Trivia

ΔΜΑΧ's banner.

• ΔMAX was originally the EXTRA STAGE of DanceDanceRevolution Forever, a fan-made DanceDanceRevolution game that was run by the StepMania simulator.
  • As such, ΔMAX is the first BEMANI song that was first originated on a BEMANI simulator.
• ΔΜΑΧ has an unique video, which eliminates any on-screen dancers (except in DanceDanceRevolution S+).
  • In DanceDanceRevolution II/DanceDanceRevolution hottest party5, ΔΜΑΧ's video is played in a tiny monitor on the opposite side of the player on Single and in the center on Double/Versus, due to Nintendo Wii memory limitations.
• ΔΜΑΧ's BPM starts at 100 and gradually builds up by 1 BPM per quarter beat until it hits 573 BPM. This is shown by its unique video.
  • With 473 BPM changes, ΔΜΑΧ holds the record of having highest number of BPM changes of any BEMANI song.
  • ΔΜΑΧ's final BPM, 573, is a reference to the KONAMI number.
    • Also, ΔΜΑΧ's EXPERT charts have 573 notes.
• Δ is Greek for "delta", the fourth letter in the Greek alphabet. Delta is commonly used in subjects of science and mathematics, often to describe change.
  • This might reference ΔΜΑΧ's gradual BPM changes.
• In DanceDanceRevolution UNIVERSE3, ΔΜΑΧ can be unlocked in QUEST MODE by beating Simba on the final floor of the Universe Tower.
• As of December 24th, 2010, ΔMAX's CHALLENGE charts were available for play in DanceDanceRevolution X2. These charts were written by DM Ashura himself as the original EXPERT charts planned for ΔMAX.
• ΔMAX appears as downloadable content for DanceDanceRevolution S+, in the Mega Mix 6 pack.
