* BossInMookClothing: Remember "Nyan Cat" from ''Sound Voltex Booth''? In ''Sound Voltex II'', it gets an [[HarderThanHard Infinite]] chart. And it's rated a ''15.''

** ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' has a particularly large presence, featuring Appeal Cards of the characters and over 50 ''Touhou'' arranges.

** Generally subverted in that most BEMANI songs that make it over to SDVX get remixed, often by a artist contributing via ''Sound Voltex Floor''.
** Played straight with the [[MeaningfulName POLICY BREAK]] event in SDVX II, in which songs are crossed over from other BEMANI games and left in original form (excluding in-game filters). So far, the event has crossed over three songs: [[VideoGame/ReflecBeat "VALLIS-NERIA"]], [[VideoGame/{{jubeat}} "I'm So Happy"]], and [[VideoGame/PopnMusic "BabeL ~Next Story~"]].

** Occasionally, using the knobs will cause the track to ''DoABarrelRoll!''

* {{Crossover}}: Generally subverted in that most BEMANI songs that make it over to SDVX get remixed, often by a artist contributing via ''Sound Voltex Floor''.

'''SOUND VOLTEX''' is the newest member of {{Konami}}'s {{Bemani}} series of RhythmGames. Its a variation of {{beatmania}} with pretty much identical gameplay, in regards to the "hit the keys when they hit the line" part (but thenagain, aren't most rhythm games similar to that in the first place?). But instead of the familiar piano keys, it uses four square buttons in a row, accompanied by two larger "FX" buttons directly below them, along with effector knobs on both sides (which you must either slowly rotate in a certain direction, or quickly slam between sides).

* CallARabbitASmerp:
** The judgements are called CRITICAL (perfect), NEAR (slightly off), and ERROR (way off or missing outright).
** Combo is referred to as Chain, though this is a fairly mild example as the two terms are interchangable in many games.
** A stage/song is referred to as a "track".
** Clearing a track with no ERROR judgements, known as a Full Combo in other BEMANI games, yields the message "ULTIMATE CHAIN".
