  • ΔMAX contains samples songs of the MAX series of boss songs, most notably from MAX 300 and The legend of MAX.
  • An early version of ΔMAX was used in the DDR Forever cabinet at the Tokyo Game Action event. This early version has softer keyboards and it lacks the explosion sound at the beginning of the song.
