People would have the right to feel ParanoiaFuel here even without the spoopy background video. The Difficult [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ8I-h6dOA0&feature=related single]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhIAe8antbo double]] are two of the hardest Difficult charts of all time, and some say Single should be a 16 (there are no 16's on Difficult even in A20+). Both are jumpfests, like slower Fascination Eternal Love Mixes, though Single gets much easier in the second half. Expert cuts down on jumps but adds more stream, with tricky crossovers at the end (cross over on the second arrow, not the fourth). Challenge is hard even for an 18. Almost every step in the first half is part of a crossover or a jump, including crossovers into jumps at 300 BPM. The slowdown includes reading streams just as fast but compressed into 1/4 the spacing, and streams of twelfth jacks as fast as MAX 300's last few notes. The ending is more of the first half.

Rated an 18 on both Single and Double play and with Shock Arrows all over the place, with the Double Challenge chart in particular having the most Shock Arrows of ''any chart in the series''. Don't think that you're safe from Shock Arrows on the lower difficulties, because they are present on Difficult and Expert difficulties as well, a first for the series! Oh, and expect a part where 3 arrows are present in 1 line (1 hold but 2-arrow jump), reminding you of Uh La La La. [[SurpriseDifficulty And you thought]] only Konami originals and ''VideoGame/TouhouProject'' remixes were eligible for boss charts...

*** DDR A20 to present: No Challenge Mode (so courses only use the normal lifebar instead of the battery), with A's timing system (i.e. easier to mash) and 60-second rest breaks. The Dan courses have an "expanded" golden lifebar that makes gaining and losing life harder, so you can rack up a full bar, then survive streams you couldn't normally beat. Kaiden might come close, with four 19-footers, but Boss Rush SN2 is still seen as harder because of those conditions.

* Speaking of "GRADIUSIC CYBER", the singles BASIC and ANOTHER have a 2 note 1/16th that requires the same foot (jackhammer), twice in BASIC and 3 times in ANOTHER. At 160 BPM, this is very painful to do and to this day unheard of for BASIC. For ANOTHER, the only song to do such a pattern is Maxx Unlimited (see below).
** When this song finally gets unlocked, it still remains untouched. Even its STANDARD difficulty is hard, having some death runs that most players at STANDARD level cannot keep up with.

** The death end part from the previous "GRADIUSIC CYBER" Double ANOTHER is carried on to the "~AMD G5 MIX~". You might think this is passed on to MANIAC. Sadly, this was passed on to ANOTHER, making this song harder to Full Perfect than its harder MANIAC counterpart.
