Pop'n Music 3 is a rhythm-based video game and the third installment in the Pop'n Music series, which is part of Konami's BEMANI franchise. In the game, players use a controller featuring nine large colored buttons. Each button corresponds to a lane on the screen, where similarly colored icons, known as pop-kun, scroll downward. Players must press the correct button at the right moment when the icon reaches the judgment line. Pop'n Music 3 introduces Hyper Mode, a gameplay option where players tackle a set of three songs in the challenging Hyper difficulty. The game includes 24 tracks returning from previous titles in the series and adds 29 new songs, bringing the total to 53 tracks.
