Notes are represented on-screen by small bars that scroll downward above an image of the keyboard itself. The goal is to play the matching key when a note bar descends to the red play point line. The arcade cabinet has two screens - one for each player.

A PC version, exclusively bundled with Yamaha EZ250i lighted keyboard, is used as an \"entertaining education keyboard learner\". The PC version is different in that it uses more keys and generally plays MIDI files only.

There is also a free version called DoReMi Mania , which uses *.pms files. However, players can use a midi-to-pms converter to simplify editing.
