[The advantage of being a machine built for speed is that you are able to process things very quickly. While DDR in general - particularly with the hardest damn song - would be overwhelming for most people coming at it for the first time, Neo handles it quite well. In fact, his combo is perfect... up until the sudden drop in speed. It takes him a moment to catch onto what's happening and then he recovers quickly. Unfortunately, those sudden changes in speed are quite frequent in Pluto Relinquish hell, and Neo's score is absolutely suffering as a result. He's not at risk of failing either, but he is definitely lagging behind Sonic.
...He's also noticed his boyfriend is keeping an eye on him, so as the song comes to a close, he lands the final notes and then slips on the last one, purposefully losing his (otherwise very easily maintained) balance just so that Sonic will have to catch him. He's thankfully much lighter in this form, so the weight shouldn't be a problem for Sonic at all. If his boyfriend wants to worry over him, then who would Neo be to say no?? After all, this is a calculated move to distract from his loss.
And okay, sure, maybe he just wants his boyfriend to look out for him, shut up.]
