  • First North American DanceDanceRevolution title with exclusive licenses, CS originals (new remixes by Sota Fujimori), and BEMANI crossovers.
  • Unlike the original arcade version and Japanese CS release, the North American CS DDRMAX release has foot ratings for songs.
    • It also has the ONI Mode introduced in DDRMAX2, also making its first appearance in a CS DanceDanceRevolution title in any region. The original DDRMAX did not feature any courses or modes.
  • First North American DanceDanceRevolution title with INFORMATION MODE, which tells you information about songs, courses, and certain challenges in the game that have been completed.
  • Only PlayStation2 North American DanceDanceRevolution title with no playable dancers in the backgrounds.
  • Only PlayStation2 North American DanceDanceRevolution title with a high scores display in the game's attract mode.
  • Only PlayStation2 North American DanceDanceRevolution title to not mention DanceDanceRevolution CS (America) in Information Mode in regards to songs that debuted in that game (AM-3P and BRILLIANT 2U (Orchestra Groove))
  • gentle stress (AMD SEXUAL MIX) was renamed to gentle stress (SENSUAL MIX).
  • MATSURI JAPAN's banner is the only banner containing Japanese text without romanization of any kind.
  • CUTIE CHASER MORNING MIX does not have individual charts on DOUBLE. All three DOUBLE charts are the same.
  • Videos for older DanceDanceRevolution songs that were in DDRMAX2 have their videos based on that game.
    • The background videos for songs that did not exist on DDRMAX or DDRMAX2 are direct rips of other songs in DDRMAX2. This includes positions where the videos change from one another, with some alterations depending on the song.
  • Some songs have incorrect Groove Radars (i.e. BABY BABY GIMME YOUR LOVE in both STANDARD and HEAVY difficulties.)
  • At the time of its release, DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution- had the most songs of any CS DanceDanceRevolution game in any region with 71 songs.
  • The grading system is identical to that of its arcade and Japanese CS counterparts, with one exception: Achieving a FULL COMBO will yield a AA rank, regardless of Dance Points.
  • Total number of songs: 71

EXTRA STAGE

To unlock this song, you must clear a HEAVY chart with a rating of AA or higher on your FINAL STAGE. Notably, unlike in the arcade version or the Japanese CS version, a AA in this game can be achieved either through Dance Points or simply a FULL COMBO regardless of Dance Points. MAX 300's HEAVY chart (Single or Double depending on current play mode) will then become available as your EXTRA STAGE, with no way to change difficulty or song.

The EXTRA STAGE is on a Pressure life meter; it starts out at maximum health, but will not be replenished. In addition, the x1.5 and Reverse modifiers are in effect, and the score counter is replaced by a timer displaying elapsed time.

ENCORE EXTRA STAGE

To unlock this song, you must AA one of MAX 300's HEAVY charts on EXTRA STAGE. CANDY☆'s HEAVY charts (Single or Double depending on current play mode) will then appear as your ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. Like with the EXTRA STAGE, you cannot change the song or chart.

The ENCORE EXTRA STAGE is on a "Sudden Death" life system: If you break your combo or get an N.G. on a Freeze Arrow, you instantly fail the stage. As with the EXTRA STAGE, the x1.5 and Reverse modifiers are in effect and a timer indicating elapsed time replaces the score counter.
