Trivia

MAX.(period)'s banner.
  • MAX.(period) never made an appearance on an arcade title for nearly 12 years, not even making an appearance in the arcade version after EXTREME three years later, despite that its 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 were forced when playing the song. Clearing it would unlock "The Dark One" as a selectable dancer.
    • From Replicant D-ignition's 2nd Phase onwards, MAX.(period) was moved down to EXTRA STAGE, but could 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 would immediately trigger Over The “Period” as the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE and unlock RINON as a selectable dancer.
      • From August 6th, 2015 to December 23rd, 2015, MAX.(period) could be unlocked via the EXTRA ATTACK unlocking system, after unlocking EGOISM 440. Note that the SURVIVED BONUS meter had to be filled on BEGINNER, then BASIC, DIFFICULT, and then finally EXPERT.
      • MAX.(period)'s CHALLENGE charts could be unlocked via EXTRA ATTACK after unlocking Over The “Period”'s EXPERT charts.
      • When played as an ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, the "CLEARED" message appears right at the end of the song, appearing when the sound of a closing door can be heard in the song. This also occurs in DanceDanceRevolution A, albeit on any stage.
        • As such, the GROOVE RADAR values for all of MAX.(period)'s charts have been lowered to fit the new song length.
    • From December 24th, 2015 onwards, MAX.(period) has been automatically unlocked for all players.
  • During the 180 BPM section of the song, MAX.(period)'s charts (except for BEGINNER) use portions of PARANOiA's charts.
    • MAX.(period)'s 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 on 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.
