 * Last title of the original beatmania series.
-* beatmania THE FINAL has the biggest song list of the original beatmania series, which includes several revived songs from every beatmania arcade game (save for [[AC bm DREAMS COME TRUE|beatmania featuring DREAMS COME TRUE]]), a handful of BEMANI crossovers, and almost all of [[AC bm III|beatmania III]]'s new songs.

-** beatmania III crossovers are colored green on the song wheel.
+** Songs that are entirely new or debuting in THE FINAL are colored blue on the song wheel.
-* Selectable color schemes were removed.
+** Songs from beatmania III are colored green.
+** Songs from previous AC games are colored white.
+** Songs or charts that cannot be played while BATTLE is active are colored yellow, and have an accompanying warning.
+* Introduces the STEALTH modifier, which causes the notes to not appear at all.
+** This was the previous behavior of HIDDEN+SUDDEN, which now makes the notes briefly appear in the middle of the screen.
+* All song titles are now displayed in the same font. Internally, this is done using the same unique artwork system introduced in [[AC bm CORE REMIX|CORE REMIX]].
 * Most of the returning beatmania songs (and beatmania III songs) that originally had duplicate charts received brand-new ones.
-* All song titles are now displayed in the same font. Internally, this is done using the same unique artwork system introduced in [[AC bm CORE REMIX|CORE REMIX]].
+* The ability to select the menu's and gameplay UI's color scheme (frame color) was removed.
-* Due to memory limitations, movies are now displayed as a little box, with generic animations from various older beatmania games used. However, a few songs have unique little clips.
+** The mixes that allowed this were [[AC bm 4th|4thMIX]], [[AC bm 5th|5thMIX]], [[AC bm 6th|6thMIX]], and [[AC bm 7th|7thMIX]].
+** Instead, the gameplay UI's color scheme (frame color) is based on the difficulty of the chart that is being played.
+*** NORMAL: Yellow
+*** HARD: Red
+*** ANOTHER: Green
+* Background movies are now displayed in a little box, instead of occupying most of the center of the screen.
+** These mainly consist of generic animation clips, some from various older beatmania games; however, a few songs have unique clips.
 ** MISS animations were removed as well.
-* A judgment counter similar to that which can be enabled in EXPERT mode in [[AC bm 7th|beatmania 7thMIX]] is now always present. It can be disabled, but this only hides the judgment numbers and covers the frame of the counter with an overlay.
+* In all modes except EXPERT+, the in-game frame is now similar to the default frame of EXPERT mode in [[AC bm 7th|7thMIX]], which has judgment counters and enabled modifiers displayed.
-* HIDDEN+SUDDEN now makes the notes briefly appear in the middle of the screen, as opposed to not appear at all. As such, the STEALTH modifier, which retains the old HIDDEN+SUDDEN behaviour, was added.
+** In addition, four different types of graphics mode combinations can be selected on the MODE SELECT screen.
+*** Default: Displays judgment counters and movies.
+*** SCORE ATTACK: Does not display judgment counters or movies; these are covered with overlays.
+*** COUNTER ONLY: Displays judgment counters only; movies are covered with an overlay.
+*** MOVIE ONLY: Displays movies only; judgment counters are covered with an overlay.
 * Several songs have a scroll speed modifier applied by default when playing certain charts.
 ** When using a HI-SPEED option on such a chart, that HI-SPEED's modifier multiplies with that chart's default scroll speed modifier.
