Español →An original track by SQUAR that debuted in Pump It Up Fiesta 2 (2013) and remains the composer's only contribution to the series. At 120 to 140 BPM it never feels especially fast, yet its upper charts push into near-boss-song territory thanks to 24-beat bursts and punishing weight shifts.
▸ Origin and versions
Mental Rider arrived as a new original song in Pump It Up Fiesta 2 (2013), written by SQUAR, whose entire involvement with the series comes down to this single track. It started life as a mission-only song alongside Night Duty and Says; the 1.50 patch made it playable in the arcade mode, and the 1.60 patch opened it up for UCS step editing. The BGA by Lyrebird Ferdinant briefly stirred a leak controversy because the on-screen text included the words 'Pump It Up'. As for the name, SQUAR reportedly couldn't settle on a title and asked a fellow composer to christen the song for him.
▸ Chart design
The BPM may be modest, but the higher levels lean on 24-beat bursts that show up even early in the song. S21 opens with a 32-beat tremolo and a 24-beat burst mixed into 16ths, eases off in the middle, then hides a sneaky speed change right where players relax. On the Double side the difficulty climbs sharply: D15 spent years as a genuine level-13 boss song and was only bumped to 15 in PHOENIX, while D20 expands the mission-zone chart into a stamina test that fans regard as a well-crafted 'concept chart'.
▸ The heavy charts
Before XX, D24 was a feared level-23 'landmine.' Its signature is the 24-beat moving trill at 140 BPM that demands stepping and twisting at once; the final hold note once carried a brutally high tick that could kill you even with a full gauge, but PHOENIX turned it into a single note. D22, added in patch 2.05 by AEVILUX, carries the unofficial subtitles 'Teleport Rider' and 'Mental Destroyer.' The designer pitched it as an 'upper-body workout,' originally aimed for D23, and settled on 22 only because the existing D24 already held that ground. It once had exactly 2000 notes, trimmed to 1200 in PHOENIX after its gimmick was removed.
▸ Mission and Quest Zone
In its original mission (QN 049, Single 04 difficulty) the goal was simply to survive to the end against a nonstop wall of bursts, with the occasional awkward diagonal twist dropped in as an all-combo breaker. Prime 2 later added Quest Zone exclusives in patch 1.05.0: the S20 subtitled 'Mental Login' and the D21 'EXC Rider.' The composer, Oh Jun-seok, is also credited with producing the soundtrack for the webtoon 'About Death.'
