Unlockable Songs
In EXTREME, the use of APPEND codes by the arcade operator was restored and the point system added in DDRMAX2 was removed. Similar to how previous APPEND codes worked, each code also unlock the preceding PASSes. For example, the 3rd PASS will unlock the content included in the 1st PASS up to the 3rd PASS. To unlock everything at once, use the 7th PASS (FINAL) code.

FINAL STAGE
The following songs are only available during the FINAL STAGE. PARANOIA survivor MAX appears instead of the original PARANOIA survivor by clearing PARANOiA Rebirth's HEAVY chart with a AA grade or higher during the 1st STAGE, and then clearing PARANOIA EVOLUTION's HEAVY chart with a AA grade or higher during the 2nd STAGE.
The 7th PASS unlocks these songs along with all of its charts to be playable outside of the FINAL STAGE.

EXTRA STAGE
To obtain the EXTRA STAGE, you must AA a HEAVY or CHALLENGE chart in the FINAL STAGE. Afterwards you will unlock the EXTRA STAGE, which will force 1.5x Speed, Reverse, and a "Pressure" Life Gauge on you, regardless of what song you play. You will also be forced onto the HEAVY chart of a song (if a song has an CHALLENGE chart, it will force that on instead).
The legend of MAX can only be played during EXTRA STAGE on HEAVY. However, the 7th PASS unlocks the song along with all of its charts to be playable outside of the EXTRA STAGE.

ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE
To access the ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE, you must AA The legend of MAX as your EXTRA STAGE. You will then start playing Dance Dance Revolution on CHALLENGE difficulty with 3x Speed, Reverse, and a life gauge set to RISKY (one Good/Boo/Miss/N.G., and the song ends).
Similar to the EXTRA STAGE song, the 7th PASS unlock the song and all of its charts to be playable outside of the ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE.
