If not, maybe you've seen it in the arcade and think it looks like a blast (and, yes, it is) and wanted to read up on it before making the first attempt. That's cool, too. Either way, this section is here to explain Dance Dance Revolution, along with a little history lesson. Dance Dance Revolution is, as the name implies, a dancing game where you follow the arrows onscreen with your feet, forming the illusion that you're "dancing". Unfortunately, for many players it looks more like shuffling your feet around with your arms like logs of wood on your sides. The dancing is, obviously, always accompanied by music. The songs range from Latino (Samba Da Janeiro) to techno (Paranoia Evolution) to hip-hop (My Baby Mama) to...well, you get the point. The songs in DDR are so unique and varied that you may never find two songs that sound similiar. For the sake of freshness, this is a good thing. Dance Dance Revolution is a game for anyone with sharp reflexes, agility, and a will to have fun and show off. ( H O W D O I P L A Y ? ) While DDR may seem complex while watching a high-level player strut his/her stuff, the basic concept is pretty simple. |------------------| | /\ | | / \ | | / \ | (DIAGONAL LEFT) | /__ __\ | (DIAGONAL RIGHT) SOLO MIXES ONLY! | || | SOLO MIXES ONLY! | || | | | |------------------| (up arrow) |------------------| The center of the mat |------------------| | | rests here. A common | | | | mistake beginners make | | | /| | is to constantly re- | |\ | | / -------- | locate their feet to | -------- \ | | \ -------- | the center square. | -------- / | | \| | Start out on the right | |/ | | | track and keep your | | |------------------| feet on the arrows! |------------------| (left arrow) (right arrow) |------------------| | | | || | | __||__ | | \ / | | \ / | | \ / | | \/ | |------------------| (down arrow) That's the basic layout of a DDR pad. To play the game, you must hit the arrows on the pad in accordance to the scrolling arrows on the monitor. You step on them exactly as they make contact with the stationary arrows at the top of the screen. Simple, eh? Now that you know the basic concept of DDR, you should be ready to tackle the different ratings Solo 2000 gives out. These appear after each step, and heavily affect your grade at the end of the level. RATINGS: PERFECT! Simply a perfect step. You hit the arrow at EXACTLY the right time, and will be rewarded properly; getting a PERFECT! will raise the life bar at the top of the screen a couple of points every time. GREAT! Also a fantastic step. This will raise your bar a tad, and will be the rating you get most often as you are beginning. Getting this means you stepped just before or just after you were supposed to. Nothing to be ashamed of. GOOD This is where it starts to get foul. Getting a GOOD rating is nothing to be proud of, and really not necessarily good. This means your step was a bit off, and by getting this your life bar remains untouched. However, it is much better than... BOO! Well, obviously...BOO! isn't good. This lowers your life bar a little. This is probably the rating you will get least. You barely made the step to get this. MISS You oughta be ashamed! ;) Getting a MISS is a sad, embarrassing thing, but it does happen. It lowers your life bar quite a bit, and you will often hear DDRers exclaiming curses if they get one. Ah, well. With successive PERFECT! or GREAT! steps, you will start to get combos. You should make it a goal to get the highest combos possible. Not only does it make the game more fun, but it also raises your grade a bit at the end! Oh, what's a grade, you ask? GRADES: AAA-The best grade in the game, period. You didn't get anything less than perfects and maybe one great the entire time, and kept a combo throughout the entire song. You should be proud; this grade is very, very rare. AA-Also a very prestigious grade, a "AA" means that you most likely kept a combo through most of the level, with probably no misses and tons of perfects. A-An "A" is a great grade to have, especially on harder Maniac songs. You had mostly greats and perfects, and maybe a few boos and goods, with a possible couple of misses. B-Think of it as a "B" in school...you can accept it, but you'd much rather have an "A". You probably didn't have a great combo or anything, but still a lot of perfects and greats, and also a lot of goods. A few misses are also plausible. C-Not too great a score, a "C" is middle-of-the-road average. A lot of goods, a lot of greats, but not necessarily a lot of perfects. This could also mean that you had tons of perfects but then a long section of accidental misses. D-Terrible grade. You scraped by barely, with more misses than a bad Michael Jackson album. Tons of misses and boos, but enough goods, greats, and perfects to make sure you passed with a low, low life bar. Not a grade to be proud of, by any means. E-You suck. That's about it. At the end of each level you are presented with your grade, and your percentages for each rating. You know how to play DDR now (though I'm sure you could've figured it out on your own). Let's move on. ( S O L O 2 0 0 0 D I F F E R E N C E S ) Quite a few things are different in Solo 2000 from the other mixes. In fact, to DDR regs, a first-time experience with this game might be kind of bewildering. Here are some major noticeable differences: THE ANNOUNCER The announcer in DDR Solo 2000 is no longer a male. He has been replaced by a female that spouts off phrases like "Ugh! You can't handle this" and "That was the best dance I've ever seen!". THE ARROWS The most exciting addition to Solo 2000 is the addition of two diagonal arrows, located to the left and right of the up arrow. Because of these, the game features two new modes: 3-PANEL A watered-down version of DDR's normal gameplay, 3-Panel play is pointless and misleading. It won't help you start out, and will only make you worse. Don't bother playing it even as a joke. 6-PANEL This is more like it. Many expert players love 6-Panel because it is so different in comparison to 4-Panel. In this mode, 6 arrows appear on the screen instead of just four, and it changes the placement of the left and right arrows around a bit. This is pretty disorienting and complicated at first for a 4-Panel vet, but in the end pretty rewarding; 6-Panel is mcuh more impressive than 4-Panel could ever be. THE MACHINE There is no second mat, meaning no doubles, no couples, no battles. The game IS called "Solo 2000" for a reason, you know. :) THE INTERFACE The arrows are now centered in the middle of the screen instead of to the left, and are a bit bigger. There are no characters dancing with you on the screen, only a lot of kaleidoscope-like backgrounds. Also, the songs are selected from a large list right off the bat, and a code raises songs from BASIC to TRICK or MANIAC difficulty. To do this, press Down Down for harder difficulties or Up Up for easier ones. ( T I P S F O R B E G I N N E R S ) Ah, newbies. Most despise them, but I welcome them with open arms. Why? Because there is so much obvious potential in a new DDR player, and so much ambition. Whereas an expert player isn't really jumping up and down to play DDR constantly, beginners usually discover it and play it CONSTANTLY. It becomes a total obsession. I'm speaking from experience here. Unfortunately, when I first began, I made a LOT of stylistic mistakes, and had a terrible technique. Therefore, this section is to help you, the newbie, get to know your feet and reflexes. 1. OH NICK PLEASE KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE ARROWS Okay, cheesy name, but I can't stress this enough: DON'T PUT YOUR FEET IN THE CENTER SQUARE. IT IS NOT NECESSARY. THIS ISN'T FIRST MIX, THERE IS NO OUCH, JUST KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE FRIGGING ARROWS OR YOU'LL BE PLAYING BASIC FOREVER. That's a bit harsh, sure. But it's absolutely true. You can't pass a Maniac song by moving your foot to the center square after every step. This also looks terrible. There is no harm in staying positioned on left and right, and this will allow you to speedily move from one arrow to another. This is easily the most important thing to keep in mind as you start out. 2. KNOW YOUR WEAKNESSES Everyone is an awful Dance Dance player at first. It's not in our genes to be able to pass an 8-foot Maniac song on first try. Start out with the only one-footer on the game: "I'm Alive", and then a 2-foot song. Slowly build your skill. Find a technique that works for you. Decide whether you want to be a freestyler or a perfect attacker, or both. These are all necessary elements in becoming a great DDRer. 3. PUSH YOURSELF This is so important. There is a guy that goes to our arcade (who will remain nameless) that has been playing as long as I have. He plays ONLY 4- and 5-foot Basic songs. He passes them with AAs and sometimes even AAAs. It's sad. The guy has a lot of potential, but is fearful of wasting a game on trying to get better. You just can't do that, folks. Want to know how to be great? Play a Trick song with your last token. Don't be afraid to fail. How do you start playing Maniac songs? You pick a Maniac song. It's all a matter of practicing and tackling the tough stuff. That's it. Of course, these tips are very basic. Find ways to improve yourself and don't be afraid to get obsessed for three weeks or so-- I did, and it made me a better player than I ever could have imagined. It also emptied my wallet. :) **************** t w o * THE SONGS * t w o **************** ( S O N G L I S T ) This is simply a very generic song list. It has the foot number for each song on each mode, and the artist that performed the song. They are divided by Konami Original Mixes and Dancemania songs. Number of feet for each song are indicated by ">>>>" marks. For example, Superstar Basic would be a ">>>>>", or five-footer. Note that these are for 4-Panel mode only. 3-and 6-panel charts are coming next update. A.

He plays DDR in Texarkana, Texas, at the Silverball Game Room at the Central Mall. The place has a Solo 2000 and 3rd Mix Plus machine, so yes! He formerly could be found playing Maniac songs on Solo 2000, but can now be found making a fool of himself on Afronova Basic Double whilst Cody laughs at him. He also plays Tekken 4 there. If you see a normal looking guy with average-length brown hair and moderately sized pants playing 3rd Mix with a big group of people, it's him... He's also written a Darius Force FAQ and started a dozen other FAQs that never left the planning/ASCII art stages. Oh well, what can you do? (Logan enjoys writing about himself in third person) ( T H A N K S ) -Cody, Steven, Justin, Randall, uh...the rest of you guys...you make DDR fun and yay-worthy. -CJayC, because he posted this. -Konami, for making neat Bemani games and being the overall best software developer out there. -Silverball, for putting up with the stink bombs and other freakish antics. -The crowds at Silverball, for being a crowd and looking interested. ( V E R S I O N H I S T O R Y ) VERSION 1: 10/30/01 I did everything except the song strategies, which will be pretty dang big. The next version just might be the final version, but it will be a pretty huge update. 1.1 will probably be coming in a few days when the corrections, tips, etcetera come pouring in. ( C O P Y R I G H T I N F O ) Take a deep breath. Ready? Don't EVER, EVER use my documents without my permission you sleazy, sleazy man, and don't even THINK about putting it on your site without ASKING first. I will be VERY upset if ANYONE plagiarizes off me...why? Because it's not cool at ALL, and a LOT of hard work went into making this document, you silly, silly fool. Heh, just kidding, sort of...but seriously, e-mail mitsishima@aol.com telling me what you want and why...and with the site that you're putting this on. Okay? Deal? Yeah? Every song in the game and the lyrics in the FAQ are property of the person that wrote them and the company that owns them. I have nothing to do with them except being a fan. Okay? Yeah.
