Hazard Mode (break a combo, you lose) from GF/DM series is now a new feature. Hold all the black keys to activate it. Empty poors (meaning you hit a key an extra time after hitting a note) don't affect you.

2 pics (not gameplay related, though). 1st, this looks like to be the cover girl. It reminds me of Gold, only she's younger & has pink hair.

2nd pic appears to be a binder.

tiger yamato, Ubiquitous Fantastic Ride, Come On, Red Rocket Rising, and Fly Away to India are some of my favorites.

Oh well, it's not like I'll be playing this arcade anytime soon.

Hazard mode is just the encouragement DOLCE needs to FC Mei [a].

Also Zonic, the typeface changed for DD, Gold, and DJT. HS had the old one.

If it's the same Hazard mode from GFdm, you're allowed one combo break, but after that, it's Failed...however, on GFdm, you're still allowed to play your next stage if you fail, IIRC.

The Shining Polaris has always been one of my favourites. I need to start playing BeatMania again some time.
