The game was released as an online update, one of the first BEMANI titles to do so. Data carrying over from SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH consists of: player name (changeable), scores, clear marks, unlocked songs and play count of songs. There are now hold notes on short buttons (LONG BT) and non-hold notes on long buttons (CHIP FX). FX hold notes are now orange instead of dark green. The song select screen was redesigned to go from a song wheel to a grid of jackets. The INFINITE difficulty is introduced, similar to DanceDanceRevolution's CHALLENGE difficulty in nature. INFINITE charts have a rainbow hue. PERFECT ULTIMATE CHAIN (getting 100% CRITICALs) has been renamed "PERFECT". Similar to its beatmania IIDX counterpart, the "green number" (BPM x HI-SPEED value) feature has been added. Failing songs with charts that have a difficulty rating of 7 or lower will not end your game session prematurely. Charts rated Level 16 have been introduced. Songs are divided into eight categories: ALL (unsorted). BEMANI (all remixed and original BEMANI songs). EXIT TUNES (EXIT TUNES licenses). ボーカロイド™ (all VOCALOID songs). FLOOR (original FLOOR contest songs). SDVXオリジナル (original SOUND VOLTEX songs). 東方アレンジ (Touhou Project licenses and remixes). BLASTER (related to INFINITE BLASTER).
