Song Connections / Remixes

• GRADIUS -FULL SPEED- is a remixed medley of various songs from the arcade version of GRADIUS.

Trivia

• By scratching the turntable when there are no scratch notes, the player can hear sound effects from GRADIUS.
• When selected in pop'n music 11, the GRADIUS coin insert sound (the beginning of GRADIUS -FULL SPEED-) is played instead of the usual "Here we go!".
• When you finish GRADIUS -FULL SPEED- in pop'n music, you can play various sound effects with all nine buttons for a few seconds before the WIN/LOSE animation begins.
• The 2P character of GRADIUS -FULL SPEED-, LORD BRITISH, was misspelt as LOAD BRITISH in pop'n music 11. This was corrected in pop'n music 12 いろは.
• Despite both pop'n music 11 and beatmania IIDX 10th style being released nearly at the same time, the pre-Sunny Park BEMANI category of pop'n music counted GRADIUS -FULL SPEED- as a pop'n music song instead of a crossover from beatmania IIDX.
• GRADIUS -FULL SPEED- received an EASY chart on December 12th, 2012 in pop'n music Sunny Park, replacing its old 5-Buttons chart.
• In Toy's March 2, GRADIUS -FULL SPEED- is titled グラディウスメドレー ("GRADIUS medley").
• In GRADIUS -FULL SPEED-'s video, which consists of a playthrough of GRADIUS, the player gets a GAME OVER despite clearly having lives remaining on the life counter.
• GRADIUS -FULL SPEED- can be unlocked from April 12th, 2016 on beatmania IIDX INFINITAS' Akashic Explore event.
