Campanella

Campanella arrived in Pump It Up 2015 PRIME through the 1.19.0 update. It is Cashew's remake of Franz Liszt's La Campanella; Cashew was also the artist behind Red Snow. Despite being built on a widely loved classical work, the song stayed relatively under the radar with the series' audience and never gained the same affection as some other classical adaptations in the catalog.

The BGA is the work of MiLa, who together with YSJ produced much of the Prime era's background animation. Set during World War II, it features soldiers, tanks, and bombers, but it comes across as fairly flat. Where the similarly war-themed Turkish March BGA won praise for its vivid, vintage-photo atmosphere, Campanella's felt generic. In July 2016, a 1.19.0 preview video showed imagery of Adolf Hitler and a swastika, which sparked controversy. Andamiro pulled the video and, in the final release, swapped those elements for a plain black flag, though a logo on a soldier's helmet still raised eyebrows.

On PHOENIX, Campanella offers Single charts at S4, S6, S10, and S16, plus Double D12 and D17 and a two-player Co-op; step makers include SUNNY, EXC, and AIRASTOGI. The S4 was added in XX 2.05. On S10, watch for scattered 12th-note bursts and the three-note finish, while S16 throws in a one-foot double-note section and overlapping steps. The D17 opens with 8th-note trills feeding into side-to-side runs, builds into half-focused 8th-note streams, then springs a hard-to-read one-foot two-note pattern before closing on a knotty twist that many players resolve by sliding from the center rather than stepping it cleanly. The Co-op is a fine entry point: no tangles, no tricks, nothing to confuse a newcomer.
