Trivia

MAX.(period)'s banner.

• MAX.(period) did not appear in an arcade DanceDanceRevolution release until nearly 12 years after its console debut.
  • However, its banner could be found in the DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA internal data.
• When it finally appeared in DanceDanceRevolution (2014), its CHALLENGE chart was replaced with a brand new one.
• When played and passed as an ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, the "CLEARED" shutter is delayed by about nine seconds (compared to when played on any other stage), to synchronize it with the sound effect of the shutter in the song.
  • As such, the GROOVE RADAR values for all of MAX.(period)'s charts have been lowered to fit the new song length.^{[citation needed]}
• During the 180 BPM section of the song, MAX.(period)'s charts (except for BEGINNER) use portions of PARANOiA's charts.
  • MAX.(period)'s new CHALLENGE charts use parts of PARANOiA (X-Special)'s charts.
• In MAX.(period)'s video, a video clip of PARANOiA being selected and played 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 in its original background and banner.
  • MAX.(period)'s video is also now played in the background of a midnight blue-recolored version of Valkyrie dimension's pink Replicant D-action background dance stage and is not full-screen.
• MAX.(period) ranked #1 in the BEMANI Fan Site CHECK!SONGS Monthly Ranking list for May 2015.
