The 360-easy version of Monkey Wrench has 68 (or 69) extra base points as compared to the PS2 version (confirmed by proven cutoffs). These points are all from the first note of the song, a red hold that has been added into the 360 version (the cutoffs indicate a 68 point difference, but the actual note when played yields 69 points).

This should open the possibility to a higher score than that possible on PS2. Extra points are also gained in the promotion of three notes to higher multipliers (each adding 50 points).

69 + 50 + 50 + 50 = 219 extra points should be possible.
