100 solves, baby! Woohoo, let's go! Regardless that a name like 'Dead End' implies, this is not the end of my time playing challenge bombs. I'm happy and grateful that Dan, Miki, and I are a great team.
This is a bomb I made for Halloween 2021 and my second instance of mission-specific gimmicks, after 100 Levels of Defusal. I made this bomb before Mission Control existed so I hid code in 100LoD. Since then, I migrated it to Mission Control. I wanted this bomb to be somewhat frustratingly tricky but still rewarding. I'm pretty happy with it and I'm glad I chose it to be my 100th solve.

![DDR MAX2 [JP CS] - ULTRA12 Oni Course](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e7bitAogNuQ/mqdefault.jpg "DDR MAX2 [JP CS] - ULTRA12 Oni Course
Ah, DDR MAX2. The first DDR mix I ever played and the one Im the most nostalgic for. Konami also realized their mistakes they made with the MAX US courses and actually made them make sense (kinda). ULTRA12 is the first course in this series that Ive ever attempted, but it took the longest out of all of them to get.
So, unlike the arcade version of MAX2 with 鬼道, ULTRA12 has a mix of Expert and Challenge charts instead of just Expert charts. MAX2 made some Challenge-only remixes of some songs that are usually easier than the Expert counterpart, so Im not sure what the point of that was. In this course, the Challenge charts are honestly pretty boring but annoying since you cant unlock them to practice until you complete them in an Oni course. Thats made harder since a handful of them are exclusive to this course. On the other hand, the Expert charts are quite fun to play, so the course doesnt suffer too much because of that.
This course took me so long to get. The major kicker was Maxx Unlimited. That song is the bane of my existence, particularly with the outro. I completed this course 8 months ago, and to this day I have never FCd Maxx Unlimited (I have tech FCd it, though). Tsugaru and Kakumei are fun charts, and Paranoia Survivor is actually one of my favorite boss songs. This was actually my first time ever getting to Paranoia Survivor in one of these attempts, so Im very glad I did as well as I did.
I failed so many times in Maxx Unlimited that I made an entire video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEhAY7mvxR8
