Release Information

• Release date: September 28th, 1998

概况 / 变更点

• First beatmania game to keep track of your combo count.
  • GOODs break your combo.
  • GREATs flash if you have more than 10 combo, but this gives no bonuses.
• The score calculation in beatmania 3rdMIX is unique:
  • GOOD = 70,000 ÷ TotalNotes ÷ 5
  • GREAT (1-10) = 70,000 ÷ TotalNotes + 30,000 ÷ (45 + 10 × (TotalNotes - 10)) × (Combo - 1)
  • GREAT (11-more) = 70,000 ÷ TotalNotes + 30,000 ÷ (45 + 10 × (TotalNotes - 10)) × 10
• Totals for each judgment are now displayed on the results screen after each song.
• A grade screen identical to the EXPERT screen is now displayed after completing any mode.
• NORMAL and EASY modes are now available. The two modes differ in which songs can be chosen and when.
• Three new modifiers were introduced:
  • BATTLE, which allows two players to play the same exact chart, instead of a split chart as in regular versus mode.
  • MIRROR, which inverts the notechart (besides the scratches).
  • RANDOM, which randomizes the notechart of the song you're playing (besides the scratches).
• First BEMANI game worked on by Gyo Eguchi (VJ GYO), who became the chief movie designer of beatmania IIDX a few months later, a position he still holds to this very day.
• First BEMANI game released with the 1998-2003 KONAMI logo on the start-up screen.
  • However, older revisions of the game, along with the cabinet itself, still show the 1986-1998 Italicized KONAMI logo.
• beatmania 3rdMIX was released the same day as pop'n music, marking the first time two BEMANI games were released the same day in the arcades.
• FREE ZONE was removed.
• Only beatmania arcade release in Europe.
