How it feels

A focused, controller-driven rhythm experience where you tap keys and scratch a turntable in sync with falling bars, demanding clean timing and steady hands.

About

Beatmania Append 3rdMix is a rhythm game developed by Konami. It is the Playstation version of the 3rd arcade game in the beatmania series. It is the second game to be released for the Playstation. Since this is an Append release, it needs another beatmania title to act as a key disc to boot the game. The game is played with a controller with one turn table and 5 keys, three white and two black. On the screen you will see bars moving from the top to bottom in columns representing each of the keys and the turntable. When the bars reach the judgement line it is time to scratch. Unlike the arcade counterpart, the Playstation version does not have a combo counter. Expert mode is also missing from this version of the game. The game features all songs from the arcade release except for 4: Beginning of life, DJ BATTLE, jam jam reggae (FUNKY jam Cookie mix), and SKA a go go. The game has a total of 23 songs.
