Trivia[]
- 888 is one of the hidden unlockable songs on DanceDanceRevolution UNIVERSE 3.
- 888 also appears in DDR II, as a boss song hidden in Replicant D-action. This is 888's only appearance in a DDR game as a boss song.
- 888 is one of the several CS transplants in DanceDanceRevolution X2. It was added on August 1, 2010.
- 888 marks DJ TECHNORCH's first appearance in the DanceDanceRevolution series.
- 888 is considered an evil number in Japanese superstition, much like in the same way 666 is considered the "Devil's number" in Western superstition. This explains why there are demons in 888's album art.
- Despite its name being 888, the song's BPM never goes up to 888 at the end, only up to 444.
- At 753 notes, 888's Single Challenge chart has the second highest notecount of any Single Challenge chart to date (also shared with PARANOiA Revolution's Single Challenge chart), behind Elemental Creation's 860 notes.
- 888's Single Challenge chart is also the first chart to surpass the 700 note mark.
- Since its debut, 888's Challenge charts have retained the highest Stream value of any chart, at 200. Previously, Fascination MAXX from DDR SuperNOVA and PARANOIA survivor MAX from DDR EXTREME held this value of 200 for their Single Challenge and Double Challenge charts, respectively.
- Despite Elemental Creation having 860 notes (more than 888's 753 notes), Elemental Creation has a lower Stream value than 888 (160 vs 200). This is because of Elemental Creation being longer (2:10 vs 1:38).
