Dancing Mode is the part of main part of the game where youactually dance and compete against the other dancers to showoff your moves.
There are several different ways to competewhich are outlined here.
- Free Mode:
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
In Free Mode you choose your player, the player that thecomputer uses (unless Player 2 is in the action), and the stage to compete at.
The move lists are off and the two of you go at it to see who's got the best moves.
After the match you can choose to retry, to exit back to the Dancing Mode select screen, or to change CDs.
See Part 2 of the FAQ for more details on switching CDs.
- Trace Mode:
In Trace Mode you choose your player, the player that thecomputer uses (unless Player 2 is in the action), and the stage to compete at.
At the bottom of the screen the computer tells youwhich move to do and you do it properly to the beat. This modeis a little less fun once you really get good at the game but it'sa good place to practice and to learn some moves to string togetherfor the harder modes.
After the match you again can choose to retry,to exit back to the Dancing Mode select screen, of to change CDs.Again, see Part 2 of the FAQ for more details on switching CDs.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Practice Mode:
Choose your character and the stage to practice at. A fun littlechart appears showing you all of the moves that you can currentlydo. Okay, you can do other moves but it'll screw up your flow andthat's not a good thing to do.
Read Part 2 of the FAQ to know whatI'm talking about. Just do one of the moves on the list then thelist will change to show you what moves you can follow up the currentmove with that will keep your flow and keep you from losing any ofyour groove bar in the other modes.
After reading Part 2 you'll mostlikely want to come to Practice Mode to experiment and learn somestrings of moves to use in Challenge Mode or Free Mode. After yourtime is up you'll be able to retry or exit back to the Dancing Modeselect screen.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Challenge Mode:
Here's the fun mode (unless you're doing two player Free Mode whichof course is also tons of fun ^_^) where you choose a character andcompete against the other basic characters with the move lists off.The opponents become increasingly more and more difficult as youprogress.
After defeating them all you'll go up against a hiddencharacter (depending on which character you are) and after defeatingthe hidden character you can use them in any of the other DancingModes.
You can save the hidden characters to the memory card as well.For more info on the hidden characters see Part 4 of the FAQ.
1.2 - Story Mode:
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
In this mode you fill the shoes of young ? (Hitomi's sister) and goon a bizarre quest. For more info on Story Mode see Part 3 of the FAQ.
1.3 - Options:
- Level:
Easy, normal, or hard. Self explanatory.
- Counter: More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
Beat makes the gauge at the top countdown 1 per every four beat cycle.Time makes the gauge at the top countdown every second.
The BeatCounter is easier to use because you can use it to help you hit yourmoves correctly to the beat and who really cares how much time is leftwhen you can see how many more moves you can pull off instead?
- Sound:
Stereo or Mono, pretty self explanatory.
- Sound Effect:
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
On or off. You wanna hear noises when your character does their thingon the dance floor (or whatever they may be standing upon)? Pick yes.To concentrate on the music then pick no. I prefer yes myself.
- Vibration:
On or off. Only matters if you've got a Dual Shock or other vibratingcontroller in the first place. The controller vibrates every 4 beatcycle (the same time as the Beat Counter goes down). Again, thishelps you feel the beat in the song easier and recover from mistakes.
- Memory Card:
Load and save. I think you guys can ponder on this one.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
2) HOW TO PLAY
2.1 - The basic concept
Okay, the concept of this game is to make your person dance in abetter manner than your opponent does. To make your person dance, youpress a combination of the d-pad and one of the four face buttons onthe controller.
In doing so, your person will do a move that lastsfor four beats of the song. The quicker the beat of the song, the faster your character does their move. After the move, you again pressa combination of d-pad and button to launch your character into anothermove.
You can press the buttons a little before or after the 4th beatand still do another move but your Rhythm score won't be as high (moreon that later).
If the move that you do is a proper follow up to theprevious move then your groove bar at the bottom of the screen goesup and your opponent's groove bar does down.
Thus you want to try tolink together moves that follow one another to do a big chain of movesthat'll raise your groove bar all the way and allow you to pull offSpecial moves.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
Sounds complicated doesn't it? Fear not, for now I'llmake all of this gibberish make sense. ^_^
2.2 - Putting it all together
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
The easiest way for me to teach you how to do this is to run you throughthe Practice Mode with a character. I'll choose Coco cause she's hot. ^_^
Okay, once you're in Practice Mode choose Coco and a stage with slow music. I recommend Texas but I suppose it's your call. The first thingyou'll see is Coco standing on the left with three boxes to your right.
One has an X, one has an O, and one has a Triangle (to be called T fromnow on. Square is S). You'll notice that every four beats the boxes willflash.
Again, this is to help you with the rhythm. Now press the Tbutton roughly when the boxes flash. Coco will start wiggling and movingdown towards the ground.
Ignore that (I know you don't wanna ^_^) andyou'll notice that there are now four boxes with a box with S in it hasbeen added. On the fourth beat hit the S button.
If you timed it right then Coco starts gyrating her hips and you'll be back to three boxesagain. Now here's the deal.
You now know that if you start off with theT button then the next turn you can press any of the four face buttonsto do the next step and your two moves will flow together.
Mess arounda little bit to get used to the timing and remember that the game showsyou all available moves that can flow from the current move. Go aheadand screw around till the timer runs out.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
You might notice that sometimesthe box will have a direction and a button in it. This means you haveto push both at the same time on the fourth beat. Keep retrying a fewtimes till you get the hang of hitting the buttons on the proper beat andstuff like that.
If the suddenly hear "Feels go good!" don't freak out.It just means you pushed the button exactly on the fourth beat. That'sa good thing. ^_^
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
Okay, retry and this time do the following sequence on each fourth beat:T, S, O, X, T. If you've done everything right you'll see six boxes toyour right.
This little five string you've just done is a very simplelittle flow of moves that you can use in Challenge Mode when the movelist is off that'll cause your bar to increase each time.
Practice Modeis the easiest place to learn long strings of moves that you can do inChallenge Mode to keep your moves flowing together and keep your barrising.
I've listed some easier ones for all of the dance styles laterin the FAQ.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
Okay, retry again and this time ignore what the screen says and attemptto do the following: U-U+O (U is Up, D is Down, L is Left, R is Right).
For a sequence with more than one direction is it, push the first onethen immediately push the second one and the button at the same time.
The timing is tricky so it'll probably take you a while to do it. Ifyou miss then allow your character to stop dancing and try again.
Ifyou do it correctly you'll a gold box with a T in it. Any gold boxrepresents a Special move combo. In Challenge Mode you can only launchinto a Special combo when your groove bar is flashing.
When the baris flashing you can launch into the Special move combo by doing thefirst command while your character is not dancing or after certainmoves.
The only ones I can seem to start a combo after are movesinvolving the X button but maybe that's just me. I usually do R+X thenlaunch into the Special. The commands for the Special depend on thedance style and I've listed all of the Specials later in the FAQ.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
Now hopefully this all makes sense and if it doesn't then please emailme and tell me where you get lost at (email at sailor_bacon@hotmail.com)so that I can clear up the confusion and reword that part of the FAQso it doesn't confuse anyone else.
2.3 - Scoring system
In Free Mode, Challenge Mode, or Trace Mode you and your opponent arescored in five different categories after your dance. Here's a list ofthe categories and what you should do to get higher scored in them:
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Variation:
How much variety went into your dance? Did you just do the same stringsover and over again? Pull off as many different moves as possible to getthe highest score in this category.
- Rhythm:
How well do you push the button corresponding to the fourth beat? The morecheers you get from the announcer the more you know you're doing well inthis category.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Combo:
How many moves can you pull off without missing? The more you do, the higherthe score. I think only the highest combo influences this score but I couldbe wrong..
- Graceful:
How well do your moves flow together? Hopefully you've learned from the previous section to experiment with moves that flow together using PracticeMode to get a higher score here. Or at least you're using some of the stringsI've put together for you below..
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Faultless:
How often do you miss? The fewer misses the higher the score here. Nuff said.
Note: Even if you lose four out of the five categories remember that the winneris the one with the most total points, not the one who wins the most individualcategories.
So if you barely lose four categories but absolutely blow them awayin the fifth category then you will win. I'm not sure exactly how Specials figureinto the mix but you need to do them as often as possible.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
2.4 - Sample strings
Here are some simple yet good strings you can pull in Challenge or Free Mode to keep your meter rising and to boost your Graceful score. Switch betweenthem and sneak in a Special whenever you fill up your meter for the bestresults.
Also, throw your own stuff into the mix. Again, Practice Mode isthe best place to learn strings to blow away the competition.

2.5 - Special combos
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
Here is where you get to pull off the really awesome looking moves! ^_^The Specials can only be done when your groove meter is flashing andonly while you're standing still or after certain dance steps (R+X worksthe best for me and that's the one I recommend).
So when the bar startsto flash, stop your flow of moves and do R+X for the next move and afterthat launch into your Special combo.
Learn to time it to where you canimmediately continue dancing after the Special combo freeze so you cankeep your combo string running.

2.6 - Swapping CDs
I couldn't figure out where else to mention this so I put it here. Afteryou finish a dance in Free Mode or Trace Mode (or if you just press Startduring the match) you have the option to CD Change. More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
When you select thisyou'll see the words "Please Set Music CD". This is when you open the PSXlid, remove the game, put in the CD of your choice and close the lid. Youshould see the words "Please Wait" while the PSX attempts to read your CD.
It shouldn't take long and if it does that means the PSX is having troublewith your CD. Don't worry about it too much. Just open the lid again.
You'll see the words "Disc Error". Close the lid again and "Please Wait"reappears. If problems persist then I highly recommend you open the PSXlid and turn the system upside down (yes, upside down).
Carefully closethe lid as you put the system into place upside down. This usually helpsthe process along but I still can't guarantee anything.. the game justreally hates some CDs for some reason.. when you luck out you'll see"Please Set Music CD" again.
Say okay and a CD player-looking thingieappears on the screen, allowing you to choose between the tracks of yourCD and lets you listen to them to make sure you're selecting the correctone. You can fast forward and rewind in the song too.
When you find thecorrect track then choose Dance to dance to your selected song. Choose Exit if you change your mind.
This is a fun novelty to the game for awhile cause the game usually does a good job finding the beats in thesongs. Plus it's just strangely fun to put in the Dance Dance RevolutionCD and dance to Paranoia for some reason.
^_^ Make sure to pick a songwith a constant fourth beat or else it's gonna be hard to play to. Whenyou're done with the dance choose Exit and put the game back into thePSX and carry on with life.
3) STORY MODE
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
3.1 - The Beginning
First, the plot scrolls across the screen. Too bad I have no idea whatit's saying.. anyone who is fluent in Japanese who'd like to help me outwith the plot of this mode would make me very happy.
A guy walks out of a car and enters a building. Inside is a blue hairedguy named Asuka. In walks the man, known as Hisho, or secretary.
He tellshis Boss something about the Blood Way (I think..) and the New York branch. Asuka responds with "10 years."
Hisho seems confused (aren't weall? ^_^) and Asuka explains that from now on 10 years is enough time tofulfill what they wanna do.
Hisho now seems to understand (too bad wedon't) and Asuka yells something at him and he leaves. Then "Kage no Shirei" (Shadow Commander) appears.
They converse and Kage no Shireiproceeds to say how he's the Nihon no Dance Master (Dance Master ofJapan) and seems to bother Asuka.
Now anyone who can read Japanese who wants to actually make this plotmake sense please email me!
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
Anyways, you begin in control of Subaru. She is a 16 year old girl with B blood type if you really wanted to know.
3.2 - Controls
-> T Button: Brings up the menu where you can select the following:
-> Status: Shows your stats and your strength in three categories:
-> NORINORI!: If I'm not mistaken, this is the "sound" of dancing. Japanese has several words that portray the "sound" of something.Anyways, this affects how much the groove bar shifts in yourfavor as you get your groove on.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
-> Rhythm!: Your rhythm ability. Affects how much time you have toput in the moves and not screw up.
-> Lucky!: How lucky you are. Affects how quickly you get up afterfalling down.
-> Item: What items you're currently holding.
-> Command: What commands you've learned.
-> Save: Save your game.
-> O Button: Talk to people, do stuff in general.
-> X Button: Hold it down to run. Cancels out of menus.
-> S Button: Nothing.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
-> Start Button: Choose to end Story Mode
->Select Button: Nothing.
3.3 - Walkthrough
Okay, here goes nothing. I again don't know what's going on but here'swhat you need to do to advance in Story Mode.
-----Japan-----
- Leave the dance school and head left (I'm using the direction of thescreen for maximum ease for this walkthrough) to the park area.
Enter thepark area and go up the steps on the left and walk up to the phone boothand press the O button. You'll pick up a cell phone and learn the "SummerBlizzard (2)" command (D-D+T, O, T, S, X).
- Walk immediately down from the phone booth and press the O button whilepressing against the top of the octopus slide thingy to get a Hitomi tradingcard.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Walk down and talk to the kid in the purplish outfit in the park area.He's a male dancer. You'll talk for a bit and he'll mention the WorldDance Company, or WDC for short.
He'll mention a police guard that standsin front of the building. The dancer tells you the WDC is a school tolearn Hiphop dancing and other stuff.
- Leave the area and take the street to the left and then go up at the first intersection.
Then go left at the next intersection and go talk tothe cop in front of the WDC building twice. You're denied entrance.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Go back to the dance school and go to the right entrance to meet Mai. Talk to her and after the conversation walk back in again. This time you'll discuss the WDC.
- Go to the left entrance and talk to the boy. You'll be interrupted by awoman named Sophia. She'll get you pissed and you ask who she is (callingher an old woman in the process).
She calls your father a murderer and thenproceeds to wow you with her "sugoi" dance steps. She then corrects youand explains that she not "obasan" but rather Sophia "oneesan", which means she's your older sister. She again angers you and you storm out. She seemsupset as you leave..
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Walk right back in to again talk to the boy who gives you a Pokopon dollwhich causes your NORINORI! to go down 4 but your Rhythm! to go up 12.
- Go back to the park to find Sophia there. She'll give you a pass to getinto the WDC.
- Go to the dance school left entrance and talk to Mai again. You'll learn the Autumn Flame technique (U-U+O, T, S, X).
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Go to the Smile building to the left of the park area (the one with the dorky orange face on it) and you'll steal a Pocket Camera.
You thief! Now due to your five-finger discounted Camera your NORINORI! goes up by 16 points and yourRhythm! goes down 4 points.
- Show the cop the WDC pass and go on in. Talk to the unimportant blondeguy then meet your teacher. It's Hitomi. Talk to her for a bit and praiseher greatness then leave.
- Go back and tell Mai all about your fun experience and how great Hitomi is.
- Talk to the blue-haired kid who hangs out near the park area till he repeatshimself.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
If you talked to the right kid then when you go back to the WDC building and walk along the right side you should find a little covert area where you'llmeet up with Hitomi again. She does sugoi dance techniques and impresses you.
You talk for a while and seem to get mad at each other. I think Hitomi challengesyou here but I'm not sure. Afterwards everyone's hero Kage no Shirei makes anappearance.
- Now when you go talk to Sophia you get to practice dancing which I recommendyou do to find a few easy strings of flowing moves to use for the dance againstHitomi.
Remember that you can't pull off a Special combo if you haven't learnedit yet.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Go to the temple (down from the park area) to meet a neighborhood Miko-san (shrine maiden) and she'll give you a Shinto stick thingy that'll learn youthe "Summer Blizzard (1)" command (U-U+T, O, T, S, X).
- While you're there feel free to search to the left of the statue thingy on theleft to get a model of Tokyo Tower that makes your Lucky! go up by 12.
- Go back to the covert area and the unimportant blonde guy tells you Hitomiisn't around.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Go to the Smile building and talk to the guy there and he'll tell you Hitomi's at the area to the left of you with the gate. Well maybe he doesn't but I'm surethat's what he means..
- Go to the area to the left of you with the gate. Hitomi's there. Time to blowher away! ^_^ In case you're lazy, here's a few strings and your Specials listedall nice and neat to make it easier (like it needs to be...):
Strings:
X, T, T, O, X, R+O, L+O, L+O, R+X
S, S, T, T, X, L+X, U+X, D+X, R+O
Specials:
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
U-U+O, T, S, X
U-U+T, O, T, S, X
D-D+T, O, T, S, X
- When you win Hitomi tells you that she's not a real person and just a creation of WDC's power. She tells you all about how you must save people by dancing.
Suddenlyyou'll start hearing beeping while you talk.. when she walks away from you she'llblow up. Yes, you heard me right.
She explodes into a million pieces. I guessthat's what you get for double crossing the WDC..
- Meanwhile Asuka and the great Kage no Shirei are talking about Hitomi's failureand about how there are others who won't fail. Typical evil people stuff.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- You tell Mai that you're off to go fight evil by dancing. Instead of laughing atyou she gives you a ribbon. You now have all the Japan items. ^_^ Now you're off to blow up other people.
- Hmm.. England's first on the list so that sounds good to me.. let's go there!
-----England-----
- There's some stuff then you get to choose between two choices. I chose the firstone cause it had two exclamation points so it seemed important to me.
- Okay, head up to the building in the top right corner and choose the first optionwhen you are presented with options (the second one ends the event and you'll keephaving to come here until you pick the first one) and you'll meet up with Sophia.
She's here to see the best tap dancer of the century. She also mentions her boyfriend Michael, who apparently provided her the ticket to go to England. What a nice guy.
The two of you go to watch Jennifer tap dance. All Jennifer does is stand there though. Some best tap dancer of the century.. even Subaru looks disappointed.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Walk over to the left side of the screen and you'll be looking for a woman in a pinkdress and has her hair up in a bun-looking way.
Talk to her twice (yes, luckily heryoung Subaru the England natives speak fluent Japanese) and on the second time choose
the first choice to get a bottle of perfume.
Your Lucky! goes up 8 points but your Rhythm! falls 4.
- Go to the building in the bottom right corner of the screen. Before going inside takea good look at the writing on the wall to the right of the door to pick up a Jennifertrading card.
YES!! Inside you'll find the leader of the local dance school. Not much of importance seems to be said.. but what could be more important than a Jennifertrading card anyways?
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Go to the left and you'll see Jennifer kneeling down in the graveyard. I didn'treally pick out much from this conversation but you don't seem too happy when she walks off.
- Go back and talk to the leader guy. Spooky music plays while you talk. I suppose thathe told you something important..
- I bet now after that conversation that you want a top hat right? Well you certainly lucked out! ^_^ Walk up to the water fountain and talk to the person(?) in the center.Choose the first option.
Now talk to him again to get the Silk Hat top hat. I guess thecreators of this game think a lot like me. You'll notice that you now have the command "Flying Feet" (L-L+O, L+O, D+O, R+O). This hat is the coolest hat ever.
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Now what goes better with a top hat than boots? Well worry not my friend cause we'llget some boots too.
Talk to the blonde guy standing alone in the top left corner of themap over and over again till he gives them to you. Your Rhythm! goes up 12 but yourNORINORI! goes down 8.
- Talk to the old guy a little below this guy over and over again to get the London Busitem. You'll walk around like an idiot for a while.. then it makes your Rhythm! go up by 4.
- Talk to the little girl nearby and you'll play Hide and Seek with her. She'll hidebetween the two red houses on the bottom left part of the map.
Find her and she'll give you the Opera Glass and you'll learn the command "Graceful Step" (R-D-DR+T, O, S, T, X, T).
- Back to plot... go to the WDC building (it's on the right side of the map in the middle) to overhear Jennifer talking to the infamous Kage no Shirei. Damn, he's cool. They mention training but I was too busy drinking my Sunkist to see anything else.
- Right above the graveyard area there's this blonde guy walking around. Talk to him.
- Go down to the graveyard area and talk to the boy there. That SHOULD open the gate at the bottom right corner of the graveyard area. If it doesn't let me know..
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- Travel through said gate and go to the building to spy on Jennifer perfecting her Tapskills with a scientist person. After her rhythm is off by .2%, Jennifer tries againand Taps perfectly. You're impressed but also a little bit worried...
- Before leaving the area go search the top part of the barrels to get a T-Shirt. It makes your NORINORI! go up 4 points.
- Go back to the local dance school to talk to Sophia you will allow you to practice yourmad Tap dancing skills. Sophia tells you stuff then goes out to check the mail.
You gotmail! Jennifer sent you a letter. Go back and practice again and you'll learn the command"Shine Dream" (D-DR-R+O, O, O, DR+O).
More Dance Dance Dance Tips:
- This last retarded item took me forever to find.. talk to the thing that give you theSilk Hat until it repeats itself.
Now go to the old guy who gives you the London Bus andwhen he's not in your way search the flowers in the middle of the flower store.
Youshould find Titanic model. Not only is it a replica of a ship but it's also a mysticalteaching device that teaches you the Special "Noble Attack" (L-L+T, L+T, R+T, L+T).
- Time to whip up on Jennifer! She's standing in the graveyard. Talk to her to layeth thesmacketh down on her roody-poo candy ass. I was lazy so I just used my Tap strings I mentioned in the Dance Mode section of the FAQ and won easily.
Note: they seem to bearguing over a love letter. Subaru wonders who it's for then decides it's for Paul whomI haven't mentioned yet cause I have no freakin clue who he is.
Strings:
T, S, O, X, T, R+S, R+O, X, D+X, R+X
X, O, T, S, X, R+O, R+T, R+S, D+X, R+X
Specials:

R-D-DR+T, O, S, T, X, T
D-DR-R+O, O, O, DR+O
L-L+T, L+T, R+T, L+T
- You win and Jennifer tells you that her heart was in dancing but you're still better.You talk about some stuff and she doesn't blow up. I guess that's kinda cool..
- Next on the list working our way down is Egypt. Let's go there!!!!!
4) SECRETS
4.1 - Secret Characters
Yep, like most games nowadays there are secret characters in this game.I'm sure you wanna get them so I shall tell you how to do so since I'msuch a nice guy.
- Dorry: A badass Breakdancing rabbit. This guy is cool and he knows it.Just look at his portrait. Get him by beating Challenge Mode on at leastNormal difficulty with Brian.
