General Information
Modes
Exercise
A tutorial where the player is introduced to the controls and gameplay of EZ2DJ. It is presented by "DJ TOMATO", a mascot of the game at the time. After the lesson is completed, the player plays through an easier version of "Reggae" song - You love the life you live, rather than the normal version available in Street Mix. Selecting this mode consumes a credit. This mode was removed in subsequent versions of the game, with a similar type of tutorial mode only returning 17 years later in NT.
Street Mix
The standard play mode where players can play up to 4 stages in the 5k playstyle. Each stage the player can select the song they want to play, with each stage having a different selection of and more difficult songs available. If the player fails they are kicked out of their current song and game over. The player can continue their credit after failing by entering a credit and pressing start during the "Continue" sequence.
Radio Mix
A precursor to what would eventually eventually become the course mode. After selecting a station the player plays 5 predefined songs in succession in the 5k playstyle.
Club Mix
A mode with 4 stages played in succession with no break, played in the 10k playstyle. The first song is selected in a menu like normal, but subsequence songs are selected during gameplay with one of the turntables, as the next song starts immediately after the current song is completed.
Battle Mode
A Battle mode entered by having a second player join. During the mode the charts played by both players are identical so that scores can be compared fairly.

Remember 1st?
With the release of 6th Trax, a mode called "Remember 1st?" was included which when selected the game would launch 1st TRACKS. The mode is identical to original game apart from the "Continue" feature being removed, where instead once you game over you are kicked out and taken back to the 6th TRAX title screen. It is not a "simulated" version of 1st tracks running in 6th TRAX, but rather a completely updated version of 1st that runs as a standalone program that can only be launched through the ingame mode select. After a successful credit, the 1st TRACKS credits sequence is played and the player is taken back to the 6th TRAX title screen.
Other
Due to the rarity of functional copies of 1st TRACKS, the most well documented version of 1st TRACKS is 1.02a, the version made for the 6th TRAX "Remember 1st?" mode. There are only two other known variants, 1.01 and 1.03. The difference between these versions is unknown.
