Upon the machine first booting up, the [[Title]] screen is displayed. When left alone, the game loops between the title screen, the {{Nihongo|High Score Ranking|ハイスコア ランキング|Hai Sukoa Rankingu}} screen, followed by a demo of a [[Rhythm Game]] (each cycle alternating between each 1P and 2P game sequentially), and then either the opening scene (in which [[Samurai Drummer]] welcomes the player to the game, which was also present when waiting on the title screen in the [[Rhythm Tengoku|GBA version]]), [[Neko Machine]] (which automatically starts playing its demo, but can be interacted with for a limited time) or [[Kokuhaku Machine]] (which can also be interacted with for a limited time). When advancing from the title screen, the player is given the choice between the 1 Player mode or the 2 Player mode. After this, they choose which Stage to play, with all Stages being available to play. | Upon the machine first booting up, the [[Title]] screen is displayed.
