AC bm complete 2: Difference between revisions

** United States: June 2000  

* The second of two beatmania compilation mixes released, this time including most of the songs from [[AC bm 4th|beatmania 4thMIX -the beat goes on-]] and [[AC bm 5th|beatmania 5thMIX -Time to get down-]], along with a handful of songs from older titles.

** Several ANOTHER charts were added for old songs, along with some ANOTHER-exclusive remixes.

*** Most of the new ANOTHER remixes are simply the original songs with rearranged keysounds.

*** None of these remixes have appeared on any original soundtracks.

** All of the "Hard Version" charts from 5thMIX have been repurposed as ANOTHER difficulty charts for the same song (instead of being separate songs).

* Introduces several new modifiers: 1P-CENTER, HI-SPEED 2/3, and BM-II DOUBLE.

** 1P-CENTER: Allows the player use the 2P keys with the 1P turntable (to mimic the layout of the 1P side in [[Beatmania_IIDX_Information|beatmania IIDX]]).

** HI-SPEED 2/3: Multiplies the scroll speed by x3.0 or x4.0, respectively.

*** HI-SPEED, which was introduced in [[AC bm 5th|5thMIX]] and multiplies the scroll speed by x2.0, is now named HI-SPEED 1.

*** HS2's/HS3's multiplier values of x3.0 and x4.0 would remain the same until CORE REMIX, where they would be changed to x2.0 and x3.0 respectively, for the rest of the series.

* ANOTHER charts now have individual difficulty ratings, instead of sharing the same ratings as the standard charts.

* Difficulty level now goes up to 9, which remained the standard for the rest of the series.

* Difficulty charts can now be switched between by pressing 2+4 (both black keys).

** Previously, ANOTHER charts had to be accessed by selecting a song via button presses at a certain time ([[AC bm 3rd|3rdMIX]] and [[AC bm complete|completeMIX]]), or with 2+3+4 (4thMIX and 5thMIX).

** This method of changing difficulties while not selecting the song was used in most future game in the series.

* First arcade beatmania game to feature an accessible options menu on the song select screen (as opposed to only having an options menu on the title screen).

** Access to this menu must be unlocked by pressing the EFFECT button six times on the song select screen, and then holding EFFECT while selecting options.

* First beatmania game that explicitly warns on the song select screen when a highlighted chart will not allow BATTLE to be used.

** If such a chart is selected anyway, a message saying "BATTLE PLAY NOT AVAILABLE" will appear and a DOUBLE chart will be played instead.

*** This is the previous behavior from 3rdMIX, which was changed in 4thMIX and 5thMIX but reverted and now used in all subsequent games.

* The U.S. release, known as '''hiphopmania completeMIX 2''', contains some of the changes made to the Korean release of [[AC bm 5th|5thMIX]] (different groove gauge, addition of PERFECT PLAY), as well as a few additional changes.

** All licensed songs except for [[KAKATTEKONKAI]] have been removed.

*** As such, some EXPERT courses have alternate songs in place of their absences.
