GROOVE RADAR Special Songs

The "GROOVE RADAR" Special songs are a set of six unlockable songs using the new e-AMUSEMENT members only feature, My GROOVE RADAR (Myグルーヴレーダー). They are all previously released songs by 前田尚纪 from DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX, 3rdMIX, 4thMIX, and DDRMAX2 with new CHALLENGE charts. Due to some of them having already CHALLENGE charts, these new special CHALLENGE charts were added individually in the SuperNOVA2 folder under their "GROOVE RADAR" Special related subtitles instead, with no other difficulty.

The first five songs are each associated to one of the GROOVE RADAR five parameters: STREAM, CHAOS, FREEZE, AIR and VOLTAGE. When a parameter reaches 100, the corresponding song is unlocked. In order to raise each parameter to 100, the player have to play songs that contain a high value of that parameter. In the case of DEAD END, it requires to have filled all of the five parameters to 100 in order to unlock it. On April 10th, 2008, the unlock period expired and these songs have been unlocked for normal play for everyone.

FINAL STAGE/EXTRA STAGE/ENCORE EXTRA STAGE Songs

In SuperNOVA2, the requirements for the EXTRA STAGE changed and the ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE was renamed ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. At first, the player had to get A on the 1st or 2nd STAGE to unlock hidden song(s) for the FINAL STAGE. Getting an A allow the player to unlock the easiest difficulty played while a AA unlocks all difficulty levels. Getting a AA or higher on Unreal, or the FINAL song on Random, earns the player the EXTRA STAGE - NGO (for example). Getting a AA on NGO unlocks TRIP MACHINE PhoeniX as the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE.

At the launch of the game, these 3 songs were selected to be part of the system to get to the EXTRA and ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. As time went on, new songs were added via e-AMUSEMENT as ENCORE EXTRA STAGE at first. Following the time schedule below, the songs were moved gradually from being ENCORE EXTRA STAGE songs to the EXTRA STAGE, then to the FINAL STAGE before being completely unlocked for everyone on normal play.

On FINAL STAGE, the available difficulties for Unreal, NGO, TRIP MACHINE PhoeniX, PARANOiA (HADES), Pluto, and Pluto Relinquish depend on the performance grade the player obtains on any stage prior to FINAL STAGE:

• AA or AAA: all difficulties available (except CHALLENGE).
• A on any difficulty: only that difficulty is available (except CHALLENGE). If an A is obtained in CHALLENGE difficulty, EXPERT will be available for FINAL STAGE instead.

By clearing the above songs (or RANDOM, using the available difficulties for NGO) on FINAL STAGE with a AA or AAA, EXTRA STAGE will be available afterwards.

On EXTRA STAGE, the player must select either NGO, TRIP MACHINE PhoeniX, PARANOiA (HADES), Pluto, or Pluto Relinquish using their available difficulty (or RANDOM, using the available difficulty for NGO) and obtain AA or AAA to proceed to ENCORE EXTRA STAGE afterwards.

During EXTRA STAGE, the LIFE GAUGE is restricted to LIFE4; the number of lives on EXTRA STAGE depend on the score obtained on FINAL STAGE.

Score on FINAL STAGE	Number of lives on EXTRA STAGE
990,000 - 1,000,000	4
975,000 - 989,990	3
962,500 - 974,990	2
