'DJ Syndrome' is the main tagline of the marketing campaign for Beatmania 4th
Mix ~The Beat Goes On~. It's also now a series of guides to Beatmania, Dance
Dance Revolution and the rest of the BEMANI series of rhythm games by Konami.
While not comprehensive, it should begin to answer some of the questions that
you might have about the games.
Please note that this FAQ only covers the Playstation2 release of Drummania.
For a more comprehensive look at Drummania and the rest of the BEMANI series,
including things like Soundtracks (audio CDs), strategy guides, portable LCD
games (the BEMANI Pocket games), and much much more, please check out my longer
work titled DJ Syndrome: The BEMANI Series FAQ.
All of the information contained in this FAQ is also available in the longer,
more comprehensive work titled "DJ Syndrome: The BEMANI Series FAQ". This
document is merely a scaled down version that only pertains to the Playstation2
release Drummania (the arcade version is _not_ covered, although much of the
info may still apply).
Title: Drummania
System: PS2
Intro: Drummania is a first in many aspects for Konami. Besides the obvious
'first BEMANI game for PS2', the title is the first to utilise the link-up
feature that many of the newer arcade versions feature. By selecting 'Session
Mode', drummers can grab a friend, as well as a Guitar Freaks controller or two,
and play together. Drummania also features the first high-quality standard
controller. While Beatmania had the high-quality DJ Station PRO released around
the time of Append 3rd Mix, Drummania has its own high-quality Drummania
Controller available right at release, putting other standard controllers (the
ASCII Beatmania Controller, the DDR mats, etc.) to shame. Finally, Drummania is
the first BEMANI game to be available in a special controller/game package, let
alone only available that way. But beside the firsts that the game features, it
is also one of the most kinetic and fun BEMANI titles available. Now if we could
just do something about that price...
(note that each song is playable once per game, so if you play Ska Ska No.1 in
Stage 1, it will not be in Stage 2 or 3, etc.)

in the upper right of the screen--

includes the bonuses recieved at the end of the level. And yes, I let the
