* ''O.N.G.E.K.I.'' (2018-) \\

!! Tropes pertaining to the ''Performai'' series as a whole, as well as ''O.N.G.E.K.I.'' until it gets its own page:
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: In ''O.N.G.E.K.I.'', GP is bought with coins and is used up when playing songs. A pittance of GP can also be used to extend the song selection timer.
* BulletHell: ''O.N.G.E.K.I.'' has pink orbs on the lanes that have to be avoided, coming in rather dense groups on the higher difficulties. Notably, this is the game that has TrueFinalBoss tracks from Creator/{{CAVE}} games!

* HarderThanHard:
** All of the games have the Expert difficulty followed by ''Master'' difficulty in common.
** ''O.N.G.E.K.I.''[='=]s iteration of Master difficulty is notable in that while the lower difficulties only have three lanes of notes that can be activated by face buttons on either side, Master charts can have ''six'' lanes; during the six-lane segments you have to use the correct side to get credit.

** ''O.N.G.E.K.I.'' has Critical Break over Break.

Another hallway-style vertical-scrolling game, this one features a horizontal joystick, two sets of three buttons, and two side buttons on the inner walls of the cabinet. The player must not only hit the correct notes, they must also use the joystick to dodge walls and [[/index]][[BulletHell waves of pink orbs]][[index]], and optionally collect yellow orbs known as "Bells". This game places emphasis on battling opponents; the player assembles a team of three characters of their own with their own stats and effects and try to knock out the enemy team by playing well enough. Characters can be picked either from the player's digital collection or by inserting physical cards into the machine's three card slots.

* ''ONGEKI'' (2018-) \\

All three games have [[invoked]][[NoExportForYou not officially been released outside of the Asia Pacific or Australia]]. ''maimai'' is available in much of that area, ''CHUNITHM'' is slated for a Summer 2020 release in non-Japan Asia in the form of ''CHUNITHM SUPER STAR'', and ''ONGEKI'' remains Japan-only. A US location test of ''maimai'' was conducted from late 2016 through early 2017; a location test of ''CHUNITHM'' in the same region was mentioned as a possibility but never happened. Round 1's USA branches started importing ''maimai'' "classic" cabs running ''maimai [=FiNALE=]'' in 2019, with no online features available.

* NintendoHard: All three games have skill ceilings rivaling that of ''BEMANI'' games, with the highest levels requiring a few years of playing the game to master if one does not already have experience with rhythm games in general. ''maimai'' and ''CHUNITHM'' are at least easy to pick up, but ''ONGEKI'' gets special mention because the unorthodox control scheme also introduces a relatively high skill floor.
* Over100PercentCompletion: As of ''maimai Deluxe'', all three games have a maximum score of 101.0000% or 1,010,000[[note]]''maimai Deluxe'' uses percentages like classic ''maimai'' does but with four decimal places, so it has the same scoring scale as the other two games in practice[[/note]]. Getting that last 1% relies on performing "extra credit" actions like getting Critical Perfects on Break notes in ''maimai'', simply getting Justice Criticals in ''CHUNITHM'', and getting Bells in ''ONGEKI''.

* CopyProtection: Don't even think about importing a cab for private use. ''Performai'' cabinets come with security measures to ensure that they are only run by authorized arcades, and if they go too long without handshaking to SEGA's servers, [[SelfDestructingSecurity they will self-brick]].

A radial-scroll game best known for its "washing machine" cabinet design. Rings spawn in the center and go towards the edge of the screen, at which point the player has to hit the corresponding buttons, while occasional "slide" and "touch" notes require the player to interact with the touchscreen.

All of the games use Sega's ALL.Net[[note]]not the actual URL of the service[[/note]] ('''A'''musement '''L'''inkage '''L'''ive '''Net'''work) online infrastructure for storing player data; the player logs in by using a SEGA Aime card, Creator/BandaiNamco's Banapassport card (which is obviously also used on Namco's games), or the Amusement IC card which can also work on games that take Banapassport, [[Creator/{{Konami}} e-Amusement]], or [[Creator/{{Taito}} NESiCA]] cards. Having player data allows the player to save records, unlock new songs, amongst many other things.
