 ;EXPERT
 :This mode is one in which you can play a course of songs in a row without stopping. You start with the gauge at its maximum; if it drops to 0, the game is over. The gauge is the same as that used in Hard mode in normal play, but drops at a much slower rate.
+;FREE
+:Practice mode. You can play to the end of a song and won't fail, but you get two songs to play (three if on 2-Player mode).
 ;HAZARD
 :This mode was added in IIDX EMPRESS. This mode is available by highlighting FREE mode and pressing the three black keys. In HAZARD mode, breaking combo will result in instant stage failure. However, the player is guaranteed four stages regardless of clear/fail status on the first three. A Poor with no notes on the line will drop the gauge by 25% and there is no gauge increasing.
 ;CLASS / DAN / Step Rank Recognition
 :This is basically the same as EXPERT, but as for options, you can only select HI-SPEED, and each course has four songs. The combination of songs differs for every difficulty, which is the difference between this and EXPERT.
-;FREE
-:Practice mode. You can play to the end of a song and won't fail, but you get one song less than if you were to play LIGHT7 or 7KEYS. (Usually, you'd get 3 songs if you played LIGHT7 or 7KEYS; you only get 2 with FREE.)
-;4KEYS
-:Replaced in 3rd Style by LIGHT7, this was intended as a beginner-friendly mode that used only the four white keys.  Available only on 1st, Substream, and 2nd style.
-;5KEYS
-:Available for home versions as a specific mode, this plays exactly as 7KEYS, except for the idea that the last two keys farthest from the turntable are not used. This is probably a compatibility issue with original ''beatmania'' controllers, so that owners of the original could still somewhat play ''beatmania IIDX'', only having the 5-key controller at hand. In arcade versions of IIDX, 5KEYS has been available from the start as a special gameplay option, most likely as an attempt to help players of the original series make the transition. Starting with 7th style AC (and 10th style CS), 5KEYS can be used with notecharts other than the ordinary 7KEYS mode.
-Furthermore, when DOUBLE is selected in the options selection screen before the game starts, "7" changes to "14", and you use both sides to play.
