:A variant of FREE mode, but with four stages and a new restriction: if you break combo at any point, you fail the song instantly. In arcade versions, it is accessed by highlighting FREE on the mode select screen and pressing the three black keys simultaneously. In console versions, it is a GAUGE modifier accessed by holding down the key to change gauge modifier as you select HARD gauge. A variant of this mode introduced in [[AC SINOBUZ|SINOBUZ]] is TIME HAZARD, which was set to eight minutes instead. | :A variant of FREE mode, but with four stages and a new restriction: if you break combo at any point, you fail the song instantly.

:A modifier that affects the scroll rate of the chart. However, the chart itself and the song remain unchanged, with notes spread out to compensate. Early versions of beatmania IIDX have only one setting, but newer versions add more options; [[AC tricoro|tricoro]] and onwards in particular allows adjusting the HI-SPEED multiplier with up to two decimal points of precision. Rootage revised the modifier by adding preset HI-SPEED settings which regulate the scroll rate (though it also be affected with any BPM changes). HEROIC VERSE restored the pre-Lincle HI-SPEED setting while HI-SPEED can be set at a 0.25 increment, up from 0.5. | :A modifier that affects the scroll rate of the chart.
