pop'n music 6

Release Information

• Release date: April 28th, 2001.

General Information / Changes

• First pop'n music game where GOODs don't stop your combo. This has been a series staple since.
• Only pop'n music game where difficulty levels for non-Battle charts are determined by their notecount.
  • Difficulty levels are calculated as such; notecount/20, and then rounded off. (For example, a song with 200 notes would be rated a 10.)
• Result screens no longer show individual performances on buttons, a feature first introduced in pop'n music 2.
• A lot of modes, mods, and cosmetic changes were added to the series in pop'n music 6, including:
  • pop-kuns now being separated into lanes corresponding to their color.
  • BATTLE and EXPERT modes, and CHALLENGE MODE now being available in 5-Button.
  • The introduction of HI-SPEED 3 and 4.
  • EX charts being playable now outside of EXtra Stage.
  • The concept of fully animated intros, this one in case animated by shio.
  • The debut of banners on the song select screen. They were noticeably taller than later games in the series. Come the following installment, the banners were were made smaller, looking closer to those of fellow BEMANI series DanceDanceRevolution.
• First appearance of beatmania sound director Takehiko Fujii, as well GUITARFREAKS & drummania mainstays Hideyuki Ono and Jimmy Weckl in the series.
  • Long-time pop'n music staff member Mr.T writes music for the series for the first time.
• Vocalists ALPHA and Hideo Suwa make their BEMANI debuts.
• This is the first mainline arcade pop'n music title with no new Hiroshi Takeyasu song.
• Only appearance of RGB mode.
• Only pop'n music game where EX charts have no numbers.
• CHALLENGE MODE now lets you use select two different challenges per song.
• NORMAL MODE no longer limits stage numbers exclusively to a certain stage; see this list for more details.
• Total songs: 63
