In Extreme, the background video has a part where it reads "18 spikes, 18 pains" right at the first of many infamous untelegraphed jolts from a stop that the MAX songs are known for. This is a hint to count to 18 as soon as it comes to a halt, at 300bpm, because as soon as you hit 18, that's when it takes off, again.
@@Cronoistight I'm no expert at this game, but if DSP counts, then that wouldn't be wrong. I can almost FC it, if it isn't for the final rush at the end.
Fastest song I ever took on and passed by the skin of my teeth. My brother saw me struggling to catch my breath afterwards and offered to finish my round - I told him I was going to finish my round or die trying.
I remember when I first beat this song. I was so proud. I never pushed myself beyond them though. Once I beat 300/Unlimited/Legend of I felt like my ddr journey was completed.
After watching Rinny’s video on NAOKI, we all found out that: This song is actually made by the same guy who collaborated with Tatsh for the infamous meme song Red Zone. Omega is one of his hundreds of aliases. The reason apparently had to do with a rather weird taboo involving crediting a song using a musician’s real name. (Both partially and full counts towards it) In fact, practically all of the songs he has made has a different alias tied to them.
I played the wrong song in stepmania pack known as the "Pack MAX" and got a screamer in mid song. LMAO assholes!! EDIT: If you downloaded max pack and are wondering which song I am talking about. When you see "Max 300 club remix", it should be right next to it to the right side if you have the cyberiastyle theme. If you have other themes then it should be below "Max 300 [Miss Remix] Dj Dark feat. Omega" The song looks and plays normal and it only has one difficulty until you reach the double arrows a scary screamer appears. I literately shat my pants when it happend XD.
I actually requested him to play it, and I told him about the "count to 18" trick, because he never nails thw part after the hold, and he nailed it. He never uploaded him doing MAX 300, though.
Probably because it was the "definitive" hard song of DDR when a lot of us played in the early 2000s. If you go by the modern difficulty system of 1 to 19. It's a 15 in an era where all but a few of the other tough songs topped out at 13. PSMO is tougher, but it wasn't as available or played as much. And personal opinion, it's probably the last time when a relatively healthy person could have a shot at beating it without giving up years of their life and absolutely requiring the bar. I use the bar to play singles, but the fact that the hardest songs these days effectively mandate it means that you have to spend quite a long while honing your movements to the point where you are a human metronome. Go look at anyone clearing this and clearing Endymion, MAX 360, or EGOISM 440 and just notice how ridiculous it looks at times despite the sheer level of skill involved. Also, it's from when Konami might have actually cared what the West wanted. The games give zero craps about what anyone outside of Japan wants anymore and despite the vast majority of top players still being American, Konami really only bothers with what the Japanese base wants.
The most Bad Ass song On DDR I would play this song Every time. At the bowling alley that my dad used to work they Took it out tho :/ Id be showing of People Only on easy tho lol Id fail on heavy and standard haha gyodai Funny :D
MAX 300 can you catch up to the steps? its a challenge that cant be beat unless you beat it completly w/o missing the steps the challenge is set by MAX 300
These are the kind of stories that fill the oldheads with hope and vigor. Congrats on your journey from the bottom to the top; You've earned it, and remember no one can take that away from you.
It was produced in-house by Konami for DDR, and Konami never released an OST or put the songs on streaming services. Unfortunately, there's no above-board way to get the song. I'm normally anti-piracy, but no one is going to lose anything if you find someplace to download this song :P
just a heads up you will never find anything Bemani-related on those services, at least in the west. they are very strict on keeping any and all of their products region-locked to Japan and thats why bemani gets a lot of hate from the west edit: 1 year later and I phrased this poorly. I meant that us westerners hold contempt for their ass backward practices
I actually believe it. There's a guy at my arcade who has a pot belly but absolutely trashes 16s and 17s. I can survive a 15 if I thrash around hard enough. If anything, actual muscles with no fat make it worse. That's a lot of mass you have to chuck around that require a crap ton of energy. There's a reason why everyone who is good who isn't doing some sort of Chris4Life training regimen is a twig or skinny fat.
This song was the death of DDR to me. Once people had to hold onto bars just to beat songs it lost all its spirit and lost its crowds. It became a tryhard spectacle instead of a rhythm stage. This eventually lead to the points and perfects meant everything crowd, and a song wasn't good if you didn't have to hold onto crutches to dance. Bar wasn't put there for that reason, but it was coopted, and DDRiver Dancing was born. All a kid had to see was two bar holding try hards trying to play this song to just skip the wait and play some Metal Slug instead. That didn't happen spinning to Silent Hill, or sliding to Era, pop and locking on Trip Machine Luv Mix, ragdolling to Drop Out, or all your friends singing along with Captain Jack because we all knew the words. That made someone want to play, because maybe one day they too could show us their moves. Because there were moves. It looked fun. This song is not that. Its antiDDR, and I wish they had never put it in and ruined every possible 9 footer converted to a 10 because this song pushed players beyond where the game ever expected of them. Where ego and technique stood above music and feeling. Where the score replaced the heart... And it wasn't even actually 300bpm... *lol* Oh well, good times. I hope you never forget them.
If you think playing without bars already died, it never did. I've played without bars before and it's a different challenge to a speed player like me. It's better this way for the game itself, since now we have the Kinect dance games which makes you actually dance instead of just simply stepping on the pads. Also, in Japan, there's a game called Dance Rush Stardom, which is a mix between the older style DDR gameplay and actual dancing, since you still got to step on certain pads while also jumping and sliding your way to victory.
And also, the crowd is now bigger than before in the speed category. DDR won't live if it stayed being a dance game rather than a stepping rhythm game. Guess even DanceDanceRevolution needs a revolution anyway.
After all this time, Max 300 on Heavy still marks a player's graduation from casual to serious rhythm gaming.

So cool! Thanks for sharing!
The mark of a player who has dissected this song seven ways from Sunday, and finally returned to the cab to establish this song as their bitch.
@@Cronoistight I'm no expert at this game, but if DSP counts, then that wouldn't be wrong. I can almost FC it, if it isn't for the final rush at the end.
or just count to 10 at 150 BPM. much easier.
"count to 18 as soon as it comes to a halt, at 300bpm"
sounds easy
"300" is a reference to what happens to your heartrate when you play this on the highest difficulty.
The Heavy stepchart def seperated the men from the boys back in the day
Lol right my guy
Fastest song I ever took on and passed by the skin of my teeth. My brother saw me struggling to catch my breath afterwards and offered to finish my round - I told him I was going to finish my round or die trying.
THE ULTIMATE ROAD TO THE TARGET HEART RATE.
I remember beating this on Heavy for the first time at the local mall.
On a neutral cab?
Muscle memory is a funny thing... all I did was listen to this song and now my legs are sore
Tbh I never played ddr or any game that has MAX 300 in it. I'm just here to pay my respects to the GOAT
MAX301 is arrived by EZ2ON REBOOT:R!!!!!!!
If you danced through this as a kid then congrats, you just completed hardstyle rookie training 😄
I was addicted to DDR, my greatest accomplishment in this game was to PFC this song in Heavy difficulty. It took me like a year or two
I also PFC'd The Legend of MAX
MAX 300 = Extra Stage
CANDY⭐ = Encore Extra Stage
That feeling when you finally beat this...
one of my favorite songs of all time
Twelve years ago, 300 was the BPM of this, my greatest DDR achievement. Now, 300 is my weight in pounds. 😔
Unbelievable how no one has passed this song to this day
Tons of people have already lol

Iconic song. VERY ICONIC 300!
Fun fact: the pause in the song is 18 beats, relating to the 18 spikes and pains

Someone ought to present The8BitDrummer with the challenge of playing this on his Twitch stream.
He hasn’t done it so...
@@Sam_Hue Actually he's done MAX 300 probably a dozen or so times on his stream that I can think of! Been watching Jerod since 2015.
