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, 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 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.
      • Since August 6th, 2015, MAX.(period) can be unlocked via the EXTRA ATTACK unlocking system, after unlocking EGOISM 440. Note that the SURVIVED BONUS meter has to be filled on BEGINNER, then BASIC, DIFFICULT, and then finally EXPERT.
      • MAX.(period)'s CHALLENGE charts can 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.
  • 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.
