DDRMAX2 Dance Dance Revolution Hints & Cheats

Points are gained by completing songs. Points are cumulative and carry over into the next unlock.

** Signifies Oni only stepcharts.

Note that Event Mode must be turned OFF to do these.

Extra Stage is MaxX Unlimited Heavy, 1.5x Reverse Dark Pressure (bar starts full and does not recover)
Encore Stage is Kakumei Challenge 3x Reverse Dark Sudden Death (break combo or miss a freeze and you're out)

Obtain an AA by either a full combo or a high Perfect ratio (varies by song).

Note that if you pass either Extra or Encore stage, the corresponding song will become available for normal play if it isn't already.

If a song doesn't have steps for a particular difficulty, it does not count toward mastering that difficulty. The unlocks must be played as well.

For reference, there are 62 songs with Beginner-Heavy steps. 8 songs contain Challenge steps (Kakumei has every difficulty).

Whether you're playing DDRMAX or DDRMAX2, if the workout data is on the same memory card, when you pop in one of the games, it'll automatically load your collected data from both games.
