Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2"Looking for Insider Cheat Codes for Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2?" 1) INTRODUCTION
Welcome to my FAQ for DDR Extreme 2 for the Playstation 2! I refer to this as a "FAQ/Walkthrough", but there's very little "walking through" to be done with this game. Anyone familiar with Konami's most famous member of the BEMANI series will know that there are few written tips that can be given for the Dance Dance Revolution series.
More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: 2) FAQ Q1: What is Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2? A1: DDR Extreme 2 is Konami's latest foray into the DDR world as it gradually makes its way to American shores. Q2: How does one play Dance Dance Revolution games? A2: It's actually pretty simple. Your "controller" has four directions: left, down, up, and right, which are shown at the top of your play screen. You select a song. As the song plays, arrows will start scrolling up to your top line. When an arrow scrolling up reaches the line of arrows at the top, you must "step" on the direction matching that arrow's direction. If two arrows come up at once, you must press both at once. If a green "freeze" arrowappears, you must hold that step at the beginning until the freeze arrow ends. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Q3: How many songs in this mix? A3: 74. 24 open by default and the other 50 you have to unlock. Q4: How do I unlock new songs? A4: It's possible to unlock songs through Free Play or Advanced Mode by just continually playing, but it's very slow. The faster way is to play through Dance Master Mode. There are certain missions that unlock certain songs. Also, it seems just repeatedly playing missions in DM Mode unlocks songs, at least faster than the other modes. Q5: How do I unlock SAKURA? More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: A5: One of the more popular selections in this mix, I'd wager. You first need to get to Area D of Dance Master Mode, then follow this sequence for the fastest and easiest trip there: D-03, D-15, D-20, D-21, D-38, then sequentially up each mission all the way to D-47. It's not an easy run, particularly the Supersonic Course at D-43, but you did want to earn the song didn't you? Q6: Are there any more songs than the ones you have listed? More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: A6: Nope. That's all. No MAX.(period). No bag. There's always next year. Q7: Can I turn off the corner buttons on my pad? A7: YES. Recovering from their mistake in the last mix, "Dance Play Settings" has returned as an option, so you can play on the pad without worrying about a misstep due to a large foot. Q8: Is the EyeToy required to play? A8: No. All there is to play is Hands & Feet Mode, which you can activate in the options if the EyeToy is hooked up. All songs have the same difficulties as they did for regular Single. Q: Is this just like the DDR Extreme in the arcades? A: Not really. For licensing reasons, the fact that the USA has missed several old songs from previous mixes, and the introduction of brand new songs for the American audience, we're given a hodgepodge of DDR material in this mix from several different mixes, but mostly from the later mixes in the arcades. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Q9: Why isn't (insert song here) in this mix or any others? A9: Usually, it's directly related to the fact that, despite Konami's usage of these songs for DDR, the songs are still owned by the songs' artists. This means that the contract the artists have with Konami only refers to the games they specify, which is generally the arcade mix, and (most of the time) the corresponding Japanese Playstation console port. Getting the songs over here is a whole other story, and I feel that we're lucky to get the songs that we do. Of course, if your beef is why we don't get certain Konami Originals, then I dunno what to tell you. Q10: Does this mix have Oni Mode? A10: Yes! Oni Mode and Nonstop Mode are now placed into one section called "Course Mode" which is under the new Advanced Mode, which houses all difficult modes of play. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Q11: Does this mix have Mission Mode? A11: Yes! Now renamed "Dance Master Mode", this mode returns from last mix topresent you with unique challenges related to the gameplay. Q12: Just who is NAOKI? A12: Naoki Maeda has been with Konami for many years. He is the leader of Konami AM Internal Sound Team, who are in charge of coming up with songs foreach new DDR release. He's responsible for many songs throughout DDR-dom, under lots of artist names. He also has the support of other artists and vocalists, such as Paula Terry, Thomas Howard, and Aaron G. His artist namesinclude, but are not limited to: Omega (the symbol), 1479, 180, 190, 190', 200, 270, 290, 8 bit, B3-PROJECT, BIG-O, BLUE DESTROYERS, Crystal Aliens, DANDY MINIERO, d-complex, DJ KAZU, DE-SIRE, DIVAS, DR. VIBE, FACTOR-X, FIXX, KTz, Luv UNLIMITED, mitsu-O!, MR. DOG, MUSTACHE MEN, N&S, N.M.R, NAOKI, NAOKI 190, NAOKI underground, NM, NO.9, NW260, RE-VENGE, RevenG, Stone Bros., TailBros, THE FINAL BAND, THE SURRENDERS, UZI-LAY, Z, ZZ. Some of these are not actually names for Naoki, but sometimes artists he's used for vocals in the songs. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Q13: What is Dancemania? A13: A rather large series of albums, developed by Toshiba-EMI, which showcasea lot of dance music from artists all over the world. Konami's BEMANI studio has a long-standing partnership, where DDR gets Dancemania licenses (for relatively cheap) while DDR plugs Dancemania in its games. There are a few DM releases in this mix. Q14: What is beatmania? More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: A14: Developed almost concurrently with DDR, BM is a series of games where youuse your fingers instead of your feet. You have a set of keys, like a piano, and you have to tap those to create the music (each key tap adds music to the playing score). Also, you have a turntable to "scratch", which also adds sound. The original beatmania had 5 keys, beatmania IIDX has 7 keys (and is the only one of the series still coming out with new mixes), and beatmania III has 5 keys and a foot pedal. I refer to several songs as being "from beatmania", and you too, will have a chance to play some of these songs in their original format once beatmania (US PS2) hits stores in early 2006. Q15: What are Guitar Freaks and Drummania? More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: A15: These ongoing series are favorites from BEMANI. Guitar Freaks uses a guitar with three neck buttons and a "pick", which allows you to insert music into the song. Drummania is similar, using a drum set. A few mixes into the series, BEMANI got the wise idea of combining the two series, giving each mix the same list, and allowing the machines to link up. Q16: What is Dance ManiaX? More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: A16: This is a short-lived series that was made to showcase more Dancemania tunes, as well as a bunch of Konami Originals. It's played with light beams, and blocking them in time with the music. Q17: What is pop'n music? A17: This is a currently ongoing BEMANI series that is similar to beatmania, only it just involves a bunch of colored buttons. It has a more cartoonish look to it than other BEMANI series, and many of the songs are happy songs, or songs from popular anime. Q18: What is Mambo A Go Go? A18: A one-shot experimental music game from BEMANI. This one involved threeconga drums, and is played much as you'd expect. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Q19: Hey, did you know that (insert song here) was in (insert game here) first? A19: Well, please, if I've made mistakes, let me know. I pride myself on a healthy knowledge of BEMANI, but no one's perfect. If something's wrong, tell me. Q20: I think a genre you have listed is incorrect. A20: Tell me what you think it should be, but present a good case, because I've asked a lot of people about this subject. However, if you're disputing a genre that has a star (*) after it, then I won't bother, because those are the official genres as Konami states.

Tap Up or Down to change the difficulty.Press X or Circle to select. Press Start to access the Quick Menu. From here you can change the sorting of the list, save your progress, or check your records in one list. Changing the sorting will change it from the default "by color" setup to an alphabetical list where you can pick the letter, to by BPM from slowest to fastest, and your "favorites", which is measured by the total score from all your plays of the song divided by the number of the difficulty each time you played. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Difficulties:Beginner (BEG): Almost all songs are 1-footers. You also have an on-screen dancer stepping the steps along with you. Don't play this for too long if you wish to get better. Light (LGT): Most songs range from 2 to 5 feet. This is pretty simple if you're getting used to DDR. Standard (STD): Most songs range from 4 to 7 feet. Largely, you'll find that steps reflect how the music goes, as opposed to just being on the beat. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Heavy (HVY): Most songs range from 6 to 10 feet. These are the tough ones where they focus on two things: matching the song's notes exactly, and/or kicking up the difficulty to give you pains. Challenge (CHA): A special "second Heavy" difficulty. Only certain songs have this difficulty, some as the only difficulty. At the bottom of the screen, you'll see the BPM for the song, which may be dynamic, which brackets the "Groove Radar", which gives a detailed look at the song. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Groove Radar: This is a graphical representation of the difficulty of the song. It's broken down into five attributes: - Stream: More or less the overall number of steps. - Voltage: How many steps are sandwiched into how much time. Higher voltage means more steps in less time. - Air: The overall number of double steps (time spent in the air). - Freeze: The overall number and length of freeze arrows. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: - Chaos: The number of weird steps (not straight 1/4 and 1/8, or steps that force you turn as you step). If you can't figure out what song you want, you can select ROULETTE. This will start the song list rolling. Press X to stop it. It's tough to get it to stop on a song you want, though. Once your song's picked, you can still adjust the difficulty. Also, in this mix, you can select RANDOM. This will automatically pick a random song at the current difficulty. You will not be able to adjust anything once you hit the RANDOM button. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips:Select EDIT DATA and you pick some of the Edits you've thrown together. Select Options You must select the options at the bottom of the difficulty list in this mix. No, holding down X or Circle anymore. Speed: This is the speed of the arrows on the screen. It doesn't affect the speed of the song, just the arrows. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Boost: If turned on, the arrows will gradually speed up as they move on the game screen. Appearance: "Visible" is the normal setting. If "Hidden" is on, the arrows will vanish about half-way. If "Sudden" is on, the arrows will appear about half-way. If "Stealth" is on, you won't see the arrows at all. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Turn: "Off" is normal. "Mirror" rotates all arrows 180 degrees. "Left" rotates them 90 degrees to the left. "Right" in the other direction. "Shuffle" specifically picks two sets of arrows and reverses their roles, giving a new somewhat random selection that doesn't fall under Mirror, Left, or Right. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Little: Turning this on will remove all non-quarter notes from the song. It won't give you a good chance for a high score, though. Dark: Turning this on will remove the Step Zone from the screen. Simultaneous Step: Turning this to "Off 1" will make all jumps into single steps. Turning this to "Off 2" will remove jumps entirely. Scroll: "Standard" is normal bottom to top scrolling. "Reverse" is, oddly enough, scrolling from top to bottom. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Freeze Arrow: You can turn the Freeze Arrows off. Step: Another chance to change the difficulty of your song. Are You Ready? The main field consists of the arrows and the Step Zone, which is a line of arrows on the screen. As the song plays, arrows will begin scrolling along the screen. As the arrows reach the Step Zone, you need to step on those arrows. If you see a green Freeze Arrow, you need to step on that arrow and hold it until the Freeze Arrow ends (you don't need to remove your foot when it ends, just stay on it until it ends, and move your foot at your leisure). More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: On the top of the screen is the Dance Meter. It starts about half full. As you step properly, it'll fill more. If you misstep, your Dance Meter will start emptying. If it empties completely, game over. On the bottom of the screen is the difficulty (in case you forgot), and your score as it tallies up. Also in the middle of the screen, you'll see words pop up as you step: More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: MARVELLOUS: You stepped precisely on the arrow. This needs to be turned on in the Options to see in Free Play Mode, but is automatically on in Advanced and Training Mode. For Free Play, it's ranked no better than a PERFECT. PERFECT: You stepped more or less precisely on the arrow. Combo continues, the dance meter increases, and you get the maximum possible score from that step. GREAT: You just about stepped on the arrow. Combo continues, the dance meter increases, and you get half the maximum possible score for the step. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: GOOD: You're off on the step by a bit. Combo stops, but the dance meter doesn't change. You get no points. ALMOST: You're off on the step by quite a bit. Combo stops, and your dancemeter decreases. You get no points. BOO: You completely missed the step. Combo stops, and your dance meter decreases. You get no points. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: OK!: You stepped on the whole Freeze Arrow. You get the normal maximum scorefor a step. NG: You stepped off the Freeze Arrow before it ended. Combo continues, but your Dance Meter will decrease. You get no points. Also marked on the screen is your combo, which is how many PERFECTS and GREATS you have in a row. The announcer will tell you when you hit 100 combo, 200, etc. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Evaluation Once you complete the song, you'll see an Evaluation Screen. You'll receive a letter grade, a tally on how many of each step you got, your maximum combo, and your score. Scoring is measured by the following algorithm: More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: X = The total number of standard steps (double steps count as one) + (2 * the total number of Freeze Arrows) Y = 70,000,000 / X Each PERFECT and OK is worth Y points. Each GREAT is worth Y/2 points. All other types of steps are worth no points. So, your maximum possible score is 7 million, plus however many bonus points you've received, which maxes at 10 million, I haven't figured out the bonus algorithm, yet. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: The grades are AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, and E. The letter grade is determined by tallying up the number of Dance Points you scored in the song (see above for how each step gives you Dance Points). E is a failing grade. D, C, B, and A are progressive grades based on your score (including bonus).AA is given for a large score. To get this, you'll have to get a full combo, since you get about an extra million bonus points for the full combo. AAA is given for all PERFECTs and OKs on Freeze Arrows. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: In addition to the letter, you'll get a star if you have a full combo. EyeToy Play Plug an EyeToy into one of the USB ports, then fire up Free Play Mode. The game will ask if you wish to use the EyeToy, then give you the style. It will give you the additional style select of "Hands & Feet". After selecting that, you'll go to the song select screen. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: You'll notice there are additional markers on the difficulties. Next to every difficulty is a set of handprints. These are how difficult the hand motions are for this song, on a level of one to two.Also available is a special "Hands & Feet" step difficulty which focuses the steps so they compliment the hand motions. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: As you play, you'll have an image of what the EyeToy sees transposed onto the screen. You need to move the image of yourself onto hand prints when they scroll up to the Step Zone. In addition, if you wish, you can just select the usual Single, Versus, or Double while using the EyeToy and you get the same "Watch Me Dance" from Extreme USA. Added to the "Quick Menu" (START button) is the selection of "Camera", where you can check what the camera's seeing. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: 3.4 - Dancing Tips for the Beginner KEEP PRACTICING! So, you've just got into DDR, eh? Good for you! You've become a part of a cult sensation that still holds tons of respect in arcades across the country! This game will probably seem quite overwhelming to you at first, especially if you watch people play it and watch them do 9-footers. Don't sweat it. You CAN be as good as them with the proper practice and effort. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: If you really want to get into this, definitely use the Official DDR Pad. There's no PS2 controller to use in the arcades, so learn the pad nice and early. Most game stores have a few of these tucked away (possibly more, if Konami's hyping this game like they should). If you're truly a beginner, you may just want to start with a nice cheap pad. That way, if you find it's not for you, you're not out a huge investment. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: So, to begin, use the Lesson Mode the game provides you. It will walk you through the basics and coach you to be a better dancer. Despite the Lesson Mode, here are some tips I can give you as a beginner: More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: 1. Get a good feeling for the beat. People who have performed with music have an advantage. People in marching band have a serious advantage. ~_^ You'll be stepping to the beat in these early stages, so get used to it now. 2. Now that you have the beat, you must "find the arrows". Yeah, sure. I know they're right there in front of you, to your sides, and behind you, but can you hit them without looking? Early on, you'll find that's your biggest problem: taking a step and not landing on the arrow. If you have to look, look, but that tactic won't last forever, so before a song takes off, take some cursory steps to make sure you're hitting arrows. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: 3. Keep your center. Especially on cheap pads with no definition, you'll find yourself often taking leave of the center of the pad as you continue stepping. If there's a break in the song, look down to make sure you're in the center. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: 4. Use the balls of your feet. You may notice, after some days of a lot of playing, that your ankles will start hurting. That's normal, and it's happened to most everyone I know that DDRs. This is your feet telling you to not step with your heels, but with the front of the foot. Get into thathabit. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: 5. Now that you have these basics, and the Lesson Mode (largely) completed, head into Beginner Mode and start tackling songs. In particular, get used to the speed of the songs, as well as the speeding-up, slowing-down, and stopping some songs do. When that just gets too easy, take a deep breath and head into the real DDR world with Light Mode. Try to keep your songs at three feet or below, but don't be afraid to venture out into the great unknown. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: 3.5 - Dancing Tips for the Intermediate KEEP PRACTICING! Well, you're definitely not a n00b anymore (pardon my French). You're at the point where you wouldn't completely humiliate yourself at the arcades, but you probably won't impress many people there. In fact, you may just bore them with your simple steps. It's time to go to the next level. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: At this point in your career, it's time to consider a new pad. For me, this meant going to redoctane.com and ordering their standard soft pad. This pad has a soft bottom which won't slip or bunch up as much. It's still not a serious pad, but you could do worse with fifty bucks. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: So, first tip is to KNOW THE SONGS. You don't necessarily need to memorize the steps, but have a basic understanding of the song before you go into it. Even memorize the music itself, the lyrics, etc. so you can whistle along. Know where the tempo changes may occur, where stops are. Most importantly, know where the songs musical notes occur in the melody, because these will be mostly what you step. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Now that we're heading into dangerous territory, there is one big rule that I have to stress right away: More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Remember how in the last part I told you to "find your center"? Well, you've found it by now, so now it's time to GET OFF IT. That's a crutch that's let you into the game, but it will hold you back later on. What you have to learn is to return your feet to the center as rarely as possible, if at all. Move your feet from one arrow to the next, and don't move them unless you havean arrow to go to. This is probably the hardest thing you'll ever have to learn as a DDR player. Once you've relinquished your grip on the center, you only stand to improve up to the highest reaches of DDR-dom. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: This actually leads to the other major point of going intermediate: Eighth notes. Those are those off-colored ones. You'll have to deal with a lot of them, so learn to love them now. This is actually a good first step to leaving the center, because you are absolutely required to step three or more arrows in succession, and you'll have no time to return to the center at all. Use groups of three eighth notes to figure how to properly move between arrows; combinations such as up-left-down, where your right foot goes on up, left foot goes on left, and your right foot is already carrying back towardsthe down arrow, for example. Once you get strings of three down, you'll be ready to tackle longer strings, of four, five, seven, even nine if they're not too tangly. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: So, for this end, you'll want to go for songs of four to six feet in difficulty, as well as treading into the pink pink waters of Standard Mode. Just about all songs of this difficulty have at least several eighth notesto give you practice. Take these opportunities to develop your step combinations for your own style, so you'll be ready to use them when they appear again in harder songs. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Also, it may behoove you to get into Workout Mode or Endless Mode and repeatedly hammer some songs, particularly those of a brisk pace. This is a good first step to building up all-important stamina. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: 3.6 Dancing Tips for the Advanced KEEP PRACTICING! More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: All right. You're through messing around, and through getting condescending looks from your peers at the arcade. It's time to show them what you can really do and kick it up a notch or three. If you're really serious now, it's once again time for a new pad. Although 7, 8, and even some 9-footers are possible on a soft, flimsy pad, you just won't get the high scores you cherish. For this, I turned to RedOctane's Ignition 2.0. It's also a soft pad, but the thick foam insert, soft gripping bottom, and raised step platforms make it a good pad for aspiring champions, all for a paltry 100 clams. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Of course, if you have the money to blow (approximately $300), you may want to take it even further and buy the Cobalt Flux pad, which is a custom-made hard metal pad. It's VERY resilient, and much like pads you'll see in the arcades. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Anyway, pads aside, it's time to get down to business: First, you better have mastered the stuff from the previous sections. I want to be able to yell out a song title and for you to hum it right there so you know what it sounds like. I don't wanna see your feet touch that center, soldier, or you'll drop and give me fifty. At this point, you should also have quick enough eye-foot coordination so that matching arrows on the screen with proper steps is second-nature. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Now, for some new tactics: Chaos. You'll soon find as you reach the higher levels, that not all arrows are quarter notes and eighth notes. You'll find sixteenths, twelfths, and thirty-second notes thrown in to mess you up. Very rarely will they be in random. Almost always, they'll match up with how the song goes, so you'll at least have that going for you. So, a thorough knowledge of the songs will allow you to surmount this hurdle with little difficulty. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Taps. This is the name I like to give eighth notes all on the same arrow. These are always a pain, because you have to train your foot to tap rapidly on the same arrow for a possibly long time, and it can really wear you out. There's no easy way to get around this, you just have to learn it as you go. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Gallops. This is the popular name for a series of steps that has two sixteenth note steps together, then two sixteen notes of dead space, then two note steps together, and so on. When you step these notes, you'll feel like a horse gallopping, which derives the name. Oftentimes, these notes will be strung so that the last note in one gallop is the first note of the next gallop. To properly step these, leave your last-stepping foot in place, so it'll be ready to step the next gallop while your other foot moves to the next note. This leads to the final tactic. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Axis of Rotation or "crossovers". Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to have your upper body directly facing the screen at all times. A very important tactic for the toughest songs is turning your body so that making truly difficult steps becomes easier. Using alternating feet on long series' of eighth notes is far less taxing than taking two or more eighth notes with one foot. The best way to start turning your body is with left-down-right eighth note combos. Left foot on the left arrow, right foot on the down, andturn so that your left foot hits the right arrow. It'll be very disorienting at first, but the hard songs will really take it out of you if you don't learn. After learning a basic turn, learn to maintain your body at a 90 degree angle to the screen for extended periods of time, and then taking it further by rotating 180 degrees, or even 270 and 360, if you're brave enough to take your eyes off the screen. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Finally, it's important to be in relatively good shape for this. You have to have the proper stamina and leg strength to pull off the toughest ones, because rather dexterous and tiring feats will be required of you, so keep pounding at it, do hard songs repeatedly to build up strength, and push yourself harder and harder to go all the way up to the great green Heavy Mode.

Get ready to relearn DDR all over again as you branch out towards the secondpad. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: First of all, it'd be best you get good pads for this. Soft flat mats are just no good at all, since they'll slide apart and over each other. Even Ignition Pads are tough for this, since they can move as well, unless you can find some way to lash them together. The best, naturally, is the Cobalt Flux dual setup, which you can connect. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Okay, you probably should begin your Doubles career after at least mastering Standard on Single, but it's best on Heavy. One of the greatest things to "unlearn" from Single Play is to be able to move your entire body. When playing Single, you'll generally maintain your upper body in one place spatially, but that definitely won't fly on Doubles. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Crossovers take on a whole new meaning when playing on higher levels onDouble Play. In a general sense, you'll be playing with your left foot on the right arrow on the left pad, while your right foot will be on the left arrow on the right pad. A lot of the stepcharts on Doubles are engineered so you dance around that setup. After that, it's all pretty much getting used to the new setup. Practice and practice some more. Build up your stamina, learn how to read eight arrows, and know where to step.

Sweet little 30's Genre: Swing BPM: 63-190 Difficulty: Sgl Dbl BEG: 2 LGT: 4 4 STD: 6 6 HVY: 8 8 Play Notes: About halfway through the second verse, the songs slows down on "Lightning streak!" At the final chorus, the song slows down again just after "Nobody get in my way!" Heavy Notes: This song's a swing song, and almost all the steps are triplets. The steps aren't all that difficult, but the fast tempo can trip you up. Lyrics: I'm a cool cat making waves all over town When they see me coming everybody's heads turn 'round With my twin cam, dual exhaust, and my ragtop down I'm a ladies' man, just a terrible lousy freak I'll call your daughter, any day of the week With attention to the chrome, I'm a LIGHTNING STREAK!

Heavy Notes: This song is pretty basic for much of the first half, simple streams and freezes. Once you get past the main chorus, it changes tack to follow the piano, and later the saxophone, so expect some gallops and chaotic steps. Lyrics: Ooooo, ohhhh, yeah, yeah Ohhhhh The promise of love turns to happiness I lose myself, whenever I'm with you The prince that I've waited for all of my life And that tells me we're gonna do it I need you, need you There ain't no doubt in my mind, oh...

Goro Genre: Oceanian Tribal Trance* BPM: 137 Difficulty: Sgl Dbl BEG: 1 LGT: 2 2 STD: 6 6 HVY: 7 7 CHA: 9 Heavy Notes: The greatest difficulty is the song's length, nearly two minutes. However, the steps aren't particularly difficult. Just some lengthy streams and delayed chaos steps. Challenge Notes: Two very VERY long streams in this song, one right at the beginning, another at the halfway points, with freezes in it. When not in those streams, you'll alternate between gallops and short streams.

Heavy Notes: This is a swing song, and makes no excuses for it. All streams, while not particularly difficult, have swing notes, which should be easy to follow if you can keep with the rhythm. There are also a couple of spots with twelfth-note clusters to watch for. Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: beatmania IIDX 11 RED DDR Debut: BRAND NEW Artist Notes: Akira Yamaoka is best known as the composer for Konami's horror series, Silent Hill. Of course, he's also very active as a composer for beatmania IIDX and other BEMANI games. Misc. Notes: This is not actually the song as it appears in IIDX RED. The vocals by Sanae Shintani (see Miracle Moon) have been removed for this "Hina Mix", due to the fact that they were a little too spicy for public consumption (she says, in English, "touch me", "lick me", and "stroke me"). =======================================5.14 - INSERTiON (Machine Gun Kelly Mix)======================================= UNLOCK: Mission B-45 Artist: Thuggie D.

It will speed back up once the percussion kicks back in. Heavy Notes: The slowdown can complicate matters, but mostly you'll have easy streams and some gallops. Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: DDR Ultramix Artist Notes: See ABSOLUTE (Cuff-N-Stuff it Mix) for info on Thuggie D. Misc. Notes: This is a remix of the song by NAOKI underground, which appearsin DDRMAX USA.

Heavy Notes: The slow speed makes this one pretty easy. Small to mid-length streams, with some jumps in them. A few gallops in the second half, and there are three spots with clusters of four sixteenths. Lyrics: (1, 2, 3, 4) I want you now My heart's on fire As we turn-turn-turn Into the long hot night It's good for you love I'm wanting your love I know that you'll be better I'm feelin' good I'm feelin' fine I want you now I want you now Don't ever leave I know you want Don't let me go-go-go Don't let me go Baby, yeah, you love me so much Baby, yeah, you're holding my love I want you just to hold me I know that you love me always I want you just to touch me I love to feel you near me I want you just to hold me I know that you love me always I want you just to touch me I love to be inside your heart Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: BRAND NEW Artist Notes: See INJECTION OF LOVE for info on Akira Yamaoka. ==============================5.16 - KEEP ON MOVIN' (DMX Mix)============================= UNLOCK: Mission B-20 Artist: N.M.R-typeG Genre: Dance Pop BPM: 132 Difficulty: Sgl Dbl BEG: 1 LGT: 3 4 STD: 5 5 HVY: 7 7 CHA: 8 Heavy Notes: Simple streams abound, for the most part. Later in the song, you'll have some double steps ending the streams. Also, you'll have to step the synth brass hits, which aren't too difficult at all once you know them. Challenge Notes: Longer streams, with some gallops to cap them off. Also watch out for the multitude of freezes, and some small clusters of sixteenths. Lyrics: Doin' it, doin' it I-i-it, all new happy, happy, happy Doin' it, d-d-doin' it I-i-i-it Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on doin' it (doin' it) Do, do, d-d-doin' it, i-i-i-it All new happy, happy, happy Keep on, keep on doin' it (doin' it) Do, do, d-d-doin' it, i-i-i-itKeep on, keep on, keep on, keep on doin' it All new happy on your own (keep on, keep on, keep on, oh) Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on doin' it (What about my love) Hope you feel good, hope you feel better, ooh!

The streams aren't too bad, but they'll be offbeat sometimes, as will the freezes. Nothing too harrowing, though. Song Type: Public Domain First Appearance: Mambo A Go Go DDR Debut: DDR Extreme (Arcade) Misc. Notes: A classic Mexican folk tune, created in the Mexican state of Veracruz around 300 years ago, where it was often played at weddings. That practice has slowed a bit in recent centuries. ======================================5.18 - L'amour et la liberté (DDR ver.)====================================== UNLOCK: Mission C-30 Artist: NAOKI underground Genre: Euro Trance* BPM: 140-145 Difficulty: Sgl Dbl BEG: 1 LGT: 4 4 STD: 6 6 HVY: 8 7 Play Notes: The song starts at 140, but only for a few measures before it settles into 145 for the rest of the song. Heavy Notes: Ugh. A pain in the padded butt. This chart can't seem to get near a decent rhythm, or rather, it wants to follow the synth notes in their odd-beat setup. Read carefully so you can pick up all the really odd steps. Watch for gallops and sixteenths. Lyrics: Dans un monde parfait l'humanité Existe comme un arc en ciel Avec des couleurs multiples Noir, blanc, jaune et rouge Larmes, larmes Larmes, larmes Si on continue a vivre comme ça Faire comme ça On a besoin d'unifier tout le monde Pour ensemble vivre dans le monde L'amour et la liberté c'est tout ce qu'il Faut pour l'humanité Sans discrimination raciale Chaque couleur a l'unison Brillante et claire Donnant au monde Paix et liberté English Translation: In a world perfect humanity Exists like a rainbow With multiple colours Black, white, yellow and red Tears, tears Tears, tears If we continue to live like this Do like this We need to unify everyone To live together in the world Love and liberty is all it Needs for humanity Without racial discrimination Each colour in unison Brilliant and clear Giving to people Peace and liberty Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: beatmania IIDX 6th Style (Arcade) DDR Debut: DDR Extreme (Arcade) Artist Notes: See the FAQ for info on Naoki.

Lyrics: Enfin j'arrive a te détester et toi Tu dis que tu m'aime c'est trop tard maintenant Les mots doux ou tes larmes ne me disent rien Tu ne pourrais jamais imaginer mes souffrance Je t'aime, je n'ai que toi, quelle betise j'ai fait! C'était une illusion que jamais autre fille Nous avons promis de nous marier Ne me dis pas que tu ne reviendras jamais Orange, l'amour est orange Oui nous sommes mélangés dans un jeu d'ange Orange, l'amour est orange C'est dangereux, quand je finirai son jeu?

Lyrics: Follow your dreams, follow your heart Follow your dreams, follow your heart Follow your dreams, follow your heart Follow your dreams, follow your heart When the world seems so lost in itself and you feel that life is not so easy on you Don't forget that you're not by yourselfFor together we can make this world a better place Give it a chance (There's time to save this planet now) Give us a hand Find the way to help Mother Earth (It is not too late to give her a chance) Help make her proud (We can work a way to building up a new future) The twinkling stars are watching from above (Keeping an eye on us) What we do today can make another difference (Open your heart and your mind) What we do today can make another difference (To the world now) (Make a difference) What we do today can make another difference (Open your heart and your mind) What we do today can make another difference (To the world, do it now) Together we can build a better world Together we can make it better now Together we can build a better world now Together we can make it better now Together we can build a better world Together we can make it better now Together we can build a better world.

After that, it's mid-length streams with crossovers, and some off-beat freezes. Lyrics: Tell me you love me, I'm so crazy, so crazy in love with you So crazy, so crazy, your love, there ain't nothing I can do Try to escape from this love and surprise me You, you hold the key to set me free, my love I'm so totally into you There is nothing I can do I'm so totally into you All the time, my baby I try to break from this passion that binds meBut, what, what can I do, when it's just you I see?

They fly all over the pad. Also, a few spots with small sixteenth clusters. Lyrics: Uletaj na kryl'jach vetra Ty V kraj rodnoj, rodnaja pesnya nasha Tuda gde my lubya svobodno peli Gde bylo tak privol'no nam s toboju Tam, pod znojnym nebom negoj vozduch polon Gde rad govor morja Dremljut gory v oblakach Uletaj na kryl'jach vetra Ty V kraj rodnoj, rodnaja pesnya nasha Tuda gde my lubya svobodno peli Gde bylo tak privol'no nam s toboju English Translation: Fly on the wings of the wind to the homeland, our home song where we sang freely loving where me and you felt so freely There beneath the burning sky Languid breezes cooled us There beside the mountains Straight above the silver sea Fly on the wings of the wind to the homeland, our home song where we sang freely loving where me and you felt so freely Song Type: Public Domain/Konami Original First Appearance: BRAND NEW Artist Notes: If it's the same Naoto Suzuki, this guy's produced a few songs for Ayumi Hamasaki. Misc. Notes: The original instrumental version of this song was written by Alexander Borodin in 1869, as part of his opera "Prince Igor". It is probably his best-known work. This song is featured in Konami's next thing in action games: OZ, currently only available in Japan.

It picks up in difficulty near the end, but not all that much. Challenge Notes: Streams and more streams. A large part near the beginning and the middle is psuedo-triplets. There's a long sixteenth cluster just as the beginning gets underway. There's also a spot in the latter half that is almost entirely off-beat.

About a third of the way through the song, it drops to 150, hangs there for a few measures, then begins a slowdown all the way to 14. Then after the slow measure, it goes back up to 150 for several more measures, then makes a big jump up to 320, where it goes for the rest of the song until the last few measures, where it quickly slows down to about 90 over the course of those measures. Heavy Notes: Many people consider this a difficult 9-footer, as there are 9-footers more difficult than this, but it's still a great challenge, if for nothing else than the fluctuating speed. The 300 part is pretty simple, some gallops, but mostly quarter notes. Once it drops to 150, it's pretty much a constant stream, with a freeze and one step on the really slow part. The next 150 part has more gallops and some sixteenths, the 320 part has mostly quarters and a few more eighths than the first part, with doubles marking the orchestra hits near the end, and the slowdown at the end is one stream, which you have to adjust with as it slows down. Challenge Notes: Basically a stripped down version of the Heavy steps. Fewer steps on the 300 part. The first 150 part has breaks in the stream. There's no step at 21. The second 150 part has no gallops or sixteenths, and the 320 part has again fewer steps. The slowdown is quarter notes. Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: beatmania IIDX 8th Style DDR Debut: DDR Extreme (Arcade) American Appearances: DDR Ultramix 3 Artist Notes: RevenG is an alias for Naoki (see the FAQ). Misc. Notes: SAKURA is, of course, Japanese for "cherry blossom", referring specifically to cherry blossom trees that are popular in Japan, particularly in spring time, when the blossoms all fall from the trees at once. ==========================================5.27 - SANA MOLLETE NE ENTE (B.L.T.

Heavy Notes: Once you get truly underway, the biggest problem comes from lengthy, but easy, streams at the fast tempo. No real surprises. Challenge Notes: The streams are now a bit more complicated and a bit longer, and there are also some chaotic off-beat steps to take care of.

There are two small stops in the latter half of the tune. Heavy Notes: The opener is a lot of sixteenths, but a repetitive rhythm.

This song would be easier if it were slower. Fast speeds means turns and taps are tough. Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: Dancing Stage feat. True Kiss Destination (Arcade) American Appearances: DDR Ultramix Artist Notes: Crystal Aliens is a Naoki psuedonym. ===========================5.31 - Sweet Sweet <3 Magic=========================== UNLOCK: Mission C-28 Artist: jun Genre: Happy Hardcore* BPM: 180 Difficulty: Sgl Dbl BEG: 2 LGT: 3 3 STD: 6 6 HVY: 9 9 Play Notes: There's a tiny stop just after the verse and before the last chorus. It lasts about a beat. Heavy Notes: This is a pretty tough nine-footer. I base that around the fact that there are plenty of odd steps: triplets, sixteenth gallops, plenty of freezes with steps in them. The fact that it's pretty fast doesn't help either. Lyrics: Let's go! Ooh... Ooh... Magical Love, Magical Kiss!

There are some crossovers, but the streams never get longer than three notes. Challenge Notes: The streams are longer. There are also two long sections, one near the beginning, and the other near the end, which are entirely offbeat. The middle has the most chaos, focused around gallops and offbeat steps. Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: beatmania IIDX 5th Style DDR Debut: DDR Extreme (Arcade) Artist Notes: OutPhase is a collaboration between dj TAKA (see Colors) and TaQ Sakihabara, a commissioned artist. This "EXTREME version" is shorter than the original sync. ===============5.33 - TOMORROW=============== UNLOCK: Mission B-21 Artist: nc ft. Dreamscanner Genre: Anthem Trance BPM: 140 Difficulty: Sgl DblBEG: 1 LGT: 3 4 STD: 5 5 HVY: 7 7 Heavy Notes: Fun heavy steps. Starts with basic streams into a double freeze, then goes into steps that follow the music (first the music box, then the anthem itself). Once the snare drum march percussion gets in, the steps follow that, including the sixteenth rolls. After all that, more of the anthem step following, which includes streams of decent length and crossovers. Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: BRAND NEW Artist Notes: See Genie In A Bottle for info on noisycroak. =============================5.34 - TwinBee (Generation X)============================= UNLOCK: Mission X-06 Artist: Final Offset Genre: Euro Beat* BPM: 169 Difficulty: Sgl Dbl BEG: 1 LGT: 4 4 STD: 6 6 HVY: 8 8 Heavy Notes: Mostly streams of mid to large length, with several crossovers dotted about. The end follows the classic chipset tune sound. Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: beatmania III DDR Debut: DDR Extreme (Arcade) Artist Notes: Final Offset is Hideaki Sugaya, an artist with a small amount of beatmania tunes. Misc. Notes: Yes, this tune is based on an old Konami game of the same name.

After the words end, the song goes at 70 for a few measures, then goes back to 140 for the rest. Heavy Notes: Mostly mid-length streams and quite a few crossovers. Before the stop, watch for some freeze tricks that may trip you up. Lyrics: un...deux...trois...quatre... ...express ...express so...good yes... so...good yes... Let me be your fantasy Give me ecstasy un...deux...trois... un... ...express ...express un...deux...trois...quatre... ...express Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: DDR Extreme (JP PS2) Artist Notes: SDMS is Masafumi Sekiguchi, and this is the artist's only DDR work.

Notes: I'm sure everyone who reads this knows it, but for completeness,"un deux trois" is French for "one two three". ==============================================5.36 - You gotta move it (feat. Julie Rugaard)============================================== Artist: Yuzo Koshiro Genre: Trance* BPM: 134 Difficulty: Sgl Dbl BEG: 1 LGT: 4 4 STD: 5 5HVY: 7 7 Heavy Notes: Lots of psuedo-triplets in this set to follow the percussive tones. Other than that, there are small streams with some crossovers, and a small sixteenth cluster near the end.

The streams can get pretty long (up to sixteen notes long), and they'll include turning regularly, including full spins. Nothing truly special, just a lot of it, and at a fast tempo, too. Lyrics: (Hai aleelokuwala beeyaka Haiaiaiai) (Jawa bala Jawa bala) (Hai aleelokuwala beeyaka Haiaiaiai) LupalupalupalupalupaLAAAA! Jambalay! Jeeerah! Jambalay! Hey, vibe! Hey, hey, vibe! Ha! Brrrrah!

Notes: The original to this remix, "AFRONOVA", is in DDR USA andDDRMAX2 USA. ==================6.2 - BRILLIANT 2U================== UNLOCK: Mission B-05 Artist: NAOKI Genre: Euro Groove* BPM: 150 Difficulty:Sgl Dbl BEG: 1 LGT: 4 4 STD: 5 5 HVY: 6 7 CHA: 7 8 Heavy Notes: For the most part, you'll find small streams and quarters. There are a few tough spots, such as a couple of streams of three double steps, and during the bridge, you'll step two eighths, three sixteenths, then another eighth, then a quarter, and do that for a while. You may think it follows the music, but it doesn't. Challenge Notes: The streams have become longer, but not too much. The bridge of the song now actually follows the rhythm of the song, which can possibly make these steps easier than the original Heavy steps. Lyrics: C'mon, let's go, here we go, Jump jump jump everybody. Jump up and have a hell of a time, get down. Get involved, c'mon 'cmon. Jump jump jump, let go. Everybody knows how to get down. Jump jump jump, get involved. Jump jump jump, get involved. Jump jump jump, get involved. Everybody knows how to get down. C'mon, let's go, here we go, Jump jump jump everybody.

Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: DDR 2nd Mix (Arcade) American Appearances: DDR USA, DDR Konamix Artist Notes: Information on Naoki is in the FAQ. Misc. Notes: These "new" Challenge steps are actually a second set of Heavy steps that replaced the old Heavy steps in some mixes of DDR. There is an "Orchestra Groove" version of this song in DDR USA and DDRMAX USA. =======================6.3 - BURNIN' THE FLOOR======================= UNLOCK: Mission X-09 Artist: NAOKI Genre: Euro Groove* BPM: 155 Difficulty: Sgl Dbl BEG: 1 LGT: 4 4 STD: 6 6 HVY: 7 8 Heavy Notes: The streams don't get very long, and there's no turning involved. Probably the only tricky part is the bridge, where the steps follow the synthesizer hits.Lyrics: (Look out on the dancefloor) (It's waiting for you) It's time to burn Burn, burn, burn's the fix And tell me, do you really wanna roll with this The heat is on, it's time to move So where you know just what to do The temperatures rising, no way out Going too far, can't stop now So let me know if you feel it, too When the fire gets inside of you Where have, you been all of my life I've been, looking for you I wanna dance through, dark into the daylight with you I wanna burn! Burn, burn, burn the world, burn The rhythm's hard to ignore Set up a big fire I just don't care anymore! Let's make it special, on a dance floor I can read the signs, but I can't use the lore Let's get it up, 'cause now's the time I really wanna make you mine tonight Let's put in the fight You and me, on a fantasy And if you really wanna learn, I'm gonna show you how to burn Burn, burn, burn, you burn me You body's talking to mine (you burn me) Sizzling sensation, our bodies like it in time (oh yeah!)

The bad news is that about every other hard element is in this song. Double steps at the beginning of streams, gallops in the beginning, middle, and end, and a chaotic ending, following the music. Also, there are several double and triple taps on single arrows throughout. Lyrics: (English words are capitalized) sekai o tomete... o tomete... tomete... Dive kakushi kirenai afureru kono omoi mou himitsu ni ha dekinai hitomi sorasenai dakishimeru omoi no Tension anata e to Reflect suhada o terasu Passion mo sono mama Evolution sekai o tomete mou watashi ga tomaranai kono yoru ni tobikonde yuku Dive To The Night jikan o tomete dakedo ai ha tomaranai kono umi ni tobikonde yuku takaku anata ni ima Keep On Lovin'.

Notes: The remix of this song "more deep & deeper style" is featured in DDRMAX2 USA. ===================6.5 - DYNAMITE RAVE=================== UNLOCK: Mission C-01 Artist: NAOKI Genre: Speed Rave* BPM: 150 Difficulty: Sgl Dbl BEG: 1 LGT: 5 5 STD: 7 6 HVY: 9 8 CHA: 9 8 Heavy Notes: This song will definitely wear you down if you're not used to catas. It has everything a good cata should, though: long streams, sixteenths thrown in, double steps on some of the shorter streams, and chaos. At the beginning, you'll have to deal with some syncopation, as the first four notes are on the eighth-note beat, the next three are off, and the last two aren't, and that keeps up for several measures. Once the verse starts, you'll have eighths with groups of three sixteenths regularly thrown in. You'll get a bit of a respite from sixteenths once you get to the chorus, but those are replaced with doubles-in-streams, and long streams, then back to the second verse for more sixteenths, and then back to the chorus for more long streams and doubles. Good luck to you. Challenge Notes: Possibly a bit simpler than the original Heavy steps, but not by much. There are more crossovers to focus on, and a few freezes to deal with, but not too much has changed conceptually from these new steps. Lyrics: 1, 2, 3, 4 Dynamite Rave! Come on everybody! (go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go) And get on the floor, yeah Techno, rave It's time to make a stand and pave the way Some might say Let it go Stay with the flow Stay on beat Move your feet On concrete Or on the dance floor You want more Then I'll give you more If it's too hardcore Let me know I'll stop the show Then bring it back To be exact At 12 o'clock Rock the spot It's too damn hot They told me so Dynamite rave It's on the down low Use your inner glow To make a move Show and prove The man with the lisp Sounds so crisp When you can see me On TV On the radio Here me blow I don't wanna give up We're gonna have a party Have a really great time Yeah Yeah!

Anna Genre: Trance BPM: 140 Difficulty: Sgl Dbl BEG: 1 LGT: 4 3STD: 5 5 HVY: 7 7 Heavy Notes: This isn't too hard at all. Really, it could be seen as just an excuse to throw freeze arrows into LTTS. Anyway, there's very little turning, streams are quite simple, and there's no chaos whatsoever. Should be a relatively easy seven-footer to AA. Lyrics: S.O.T.A. Feeling sad and lonely Cause I can't find you Call your telephone And there's never no answer Said you love me Kissed me We were in heaven Said I'm sorry Love you, want you forever Every night I look at the sky Call your name And wonder where you are Every night I look at the sky Baby, miss you Won't you come back S.O.T.A.

Also, you'll find much of the same stepwise. Short streams, turns, wacky rhythms, but nothing truly chaotic, only faster than the TRIP MACHINES. The original also has some repeated taps on the same arrow during a stream that are designed to wear your feet out at that speed. These show up near the end, so watch out. Lyrics: Fee-fee-fee-feels so good... Feels good! Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: DDR 1st Mix (Arcade) American Appearances: DDR USA, DDR Konamix Artist Notes: 180 is a Naoki psuedonym, which obviously denotes the BPM, something Naoki likes to do with his PARANOiA mixes.

The stepchart itself is actually relatively simple. Mostly short streams with no crossovers. Lyrics: LupalupalupalupalupaLAAAA! Jeeerah! Hey, vibe! Hey, hey, vibe! Ha! Brrrrah! Hey, vibe!

Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: DDRMAX2: DDR 7th Mix (Arcade) Artist Notes: RE-VENGE is the same as RevenG, a Naoki psuedonym. Misc. Notes: This piece was originally in DDRMAX2 as a secret song only playable through an Oni Course. It was first selectable as a song in DDR Extreme for the arcade. So, what's a "Nonstop Megamix"? Well, the deal is that Konami and Toshiba-EMI release soundtracks for the DDR games in Japan. These soundtracks consist of two discs. One has all the new songs to that mix, and the other disc has them all in a giant continuous track called a "Nonstop Megamix", which basically connects them all through intros and outros and throws DDR sound effects and voice in. Sometimes (like in the case with SEXY PLANET), the music is changed a bit to fit the NSMM better, or how the composers are feeling that day. =================================7.2 - BRILLIANT 2U (K.O.G G3 MIX)================================= UNLOCK: Mission D-39 Artist: NAOKI Genre: Speed Rave BPM: 170 Difficulty: Sgl Dbl CHA: 7 7 Challenge Notes: Interesting chart, really. After simple streams, you come to a long section of off-beat jumps, then steps that follow the rhythm, then more off-beat jumps. Lyrics: Let's go! L-l-let's go! Go, go, go, go, go... (etc.) Let's go!

Anna Genre: Trance BPM: 140 Difficulty: Sgl DblCHA: 7 7 Challenge Notes: Several freezes throughout the song and quite a few steps during those long freezes.

These two songs are the total challenge, and, naturally, they're unlocked rather late in the process. =======================8.1 - PARANOIA survivor======================= UNLOCK: Mission X-29 Artist: 270 Genre: Jungle Mixture BPM: 135-270 Difficulty: Sgl DblBEG: 3 LGT: 5 6 STD: 8 8 HVY: 10 10 Play Notes: There are three spots where the song slows down to half speed, and it's tough for me to say where they show up, but let me say that they're all in the first half, and with the frequency you'll play this song trying to master it, you'll learn quick. Heavy Notes: Short streams for the most part. The slowdowns feature steps with the music. The streams start both on and off the beat. Once you hit the two long freezes, your streams will get longer and longer. And, of course, a BPM of 270 for your troubles. I'd say it's about as hard as MAX 300, maybe a little easier, or not. Lyrics: Sound! Sound! Heeeey-eeeeey Electric... Electric... Electric... Electric... Sound! Sound! Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: DDR Extreme (Arcade) Artist Notes: 270 is Naoki (see the FAQ), used to denote the BPM, as he does for all his PARANOiA mixes. Misc. Notes: See the original PARANOiA for info on the other mixes. ===========================8.2 - PARANOIA survivor MAX=========================== UNLOCK: Mission E-13 Artist: 290 Genre: Jungle Mixture* BPM: 73-290 Difficulty: Sgl Dbl BEG: 3 LGT: 5 6 STD: 8 8 HVY: 10 10 CHA: 10! 10! Play Notes: Very much like PARANOIA survivor. There are the three slowdowns in the first half to half-speed. At the two freezes, the song slows down to 73, then there's one more half-speed slowdown near the end. Oh, and although this seems to be just a faster version of PARANOIA survivor, there are several extra seconds of music thrown in at the end. Heavy Notes: Very much like PARANOIA survivor Heavy, for the most part, except it's Mirrored. Of course, the extra section at the end is its own, but not too difficult on its own. Challenge Notes: This is it, folks. The hardest official DDR stepchart in existence. The streams are all longer, and there's far FAR less time to relax in between them. And that's about it. There are no tricks or secretsbesides the slowdown sections, which you should be familiar with by now.All it takes here is a sharp eye and a very VERY high stamina. 613 steps ofpain. It can be done. Lyrics: Sound! Sound! Heeeey-eeeeeyElectric... Electric... Electric... Electric... Sound! Sound! Feels good-good-good-good! Song Type: Konami Original First Appearance: DDR Extreme (Arcade) Artist Notes: 290 is Naoki (see the FAQ), used to denote the BPM, as he does for all his PARANOiA mixes. Misc. Notes: See the original PARANOiA for info on the other mixes. 9) ADVANCED MODE These are the more difficult modes of play. At the outset, only "Course" is available to you, and you'll need to unlock the other options through Dance Master Mode. ============9.1 - Course============ This is a combination of the old Nonstop and Oni modes of play. You begin by selecting your style and character. After that, you select the "Meter": Normal: Standard Dance Meter. This is the "Nonstop" play, where you just gothrough the songs all at once. Challenge: Battery Dance Meter. Step anything but a MARVELLOUS, PERFECT,GREAT, or OK and you lose one of your four lives. Lose all four and it's game over. After passing a song, you gain back all lives you lost. This is the "Oni" style of play. After that, you'll select your course. Each course has two difficulties: Normal and Difficult, and you can select options for the course as well, if the course allows it. Your score is tallied as normal, regardless of which meter you selected, but you get a secondary score which relates to how well you were stepping: MARVELLOUS: 3 points PERFECT: 2 points GREAT: 1 point OK (Freeze Arrow): 3 points Everything Else: 0 points At the end of your play, your score is ranked next to the maximum possible score. Also available is a "Create Your Own Course". You may create ten of your own courses using the "ORDER" slots. They all start at RANDOM and four songs long on Standard, but you can change any of these attributes, including options in each of the songs. Courses List First is a rather uninspired set of five courses all using default songs, and all available to you by default. After that, you need to earn the courses by unlocking them through the Shop. * #1: Super Star 1 * Norm. Diff. 1. Wonderful Night LGT(6) STD(8) 2. Block Rockin' Beats LGT(3) STD(6) 3.

The object of this mode is to play for as long as possible on a standard Dance Meter. You'll begin by selecting your style. Only Single and Double plays are available for this mode. After that, you'll make your Endless Settings: Step: Select your difficulty - Beginner, Light, Standard, Heavy, or Random. Break Stage: Set a break stage after a certain number of songs. Select Options: Pick your step options as you would in normal play. Music Program: Set your program of songs that you wish to play, if you wish to only include or disclude particular songs. ==============9.3 - Survival============== To unlock this mode, you must purchase all 50 locked songs from the Shop. This mode is similar to Endless Mode, only instead of a Dance Meter, you have a Challenge Meter with four lives. You'll still be able to select style (Single or Double) and your difficulty (Beginner, Light, Standard, Heavy, or All). So, just ignore that gigantic clock in the middle of the screen. ====================9.4 - Combo Challenge===================== To unlock this mode, you must purchase all 50 locked songs from the Shop. This mode is similar to Endless Mode, only instead of a Dance Meter, you have to keep a combo running. As soon as you break combo, the game's over. You'll still be able to select style (Single or Double) and your difficulty (Beginner, Light, Standard, Heavy, or All). And, for your reference, you have a gigantic combo meter in the center of the screen. 10) DANCE MASTER MODE This is now considered the "true" single-player experience for the home DDR. Playing through these missions is essential to cement your status as a masterful DDR player. Okay. Bad news first. This is the faster way to access new songs/courses/costumes/etc. for purchase in the Shop. You can also unlock stuff through Free Play for Advanced, but it's a lot slower. The good news is that any songs and courses you play all the way through will be saved as records, so you won't have to worry about doing it later. As you may expect, what you need to do is play through every one of these missions and meet their conditions for passing to unlock more. There are four types of missions: 1. Yellow Border - Normal Mission. Has standard set of requirements, for the most part. 2. Red Border - Special Mission. Most of these are necessary to "complete" an area and unlock another. Completing these will earn you the song or course you played in the shop. Also, you'll get a "prize" for completing any of these. 3. Green Border - Course Mission. You'll need to play through a series of songs to pass the mission. 4. Blue Border - Handicap Mission. You're required NOT to step on certain arrows for the course of this mission. Looking at a mission will give you the mission's name (a letter, then a number), and the song/course you'll be playing, and its step difficulty. There's a meter giving you the mission's general difficulty from 1 to 10. Beneath the song's graphic is a green meter showing how much of the song you'll be playing (which is most often the entire song). Also noted on each mission panel is the Dance Meter you'll be using (Normal or Challenge, with the number of lives), then the missions attempts and successes. On the bottom of the panel are two icons. The one on the left (the arrow) is lit up when certain options are activated. The one on the right (the star) is lit up when you have a challenge besides just passing the song. Lastly, the panel (as well as the small square for each mission) has a symbol based on your status on it: An X: You've attempted but haven't passed the mission. Silver Star: You've passed the mission. Red Star: You've fully passed the mission. For most missions, this requires you to pass with a full combo. For missions that prevent you from getting a full combo, just passing it will give you a red star. Now, this is how I've arranged them below: Mission #: Mission Difficulty UNLOCK: (mission required to unlock this one) Song/Course: (What you're playing in this mission) Diff.: (The difficulty of song you're playing) Section: (The section of the song you're playing. I haven't listed it if you're playing the whole song.) Options: (Any of the options turned on for this mission.) Challenge: (What you're required to do to complete the mission. I haven't listed it if all you have to do is pass the song.) Secret Challenge: (What you need to do to unlock hidden missions.) Extra Arrow: 30 of these missions have an invisible Extra Arrow, which, if you hit it, will give you 1000 extra Shop Points. I point out where in the mission it is. Reward: (If you get the song/purchase after passing the mission.) As one final note, I'd like to point out that for any mission that gives you a score threshold, you should know that that means the score AFTER the bonus, so remember that it applies and brings a potential seven million up to ten million. 10.1 - AREA A To begin with, the game will force you what Missions you'll be able to select. You'll begin only being able to select 1 or 2, then 3 or 4, and so on, up until the seventh and eighth missions. Once you pass one of those, you have access to the whole grid and may play any missions in the area you wish. I shouldn't have to tell you that these first missions are total cakewalks.

Just hammer on one or two arrows as much as you can, but AVOID all the actual arrow steps. If you get anything but Boos, you fail, but stepping on nothing will actually get you a point. Personally, I like to focus on the left and right arrows, since they seem to be avoided for this song. Also, jumps don't count unless you step on both, so you're allowed to hit one of the two arrows in a jump and not fail. You need 150 points to pass this mission. C-26: ||||......

UNLOCK: C-22 (Secret) or X-18 (Secret) Song: ABSOLUTE (Cuff-N-Stuff it Mix) Diff.: STD (6) Reward: This song for purchase (4000) X-20: ||||......

SECRET CHALLENGE: Pass with a score of more than 36 million. Reward: This course for purchase (3000) X-22: ||||||.... UNLOCK: C-33 (Secret) Song: SAKURA Diff.: STD (8)EXTRA ARROW: It's in the beginning somewhere, and it's a left arrow between the second and third beat. Just keep tapping left as the song starts. If you hit arrows, you've gone too far and should start over. Notes: Sorry, but you do NOT get to unlock SAKURA after passing this. Thatcomes later. X-23: ||||||.... UNLOCK: D-4 (Secret) or D-16 (Secret) Song: INJECTION OF LOVE (HINA MIX) Diff.: HVY (7) Reward: This song for purchase (4000) X-24: ||||||.... UNLOCK: D-10 (Secret) Song: BOOM BOOM DOLLAR (K.O.G G3 MIX) Diff.: STD (7) Challenge: Get a max combo of 110 or more. SECRET CHALLENGE: Get a max combo of 200 EXACTLY. Notes: Okay. Here's how I do the secret. There are 246 steps, right? One would think to shoot for 200 then jump out on the 201st, but that step's in the middle of one really long stream, making it really tough to pin down. What I suggest is to get a 45 combo, then not get the 46th (which is the last of a three note stream), and then get all the rest of the steps, making 200 at the very end. Either way is tough, of course. X-25: |||||||... UNLOCK: D-14 (Secret) Song: TOMORROW Diff.: HVY (7) Challenge: Get a grade of A or higher. X-26: ||||||.... UNLOCK: D-12 (Secret) or D-26 (Secret) Song: MARIA (I believe...) Diff.: HVY (7) Options: Marvellous Step On Challenge: Pass the song with more MARVELLOUS ratings than PERFECTs or GREATs combined. SECRET CHALLENGE: Get more than 200 MARVELLOUSes. Pretty darn tough, as there are less than 277 steps and getting a MARVELLOUS isn't as easy as a PERFECT. X-27: |||||||... UNLOCK: X-24 (Secret) *COURSE* Course: Japanese POPS Diff.: Normal Challenge: Standard "Challenge" rules apply. No more than three GOODs, Almosts, Boos, or NG's for each song.

SECRET CHALLENGE: Get a grade of AA or higher. X-29: |||||||... UNLOCK: Purchase Selection 7 after D-28, X-02, X-05, and X-16 Song: PARANOIA survivor Diff.: HVY (10) Notes: Good luck to you. It's slower than any MAX song, so you've got that going for you, but it's still really hard. Reward: This song for purchase (20000) X-30: |||||||... UNLOCK: Purchase Selection 6 after X-25 *COURSE* Course: RMX of TRUTH 2 Diff.: Normal Challenge: Standard "Challenge" rules apply. No more than three GOODs, Almosts, Boos, or NG's for each song.

UNLOCK: E-04 (Secret) Song: BOOM BOOM DOLLAR (K.O.G G3 MIX) Diff.: HVY (8) Options: Brake Challenge: Pass the song with no more than one GOOD, Almost, or Boo. Notes: The "Brake" option is a reverse Boost. Instead of speeding up, the arrows slow down as they approach the Step Zone. This a VERY difficult song for this option to be on. All I can say is to memorize the Heavy chart as well as you can, because the streams go all over the place. X-35: ||||||||.. UNLOCK: E-03 (Secret) Song: DAIKENKAIDiff.: CHA (8) Challenge: Get 8 million points or more. X-36: |||||||... UNLOCK: Purchase Selection 9 after X-35 and finding all 30 Extra Arrows.

EXTRA ARROW: Measure 35, a down arrow between the second and third beat.The previous measure has a right, up-down jump, right, left-down jump, and the measure of has right/left/down, then right/down/left, so the addition of the extra arrow makes it right/left/down/down/right/down/left. THE LAST: |||||||||. UNLOCK: Complete all other missions, including extras. Song: butterfly (UPSWING MIX) Diff.: CHA (9) Options: Reverse, Boost, Custom Arrow 4 (butterflies) Challenge: Get a full combo on this, the final mission. Reward: 500,000 Shop Points, Mission Mode Credits 11) OTHER MODES Here are the rest of the game modes. 11.1 - Workout Mode This mode allows you to observe the calories melting away as you dance. Workout Setting Weight: Set this and the amount of calories burned will be slightly changed to reflect your weight.Menu: Set to "Play Time" to play a specific amount of time. Set to "Calories Burned" and you'll play until you reach that number of calories. Set to "Program" and you can set your own workout course (like a Nonstop). "No Setting" will let you have no restrictions. Goal: Set to minutes if "Play Time" is on Menu, and to a calorie amount if "Calories Burned is on Menu. Workout Step: With this on, the steps will be set to "Little". Simultaneous Step: Turning this off will remove jumps. Program: Select Free to have the normal song list, or Course to access some preset courses the game gives you, or courses you can order yourself. Workout Results After every song (or at the end of your program), you'll see a Workout Results screen where you can see your calorie-related results. Press Circle to see them charted in relation to other day's workouts. 11.2 - Lesson Mode Select this to learn basic lessons about DDR. An onscreen character will guide you, and you have to match what it does. "For Beginners" is largely basic steps. "For Regular Players" will throw in some different kinds of movements. "Fancy Footwork" will throw eighth notes into the mix as well as some fancy moves. 11.3 - Training Mode Select this to pick songs and tackle them on your own terms. Start by selecting a song, then you'll go to the menu screen, where you can select the mode (Single, Versus, Double), its difficulty, any song options you want (as detailed in the How To Dance section far above), and you may put in any Edit Data you wish. In addition (unlike other modes of gameplay), you can set Assist, which allows you to play with any combination of the music, a metronome (which marks standard quarter note beats), and a handclap (which claps whenever there's an arrow). Also, you can set the "Music Speed". Unlike the song option called Speed, this actually changes how fast the song goes. It's good for taking fast songs at speeds you can manage. Adjusting this to a lower amount will automatically turn off the music, so you'll need to set the metronome or handclap on if you want something in the background. Finally, you can set what measure the song begins and ends. The "Start" function below it will allow you to quickly change between the measures you select and the whole song. 11.4 - Edit ModeWell, I'm not gonna go through all the possibilities that Edit Mode offers here. Honestly, if you're serious about Editing, you'll probably know to read the instructions on this one. Seriously, there's too much info about it for me to justify making a section for it. 12) ONLINE PLAY Well, I don't have a broadband adapter for my PS2, and no real desire to get one. However, I will say that this is a very bare-bones setup for online play. You can't pick who you play, and you can't pick your song, either. However, this is an essential first step for online Playstation DDR play. 13) SHOP Okay. EVERYTHING unlockable in this game has to come through here. It's not enough just to trigger the unlock. You'll need the requisite number of Shop Points to actually be able to use it. 13.1 - Shop Point Formula Okay, every song you play starts you with a base amount of Shop Points. How you step changes the amount of points you have, and when you finish the song, the Shop Points you've earned are put into your main "account". While you can be reduced to 0 points in a song, you can never reduce the amount in your account just through play. How many points you start with and can earn are based on the step difficulty you choose, and the foot rating difficulty. Beginner/Light: BEG: 700 LGT 2: 680 LGT 3: 720 LGT 4: 760 LGT 5: 800 LGT 6: 840 PERFECT: +1 GREAT: +1 GOOD: 0 Almost: 0 Boo: 0 OK: +1 NG: 0 Standard: STD 4: 480 STD 5: 500 STD 6: 520 STD 7: 540 STD 8: 560 PERFECT: +2 GREAT: +2 GOOD: 0 Almost: -10 Boo: -20 OK: +2 NG: -20 Heavy/Challenge: HVY 6: 220 HVY 7: 240 HVY 8: 260 HVY 9: 280 HVY 10: 300 CHA 7: 290 CHA 8: 310 CHA 9: 330 CHA 10!: 350 PERFECT: +3 GREAT: +2 GOOD: 0 Almost: -30 Boo: -60 OK: +3 NG: -20 Course All courses give a set amount of points for each song you play, which doesn't change no matter how well or poorly you do. You earn those points for each song you pass, even if you don't complete the entire course. Normal Dance Meter: 800 per song Challenge Meter: 1000 per song 13.2 - Music I've ordered these all as you find them in Dance Master Mode, as that is the quickest way to unlock them. If you keep playing in Free Play or Advanced Mode, you may find more popping up, but these are the quickest. I've ordered them by Area, with the X missions thrown into their respective nearby areas.

Just play any five missions as a character and their second outfit will be available for purhcase: J.C.: 200000 SA-JA: 200000 All other characters: 100000 Yeah. I suggest taking all those last as stuff to get after unlocking everything else. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: 13.5 - InformationThere are two types of things to purchase in this section: Extra Arrows: These arrows are invisible, and are inserted into Missions. Hitting any Extra Arrow immediately gives you 1000 Shop Points. As far as I know, there is no reward for hitting all 30. Once you pass a Mission that has an Extra Arrow, the hint for it will be up for grabs for 1000 points. This hint gives you a two measure spread, pointing out the arrow inthe My Room section. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: If you wish to know where in the song each of these are, go to the DanceMaster section for the Mission indicated. All of them cost 1000 points. Arrow 01: A-05 Arrow 02: X-02 More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Arrow 03: B-12 Arrow 04: B-06 Arrow 05: B-11 Arrow 06: B-15 Arrow 07: X-04 Arrow 08: B-30 Arrow 09: B-33 More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Arrow 10: B-42 Arrow 11: B-37 Arrow 12: C-30 Arrow 13: C-09 Arrow 14: C-10 Arrow 15: C-15Arrow 16: C-17 More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Arrow 17: C-22 Arrow 18: C-14 Arrow 19: C-31 Arrow 20: X-22 Arrow 21: D-07 Arrow 22: D-08 Arrow 23: D-14 Arrow 24: D-23 Arrow 25: D-24 Arrow 26: D-32 More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Arrow 27: D-40 Arrow 28: D-45 Arrow 29: E-02 Arrow 30: X-37 Hints: These are basic hints which give you clues on how to do Secret Challenges in Dance Master Mode to unlock Hidden Missions. I'm not sure how they're unlocked to be available for purchase, but meeting their requirements before buying them will give them to you for free. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Hints cost between 1000 and 3000. I don't know the whole price list, because of the free ones I got, but it's not really important for something that cheap. Here's the full list: Hint 01: B-06 - Get a grade of A or higher. Hint 02: B-30 - Do not get more than 6.5 million points. Hint 03: A-05 - Get a grade of AA or higher. More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: Hint 04: B-34 - Get 30 million points or more.

By the way, these are NOT all the Secret Challenges in the game. If any other Missions have Secret Challenges, I list them in that mission. 13.6 - Custom More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: So far as I can tell, these are just a set of three new arrow types to use in the game, if you wish. They seem to pop up at random, except for Arrow 4, which I got after Mission B-07. They each cost 2000 to switch to them, then another 100 to switch back toArrow 1, the regular arrows. Arrow 2: Gradius ships Arrow 3: Chevrons Arrow 4: Butterflies More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips: 13.7 - Other Here's where you purchase all the rest of the junk. Selections: There are hidden Missions that can only be purchased from the store. The first Mission number is the Mission you unlock by purchasing that selection, and the one under "Mission Unlock" is the mission you need to pass for it to become available (I think). Here are the ones I have so far. Selection 1 (X-08) More Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Tips:Price: 3000 Mission Unlock: B-21 Selection 2 (X-06) Price: 3000 Mission Unlock: B-12?

Hi and Konnichi wa! 
You have to trust your own feet and your burning soul. However, I will, in this FAQ, give you the heads-up on what the songs are, where they come from, and a few tips to get you ready for tackling them.
