Wedding Crashers

The track led the lineup of new songs in Pump It Up XX and carries over into PHOENIX. SHK reworks Mendelssohn's famous Wedding March into an electronic arrangement. The BGA matches the premise with a small adventure: during the ceremony a dragon abducts the bride, and the groom sets off to rescue her, all rendered in a cute, cartoonish style. The title nods to the movie of the same name.

In PHOENIX the song offers Single 4, 6, 10, 16, 18 and 21, Double 7, 13, 19 and 23, a three-player Co-Op, a Short Cut (S18 / D20) and a Mission Zone exclusive (S17). The S10 is gentle for its level; it hides a fake ↖ note synced to a glass-shattering sound that must be hit together with the following note. The S16 and S21 are stamina charts, with the S21 throwing relentless runs from the highlight onward plus a few ambush long-note jacks.

The top Double is built on weight shifts and staircase runs that force a lot of upper-body movement, making it tougher than it looks. Its author, FEFEMZ*, reportedly first intended to rate it level 21. In its prototype form it was even dubbed one of the "three bosses of D22" alongside Le Grand Rouge and Poseidon, and it was bumped to 23 in PHOENIX. In the Co-Op, 1P and 2P run as a mirrored pair until the dragon appears in the BGA, at which point a third player crashes in.
