As with all of Konami's Internet Ranking events, the webpage for the game would allow users to enter in a generated password which contains their initials and scores for that session, and the webpage would display the rankings for those who have submitted codes. DDRMAX2 also provides Internet Ranking codes based on the user's performance in the Challenge Mode courses. These scores can also be viewed at home with DDR 5th Mix. The user can save his or her scores from arcade performances, and whenever the game is played in the future, the arcade game will load the scores for each user and show them on the song-selection screen to show the player's best performances. Link Data serves two primary purposes: Score-saving and Internet Ranking. 5th Mix can create two different kinds of arcade link data the Link Data file for DDRMAX2 is known as "New Version" Link Data and is backward-compatible with DDRMAX arcade machines as well. Such memory cards have to be PlayStation 1 (not PS2) memory cards with Link Data from the home version of DDR 5th Mix (the home version of DDRMAX2 cannot create arcade-compatible Link Data). Some machines have the ports to insert PlayStation memory cards. Some of these Challenge remixes do appear on Dance Dance Revolution Extreme as playable tracks. They all present on the home version as normal songs, although only 1 difficulty is available. There are nineteen of these songs, and they are not available in the regular game mode in the arcade version of DDRMAX2. The fan name of the mode comes from the Japanese name for the difficulty, 鬼 ( oni, Japanese for demon). Oni mode courses in DDRMAX2 sometimes have special song remixes that have a special difficulty, referred to as the Challenge difficulty and color-coded navy blue. Players are ranked first by how long they lasted, and then, in case of a tie, by percentage score. The courses Naoki Standard, Nearly = 130, and Paranoia Brothers are used for rankings. In Challenge mode, the dance point system is slightly modified (Perfects and OKs are worth 2 points and Greats are worth 1, everything else is worth 0), and the final score is displayed as a percentage of the maximum possible dance points. (The challenge Lives is also used at DDR SuperNOVA2 in EXTRA STAGE.) If all lives (4) are lost, the game ends and the course fails. Lives can be regained after every song played, and some courses force different modifiers. A life is lost if a combo is broken (which is done by getting a step judged as a Good or less, or by breaking a Freeze). The mode involves playing through 4-10 different usually themed songs with limited gaps between them just like in Nonstop Mode, but the traditional Dance Gauge is replaced by a "battery bar" with 3 lives (4 lives total,). It was officially renamed Challenge Mode in Dance Dance Revolution Extreme to avoid confusion with Nonstop Mode. The Nonstop Challenge, also referred to as Oni Mode, is a feature new to DDRMAX2. On One More Extra Stage, it is in sudden-death mode, which means just one step that is not scored "Perfect" or "Great" or one freeze that is scored "NG" ends the game. The player is forced to play its Oni steps in a Reverse Scroll modifier, a Dark Modifier (Step line disappears) and a x3 Speed modifier. If the player scores a grade of AA or better, then they are forced to play "One More Extra Stage." This time, the Song Wheel is locked on 革命 (KAKUMEI). The Extra Stage is also played in "Pressure" mode, where health bar starts full and does not regenerate if it depletes with missed steps. If, on the final stage, a player gets the grade of AA or better on any Heavy step routine, the game gives the message "Try Extra Stage." The song wheel on the Extra Stage is locked to MAXX UNLIMITED, which is played with the Reverse Scroll modifier, a Dark Modifier (Step line disappears) and a x1.5 Speed modifier. The Groove Radar also returned, along with the return of the previous Foot Rating system. The 2-tiered scoring system which debuted on DDRMAX is still utilized on DDRMAX2. The core gameplay of DDRMAX2 is the same as the previous Dance Dance Revolution games. 3.1.55 Trance de Janeiro (Samba de Janeiro 2002 Epic Vocal Remix).3.1.53 The Whistle Song (Blow My Whistle Baby).3.1.50 Super Star (From Nonstop Megamix).3.1.46 So Fabulous So Fierce (Freak Out).3.1.45 Silent Hill ( 3rd Christmas Mix ).3.1.44 Sexy Planet (From Nonstop Megamix).3.1.40 Nothing Gonna Stop (Dance Mania Mix).3.1.39 My Summer Love ( Tommy's Smile Mix ).3.1.35 Matsuri Japan (From Nonstop Megamix).3.1.19 Dynamite Rave ( B4 Za Beat Mix ).3.1.11 Celebrate Nite ( Euro Trance Style ).3.1.8 Burnin' the Floor ( Blue Fire Mix ).
