This map is 9 seconds long and contains 105 notes. This makes it heavily retry spammable and due to how AAA equivalency is a function solely based on difficulty level and raw good count, it makes it relatively easy to end up with a 40-50 AAA equivalency by mashing through the patterns. Also with the short duration of the map, it is more doable to memorize the patterns through frequent repetition, which partially is why even with only 345 unique players on the map over half (176) have a AAA on it and 72% (249 players) have a FC; no other map in the 60's has a FC/AAA ratio close to this. This is partially due to the skill token requirement to unlock this, being to pass Excite Bike [Light] ("https://www.flashflashrevolution.com/levelstats.php?level=286") with a negative raw score, but this skill token in itself is also quite cheese able due to judge offset and the fact that this is also on a 9 second long map, meaning that it's reasonably possible to retry spam until a lucky run occurs.

There is the fact that this map does have a 19 NPS peak at 0:07, but this NPS burst is a hand jack (3 hand placements set 1/4 beat apart from each other), which is relatively easier to hit compared to other similarly dense patterns. The rest of the map is around 15 NPS, which for about a 5-6 second burst of difficulty can be similarly found in a map like TURBO [Tokyo Machine] [Heavy] ("https://www.flashflashrevolution.com/levelstats.php?level=3063") from 2:14 to 2:19. TURBO is a 67, but it's difficulty spike is made up of a dense jump stream pattern which is inherently harder to read and play than what is mostly made up in jacks and trills, not to mention the fact that TURBO has almost 13 times more notes and the parts leading up to and after the diff spike have some challenge.
