Regional Differences
beatmania completeMIX was released in the USA as hiphopmania completeMIX, and in South Korea as beatstage completeMIX, both containing several differences when compared to the original Japanese release.
Title Sequence
- Prior to displaying its title screen, the original Japanese release showcased a text reel of the release dates of each of the three beatmania games released at the time, along with the text "beat mania 1st Anniversary Version for all beatmania players". The American release shortens this intro, now making it slightly based on the intro for beatmania 3rdMIX, with the text "hiphop mania ultimate version is Complete MIX" being displayed. It is very likely the Korean release did the same, although this cannot be confirmed now.

- The American release adds a glass scratch effect to the game's title screen. It is unknown if this was also done in the Korean release.
