- MAX 300
- Finish the final song in heavy mode with an "AA" rank to unlock the MAX 300 extra stage. Complete the extra stage (MAX 300 in heavy mode, at fast speed, and reverse arrows) to unlock MAX 300 in arcade mode. Alternately, clear 100 songs in heavy mode.
- Hint: Unlock songs faster
- This trick requires a controller with an auto-fire feature. Set a game to play in Event mode and start a Versus game at any difficulty, except for Oni mode. Using a method of your choice, then hold X or Circle for an extended period of time at the song selection screen. Songs that can be unlocked by playing a number of songs should be unlocked after about one and a half hours. Note: This will affect the Best rating of one song; most likely the default song.
