Maimai DX with BUDDiES Arcade Machine

Maimai DX with BUDDiES is the latest version of the maimai DX series, now available in Korea. This update enhances the two-player experience by introducing new dedicated charts designed specifically for cooperative play and adding a score ranking system for competitive two-player mode.

Various kinds of notes will appear at the centre and approach the outer rim of the circular touchscreen. The player must tap, hold or slide on the touchscreen or surrounding buttons in time with the music, depending on the type of note.

There are 5 types of input-timing judgements (ranging from least to most accurate to timing): 'Miss', 'Good', 'Great', 'Perfect' and 'Critical Perfect', as well as showing if they are 'Late' or 'Early'. In-game settings can be toggled to enable different displays to show the different types of judgements based on the player's preference

The types of notes in the game include:

• Tap: A pink circular ring, requiring a single tap when it reaches the edge of the screen.
• Hold: A pink hexagonal bar, requiring holding for the entire length. Releasing early, or releasing midway and pressing down again will result in less score/accuracy and a 'Fast/Late Perfect', 'Great' or 'Good' rating for the object.
• Slide: A star followed by a path. The star counts like a tap, followed by a slide path starting one beat after the star is tapped. The player must trace along the path.
• Paired: A combination of two (or more) tap, hold or slide notes, now colored yellow in order to signify them being needed to be tapped at the same time.
• Touch: A blue note (yellow when two or more notes) in the middle area of the screen that requires a single tap when the outside arrows close in.
• Touch Hold: A multicolored note in the middle area of the screen that requires holding for the entire length.
• Break: A red-yellow ring/star that requires a single tap and provides extra score/accuracy when tapped, requiring a 'Critical Perfect' for the full score of the note. Breaks can be paired with either a normal Pair note, or another Break note. As of maimai DX FESTiVAL, new songs can also include Hold and Slide paths that are Break notes, carrying extra accuracy.
• EX: Non-Touch/Slide path notes (including break notes) that glow brighter than other notes. Any non-'miss' judgment is a 'Critical Perfect', unless it is an EX Hold note that has been released early, which results in lower accuracy as per usual.
