Dance Dance Revolution/Awesome

• Probably any time a "boss" song is first passed on its highest available difficulty. Special mention goes to Drop Out (the first 9), the entire MAX series (extra stage, no re-charging life bar), Pluto Relinquish (sudden death mode), and Valkyrie Dimension. (also Sudden Death mode).
• The two marathon world record attempts of note under Guiness World Records rules (must start at beginner, progressing up through the difficulties at various intervals, up to 15 minute break per hour, must pass every song, no bar, no more than 30 seconds between songs):
  • In 2003 on DDR Extreme, racking up 17 hours, until allegedly messing up on MAX 300 of all songs.
  • Then in 2011, Travis Houk went Up to Eleven going not only past both the official 14 hour record and the infamous 17 hour record, but going for forty hours (the official time was 40:02:12 exactly) on DDR X2. Ceremoniously, he saved MAX 300 for the last song, which he did indeed clear. Then, almost intentionally, he went straight to Valkyrie Dimension on Challenge. Which he promptly failed.
