==== INTRODUCTION =======================================================

The Japanese Beatmania phenomenon continues. Beatmania is the series of DJ
games from Konami that's known in the US as Hip Hop Mania. This version
features all new tunes, and if you play long enough, you'll unlock
alternate mixes of some old favorites.

There are 42 tunes in all on this game, which--unlike other append mixes--
will run on its own without a "key disc". Several of the songs have harder
versions available--the 42 includes these duplicates.

I highly recommend J.T. Kauffman's "Compendium" series of FAQs about the
Beatmania series, available at gamefaqs.com. This Micro-FAQ will have to
do until J.T. gets around to doing the game justice.

==== HIDDEN TRACKS ======================================================
If you play Going Global long enough to pass each track at least once
(don't forget your memory card), you'll unlock "Another" remixes of a
dozen tunes only previously available (as far as I know) in the arcade
on Hiphop Mania 2. They are (number of stars indicates difficulty):
