General Comments
This song cut is different from the Dance Dance Revolution Max 2 edit, so this file doesn't contain official music nor does it contain official steps.
Basic/Light
The freeze patterns are easy, but they are extremely abundant. There is a long hold in the middle that may help novices get used to shifting their weight while holding an arrow.
Trick/Standard
The freeze arrow patterns in the beginning and end require the player to quickly release and hold consecutive freeze arrows in the same direction. The rythym of the steps isn't out of the ordinary, with occasional clusters of three, five, or seven eighth steps.
Maniac/Heavy
The freeze arrows in the beginning were originally made to overlap, but they produced an extremely messy pattern to look at, so it was reduced to short freezes an eighth-note in length. Although sixteenth notes may seem cruel in a fast song like this, they only occur in groups of three that are spaced out from each other. The step pattern flows nicely, but requires a bit of twisting and changing the direction that the player faces.
