Keyboardmania (alternately KEYBOARD MANIA, and abbreviated KBM) is a rhythm video game created by Konami in which up to two players use 24-key keyboards to play the piano or keyboard part of a selected song. 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 leanrer". The main difference is that it use more keys, and generally play MIDI files only.
There is also a free version called DoReMi mania, which use *.pms files. However, player can use a midi to pms converter to simplify editing.
