Arcade Boss Songs

If Tyma logic is correct and we add that there can be TWO or more boss songs (simply put, more obstacles), EVERY SONG that is ONLY on Extra Stage is a boss song, beginning from Max 300. Other than that, from DDRMAX and onward, we had official boss songs. Is PARANOiA Survivor and PARANOiA Survivor Max boss songs? Not necessarily. They are the last things to unlock in Extreme.

Are there four boss songs in SuperNOVA? Yes. Are there six boss songs in SuperNova2? Yes.

Do ANY of the songs between 2nd mix and 5th mix count as any boss songs? Most likely no and I don't give a f*ck.

I think I see where you're going, Tyma. DDR X2 had no official "final stage" song, as the extra stage conditions were modified from DDR X such that a player simply had to AA their entire song set to get it, no songs specified. Deltamax is available to play from the start of one's credit, so its status as "that song to beat" is entirely honorary. (not to mention a moot point since out here players still can't fathom anything harder than So Deep)

Still, even for the players who differentiate boss songs as more that "the hardest songs in the game" most will approve of any songs highlighted in red as boss songs. In the international version of DDR X2, Kimono Princess and Roppongi evolved are the only songs to receive this treatment, and only during extra stage / encore extra stage. Replicant D Action songs do not receive this treatment, I have checked.

Well, before the charts went up to 10, the 8s and 9s were considered boss songs; particularly if the Light difficulty was 5 or higher.

Some people consider the IIDX Boss group, bag, CARTOON HEROES (Speedy Mix) and SAKURA as part of Extreme's "boss songs" group too, even though they aren't red in the song group. It's all a matter of perspective during those mixes. Not a lot of songs (apart from 2nd Mix) had many prerequisite requirements; EXTREME is the mix that truly redefined the term "boss song." MAX 1/2 just had "Extra Stage" and "One More/Encore ES."
