Since HEAVENLY HAVEN, you can buy charts direct from the track select screen. As such, the SDVX Station will only have the Appeal Card generator and [[POLICY BREAK]] sections. Due to the implementation of MAXIMUM difficulty for newer songs, many ADVANCED charts that previously require purchase from the station are now unlocked by default. Due to the expansion of the difficulty system, songs that previously required clears from a certain difficulty level has either been adjusted or removed altogether.
