• Elemental Creation's DanceDanceRevolution charts switch between 106, 212, and 424 BPM, running at 424 BPM for the majority of the song. In all other BEMANI games that it appears in, Elemental Creation's charts run at a constant 212 BPM.
• Elemental Creation holds multiple notecount records in BEMANI games:
  • In beatmania IIDX, Elemental Creation has the second highest number of notes of any non-LEGGENDARIA Single Player ANOTHER chart, behind Chrono Diver -PENDULUMs-'s 2222 notes.
  • In DanceDanceRevolution, Elemental Creation's charts currently hold most of the records for the most number of steps on any non-long version song, with:
    • Single BEGINNER: 285 steps, beating Valkyrie dimension's 253 steps.
    • Single DIFFICULT: 614 steps, beating PARANOiA Revolution's 510 steps.
    • Single EXPERT: 789 steps, beating PARANOiA Revolution's 679 steps.

• At the time when Elemental Creation came out, jubeat's bonus score calculation formula couldn't handle a chart with more than 1024 notes (players would need to almost get an all PERFECT or GREAT to get a full bonus score). This makes Elemental Creation's EXTREME chart essentially having the max notecount at that time, with 1023 notes.
