There are numerous side slicers in this map, so keep the space around you clear to avoid knocking things over in the real world. With only 18 obstacles to dodge, your main focus is where it needs to be: on those pesky blocks.

The start of the track is rough; the blocks fly towards you at an unbelievable speed and there's no intention of them slowing down. The middle-eight towards the final drop in the song is by far the toughest part - purely due to how much your arms are probably burning at this point. Still, think of the workout you're getting as you play.

It's common for this map to change block placement regularly, so be wary of where you'd usually strike. Both Sky Blu and Redfoo's first verses are undoubtedly the challenge here, but towards the end of Lauren Bennett's verse, it's walls and bombs galore.

Drumming towards the drop of the track is far more challenging than when it arrives. It's almost obscene how many notes fly towards you at once. The main focus during the drop is taking as many breaths as you can and avoiding obstacles.

This beatmap is obstacle heavy: there are 162, in fact. Your sabers will practically transform into drumsticks as you slice to the beat. Chester offers a few moments of respite as he delicately sings the opening bars, so utilize them wisely.

The block count may not appear that daunting, but this is the most obstacle-filled track. With an eye-watering 360 walls to dodge and 92 bombs wanting to ruin your chances for that top score, it's crucial that you're ready to get out of the way when the timer hits 3:52. When RM wishes you 'Good Luck,' make sure you take notice: you'll need it in those final 90 seconds.

Around two minutes in, make sure to enjoy every wall, as these sections are almost beat free. As the main melody picks up, heading towards that drop gets a little treacherous. Thankfully, it builds, so you're able to at least keep up to begin with.

You're faced with almost 9 blocks per second in this Beat Saber battle royale. Different DnB drops get thrown at you to hack at, yet on the lead up to said drops, it's chaos. If you can get through this, you can get through anything life throws at you.
