Overview

"Rooftop Run: Act1" is a techno-flavored stage theme composed by Tomoya Ohtani for Sonic Generations (2012), where it accompanies the Rooftop Run level played in the game's Classic Sonic style. The track is itself an energetic remix of "Rooftop Run," the stage theme from Sonic Unleashed (2008), reimagined with a brighter electronic arrangement to suit the nostalgic tone of Sonic Generations' classic-era stages. The song was among the earliest third-party (SEGA) crossover inclusions in the original maimai arcade release, arriving on November 7, 2012. Its in-game genre classification has changed several times across maimai versions, starting as GAME/ANIME, shifting to GAME, then SEGA, briefly ORIGINAL during the early でらっくす era, and finally settling into GAME & VARIETY, a history that reflects the game's own evolving taxonomy. The background video that plays during the chart is actual gameplay footage from the Orange Roofs Act 1 stage in Sonic Generations. All five Standard charts (Basic through Re:Master) are available across JP, international, USA, and CN region releases. The Basic chart is notable as the only non-deleted chart in the current maimai lineup to contain zero Slide notes, a relic of its original design from maimai's earliest days.
