* Both versions of Candy ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbuHvnNdPFo Candy☆]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Id-uhglogCQ Candy♥]]) from DDRMAX and DDRMAX2 respectively are both equally good, Candy☆ is a very fast, upbeat, and happy track that makes you forget that it's the One More Extra Stage of the entry it came from, while Candy♥ is a slower, vocal version of it.

ARM, by the way, stresses that the violin parts were done ''live, with an actual human performer'', and studied the works of Niccolo Paganini -- the violinist rumored to have struck a DealWithTheDevil -- as part of producing the track.

* ''DDR A'' ends with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYJXWwKFabA Endymion]], possibly one of the most amazing final boss songs in the history of ''DDR''. It starts with a calm but strong string melody, then quickly blasts you through a fiery speedcore storm. It's an amazing clash between orchestral and hardcore techno, and perfectly fits its status as ''DDR A''[='=]s [[TrueFinalBoss hardest challenge]]. The composer of this song? ARM, of Music/{{IOSYS}} fame!

** The less-remembered 2MB remix [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddvx9Shc1ZI MAX.(period)]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9exquNpa08 (clean audio only link here)]], available only on the Japanese console version of Extreme. It was the utter peak of difficulty escalation in DDR before In The Groove's challenge-oriented design forced Konami to up the ante to match. The fourth wall gets a beating - the background video depicts recording sessions and the distorted voice is whispering "WHY DO YOU NEED KONAMI ORIGINAL SONGS?". The normally silent [[RecurringRiff slowdown]] has a tiny glimpse of nostalgia to the first ever DDR mix, with the faint background music and step patterns taken from [=PARANOiA=], the first boss song of the series. After a few seconds of standard MAX fare, the speed rockets to a staggering ''six hundred beats per minute,'' the fastest official song scrolling speed around that time. The rest of the MAX songs skirted the line between "legitimate song" and "difficulty justification", but MAX. is an unabashed attack towards the player.
*** In DDR 2014, MAX.(period) was available as the [[FinalBoss Encore Extra Stage]] of the Replicant D-Ignition event. When the second phase began, however, MAX.(period) was moved down to the Extra Stage. Meanwhile, they added a [[HarderThanHard challenge chart]] that was rated ''[[NintendoHard level 18]]''. [[spoiler:Getting a AA rank on either the Challenge or Hard chart would move you to the TrueFinalBoss, Over The Period...]]

* While most, if not all, of the songs from ''DDR A'''s Extra Exclusive folder are awesome in their own right, [[https://youtu.be/IpW-Th39_v0?t=22s Ishtar]] by Gekidan Record stands out.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0L4vCUVC8E Max 300]] from ''Dance Dance Revolution 6th Mix'' (also known as ''DDRMAX''). The first Extra Stage-exclusive (initially) song, and the first to clock in at 300 BPM. When ''DDRMAX'' was first released, being able to clear its Heavy/Expert charts was a huge deal.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr1TBEdjG90 Max 300 (Super-Max-Me Mix)]] (originally) from DDR Ultramix 2 on X-box, a remix of both Max 300 and [=MaxX=] Unlimited (though mainly [[NonIndicativeName the latter]]).

** It's on the fence whether or not it's technically a "MAX" song, mostly owing to its softer difficulty, but [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XUOFXjG9uA MAXIMIZER]] is just a minute and a half of fast, pulse-pounding, hardcore techno goodness.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7AzpFebNTg UNBELIEVABLE (Sparky Remix)]], an upbeat, energetic tune courtesy of jun serving as the very first [[TrueFinalBoss Encore Extra Stage]] of DDR X3. The song has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdsiJb5i-jc long version]], which, like New Decade, is playable in its debut game, DanceDanceRevolution II on the Wii, under the Replicant D-Action folder.
