Game Introduction
The beat is back! Konami returns with Beatmania IIDX substream which adds to the five key/turntable setup by adding an extra white and black key to the keyboard. Also of note is the bass-pounding subwoofer under the players feet. Now you can 'feel the music' ... literally! Added to this version is the ability to link up with Dance Dance Revolution 2nd Mix.
Game Play
Start by selecting the desired options, then a song, and attempt to match the notes by pressing the keys and scratching the turntable in time to the music. Perform well enough, and you can continue to the next stage!
Or, set up both games to synch up and play the special 'link' mode where one player is on beatmania IIDX substream and the other on Dance Dance Revolution 2nd Mix!

Cabinet Information
The title appears on the marquee as 'beatmania IIDX.' Additionally, a large subwoofer under the players' feet sends the game's music vibrating throughout your whole body! Also, the second player's controls are opposite of those of the first player (i.e. the keys are on the left, the turntable on the right).
