You do the math... This FAQ is only to cover what is different between this DDR and the others. ************************************************ How to Play DDR ************************************************ DDR: Disney's Rave - This is the original Japanese release of the game. The songs were a good mix between older popular American songs and of course classic Disney tunes. Dancing Stage feat. Mickey - This is the European release of the game. A lot of the classic American songs were cut and a few Disney ones as well. DDR: Disney Mix - This is the American relesae of the game. Again, a lot of the classic American songs were cut but they were replaced by some of the songs on other versions of DDR that haven't been released here, mostly 4th Mix. Also, Maniac versions of the songs were added for this version. To get these, just beat all the songs on Trick difficulty. ************************************************ Main Menu ************************************************ -Main Game: The crux of the game.

In this mode, players share a single lifebar. As one player does better than the other, he/she slowly gains more and more of the lifebar. The winner of the round is the person with the most of the bar at the end of the song. In order to make things harder on your opponent, you can use Dance Magic. Each player has a gauge in the center of the screen. The bar fills as you keep a combo going. Once you fill it up, you'll do an attack randomly on your opponent, known as Dance Magic. These attacks can do anything from add more arrows to their screen, speed the arrows up, or make them all but vanish, to name a few. The gauge has three levels, with the level growing if you're doing well. Usually the best attacks for your character are on level 3. A list of all the different types of Dance Magic follows: Hidden: Arrows disappear about halfway up the screen. Insert Type A: Inserts step randomly between two steps. Insert Type B: Inserts steps next to each step to make you step with both feet. Insert Type C: Inserts steps so eighth steps appear consecutively. Insert Type D: Inserts two eighth steps between normal steps. Insert Type E: Inserts another of the same step right after each step. Insert Type F: Inserts steps similar to type C. Left Flip: Arrows flip left 90 degrees where they'd normally be. Mirror: Arrows opposite of what they'd normally be. Right Flip: Arrows flip right 90 degrees where they'd normally be. Speed x 0.5: Arrows go half their normal speed. Speed x 1.5: Arrows go 1.5 times their normal speed. Speed x 2: Arrows go double their normal speed. Sudden: Arrows appear about halfway up the screen. Super Hidden: Arrows disappear about 1/4 up the screen. Super Sudden: Arrows appear about 3/4 up the screen. Each character has a card to represent them, and each card has a listing of nine Dance Magics on it, 3 for each level. When the gauge fills, you'll do one of the three attacks for that level. Here's a listing of each set of DJs and their cards: DJ Mickey Mouse: Lv1: Speed x 1.5 Insert Type A Mirror Lv2: Speed x 0.5 Insert Type E Insert Type D Lv3: Speed x 2 Insert Type D Insert Type C DJ Donald Duck: Lv1: Mirror Insert Type B Sudden Lv2: Speed x 0.5 Insert Type B Hidden Lv3: Speed x 0.5 Insert Type B Super Hidden DJ Goofy: Lv1: Speed x 1.5 Left Turn Right Turn Lv2: Speed x 2 Insert Type E Mirror Lv3: Speed x 2 Insert Type E Insert Type C DJ Brothers Chip 'N' Dale: Lv1: Insert Type A Left Turn Right Turn Lv2: Insert Type B Insert Type E Mirror Lv3: Insert Type C Insert Type D Insert Type F DJ Kids Huey, Dewey, Louie: Lv1: Mirror Left Turn Right Turn Lv2: Speed x 1.5 Mirror Sudden Lv3: Speed x 2.0 Super Hidden Super Sudden DJ Pluto: Lv1: Insert A Insert Type E Mirror Lv2: Speed x 1.5 Insert Type F Sudden Lv3: Speed x 1.5 Insert Type D Super Sudden After selecting your DJ, you can set a handicap then select a song and go to town. ************************************************ Lesson ************************************************ Just for kicks, here's a list of what each lesson teaches you.
