Extravaganza is a BanYa staple that debuted as a hidden song in Pump It Up The 2nd Dance Floor and served as that version's arcade final boss song. Its title, suggesting a dazzling spectacle, fits a fast 195 BPM track paired with a dizzyingly spinning BGA. Alongside Ignition Starts! and Hypnosis, it forms a small family of speed-change songs that share the signature black-hole effect in their background animations.

Origins and production
Extravaganza first surfaced as a hidden song in Pump It Up The 2nd Dance Floor and stood as the arcade final boss song of that version. Unusually for BanYa's output, it was not written by group leader Gun but composed by Yahpp, which makes it the odd one out within the BanYa Remix 3-7 repackage. Its most recognizable stretch is built around a sample of Daft Punk's 'Burnin'' sped up to 1.5x, so a short voice clip tied to that track plays right before the famous twist section. The song is also notable for having its BGA replaced three separate times, and Pump It Up 3rd reworked its middle passage with an added guitar cover; the audio source then bounced back and forth between editions over the years. The whirling BGA is harsh enough that BGA DARK is the recommended way to play.
Charts and difficulty
The chart that made Extravaganza famous is today's S11, the old Hard from 3rd O.B.G (summer 2000), notorious for the 225-degree twist patterns that broke countless players; clearing it in PHOENIX awards the Boss breaker title. S13, the former Crazy, is a remarkably long-lived chart that has essentially never been removed. The newer Another charts, S19 and S22, ramp up trills, bursts and twists and close on a rotating freeze-note finale designed to spin the player around the pad. Double mode offers D15, D18 and D21, while the Short Cut charts (S16 and D16) stand out for filling the stage with twelfth-note twists. The quest zone later added a Double 24 chart subtitled Osingtravaganza.
Trivia
As far harder songs arrived, Extravaganza lost some of its standing as a boss song, but its Another charts restored its relevance, jumping several levels above the classic versions. The North American edition of Infinity included Extravaganza Reborn, a Wavelength remix, which did not carry over to Fiesta 2 or later releases. Because it debuted later than Ignition Starts! and Hypnosis, it is often described as the 'younger cousin' of that trio of speed-change tracks.
