宴会場

宴会場 is a special folder that existed from maimai MURASAKi to maimai FiNALE. 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".

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.

Chart Attributes

Unlike normal charts that are rated with a number, Utage charts display a Kanji in place of the level rating. This Kanji signifies the "attribute" (属性) of the chart.

Image	Attribute	Details
	光	Tap notes, including star notes for slide notes, are partially or completely changed to Break notes.
	星	Tap notes and break notes are changed to star notes.
	逆	Star notes appear at the end of slide notes, instead of the start.
	覚	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	Some slide notes do not come with star notes.
	即	The standby time between the star note and slide note is shorter or completely gone.
	傾	The original chart is tilted.
	蛸	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	Playing with multiple players, on the area intended for a single player, is recommended or required.
	耐	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	For charts that don't fit in any other attributes.
	蔵	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 reveals that chart designers have to get rank S on non-Utage charts for them to be released.)
	狂	Crazy difficulty, harder than 宴 or even 蔵 charts.

Unused Attributes

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

Image	Attribute	Comments
	片	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	Difficulty in games was sometimes expressed by "spiciness", which is probably what 辛 is referring to here.
	角

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
