Dancing Stage Max, abbreviated DS Max, and not to be confused with the Japanese and North American DDRMAX sub-series of games, was released on November 25, 2005 by Konami for the European Union. Max features EyeToy support as well as a Dance Master Mode much like its sister releases Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 and Dance Dance Revolution Strike in North America and Japan respectively. Unlike the previously released Dancing Stage Fusion, Dancing Stage Max was not ported to the arcade.

[edit] Notable music
- Paranoia Survivor Max: Consisting mainly of ⅛th notes at 290 beats per minute. Turns, jumps and several major slowdowns often catch players off-guard. The last portion of the song is infamous for its "death runs", four ⅛th note patterns that contain highly complex turns. Both the Heavy and Challenge stepcharts are rated a "flashing 10".
- Sakura: Considered by many players to be the easiest of the 10-footers. The Heavy steps are very simple and do not have the stamina draining ability of the Max series. The main difficulty in Sakura comes from the BPM changes at the middle and end of the song. One step in particular is notoriously difficult to hit. The song selection screen displays 300 beats per minute, though the final section of the song scrolls at 320 beats per minute.
