Trivia[]

TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION was first playable as a special FINAL STAGE song on Normal difficulty in DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX's 2ndMIX mode starting from June 20, 2012. Another new song was:
- PARANOiA Revolution, accessible on Hard difficulty.
- Both songs became EXTRA STAGE songs on X3 mode on August 2, 2012, as part of the CROSSOVER DDR event, at EXTRA STAGE Level 6. They became fully unlocked on November 5, 2012, along with all other CROSSOVER DDR songs, including Tohoku EVOLVED.
TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION's Expert rating on 2ndMIX mode is a 9, and it is named EVOLUTIONARY, in reference to TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION's song title.
- However, there were no charts with a 9-footer rating during DDR 2ndMIX's time, and DDR 3rdMIX introduced 9-footers. 9-footers in DDR 3rdMIX were given the title of CATASTROPHIC.
During the beginning of the song, TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION's Single Challenge chart borrows from SP-TRIP MACHINE~JUNGLE MIX~'s Single Expert chart, as well as TRIP MACHINE's Single Expert chart.
During the Final Round of the KONAMI Arcade Championship 2012 event, it was revealed that DE-JAVU is indeed dj TAKA.
TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION marks dj TAKA's first boss song on the DDR series that is not a collaboration of two artists.
TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION also marks the first non-crossover dj TAKA song in DDR with its Challenge chart being rated Level 18 on the 1-20 scale.
The last three stops in TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION cause the rest of the song's regular quarter notes to fall on blue notes instead. As such, even the Beginner chart has a Chaos value.
TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION's BPM is displayed as 190. It actually runs at 95-380.
- This makes TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION the fastest of all TRIP MACHINE songs, at 380 (or 190).
TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION was a Final Round song in the KONAMI Arcade Championship 2012 event for DDR X3 VS 2ndMIX, along with PARANOIA survivor MAX, Pluto Relinquish, and Tohoku EVOLVED.
- Like with PARANOIA survivor MAX, TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION's Challenge chart was used.
As with all other 2ndMIX mode songs, TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION's 2ndMIX mode background video is shown on a stage, specifically the dark blue one used by VANESSA and Leaving....
- As of DDR 2013, TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION's background video is now displayed fullscreen. This is to avoid the crashing problem that all other songs with on-stage background movies would later suffer from.
