DDRMAX: Dance Dance Revolution Hints & Cheats

Play exactly 500 songs to unlock the DDRMAX USA exclusive song, Drop the Bomb (System S.F. Mix), without having to clear the difficult, ''Hardcore'' Oni course.

To unlock Logical Dash, complete 105 songs.
To unlock 5.1.1., complete 110 songs.

On the difficulty selection screen, keep pressing right until you scroll past ''Heavy'' difficulty. The announcer will give the ominous warning of ''This mode is difficult!'', and you'll be able to select Oni mode. In this mode, you will select a predetermined set of songs, and missing four steps yields a Game Over.

To play the really hard song MAX 300, and without having to play 100 songs to unlock it. Choose roulette for the song and the songs will start to spin. MAX 300 will be in red writing, and it will be the only song in red. Time the roulette just right to play MAX 300!!

Go into ''Information'' from the main menu screen, and the background music you'll hear in the information section is an extended version of Look To The Sky (True Color Mix) that's almost 6 and a half minutes long (without repeating)! Enjoy!

To access the song options menu, hold O or X when choosing a song until the menu shows up. On this menu, you can change the speed the arrows scroll in, turn the arrows, add boost, turn on little, solo, and flat modes, and turn off freeze arrows. You can also choose the song difficulty in case you made a mistake.

When you are on your final stage in Game Mode, AA your last song on Heavy difficulty to play Extra Stage. In this stage, you will play MAX 300 on Heavy difficulty with 1.5x, Reverse, and Pressure Mode on.

After you complete your final stage and the credits are rolling, you can play DDR with the names in the credits by hitting a button as the names pass in front of the guide arrows at the top of the screen. They pass in front at the speed of the song playing in the background (Candy*)

While at the select difficulty screen, after you select your difficulty, hold down the start button, and keeping holding it pass the long arrow instruction, when the song screen selection screen comes up, look down at the difficulty chart, you sould notice there are little numbers there. This indicate's the amount of groove in the song.

To get this, you must beat the Extra Stage version of MAX 300 with a AA ranking. You will then get a prompt saying ENCORE EXTRA STAGE UNLOCKED, or something like that, in white. When you return to the select stage screen, it will show the hidden song, CANDY, on heavy, 1.5X arrow speed, and reverse.
NOTE: If you want to beat this song on ENCORE, you can't get anything less than PERFECT or GREAT when hitting an arrow. Miss one, and you lose!
