[[Image:IIDX 2006 logo.png|400px]]

* METAL GEAR SOLID Main Theme
* Game modes include GAME (aka "ARCADE" in the Japanese versions), FREE, EXPERT, a new PRACTICE mode (a lesson mode), and TRAINING.

* s.d.z.
* Tutorial narrated by [[Scott Dolph]].
* u gotta groove
* Total songs: 58 (30 exclusive to beatmania IIDX, 17 exclusive to beatmania, and 11 in both)


== 7-Key ==
== Changes/Differences from other beatmania IIDX CS games ==
* Dancin' Into The Night
* Main game is split into two types: beatmania (5-keys) and beatmania IIDX (7-keys).
* g.m.d.
* ANOTHER difficulty must be unlocked by playing ''all'' songs in beatmania mode and beatmania IIDX mode, aside from [[jam jam reggae]] and [[5.1.1.]].
* Hitch Hiker
** Additional IIDX Expert courses are unlocked in the same manner.
* I Was The One
* Songs in beatmania mode have only one difficulty chart.
* in my eyes
** Additionally, no US exclusives in the beatmania IIDX mode have ANOTHER charts.
* LOVE IS DREAMINESS
* A few HYPER charts were "toned down", according to the staff of the game in an interview. No other charts were changed.
* M-02stp.ver1.01
* JUST GREAT timing is now called PERFECT.
* Nothing Ain't Stoppin' Us
* LIGHT7/7KEY have been renamed to NORMAL/HYPER. BEGINNER and ANOTHER remain unchanged.
* THE SHINING POLARIS
* HARD modifier has been renamed to CHALLENGE, or "CHA" for short.
* [[V]]
* In beatmania mode, FREE Scratch ZONEs have returned. FREE Scratch ZONEs are areas in songs where you can scratch as much or as little as you want. Scratching here will only increase your [[Money Score|money score]] - it has no effect on your EX score or grade.
* Only CS beatmania IIDX game with a REPLAY option; replays can be saved after a song is completed in FREE.
* Autoplay option is not available in FREE on either the beatmania or beatmania IIDX sides.
* RECORDS features, in addition to grade and individual note performance, the money score, playcount, and max combo organized of a song in a Dance Dance Revolution-style grid.
* Songs must be played in GAME before they appear in FREE, similar to [[CS 3rd style|3rd]] through [[CS 6th style|6th style CS]].
** Only [[jam jam reggae]] is playable by default in beatmania's FREE mode, while only [[5.1.1.]] is available in beatmania IIDX's.
* Grade requirements have been reduced by 1/9 a grade each all around (i.e. 7/9 possible EX points for a AAA rank, as opposed to 8/9 of every other game).
* All beatmania songs received new videos.
* Near all of the overlays have been removed from beatmania IIDX videos, with the sole exception being [[PARANOiA MAX~DIRTY MIX~|PARANOIA MAX~DIRTY MIX~]].
** Songs with unique videos remain untouched for the most part, though.


= Known Information =
== Staff Information ==
* [[beatmania (2006) credits]]


* The judgement system has changed; there is now a judgement called "Perfect", presumably replacing Just Great. (Source: [http://media.ps2.ign.com/media/748/748592/img_2985964.html IGN Screenshot])
= Song List =
* Difficulties are listed as "Beginner", "Normal", and "Hyper".  Another may or may not exist.
=== beatmania (5KEYS) ===
* Difficulties are now on a 1-10 scale, using stars. There may or may not be "flashing 10"/10+ rated songs.
{{bm Songlist Header3|
* Hard has apparently been renamed to "Challenge", or "CHA" for short.
{{bm Song3|REGGAE|[[jam jam reggae]]|[[Reo Nagumo|jam master'73]]|90|1|1}}
* 5-key mode is known as "beatmania" mode, 7-key mode is known as "beatmania IIDX" mode. Konami no longer appears to be removing references to IIDX from videos, etc.
{{bm Song3|WARP HOUSE|[[OVERBLAST!!]]|[[Toshiyuki Kakuta|L.E.D.]]|147|1|1}}
* In 5-key mode, Free Zones have returned. Free Zones are areas in older songs where you can pretty much scratch as much or as little as you want. However, you could only get a Good - it was not possible to get a Great on a Free Zone. It is not known whether this problem has been corrected in this version.

== From E3 ==
= Expert Mode Courses =
beatmania courses have only one difficulty, while beatmania IIDX courses have three difficulties: Light/Standard/Heavy. Unlike the rest of the game, this keeps track of EX scores. Courses beginning with IIDX are the IIDX mode Internet Ranking courses, and courses beginning with beatmania are the 5key mode Internet Ranking courses. Internet ranking is no longer available.


* The grading system appears to have changed; it's possible to get a AAA with a money score of 170,000, or with more Greats than Just Greats. (Source: John Stiles)

* Songs are divided between 5-key mode and 7-key mode; they do not appear on both. (Source: Bemanistyle)

* Difficulties have changed - Nothing Ain't Stoppin' Us is a 5.  (Source: [http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/puzzle/beatmania/screens.html?page=44 Gamespot screen shots].)
