Overview

マリアをはげませ (Maria wo Hagemase, "Cheer on Maria") is one of the earliest songs added to the maimai arcade rhythm game series, debuting on September 13, 2012 as part of the original maimai launch lineup. The track was composed by Tomoya Otani (大谷智哉) and comes from the Sega-published Nintendo 3DS rhythm adventure game Rhythm Thief R: Emperor Napoleon's Legacy (リズム怪盗R 皇帝ナポレオンの遺産), released earlier in 2012. Like the source game's soundtrack, the piece carries a playful, theatrical energy befitting a story about a dashing phantom thief, bright melodies, a steady 131 BPM march-like pulse, and a cheerful, encouraging tone that matches the title's literal meaning. Over its long life in the maimai series, the song has seen multiple difficulty rebalancings across different versions, a testament to its staying power as a legacy track. Both the Expert (8+) and Master (11+) standard charts carry the signature of notes designer ニャイン (Nyain), whose layouts draw on the song's rhythmic character to create patterns that have been part of the maimai experience for over a decade.

Trivia

マリアをはげませ is one of the oldest songs in the entire maimai series, having been present since the very first version release on September 13, 2012.
The song originates from Rhythm Thief R: Emperor Napoleon's Legacy, a 2012 Nintendo 3DS rhythm game developed and published by Sega. The game featured a soundtrack composed primarily by Tomoya Otani.
Both the Expert and Master difficulty charts were designed by the notes designer ニャイン (Nyain), who has contributed numerous charts across the maimai series.
The song's difficulty levels have been adjusted multiple times across maimai versions. The Master chart originally launched at level 10 in the original maimai, was lowered to 9 in maimai+ through PiNK+, raised back to 10 from MURASAKi onward, then increased further to 11 in Splash and eventually 11+ in UNiVERSE+.
The Expert chart also saw adjustments: originally level 8 in maimai, it was lowered to 7 from maimai+ through PiNK+, then gradually returned to 7+ (DX+) then 8+ (UNiVERSE+) where it remains.
Despite being categorized under ゲーム＆バラエティ (Game & Variety), the song is one of the few crossover tracks from another Sega rhythm game, specifically, a handheld title rather than another arcade rhythm game.
The song's BPM of 131 gives it a moderate, steady tempo that sits comfortably between the slower and faster ends of the maimai tracklist.
