DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION EXTREME - Hidden Features ------------------------------------------------ FAQ by Jeffrey Paine (UseMyExciter, DDRJeffP) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- TBLC - Table of Contents -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- TBLC - Table of Contents INTR - Introduction NRML - Normal Unlocks PNTX - Point Explanation UNLC - About Unlock Levels SNGS - Songs Needed For All Unlock Levels... STSF - When Normal And Special Unlock Conditions Are Satisfied Simultaneously... DNCR - Dancer Unlocks HLST - Hidden Features List THNK - Special Thanks -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- INTR - Introduction -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This is copied from the official DDREX website, I just did the translation online and made it readable (so you can understand "The intense ogre clearing with ranking A cancellations hiding"). As far as I know, the information is correct, but please e-mail me if you have any corrections. My e-mail is: d + d + r + j + e + f + f + p + @ + g + m + a + i + l + . + c + o + m (without the spaces and plusses and stuff). I write it like this to cut down on spam, even though my e-mail already has a very effective built-in spam blocker. This FAQ is 100% Printer Friendly(C)(R)TM! LEGAL STUFF: Blah blah, don't copy without my permission, blah blah. Actually, if you just ask, I'll be happy to give you permission, as long as you give me credit (either as Jeffrey Paine, UseMyExciter, or DDRJeffP). VERSION 1.0 - First version as originally posted on GameFAQs forums. LAST UPDATED: 12/26/2003. Merry Christmas everyone! VERSION 1.01 - Changed all tabs to spaces, so now most everyone should be able to read this FAQ. Also added some basic stuff I forgot to leave out. VERSION 2.0 - Well, I found a website that had some information on it, and I was wrong on some things. Those were fixed. LAST UPDATED: 12/26/2003. Not a typo. VERSION 3.0 - Updated some more stuff. This should be the last time I update, unless something else comes up. LAST UPDATED: 12/30/2003. This is probably the final version. VERSION 3.01 - Changed Oni Mode to Challenge Mode, like it calls it in the game. VERSION 3.51 - Fixed a typo, added some ASCII art, and made it more printer friendly. VERSION 3.52 - Fixed a formatting error. VERSION 3.53 - 3 years later, I made some minor edits. Yeah, boring, I know. I didn't bother to fix all the lame crap I wrote back when I was 13, though, so I kind of sound like a loser in this guide. VERSION 3.54 - I screwed up the formatting. Should be fixed now. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- NRML - Normal Unlocks -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Normal unlocks are unlocked by clearing songs. Every time you clear a certain predetermined amount of songs, you get a point. When you get enough points for a normal unlock, another feature becomes available. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- PNTX - Point Explanation -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------------------------------- |Normal Game Mode|1 point for every song | -------------------------------------------- |Challenge Mode |1 point for every 4 songs| -------------------------------------------- |Nonstop Mode |1 point for every 4 songs| -------------------------------------------- Usually, a new feature becomes unlocked after 7 points have been accumulated. However, for the first 7 normal unlocks, only 5 points are needed to unlock a new feature. Difficulty does not affect how many points you get. Once you unlock a normal unlock, your point counter resets to 0. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- UNLC - About Unlock Levels -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Each normal unlock is assigned to a group called an "unlock level." (Unlock levels range from Lv. 1 to Lv. 44.) Usually, the hidden feature with the lowest unlock level will be unlocked next. However, there are certain conditions where you can unlock a feature in a higher unlock level that normal. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- SNGS - Songs Needed For All Unlock Levels... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 5 points x 7 songs + 7 points x (44-7) songs = 294 points required. In other words, to clear all unlock levels in Game Mode, you have to clear 294 songs. Since some unlock levels can be cleared out of order, you may not have to pass this many songs. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- STSF - When Normal And Special Unlock Conditions Are Satisfied Simultaneously... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The "special unlock condition" lets you clear multiple unlock levels simultaneously. In other words... 1. Unlock Lv. 1 with the special unlock condition 2. Unlock Lv. 2 with the normal unlock condition Since both conditions were satisfied, you unlock two features at the same time. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- DNCR - Dancer Unlocks -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Dancers are not unlocked with normal or special unlocks. Dancers appear after unlocking "Dancer Options" (Lv. 1). When a Nonstop course is cleared for the first time, two random dancers will be unlocked. A breakdown of the dancers is below. -------------------------------------------- |Default Dancers |4 dancers | -------------------------------------------- |Normal hidden dancers |50 dancers (25 x 2)| -------------------------------------------- |Special hidden dancers|4 dancers | -------------------------------------------- | |58 dancers total | -------------------------------------------- Special hidden dancers are unlocked with the conditions below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |1.|2MB |Play Max.
