This page details one or more prototype versions of Beatmania APPEND 3rdMIX.
beatmania APPEND 3rdMIX mini is a demo version of beatmania APPEND 3rdMIX released on November 27, 1998, roughly a month before the final release, bundled with the beatmania 3rdMIX complete soundtrack album.

Overview
- The interface is the same as the original beatmania release, even using the latter's opening video. However, the Free Mode background seems to be completely new.

- Only five songs are available to play: find out, life goes on, Queen's Jamaica, tribe groove, and wild I/O. Their animations are taken from the original beatmania, as seen below:
| Song | Animation Set |
|---|---|
| find out | LOVE SO GROOVY |
| life goes on | Beginning of Life |
| Queen's Jamaica | jam jam reggae |
| tribe groove | 2 gorgeous 4 u/greed eater |
| wild I/O | 20,november |
- There is no proper credits roll; only the text "PRODUCED BY KONAMI" is displayed in the ending sequence.
Unused Graphics
As the interface is practically borrowed from the original beatmania, many sprites - some of which are still in the final beatmania APPEND 3rdMIX release - are left unused.
