''beatmania IIDX'' has long been a 'cult' game because of the sheer learning curve of the game for new players, unlike other BEMANI games like DanceDanceRevolution. The machine is often found in Japanese, Asian and Korean arcades, but they are rare in American and European arcades.

=== Clear Lamps ===
When playing on your e-amusement account, the game will record your pass/fail/scoring data on each song. This will be shown on the song select screen as a glowing light next to the song's title, known as a Clear Lamp.
Clear Lamps will glow depending on the best result you obtained playing that particular song.
* No light: The song has not yet been played.
* Flickering red light (since HEROIC VERSE) or Flickering blue light (ULTIMATE MOBILE only): The song was attempted, but the player failed, regardless of song difficulty. Before HEROIC VERSE, the light was colored green/blue/yellow/red, depending on the difficulty played (BEGINNER, NORMAL, HYPER, and ANOTHER respectively).
* Bright purple light: "Assist Clear" The song was passed with the help of modifiers that make the song easier.
* Bright green light: "Easy Clear" The song was passed using the "Easy" groove gauge setting. The same lamp color was used before HEROIC VERSE to denote songs cleared on BEGINNER.
* Blue light (since HEROIC VERSE): The song was cleared, regardless of song difficulty. Before HEROIC VERSE, the light was colored bright blue/yellow/red, depending on the difficulty played (NORMAL, HYPER, and ANOTHER respectively).
* White light: The song was passed using the "Hard" groove gauge setting.
* Flashing red and yellow: The song was passed using the "EX Hard" groove gauge setting.
* Strobing white, blue, and orange: The song was full comboed.
