beatmania IIDX 9th style
beatmania IIDX 9th style is one of the many titles in Konami’s IIDX
rhythm game series, featuring more than 80 tracks, primarily from the arcade
version of the same title. As usual for the beatmania series, the player is
given seven piano keys and a turntable, and must play along with the notes
that scroll down the screen to play the music. 9th style features a
completely revamped interface compared to the previous titles, owing to the
more powerful hardware that the arcade version ran on.
There are three main modes: Arcade mode tasks the player with completing
several tracks in succession, Free mode lets the player freely play any
unlocked song, and Training mode lets the player practice parts of songs
without danger of failure. The Beginner’s mode from 5th style and the Class
mode from 7th style are also present, as is the gallery mode.
