Trivia

  • Brain Power originally appeared in KONAMI's arcade game SOUND VOLTEX II -infinite infection-. It was first made available on June 5th, 2013, and was removed on March 28th, 2017.

  • Brain Power was added to maimai MiLK PLUS on July 2nd, 2018.
  • In the maimai series (except Asian English versions), CHUNITHM prior to CHUNITHM NEW, and オンゲキ bright MEMORY, Brain Power's artist is written as ノマ.

    • The maximum theoretical score of its MASTER difficulty is 573000.
    • Obtaining a FULL COMBO on its EXPERT difficulty unlocks a title, "mai騎士". This is a play on "魔騎士" (maxi), the title/rank earned by clearing SKILL ANALYZER Level.09 courses in SOUND VOLTEX.
    • Obtaining a FULL COMBO or ALL PERFECT on its MASTER difficulty unlocks one of two titles, "ULTImai CHAIN" or "PERFECT ULTImai CHAIN", respectively.
