Release Information
- Release Date: April 24th, 2003
- Retail value: 6,800 yen (7,140 with taxes)
General Information / Changes
- A MINUTE (Extended Mix), IT'S RAINING MEN (Almighty Mix), MORE THAN I NEEDED TO KNOW, and THERE YOU'LL BE are missing from the arcade songlist.
- As a result, BABY LOVE ME is now the default song.
- Songs are now sorted in ABC order by genre on the songwheel, unlike the arcade version, which orders them by their LIGHT foot ratings.
- The window for background videos is now a little expanded, removing the black borders on both sides of the screen.
- All CHALLENGE-only remixes now use their new re-colored banners/backgrounds first seen in DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME.
- They are playable outside of CHALLENGE MODE and are properly credited in courses, unlike the arcade version.
- They also use new sample playbacks, which would be first used in the arcade series starting in DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA.
- First Japanese CS DanceDanceRevolution title in the main series in which the arcade beatmania IIDX crossovers don't have to be unlocked.
- Can unlock everything in DDRMAX CS through System Data Support.
- DDRMAX2 -DanceDanceRevolution 7thMIX- CS is the only Japanese home port of a mainline DanceDanceRevolution arcade game in which none of its new CS songs were ever ported to an arcade release during the time the series was producing Japanese CS releases.
- Final Japanese DanceDanceRevolution release to use KONAMI's 1998-2003 logo.
- Total songs: 74

CHALLENGING MODE courses
Like its arcade counterpart, DDRMAX2 CS features CHALLENGE MODE. In this mode, you play a set of songs back-to-back with no breaks, similar to NONSTOP in earlier games. However, it works very differently:
- Instead of the usual dance gauge, you have a battery with three marks on it. Each time you get anything lower than a PERFECT or GREAT, or break a freeze arrow, a part of the battery will deplete; four missteps results in an instant GAME OVER. The battery will refill between songs.
- Mods cannot be set in this mode; you are locked into default colored arrows at 1X.
- Your combo will only increase with PERFECTs.
- Jumps count as one step, unlike in regular play.
- Regardless if you fail or pass a course, you get an overall percentage out of 100 of your performance in the course, which can also be seen in the top left/right corners of the screen as you play.
Only the first three courses are available by default. The rest must be unlocked.

You can unlock the CHALLENGE-only charts faster by doing the following:
- Create a Course with ORDER 1-2-3
- Put any number of songs in the course, all on ROULETTE
- Press Circle to customize the ROULETTE songs, put them all on ONI, and apply the LITTLE mod.
Now you will play the ONI songs with much simpler charts, removing all but the quarter notes. Repeat until all 22 of them are unlocked.
