Both charts feature dense streams of Tap notes punctuated by extensive Slide sequences, particularly on Master where 122 Slide notes drive a physically demanding layout. The song's level has been revised upward across multiple maimai versions, with the Master chart climbing from its original 11+ rating to its current 13+ designation.
