
** Other mixes that allow this are [[AC bm 5th|5thMIX]], [[AC bm 6th|6thMIX]], and [[AC bm 7th|7thMIX]].
* [[Kouichi Yamazaki]], [[Toshiyuki Kakuta]], and [[Yasushi Kurobane]] make their BEMANI debuts.
