All I Want For X-mas

The song first appeared in Pump It Up Perfect Collection, where it shipped side by side with Rolling Christmas. The two share a festive mood but take very different approaches: Rolling Christmas is a medley that remixes well-known carols, whereas "All I Want For X-mas" is an original dance track with Christmas-themed lyrics and no ties to any traditional melody. Despite the title, it has no connection to the famous "All I Want for Christmas Is You." At 130 BPM it keeps a comfortable, danceable groove.

Because it launched paired with Rolling Christmas, many players assumed it would be another carol remix and picked it expecting something familiar; instead they were met with an unfamiliar dance tune, which left more than a few puzzled. As a result it never matched the popularity of its companion. Even so, the song itself earned decent reviews, which is likely why it has rarely been cut from the songlist and ranks among the series' longest-surviving tracks, carried from the Original channel all the way through Zero.

In PHOENIX the song offers Single charts at levels 3, 5, 9, 15 and 17, plus Double charts at 8, 16 and 18. Several charts have shifted over time: the S5 (formerly S6) was lowered to 5 in PHOENIX, the S9 was originally a level 11 and dropped two steps in the XX difficulty rebalance, and the D8 was bumped up from 7 to 8 in PHOENIX. The toughest charts, S15, S17, D16 and D18, are the work of Sunny and were added in the PHOENIX 2.12.0 update, a remarkable twenty-five years after the song first released.
