Gameplay
editBeatmania IIDX tasks the player with performing songs through a controller consisting of seven key buttons and a scratchable turntable.[2] Hitting the notes with strong timing increases the score and groove gauge bar, allowing the player to finish the stage. Failing to do so depletes the gauge until it is empty, abruptly ending the song.[3]
