Trivia

MAX.(period)'s banner.

• MAX.(period) never made an arcade version appearance for nearly 12 years. This may be because MAX.(period) was originally intended to be in the CS counterpart of what was supposed to be the final DanceDanceRevolution installment.
  • MAX.(period) did not make an appearance in the arcade version after EXTREME three years later. However, MAX.(period)'s banner can be found in the DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA data.
  • MAX.(period) finally appeared in DanceDanceRevolution (2014) as the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE song of the Replicant D-ignition event, achieved by obtaining a AA or greater on EGOISM 440. RISKY, Reverse, and 1.5x Hi-SPEED options are forced when playing the song.
  • As of Replicant D-ignition's 2nd Phase, MAX.(period) was moved down to EXTRA STAGE, but can still be accessed as an ENCORE EXTRA STAGE by obtaining a AA or greater on EGOISM 440.
    • MAX.(period) also received brand new CHALLENGE charts as part of the 2nd Phase of the Replicant D-ignition event.
    • Note that obtaining a AA or greater on MAX.(period) as the EXTRA STAGE will immediately trigger Over The “Period” as the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE.
• In MAX.(period)'s video, a video clip of PARANOiA on the original DanceDanceRevolution game is shown.
• MAX.(period)'s jacket and new background image in the video feature the Wii dance mat, instead of the PlayStation / PlayStation 2 dance mat used on its original background and banner.
  • MAX.(period)'s video is also now in the background and is not full-screen.

Why do you need KONAMI ORIGINAL songs?

They varingly continue to grow,

Whether it's doom or hope.
