complete MIX
THE EXCITEMENT IS ENDLESS

Since first appearing in arcades throughout Japan in December 1997, "beatmania" revolutionised the coin-op industry. Music simulation. An industry first. No violence, no steering wheel, but instead a keyboard and turntable where players can simulate being a DJ by mixing their own music.

The original "beatmania"'s popularity exploded and was quickly followed by "2nd MIX" and "3rd MIX" versions during 1998. "complete MIX" culminates all three versions together as a first anniversary tribute. This is the best of the best. Three different names lend themselves to this musical masterpiece. "beatmania" across Asia (excluding South Korea), Europe and Oceania; "hiphopmania" in North and South America and "beatstage" in South Korea.

But no matter what the name, the enjoyment and excitement remains the same.

STARTING THE GAME
After inserting coin(s) and pressing the one or two player buttons, it's time to select the mode of play. Select the play mode with the turntable and select using the keys.

PLAY MODES
There are four play modes to choose from. "Practice Mode", "Easy Mode", "Hard Mode" and "Internet Ranking Mode".

PRACTICE MODE - "Practice makes perfect"


They say there's a first time for everything, and if it's your first time experiencing "complete MIX", then this is the mode for you.
DJ Konami will guide you through how to play the game, followed by two preselected songs which you play on your own.
This stage has a low difficulty level.

EASY MODE - "Gettin' into the swing of things"


For those of you who have cleared through "PRACTICE MODE", then "EASY MODE" is your next challenge. Choose one of a number of great tracks and off you go!

HARD MODE - "Gimme More"


Want a bit more bite? Then try "HARD MODE". It is basically the same as "EASY MODE", but has a higher difficulty level.

INTERNET RANKING MODE - "Go on and rank me" An industry first. Arcade game interent ranking! It all began with "complete MIX". Play one of the following preselected courses and battle for the highest score.
  • dj nagureo
  • beatmania from NYC
  • nouvo nude
  • special

A password will appear on the screen at the end of the game if all stages in a course are cleared. If you send that password to us via e-mail, your score will be registered and automatically be included in the worldwide rankings.

HOW TO PLAY

Musical note gauges will appear on either side of the screen. Press the keyboard buttons and scratch the turntable in time with the music to create a great remix.

If your timing is good, then your "groove level" and score will rise and you will clear the stage. However, if your tempo is down, then your "groove level" will fall and the game will end.
