-Put song list/info in order.
-Messed around with some organization stuff.
-Added Unlocking section.
1.1
-Fixed numerous typos and errors in the song list, such as the spelling of
"Akira Yamaoka".
-"Modes" section added. It's mostly complete; modes that have a lot of depth or
somewhat confusing menus (like Drill Mode) will get their own section later on.
-Added difficulties for Double mode (14 Key, etc.)
-Added Genres for each song.
-Messed around with some stuff, which should make the FAQ a bit easier to read.
1.0
-First version. Changed the FAQ from a blank .txt named "iidx5thfaq" to the FAQ
you're reading.
Hiya, all. This is my first FAQ (that I've ever bothered completing and sending
in, anyway), and I'm actually kinda happy how it's turning out. Obviously,
there's a lot more I can add (how to unlock stuff, Drill Mode, etc.), and I
will add at a later date. I'd just like to say three things- One, I'm VERY new
to Beatmania IIDX; I've been playing for about 2 1/2 months as of the first
version of this FAQ. So, if I get things wrong, or you have information I don't
know that you want me to add, PLEASE tell me. No mistake is too small, nor is
any bit of information. Two, send me feedback, damn you. Since this is my first
FAQ, I'm not sure what people want, and what they don't. I need to know, to
make this FAQ better. Three, send in questions so I can add a FAQ part to this
FAQ. Even if you know the answer, or don't really care; send stuff that would
be of interest to other people. But, don't be an ass and ask questions that are
answered in the FAQ intentionally. Thanks to everyone who helps!
Also, please note that this FAQ is for Beatmania IIDX 5th Style New Songs
Collection. In other words, the home version. Please don't tell me "You're
missing a bunch of songs!" or "That song's not there!", because you'd be
talking about the arcade version, which this FAQ does not cover (as I don't
have a 5th Style arcade machine :P).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. Modes and Stuff
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you enter Arcade Mode, you have 4 choices- Expert, Light 7, 7 Key, or 5
Key (or, if you have Double enabled, Light 14, 14 Key, and 10 Key).
Light 7/14- Basically, an easier version of 7/14 Key. Less notes to deal with.
5/10 Key- The 2 keys to the far right are taken over by the computer. Other
than that, the notes are the same as their 7/14 Key counterparts. This makes
it harder than Light 7/14 (usually), because there's not "Light 5/10" mode.
Expert- See "Expert Courses" section.
Just play Arcade Mode until you've played all the songs at least once. Then
you can play uninterrupted in Free Mode. Of course, if you want to set records
or play Expert, you'll have to play Arcade Mode.
A new addition to IIDX, all the songs are toned down to be in the 1-3 Star
range. Great for those who would rather give the game away than play the same
songs over and over on Light 7 while learning to play.
The difficulty levels for songs on Beginner Mode are also listed under the
"Song list and info" section. You can not play Beginner Mode on Doubles, and
none of the unlockable songs (Theme of Denjin J, Prat Fall, etc.) are playable
in Beginner Mode.
Play as long as you want, without any interruptions. You don't even have to go
back to the title screen to change modifiers like Random or Auto-Scratch. You
can't set records, as there is no set-in-stone end to your game.
There's only one catch- to play songs in Free Mode, you must have played them
in Arcade Mode (it doesn't matter if you've passed them, or what difficulty
you do them on). Except for 5.1.1., that is; it's avaliable from the get-go.
Drill Mode has 3 sections- (from left to right) Basics (kihonhen), Application
(ouyouhen), and Special (tokubetsuhen). Thanks to BradTheInsomniac for
translations.
Naturally, Basics is the easiest drill, and Special is the hardest.
Most drills in Basic and Application are segments of songs, usually 20 or so
seconds long (I'm just guessing, I've never actually timed ^^;). You can't add
any modifiers (High Speed, Random, etc.), so you'll usually be on Normal speed
(which makes the mode even harder if you're used to using High Speed).
However, later on the game starts forcing HS1 on you. The last Drills are the
full song.
Each Drill has 3 sections- The easiest is the RIGHT-MOST one, and the hardest
is the LEFT-MOST one. Also, each section of the drill has a "target score"- a
score you try to hit right on the dot. Doing this is a pain in the ass; you
can easily go over it, then you have to do WORSE to get the target score.
Also, by each drill, there are 3 boxes (representing the 3 sections of each
drill). At first, these boxes are blank, but after you play each section, the
empty box will be replaced with an X (failed the section), a Red Circle
(pass/Full Combo), a Yellow Circle (Perfect Combo; only Greats and Just
Greats), or an Orange Circle (hit the "target score").
In Special, the game gives you insane challenges- pass 1989 Low Speed, for
example. Ugh, this mode is freaking insane... I don't know how you get a
Yellow or Orange circle in this mode- I Perfect Comboed the Radical Faith
drill (easiest one in the mode that I've played), and the circle is still red.
On the Main Menu, press the Select button to access the modifier menu. There,
you can set these modifiers:
High/Low Speed- High speed makes songs easier to read, because it spreads the
notes out, but if you turn it up TOO high on a fast song, you might not be
able to read the notes. Low Speed... I don't know why they have it. All it
does is make things HARDER to read.
Random- Mixes the notes up. Makes some songs easier (songs with scaling, for
example), some songs harder (songs with fast patterns, like V), or it could go
either way, depending on what note arrangement you get.
Double- Lets you play 14 Key, Light 14, etc. You need 2 controllers to play
this mode (well, you can play one side and watch the other side fail you, but
that's no fun).
Autoscratch- Cheater. :P This modifier has the game take over the turntable
for you, which lets you concentrate all your efforts on the keys. Using it's a
waste of time; it doesn't help you build any skills, and you can't set records
while using Autoscratch.
Battle Mode- If you need a demo of what Battle Mode does, let the game sit on
the title screen for a while. It basically splits the notes up between the 1
player and 2 player sides.
Mirror- Just like it sounds, it reverses the notes. If a note was on the far
left key, it would be on the far right key when Mirror is activated.
Hidden- Notes dissapear halfway down. Can be combined with Sudden for a new
effect.
Sudden- Notes appear halfway down. Can be combined with Hidden for a new
effect.
Hidden/Sudden- Notes appear for a very short amount of time right in the
middle.
In Survival Mode, you play all the songs in the game back to back, on a
difficulty of your choice. It stops after you clear all 64 songs- though, I
havn't verified this, since I don't have that much time on my hands. Playing
all the songs back to back would take over 1 1/2 hours. O.o
You can choose to play all the songs in Light 7 mode, 7 Key mode, or Another +
7 mode (if the song has no Another, it'll use the 7 Key notes). Of course, if
you are playing Double, it'll be Light 14, 14 Key, and Another + 14 (if the
song has no Another, it'll go to the 14 Key notes).
You can arrange the songs in 4 ways (from top to bottom)-
Difficulty Order (nan'ido jun)- On 7 Key, it starts with the 1 stars and goes
up to the 7 stars. The songs are played in alphabetical order- IE, 5.1.1.
would be played first, then Be In My Paradise, and so on.
Reverse Difficulty Order(gyaku nan'ido jun)- On 7 Key, it starts with the 7
stars and goes down to the 1 stars. 250 BPM would be the first song played,
since it's at the top of the alphabetical order in the 7 stars.
Random (randomu)- Songs played in random order. No high scores are kept;
because unless you pass them all, your score would depend on the order of the
songs.
Alphabetical Order (arufabetto jun)- Goes in the order that the game lists the
songs in Free Mode- IE, the order that my songlist is in.
Once again, thanks to BradTheInsomniac for his translations of the menu.
One more thing- this mode must be unlocked. Check the Unlocking section to
find out how.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4i. Original Course Setting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This mode lets you make your own Expert Courses. You can edit up to 5- if you
don't edit them, they'll be 5 stages of 5.1.1. 7 Key in a row. >.<
You can't set records on these things, unfortunately. The only real use for
this mode is if you want to make a "Favorite" course with all your favorite
songs.
One more thing- this mode must be unlocked. Unlocking section, ho!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5. Song List and Info
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Song Title: The name of the song. Duh.
Artist: The guy/gal/both who made the song.
Genre: Self explanatory. Really.
Beginner Mode: The difficulty on Beginner Mode. Please note that unlockable
songs (Prat Fall, Entrance, etc.) are not playable on Beginner Mode. Also, you
can't play Doubles on Beginner.
Light 7: The difficulty on Light 7 Mode.
7 Key: The difficulty on 7 Key Mode.
Another (7): If the song has an Another on Single Mode or not (some don't; and
some Anothers sound different than their 7 Key and lower versions). Anothers
don't have a rating of their own.
Light 14. Doubles; using two controllers. Basically, the Light 7 of Doubles.
14 Key: Doubles; using two controllers. Basically the 7 Key of Doubles.
Another (14): Whether or not the song has an Another on Doubles.
First appeared in: What home version of IIDX the song first appeared in.
Note: If there's anything special about the song, It goes here.
5 Key takes the 7 key notes, and takes over the right white and black keys. It
also uses the same difficulty rating, and every song is playable on 5 Key, so I
didn't bother adding to the song info.
Special thanks to DarkTetsuya for letting me use his Beatmania FAQ for my
"Artist" and "First appeared in" sections; it cut down on my work A LOT. Thank
you SO MUCH. The link to his FAQ is at the bottom of my FAQ. Go there. Now.

Expert Courses could be compared to DDR Max2's Oni Courses- but they're not
quite as hard. You start out with your Groove Gauge at 100%, and when it drops,
it takes MUCH longer for it to rise again. I'm not exactly sure how many notes
it takes for it to rise... if you know, tell me, please.
Expert Courses also score differently than normal stages; the point value for
each note is much lower.
Just Great (the flashy ones): 2 points
Great: 1 point
Good, Bad, Poor: 0 points
So, the highest you can get on a song is no longer 200,000 (which would be all
Just Greats on a normal stage); it's twice the number of notes in the song. So,
if the song as 99 notes, the max score would be 198. Got it? Good.
There are 8 Expert Courses available from the get go. There are also 10 more
courses to unlock, and you can create 6 of your own (this feature is also
unlockable). The courses that are always available have Star ratings; but the
others don't. I'll include the Star total for each of the songs next to the
given Star rating, so you have some idea of how difficult the unlockables are.
Also, all the songs are one Expert difficulty level (AKA 7 Key) unless
specified otherwise.

Of course, you all know that you can unlock EVERYTHING by getting a 634 combo.
But the problem is, not everyone can get a combo that high! So, I'm providing
some alternate methods on unlocking certain sections. Also, please note that
you CANNOT use an Expert Course to unlock everything with the 634 combo method.
Survival works, though.
Unlocking Songs- I don't know any way to unlock songs, other than playing in
Arcade Mode alot.
Unlocking Expert Courses- All the unlockable Expert Courses, except for Bonus
and L.E.D. are unlocked by playing each Expert Course up to at least the 3rd
Stage. As for Bonus and L.E.D., I'm not sure... they just kinda pop up on me.
Maybe playing all the songs in the course?
Unlocking Original Course Setting- I have NO IDEA. If you know, tell me.
Unlocking Survival- Full Combo a Custom Expert Course. 5.1.1. Light 7 over and
over should make this easy enough.
Unlocking Special Drill section- NO IDEA. Help, if you can!
For letting me use his FAQ to find what songs where in what Style first, and
for letting me use his FAQ for artist names. I was too lazy to write them down.
:P Check out his FAQ, it's the best Beatmania FAQ I've seen. I suppose you can
find the link by yourself. I hope you can.
Also, I originally typed up the Star ratings for all the songs for him. To be
honest, I'd never have even considered making this FAQ if I wasn't already
ahead by that much; so this whole thing pretty much exists thanks to him.
Thankee again, DT.
CJayC-
For posting my FAQ. If he doesn't post it, I'm taking him out of the Special
Thanks section. :D
God-
Because I'm Christian and I believe that 2 people just isn't enough for a
Special Thanks section. (Well, the Special Thanks section is bigger now, but
God stays. :P)
My parents-
For the same reason. And they let me spend over $400 to get IIDX. I guess that
was kinda important, too. I didn't really expect them to let me. ^^;
