-Once the player has met the requirements for at least one song, a special Replicant D-action folder will appear during EXTRA STAGE only, containing all songs that the player has met the requirements for. The game will first inform you on songs with high difficulties, and by opening it, the player will be locked onto the folder. Inside the folder a special BGM plays, hiding any song previews. While playing each song, the player's dancer character battles a [[RINON]] clone of the song's color, who appears as a secondary background dancer.
+Once the player has met the requirements for at least one song, a special Replicant D-action folder will appear during EXTRA STAGE, with the available songs based on whichever criteria have been fulfilled. Its folder will appear with one player only. Once the folder is opened, the player is then locked onto the folder until the end of the credit. Unlike other past boss songs, the BPM values are displayed but song previews are hidden. While playing each song, the player's dancer character battles a [[RINON]] clone of the song's color, who appears as a secondary background dancer.
-To obtain a medal for the first six songs, players have to clear them on EXPERT with a AA rank or better. By obtaining all six medals, the player will immediately play [[Valkyrie dimension]] as ENCORE EXTRA STAGE on EXPERT without any opportunity to change any options (except the speed mod, by pressing the left/right buttons). Note that playing the song will cost all six medals, thus the player must obtain all the medals to attempt the song again.

-=== Updates / Regional Differences ===
+As of August 31st, 2010, medals can be obtained BASIC or DIFFICULT, though Valkyrie dimension will still be forced on EXPERT difficulty. This also fixed an exploit where players play Valkyrie dimension with CUT2 enabled (by clearing Sakura Sunrise on CUT2 during EXTRA STAGE).
-As of August 31st, 2010, it is possible to obtain medals by getting a AA on BASIC or DIFFICULT; however, Valkyrie dimension's difficulty will still be locked to EXPERT. In addition, any arrow-removing options (CUT1/CUT2, Jumps Off, Freezes Off) that the player has set on their sixth medal song will be unset for Valkyrie dimension. ''(This fixes an exploit where it was possible to play Valkyrie dimension's EXPERT chart on CUT2, making it much easier, by obtaining the last medal on Sakura Sunrise on CUT2.)''
-As of November 2nd, 2010, the VS REPLICANT boss course is unlocked, making it possible to play all seven Replicant D-action songs in a row on one credit, and also revealing Valkyrie dimension's DIFFICULT charts for the first time.
+Replicant D-action ended on February 23rd, 2011, and every seven songs are now playable by default. The last four song's CHALLENGE charts are now added and could only be playable on Marathon Mode; these charts are eventually unlocked on April 1st, 2011.
-As of February 23rd, 2011, the Replicant D-action event has ended, the special folder is no longer accessible, and all seven songs are unlocked for normal play (revealing Valkyrie dimension's BASIC and BEGINNER charts for the first time). In addition, CHALLENGE charts for the last four songs are unlocked for Marathon Mode.
+In the Western releases of DanceDanceRevolution X2, to compensate for the lack of e-AMUSEMENT support, the first three songs were added on July 28th, 2011 (the other four songs could only be played on VS REPLICANT course instead), followed by the other four songs on October 1st, 2011.
-As of April 1st, 2011, the four CHALLENGE charts that were previously Marathon Mode-exclusive are unlocked for normal play.
-In the Western releases of DanceDanceRevolution X2, due to the releases not supporting e-AMUSEMENT, the unlock mechanics of the seven songs were heavily simplified. On release date (December 31st, 2010), all seven songs were locked. On July 28th, 2011, the first three songs were unlocked for normal play and the VS REPLICANT course was unlocked, allowing access to the remaining four songs. On October 1st, 2011, the remaining four songs were unlocked for normal play.
