There are several key gameplay Mechanics unique to Big Bang Beat

P-Gauge: The P-Gauge is placed directly under the Health Bar, and monitors usage of special moves. Whenever a special move (or, in versions after 1.01, the strong attack) is used, this meter depletes. If a move would consume an amount of power that is greater than what is available, it cannot be performed. This meter automatically fills, or can be filled faster by using the game's "Charge" feature, which leaves the player vulnerable to attack. As the player loses health, the P-Gauge can "fill in" the empty parts of the Health Bar, thus allowing the player to use more specials if his/her life is low.

Attack Power Correction Value: Represented by a number near the center of the screen. When the P-Gauge is full, by holding the "Charge" button and rapidly pushing the directional buttons, the player can sacrifice health for increased damage from all of his/her character's attacks. The maximum value places attacks at 199% power and leaves the character with 1 health point.

B-Power Gauge: The game's "Super Bar." This bar is filled either by attacking the opponent or by picking up stones dropped by attacked opponents, known as "B Stones." When the number on the bar (called the "B-Power Stock") is 100 or higher, the player can execute one of several techniques that depend on this gauge:
