Purpose of this Guide ------------------------------ I created this guide to help new players of Dance Dance Revolution KONAMIX. It lists the different songs and their difficulties, tips on becoming better, and more information to assist the new user. ------------------------------- 1. How To Play DDR / Controls ------------------------------- Dance Dance Revolution can be played in two ways. Playing the home version of DDR, you can use the controller, as well as the pad. However, the songs in the game were made for dancing to, and to fully enjoy the experience you should use the dance pad, which is sold separately. Prices range from $10-$50. You should try to choose a pad that matches you. Soft pads are easier to transport, but can bend easily and can get scrunched up during play. Metal pads don't move easily, but it's difficult to carry around. Choose the pad that's best for you. DDR involves stepping (or pressing) on arrows as they move past a flashing bar on the screen. The game requires good coordination and rhythm. There are different difficulties for each song, which are refered to as "feet". The easiest songs are 1 foot, while the hardest are 9. During the different versions of DDR, the rating system has changed a bit, but the system in Konamix is simple. **** CONTROLS **** -Dance Pad ________________________ | SELECT \_______/ START | | | / \ | _ | | \/ |/_ _\| | | | | /\ | |__| | |_| | |_______|________|_______| | /|__ | | __|\ | | | __|| STAY ||__ | | | \| | COOL! | |/ | |_______|________|_______| | _ | __ | ___ | | / \ | _| |_ | | | | | /___\ | \ / | |___| | |_______|__\__/__|_______| Directional Arrows: Correspond to dance steps onscreen.

Game Modes ------------------------------ There are 6 main modes in DDR Konamix. Here is a brief description of each... GAME MODE: The main mode in the game, can be for one or two players. Press -> -> to access link mode, where you will find preset groups of songs for you to try. SOLO MODE: A mode meant for one person. Can use 4 or 6 arrows. Press -> -> to access link mode. WORKOUT MODE: A mode that keeps track of how many calories you burn using your weight. LESSON MODE: Teaches you the basics of DDR. TRAINING MODE: Gives you many different song options so you can get better at songs you have trouble on. EDIT MODE: Lets you create custom steps to songs that can be saved. ------------------------------ 3. Song Names + Difficulties ------------------------------ Note: Some of these songs must be unlocked first by passing 5 songs in a row. These songs are designated with a >. The name in the parentheses is the artist of the song. NOTE: Some songs do not have different steps for Solo Mode and instead use the same steps as the single mode (4 arrow).

If you don't you'll never get better. - Position yourself to perform complex step strings. - You don't need to face the screen the entire time. Memorize steps so you can go different directions. - Use Little (a difficulty modifier) to simplify the steps of songs. - You don't need to return your foot to the center of the pad each time. Feel free to move around the pad. - Use Edit Mode to make new steps to songs if you are having trouble. ------------------------------ 6.
