Song Selection Screen
- Note: You can identify the song selection for a specific mode by checking the transparent leitmotif.
- "osu!" is osu!, "Drum" is Taiko, "Apple" is Catch the Beat and "Piano" is osu!mania
Because this screen has too many elements to note by easily noticeable numbers, this section will focus on one part of the screen at a time, starting from the top left and continuing in a roughly clockwise direction.
This area displays information on the beatmap currently selected. By default, the map whose song is heard in the osu! jukebox is selected when entering the selection screen. The BPM value listed is the highest that occurs in the beatmap. Hits is the maximum combo attainable in the beatmap. A heart symbol at the upper left denotes a Ranked beatmap.
Click on one of the tabs to sort your beatmap list according to the selected criterion. You can add beatmaps to FavouritesA or FavouritesB by the Beatmap Options menu (see below).
Place your cursor over the "Selection Options" area to have a list of fiters appear. Click on a box to narrow down your beatmap list according to the selected criterion. Select "Absolute Scrolling" to make the beatmap list scroll by moving your cursor - the part of the list displayed will then depend on your cursor's vertical position. The more beatmaps your list has, the more sensitive it will be to your cursor's movement.
Type on the Song Selection Screen and what you type will appear in this space. At the same time, the beatmap list will display only the maps whose information fields (song artist, song name, beatmapper, difficulty names, tags) match what you've typed.
The beatmap list displays all the beatmaps you have downloaded, with possible narrowing down depending on your selections in this screen. Boxes can have a lot of different colours:
- Red: this beatmap only has one difficulty version.
- Pink: this beatmap has not been played yet (on beatmap sets with more than one difficutly version).
- Orange: this beatmap has been played (on beatmap sets with more than one difficutly version).
- White: this beatmap is currently selected.
You can navigate the beatmap list using the mouse wheel, up and down arrow keys or drag it while holding the left mouse button. By holding down the right mouse button you activate Absolute Scrolling instead (see above). Click on a box to select that beatmap and display its information on the upper left, high scores (if any) on the left and, if you've cleared it, the letter grade of the highest score you've achieved. Click the box again, press Enter or click the osu! logo at the lower right to begin playing the beatmap.
Click the Back button or press Esc to return to the Intro Screen.
Click the Mod Selection button or press F1 to call up the Mod Selection Screen.
In this screen, you can apply modifications ("mods" for short) to gameplay. Some mods lower difficulty and apply a modifier that lowers the score you achieve. Conversely, some mods increase the difficulty, but apply a modifier that increases the score you achieve. Finally, some mods modify gameplay in a different way. Taiko Mode falls in that category. Place your mouse on a mod's icon to see a short description of its effect. Click on an icon to select or deselect that mod. The score multiplier value displays the combined effect the multipliers of the mod(s) of you have selected will have on your score. Click "Reset all mods" or press 1 to deselect all currently selected mods. Click "Close" or press 2 or Esc to return to the Song Selection Screen. While you are on the Mod Selection Screen, you cannot access the Chat and Extended Chat Consoles. Notably, depends on your skin used, the text (like Double-time is renamed to Zoom for example) and icon may be changed but the mod effect will still work as usual.
