The player starts as a cube, navigating by using green and black orbs. The screen slowly rotates back to normal, and the sequence ends with a yellow pad, followed by a slide transition displaying Camellia's (on the bottom) and Darwin's (on the top) names. | ||
The next sequence is relatively simple but very flashy. The player must hit the orbs indicated by jump indicators, then end the section with four pink dash orbs and two extra green ones, with the last one leading to the next sequence, which continues with cube gameplay as the scenery turns green. The player must navigate through various obstacles indicated with jump indicators, later followed by a green dash orb leading to a short wave section with an orange scenery, decorated with gears. | The next sequence is relatively simple but very flashy.

The background then changes to white, before the text 'BACKBEAT REVENGE' appears, following the song's lyrics | At the end of the wave section, the player becomes a cube again, this time in dual mode.
