Lore & Background
The Extra Stage system was changed: the player must obtain a performance grade of AA or AAA from the First Stage to a Final Stage to reach Extra Stage. The special song in Extra Stage is KIMONO PRINCESS. To access Encore Extra Stage, the player needs AA or better on KIMONO PRINCESS on Expert during Extra Stage; the song is Roppongi EVOLVED on Expert. Replicant D-Action allows players to earn medals on six songs; earning all six accesses the special Encore Extra Stage, Valkyrie dimension on Expert.
