The game features updated graphics, new musics, costumes and acessories, aside from bringing back several of the ones from the other games.
 
The premise is a little different from the first game, and in fact, doesn't happen in the same timeline as the other games (except for The iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars, from wich it's a [[Prequel]]). On this. the Idols debuted around six months before the game starts but aren't faring very well, until Ritsuko got aproval from the 765 Pro Office to produce her own Idol Unit, the Ryuugu Komachi. Seeing as the new unit began to increase in popularity and success more satisfactorily than the other Idols alone, the President Takagi decided to hire another producer to create another Idol Unit. This is where the [[Player Character]] enter.
 
Moreover, all of the girls backstories and some of their visuals were changed, in some cases radically. To name a few, Takane and Hibiki never worked for 961 Pro, and were part of the 765 Pro office from the beginning. Mami, like in the first game, used to be a [[Tag-Team Twins|Tag Team Twin]] but isn't anymore, and let her hair grow to diferentiate herself even more from her sister. Miki's hair natural color is blonde, not dyed, and instead of being all on the back is curled over her shoulders. Yukiho's voice actress [[The Other Darrin|changed,]] among other changes revealed on their storylines.
Line 94:
* [[Jail Bait Wait]] - Some of the routes end up having this feel after {{spoiler|the producer goes to Hollywood and comes back a year later.}}
* [[Jiggle Physics]] - Takane and Azusa bounce quite a lot in the promo videos for 2. Somewhat frustratingly, the girls' hair is still animated far less realistically.
** [[A-Cup Angst|Chihaya]], the flattest girl in the series, also bounces around now.
* [[Joke Item]] - A few of the acessories. The pacifier, carrot...
* [[Kirk Summation]] - The Producer during the final confrontation with Jupiter delivers this, wich in turn...
** [[Shut Up, Kirk]] - forces President Kuroi to spill the beans to his real reasons as to why he wants to beat the 765 Pro Agency. {{spoiler|This ends up being the point where Touma decides to end his contract with 961 Pro.}}
Line 106:
* [[Luminescent Blush]] - Quite a few (a lot in fact), but Iori gets the biggest one in her Extra Episode route.
* [[Magic Skirt]] - All the costumes that sport one. Most notable on the Aloha Costume. When the Futami twins first wear one, they do a turning jump. The skirt flyies high but not enough to show anything.
* [[Male Gaze]]
** Almost all the scenes that Iori appears, the first shot is of her hips.
** During Hibiki's True End, she {{spoiler|tells the producer that she has become more sexy over the course of the year he's been in America. Cue the camera zooming on her chest and hips.}}
Line 112:
* [[Mind Screw]] - {{spoiler|Chihaya's route. She's suffering from an incurable chronic disease that is making her gradually lose her voice. After the Producer declares to a Swallow, who was her brother reincarnated [[It Makes Sense in Context|(or something to that effect)]], that he'll protect Chihaya, her disease miraculously disappears. She becomes so cheerful that would give even Yayoi a run for her money.}}
* [[Money Multiplier]] - Two of the reporters act as this.
* [[More Friends, More Benefits]] - The more you use the idols on each playthrough, the higher their [[Emoticon|smiley]] will be when you are selecting the guests for special quintet performances. If you get them to pink (the highest level) they will never fail to show up when you call them.
* [[Motor Mouth]] - Mami before the final confrontation with Jupiter on her route. She goes through almost all her preset movements and facial expressions in one single phrase while telling the boys why her unit won't lose to them in the Festival.
* [[My Eyes Are Up Here]] - {{spoiler|From Hibiki's end, when the Producer is pulling a [[Male Gaze]] on her.}}
