Beatmania (PlayStation 2) · the cutting room mirror

beatmania (PlayStation 2) The PS2 beatmania marks the first time the series landed in North America, and even came with its own controller that improved on the Japanese one. Naturally, everyone bought the game for the controller, threw the game in the trash (and rightfully so), and continued playing their Japanese imports.

Unused Audio#

Hidden in the game's files is a short snippet of the song "PARANOiA survivor MAX" on loop, used as the song select BGM in beatmania IIDX 9th style when unlocked to play on the Extra Stage. Odd, considering beatmania has neither the Extra Stage system nor "PARANOiA survivor MAX".
