Regional Differences#

drummania was released worldwide under the name of PercussionFreaks, save for the United States, where it kept its original name. Aside from the game's UI being completely translated to English, several other differences are noticeable:

Songlist#

  • The songs Ultimate power and D.M."POWERFUL" MIX are absent from the Korean release.

Background Animations#

Some background animation sprites for the songs Look at me and Waza were modified to better reflect the name change. These changes were applied up to PercussionFreaks 7thMIX.
