The other songs hold their own, though, with "V (for EXTREME)" rating 8 feet and "Drop Out" and "PARANOiA ETERNAL" rating 9 feet.

7. This song is a red song (boss song), but only rates 8 feet on Heavy! What is the name of this melody?

Answer: The Four Seasons, Concerto No.4 in F Minor (Winter)

"V (for EXTREME)" is performed by TAKA, better known as DJ TAKA. DJ TAKA has written many songs for the DDR series, including a collaboration with Naoki wherein they modernized Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude" as "Kakumei" for "DDR MAX 2." Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons concertos are the most well known of his works, so choosing "Winter" for this modernization is not unexpected.

11. What color is the background on the "DDR EXTREME" case?

12. "DDR EXTREME" has a mode in which the player must complete a series of tasks through gameplay. What is this mode called?

Answer: Mission Mode

Mission Mode is an entertaining part of gameplay, presenting fun and unique challenges like "Get a full combo on this song" or "Pass this song with Dark and Hidden modifiers on." Some of the missions can be pretty difficult, but passing all 100 of them automatically opens up everything in the game. Stellar Master Mode is like Mission Mode on "DDR SuperNOVA" and Dance Master Mode is featured in "DDR EXTREME 2."

13. Lyrics test: The following lyrics are from which "DDR EXTREME" song? "Everytime I see you falling/I get down on my knees and pray"

Answer: Bizarre Love Triangle

15. Finally, a question for old-school players: Which of these songs from "DDR EXTREME" did NOT make an appearance on the PS1 game "Dance Dance Revolution Konamix"?
