 ;EXTRA STAGE
 :First game: [[AC GF1|GUITARFREAKS]]
-:An additional stage earned after meeting certain requirements in Standard or Bonus Track Mode (refer to each game's information page for specific requirements). This typically allows for an EXTRA STAGE-specific song new to the game to be selected, though in later mixes the player may also have the option of selecting any other song from the songlist.

 ;EXTREME
 :First game: [[AC GF5DM4|GUITARFREAKS 5thMIX & drummania 4thMIX]]
-:The most difficult tier of the classic GF/DM three difficulty tiers. Songs in this tier typically range from 40-70 (on a 1-99 scale) and peak at 99. This is synonymous with Expert difficulty in [[AC GFDM XG|GF/DM XG]].

This difficulty was renamed as '''EXPERT''' in [[AC GFDM XG|GuitarFreaksXG & DrumManiaXG]], but it was reverted back to EXTREME in [[AC GD|GITADORA]].

 ;HALF-DARK
 :First game: [[AC GFDM V4|GuitarFreaks V4 & DrumMania V4 RockxRock]]
-:Game modifier similar to Dark, which darkens the background frame and play lanes, but keeps measure lines and the target timing area intact. This modifier is typically used to help see notes more clearly, which may clash with the colors of the background or lanes.

 ;HI-SPEED
 :First game: [[AC GF1|GUITARFREAKS]]
-:Game modifier which adjusts the scroll rate of notes. Each scroll rate is constant across all songs; a 65 BPM song set at Hi-Speed 4x will scroll at the same rate as a 300 BPM song at Hi-Speed 4x (although several exceptions exist in early releases of GF/DM). Hi-Speed varies from 1.0x to 10.0x (also known as Hi-Speed MAX in some versions) in increments of 0.5x, with [[AC GFDM V4|GF/DM V4]] introducing a Hi-Speed 0.5x and 20.0x.

 ;Open Pick
 :First game: [[AC GF7DM6|GUITARFREAKS 7thMIX & drummania 6thMIX]]
-:One of two alternative playstyles in GuitarFreaks. Selecting Open Pick adds Open notes to the note chart, which are strummed without holding down any frets. Many Open Pick charts are nearly identical to their Guitar counterparts, with Open notes merely replacing notes. This mode was removed in GF/DM XG, and Open notes now appear in Expert and Master charts by default.
