Hold down the green Start button on the arcade unit after selecting your song to be taken to a screen where you can alter your song in terms of speed, appearance, scrolling direction, and much more.

To get the Extra Stage, obtain a grade of AA or higher on your Final Stage; it must be on Heavy or Oni. After the song, if obtained, the words ''Try Extra Stage!!!'' should appear onscreen. The Extra Stage is always played with 1.5x Speed, Reverse, and Pressure mode (The dance meter starts out full and will only drop; you cannot regain your meter), on Heavy or Oni difficulty.

To play PARANOiA Survivor MAX as your last song you must AA each song from the paranoia brothers oni course in reverse. It will be selectable as your last stage.

I.E. AA PARANOiA Evolution, then PARANOiA Rebirth as a 3 song stage.

If it's a four song stage, AA PARANOiA Evolution, then Rebirth, then KCET.

If it's a five, Evolution, Rebirth, KCET, MAX.

To play the 2nd Extra Stage, Dance Dance Revolution, by DDR All-Stars, play and obtain a grade of AA or higher on The Legend of Max, as your Extra Stage. Dance Dance Revolution (the song) is played on Oni difficulty with 3x Speed, Reverse, and Sudden Death ON (One Good/Boo/Miss/N.G. will fail you.) Good luck!

To see the songs listed in different orders, press both your left and right arrows on the main console.

1 Push will list the songs by the mix they were introduced in.

2 Pushes will list songs in alpha-numeric order.

3 Pushes will list songs in order of number of beats per minute.

4 Pushes will list songs in order of most popular/most played on that machine.

5 Pushes will bring you back to the original track listing.

There is a way to adjust the difficulty of the songs in Oni mode courses. To do this you find the course you would like to play, and then highlight the course before, or after it (which ever one has the easier skill settings).
Then press the arrow to move to the desired course and while the song list is collapsing press the start button.
The timing is very hard, but possible.

Note: If either of the courses use skill settings that don't exist in the other course you can cause the machine to crash.
