maimai:Enkaijou

宴会場 is a special folder that existed from maimai MURASAKi to maimai FiNALE, and then from maimai でらっくす BUDDiES. It contains joke charts, scrapped charts, and other kinds of special charts. It is comparable to WORLD'S END in CHUNITHM and LUNATIC charts in オンゲキ. Due to deviation from established gameplay norms, scores from Utage charts do not count towards total high score or Rating.

Charts in 宴会場 are called 宴 (Utage) charts. A song can have multiple Utage charts.

宴会場 can be translated as "banquet hall".

From maimai でらっくす BUDDiES, certain charts are marked as "Buddy" charts, which are paired sets of charts that can be played by 2 players in multiplayer.

How to enter

From MURASAKi to MiLK PLUS, if the player has a rating of 7.00 or more prior to the start of a game, and scored Rank S or higher on all tracks before the final track, 宴会場 would be open at the final track. In multiplayer mode, 宴会場 is open for the whole game as long as at least one of the participating players has a rating of 7.00 or more. Because of this, some skilled players spend two credits to enter two-player mode to play Utage charts more than one time per game.

In FiNALE, 宴会場 is open by default, even for guest players.

From maimai でらっくす BUDDiES onward, you will need to have a rating more than 10000 to open 宴会場. In the international version the score requirements are instead 1000.

Chart Attributes

Utage charts display a Kanji in place of the level rating. This Kanji signifies the "attribute" (属性) of the chart. From maimai でらっくす BUDDiES, Utage charts also have an estimated difficulty "level", marked with a question mark.
From maimai でらっくす BUDDiES onward, the attribute is no longer fixed but used as an indicator.

Debuted pre-DX

Image	Attribute	Details
	光 (light)	All notes, including star notes for slide notes and slide notes themselves, are partially or completely changed to Break notes. All touch notes have firework effects enabled.
	星 (star)	Tap notes and break notes are changed to star notes.
	逆 (reverse)	Star notes appear at the end of slide notes, instead of the start.
	覚 (memorize)	Memorize the order that slide notes appear. All slide notes that previously appeared in a section will appear together, but may not (depending on the song) respond to touches until the previous slide note is gone. The player needs to slide the slide notes in the correct order.
	撫 (stroke)	Some slide notes do not come with star notes.
	即 (instant)	The standby time between the star note and slide note is shorter or completely gone.
	傾 (tilt)	The original chart is tilted.
	蛸 (octopus)	More than two simultaneous notes, seemingly requiring more than two hands to play. In reality though, the charts can be played by using arms or elbows.
	協 (cooperation)	Playing with multiple players, on the area intended for a single player, is recommended or required. If the chart is a Buddy chart, three or more players will always be required.
	耐 (endure)	A stamina-consuming pattern continuing for most or all of the length of the song, testing the player's endurance. Often combined with forced track skip option.
	宴 (banquet)	For charts that don't fit in any other attributes.
	蔵 (warehouse)	蔵 refers to お蔵入り, literally "put into the warehouse", that is used to mean scrapped. Charts with this attribute were originally intended for release as normal charts, but were scrapped, often because they're too hard. (Tips on the loading screen added in maimai MiLK revealed that chart designers have to get rank S on non-Utage charts for them to be released.)
	狂 (insane)	Crazy difficulty, harder than 宴 or even 蔵 charts.

Debuted post-DX

Image	Attribute	Details
N/A	回 (turn)	A repeated circular slide note is played on top of a regular chart.
N/A	右 (right)	The entire chart is snapped to the right side.
N/A	奏 (play music)	A chart type exclusive to Buddy charts, intended for 2 players playing charts that complement each other.
N/A	疑 (doubt)	Standby time between star notes and slides is seriously changed; there is no fixed standby time, and the slide starts when a regular tap note hits the beginning of the slide. If the star note is a break star note, the slide is instead instant (as with the 即 attribute).
N/A	息 (breath)	TBD
N/A	J	Used only for Jack's chart of Garakuta Doll Play.
N/A	は	Used only for はっぴー's chart of Garakuta Doll Play.
N/A	r	Used only for rioN's chart of Garakuta Doll Play.
N/A	玉	Used only for 玉子豆腐's chart of Garakuta Doll Play.
N/A	某	Used only for 某S氏's chart of Garakuta Doll Play.

Unused Attributes

The JavaScript code used on the official website of maimai FiNALE reveals 3 more attributes. They were never used for any Utage charts.

Image	Attribute	Comments
	片 (one-sided)	片 probably refers to 片手 (single-hand), in which case this attribute was probably intended for charts that force heavy movements for one of the hands.
	辛 (spicy)	Difficulty in games was sometimes expressed by "spiciness", which is probably what 辛 is referring to here.
	角 (corner/edge)	Unknown. Perhaps notes would have been limited to a single corner/edge?

Forced options

Some Utage charts force one or more of four game options to be set to a certain value.

• Mirror mode
• Background info display
• Track skip
• Judge style

Pops & Anime
Love You	協	リア充専用譜面だよ！リア充向けだってば！ リア充(2人)譜面 ○は左の人☆は右の人 (pre-FiNALE)	- / - / - / -	Designed for two players, one on the left and one on the right.
POP STAR	星	そのためのPOP STAR	⇄ / - / - / -	Based on the Master chart, changing all tap notes and break notes to star notes. It's only an aesthetic difference and does not affect gameplay. Horizontal mirror is forced however.
Future	星	Re:MASTERを魔改造★	⇅ / - / - / -	Based on the Re:Master chart, changing all tap notes and star notes to break star notes. Therefore, it also has elements of the 光 attribute.
ウッーウッーウマウマ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)	耐	(ﾟ∀ﾟ)どこまでウマれるかな(ﾟ∀ﾟ)	Off / Border(S) / Auto (S) / Maji	While the verse part is based on the Expert chart, the chorus part features super fast single and double tap notes based on the dance.
ミラクル・ショッピング	蛸	ボリューム満点！ドン(物理)・キホーテ	- / - / - / -	April Fools chart for 2018. Most of the chart consists of more than two simultaneous notes at a time.
jelly	宴	あの頃はごめんなさい	- / - / - / -	Old chart before the maimai PLUS update. Slide notes at the end of the song are different.
ジンギスカン	宴	スライド始点タップ練習用に作ったの	- / - / - / -	Practice chart for the Slide + Tap pattern, similar to Future Re:Master.
ポップミュージックは僕のもの	協	ポップミュージックは僕たちのもの	- / - / - / -	2-player chart. Consists mostly of 2 holds being played simultaneously with simple 2-hand patterns. Unusually, the left side plays with star taps and the right side plays with regular taps, rather than the other way around as with most 2-player charts.
青春コンプレックス	協(B)	バンドメンバーを集めて楽しもう！(入門編)	Off / - / - / -	Played on 2 cabinets and with 4 players. The parts played correspond with the band members and instruments. From left to right: Ryou Yamada/Bass, Nijika Ichiji/Drums, Ikuyo Kita/Rhythm Guitar, Hitori Gotou/Lead Guitar (i.e. the order they appear on both the maimai and CHUNITHM jackets).
青春コンプレックス	協(B)	バンドメンバーを集めて楽しもう！(ヒーロー級)	Off / - / LIFE 300 / -	Much harder variation of the above.
niconico & Vocaloid
おちゃめ機能	逆	スライドの両端に星が飛んでくる機能	- / - / - / -	As the comment says, star notes come at both the start and the end of slide notes.
からくりピエロ	撫	始点タップを叩かなくても回る	- / - / - / -	The chart mostly consists of slides, most of which don't come with a star note at the beginning, and instead connects to the last star note.
だんだん早くなる	耐	だんだんShake it	- / Border(S) / Auto(S) / Maji	The chart mostly consists of the pattern seen in the chorus part of the Master chart of shake it!. The changing BPM makes it harder.
すーぱーぬこになりたい	蛸	すーぱーたこになりたい	- / - / - / -	Also has elements of the 撫 attribute. Pay attention to the hold notes.
東京リアルワールド	覚	なぞる順番を覚えるゲーム(初級編)	- / - / - / -	Several slide notes come normally, and then all the slide notes appear together. The player needs to remember the order that the slide notes appeared in, and trace them in that order. Other slide notes on the screen will still trigger if touched.
どうしてこうなった	蔵	どうしておくらいりした	Off / - / - / -	This song was planned to be released one month after Oshama Scramble!, yet this chart has even more notes than that. Maybe if this chart was released as the Master chart, it wouldn't have been demoted to 11+ in PiNK? There's a large amount of double notes and jacks. Really, why did it become like this
恋愛裁判	協	リア充向け譜面　～爆発しろ～	- / - / - / -	2-player chart, harder than Love You. Be careful not to get the arms entangled and cause mis-hits. Prohibitively hard for single-player.
スイートマジック	撫	☆甘くなる魔法☆	- / - / - / -	There are many slide notes that go back and forth. The teardrop-shaped slide notes in the chorus part are fast; beware of that.
ぽっぴっぽー	協	ぽ・っぴ・っぽー ぽ・っぴ・っぽー(下・左上・右上) (pre-FiNALE)	- / - / - / -	3-player chart. Ideal positions for the players are bottom, top-left and top-right.
ココロ	狂	トテモ脆イ、取扱イニ注意。	- / Border(SSS) / Auto(SSS) / Gori	Same as the Easy chart, but with forced options. Since the chart only has 1 break note, the forced options mean that every single note must be hit within 1 frame for the player to complete the song.
Ievan Polkka	蔵	罠がいっぱいなんですがこれは	- / Border(SSS) / Auto(SSS) / -	Extreme hold-focus chart, with forced options that require an ALL PERFECT. The arrangement of hold notes can easily make the arms become tangled if not paying attention.
林檎華憐歌	蔵	流石にしゃべり過ぎです	- / - / - / -	Same as the Master chart, except that at the end the notes correspond to the talking.
脳漿炸裂ガール	蔵	さぁさぁなぞってなぞって踊りましょ	- / - / - / -	The chart shown at maimai LIVE 2014洗濯祭. Same as the Master chart before the chorus, but after that it's like a slide festival.
Hand in Hand	協	Hand in Hand in Hand in Hand まさかの8人用譜面！？ (pre-FiNALE)	- / - / - / -	The last UTAGE chart of the classic maimai era. Designed for 8 players; 4 players are enough to have a decent result though. Due to tap notes layered on hold notes, it's intended that you use both the buttons and touch screen to hit them, but with the increased leniency of hold notes in the DX era this may not be necessary.
アカツキアライヴァル	奏(B)	ライバル譜面	Off / - / - / -	One side plays Luka's vocal, the other side plays Miku's. During instrumental parts, the charts are mirrored versions of each other.
ラグトレイン	協(B)	＼みんなでラグトレイン再現チャレンジ／	Off / - / - / -	This chart uses notes to reproduce the well-known music video for this song. Designed for 4 players across 2 cabs.
回る空うさぎ	回	くるくる回る、お星さま。	- / - / - / -	Play a simple series of touch notes while playing a constant slide rotating all around the cabinet.
Touhou Project
しゅわスパ大作戦☆	星	☆TAP大作戦☆	- / - / - / -	In this chart, normal tap notes and star notes changed into each other. Beware of the end of the song, where star break notes come to all 8 buttons.
キャプテン・ムラサのケツアンカー	覚	なぞる順番を覚えるゲーム(上級編)	- / - / - / -	Similar to 東京リアルワールド, but with more slides to memorize.
最速最高シャッターガール	即	スライドが待ち無しで飛んでくガール	- / - / - / -	The 1-beat standby time for slide notes is gone. The player has to start tracing the slide note immediately after hitting the star note.
ウサテイ	傾	譜面傾けんなってーーー！！	- / - / - / -	The Master chart rotated 135 degrees.
幻想のサテライト	蔵	蔵入り、はい、それでサヨナラ	- / - / - / -	Mostly the same as the Master chart, but the latter half of the second chorus is completely different.
チルノのパーフェクトさんすう教室	蛸	パーフェクトホールド教室	- / - / - / -	As its name suggests, heavily abuses Hold notes.
疾走あんさんぶる	協	なりきれ！プリズムリバー三姉妹 3人用！？（上・左下・右下）(pre-FiNALE)	- / - / - / -	A 3-player chart, released as the April Fools chart for 2018. This was also the first UTAGE-only song, until it was revived on May 8th, 2018 with normal charts.
(TBA)
