Keyboardmania 3rd Mix Description

Game Introduction

You have DJed, you have danced, but have you played the piano? Konami does it again with Keyboardmania! Play the songs by pressing the keys and spinning the effect wheel as the bars fall to the bottom of the screen. Hit them perfectly (or at least somewhat perfectly) and you can choose a new song to play.

New to this version (aside from the music) is support for the 'multi-session base' which allows up to five people to play simultaneously (two players on Keyboardmania 3rd Mix, two on Guitar Freaks 5th Mix, and one Drummania 4th Mix player.

Game Play

Select a song, then play! As the bars fall down the screen, press the corresponding key on the 24-key keyboard, or spin the effect wheel when needed.

Miscellaneous

Another Bemani series game.

VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Rare - There are 2 known instances of Keyboardmania 3rd Mix owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 2 of them are original dedicated machines

Of the 57,113 video games (3,420 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 1 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
