Dance Dance Revolution, or DDR (known as Dancing Stage in Europe) is a music video game series produced by Konami. It was first introduced to Japanese video arcades in 1998, after being shown at the Tokyo Game Show earlier that year. Since then, the game has gained significant popularity elsewhere in the world, including large portions of North America and Europe. As of 2005, over 90 official versions have been produced, including those for home video game consoles. The Dance Dance Revolution series is a subset of the larger Bemani series of music video games. Including the arcade release of SuperNOVA, there are exactly 950 songs released among all official arcade and console versions.

The game is played on a dance pad with four arrow panels: left, down, up, and right, or 6 arrows (the 4 main directions plus right and left diagonal panels, known as solo mode).These panels are pressed using the player's feet, in response to arrows that appear on the screen in front of the player. The arrows are synchronized to the general rhythm or beat of a chosen song, and success is dependent on the player's ability to time and position his or her steps accordingly.

Gameplay details

In Dance Dance Revolution, a player must move his or her feet to a set pattern, stepping in time to the general rhythm or beat of a song. During normal gameplay, arrows scroll upwards from the bottom of the screen and pass over stationary, transparent arrows near the top (referred to as the "guide arrows" or "receptors"). When the scrolling arrows overlap the stationary ones, he or she must step on the corresponding arrows on the dance platform. Successfully hitting the arrows in time with the music fills the "Dance Gauge", or life bar, while failure to do so drains it. If the Dance Gauge is fully depleted during gameplay, the player fails the song, usually resulting in a game over. Otherwise, the player is taken to the Results Screen, which rates the player's performance with a letter grade and a numerical score, among other statistics. The player may then be given a chance to play again, depending on the settings of the particular machine (the limit is usually 3-5 songs per game). Screenshot of Metal Gear Solid. ...

DDR is often criticized as being rigid and bearing little resemblance to actual dancing. Many players, in order to better focus on timing and pattern reading, will minimize any extraneous body movement during gameplay. These players are commonly referred to as "technical", "tech" or "perfect attack" (PA) players. However, there are those who prefer style over accuracy, and may incorporate complex or flashy techniques into their play movements. Some dedicated "freestyle" players will even develop intricate dance routines to perform during a song. Technical players will often practice the most difficult songs for extended periods of time, while freestyle players will choose songs on lower difficulty levels, as to accommodate their desires for easier movement.


Other modes

Several other gameplay modes have appeared throughout the DDR series.

  • Nonstop Mode, introduced in Dance Dance Revolution 3rdMIX, allows the player to play several songs in a row, with no rest period in between. The player chooses a particular Nonstop course to play, each course containing a predetermined order of songs. In 3rdMIX, the number of songs played is dependent on operator settings, but the mode later reappeared in DDR EXTREME with a fixed number of four songs.
  • DDRMAX2 introduced a more challenging variant of Nonstop mode, known as Challenging Mode or "Oni" Mode (referring to "demon" or "ogre" in the Japanese language). In this mode, a player chooses a predetermined set of songs, similar to Nonstop mode. These courses range from five to ten songs in arcade versions, and can reach upwards of twenty in home releases. Unlike Nonstop mode, a Dance Gauge is not used to determine whether the player continues to the next song. Instead, a battery divided into three segments is displayed at the top of the screen, with one segment disappearing every time the player scores less than a "Great" judgment, or receives an "N.G." on a freeze arrow. If one of these errors is made while the battery is empty, the player immediately fails the course. The battery is replenished upon successful completion of each song, although the amount given back is dependent on the unique settings of each course.
  • Another "Challenge Mode", unrelated to the "Oni" Challenging Mode, is only featured in certain home releases. Gameplay consists of several "challenges" that may be attempted one at a time. In each challenge, the player must complete a certain song or section of a song while meeting certain conditions, sometimes with various gameplay modifiers applied to the song. For example, some challenges may require the player to not hit Up and Down arrows, play one set of steps with the wrong song playing, or play with the music reduced to half speed. Challenges are grouped into several sets within each game, depending on their difficulty. This mode was renamed "Mission Mode" in later console releases in Japan, and "Dance Master" mode in the US. It is also called 'Steller Master Mode' in Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova.
  • Endless Mode is another mode exclusive to home versions. Similar to Nonstop Mode, this mode allows the player to play through numerous songs one after another. However, Endless Mode continues to queue up songs indefinitely, until the player quits or the Dance Gauge is depleted. The song order is random, but options are available to limit the songs to a certain difficulty or category. The player may also choose to have a break stage appear after a certain number of completed songs. Endless Mode became a standard unlockable mode in all DDR home releases after Konami's American arcade division shut down.
  • Event Mode is a game option whose function differs between arcade and home versions of DDR. On arcade machines, Event Mode is an operator setting that disables all menu timers, and also disables the "Extra Stage" on DDRMAX and above. A player will also not fail a song immediately even when their dance gauge drops to zero - instead, the song failure message occurs at the end of the song. This setting is used primarily in tournaments, to give judges more time to take an accurate tally of the players' Dance Points. In home versions, Event Mode (settable in the Options menu) returns players back to the song selection screen when they fail a song, and also after completing the normal number of stages. (All Xbox versions of DDR have Event Mode enabled by default.)
  • Extra Stage, introduced in DDRMAX and appearing in subsequent arcade versions, rewards a player for receiving a grade of "AA" or higher on the final stage. The player is consequenced with the opportunity to play a free extra song, which is often a very difficult song with difficult song modifiers, such as 1.5x, Reverse, Dark, and No Recovery (The Dance Gauge starts out full except that it cannot be refilled). A player who attains a grade of "AA" on the Extra Stage is invited to play "One More Extra Stage," which is usually a somewhat easier song, but with much more difficult modifiers such as "Dark" and "Sudden Death" (which, a single mistake will cause the player to fail the song).
  • Dance Magic is a competitive mode introduced in Dancing Stage: Mickey's Rave (a version of DDR featuring popular Disney songs). In this mode, the dance gauge is replaced by a single bar that starts evenly divided between the two players. As one player performs better than the other, that player will take over more of the bar. In addition, each player has an "attack gauge" that fills as the player hits their arrows and achieves streaks. When this gauge fills, a random attack is sent to the other player, usually causing a temporary change to their step pattern (a speed change, adding arrows not normally in the song, causing all steps to become jumps, enforcing Sudden or Hidden mode, etc.) and thus making their steps more difficult. Regardless of the technical accuracy of a player's performance, the player who holds the majority of the bar at the end of the song wins the round. This mode appears again in the arcade and PS2 versions of DDR SuperNOVA (renamed "Battle"), and also appears in the derivative game In The Groove as "Battle Mode" and in StepMania as Magic Dance.
  • A different mode appears in DDR 4th Mix, in which both players must dance to a special set of steps for a song. Steps are a single color (usually green) and fly out from the bottom-center of the screen to each player's guide arrows. Players are not necessarily guaranteed to have the same set of steps.
  • Unison is a two-player cooperative dance mode introduced in DDR 3rd Mix. Both players play a special set of steps on a single set of merged guide arrows. Players must hit the dance arrows according to their color: Yellow arrows must be hit by both players simultaneously, while red arrows are for the left player only and blue arrows are for the right.
  • Solo Mode is a mode unique to the DDR Solo series, in which two corner panels (top-left and top-right) are added to the standard orthogonal panels. The player must read and step according to six columns of arrows instead of the usual four.
  • Mush Mode, presented in DDR: Mario Mix, replaces arrows with goombas, koopa shells, Spinies (representing mines from In The Groove and StepMania) and other miscellaneous items and objects from the Mario series.

Versions

Dance Dance Revolution has been released in many forms, in arcades and on various video game consoles. Although the majority of these releases have been limited to Japan, localized versions of the game have been released in Europe, North America, South America, Korea, and other areas of Asia, to varying degrees of success. Japanese versions have also found their way outside the country through importing and bootlegging, especially in North America. According to popular fansite "DDRFreak", as of September 2005, more than 2100 arcade DDR machines exist in the United States, with over 25% of them located in California. video game consoles A video game console is an interactive entertainment computer. ...

The first game in the series was simply titled Dance Dance Revolution. Subsequent versions in the main line were released as "mixes" — for example, Dance Dance Revolution 4th Mix — and each release typically introduced new game modes (see above), a new main interface, and/or a new selection of songs. After 5th Mix, a sub-name was added to the DDR title — for example, Dance Dance Revolution MAX 2 — but was also referred to by its mix number (7th Mix in this case). The most recent version of the game is titled Dance Dance Revolution Universe.


During DDR's arcade span, several spin-off versions have also been released: Dancing Stage is the name of the series in Europe, and includes Dancing Stage: Mickey's Rave, a special version that includes techno and Eurobeat versions of popular Disney songs. A special single-player version titled Dance Dance Revolution Solo includes a modified dance stage with six pads (including pads on the upper-left and upper-right corners), and features gameplay with six arrows rather than the standard four.

Arcade machines

A standard Dance Dance Revolution arcade machine consists of two parts, the cabinet and the dance platform. The cabinet has a wide bottom section, which houses large floor speakers and glowing neon lamps. Above this sits a narrower section that contains the monitor, and on top is a lighted marquee graphic, with two small speakers and flashing lights on either side. Below the monitor are two sets of buttons (one for each player), each consisting of two triangular selection buttons and a center rectangular button, used mainly to confirm a selection or start the game. Some arcade cabinets also contain two slots for PlayStation memory cards, which allow the player to store his/her high scores and to play "edits" (custom-created step patterns created on the PS1/PS2 home versions of the game).

The dance stage is a raised metal platform divided into two "pads". Each pad houses a set of four arrow panels arranged and pointing in the orthogonal directions (left, up, down and right), separated by metal squares. Each "arrow" is a thick sheet of acrylic glass that sits atop four pressure sensors, one at each edge, and a software-controlled neon light. A metal safety bar in the shape of an upside-down "U" is mounted to the pad behind each player. More advanced players frequently make use of this safety bar, to help maintain proper balance, and to relieve weight from the legs so that arrows can be pressed with greater speed and accuracy. It has been suggested that Dance Pad Games be merged into this article or section. ... Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or poly (methyl 2-methylpropenoate) is the synthetic polymer of methyl methacrylate. ...


The DDR Solo arcade cabinet is smaller and contains only one dance pad, modified to include six arrow panels instead of four (the additional panels are "upper-left" and "upper-right"). These pads generally don't come with a safety bar, but include the option for one to be installed at a later date. The Solo pad also lacks some of the metal plating that the standard pad has, which can make stepping difficult for players who are used to playing on standard machines.


The rare Dance Dance Revolution Karaoke Mix also has one dance pad, as well as a smaller screen, and a microphone to allow the player to dance and sing simultaneously. Similar functionality is available in Karaoke Revolution Party, released on the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox. // Concept The games are based on karaoke singing in which an amateur singer sings a popular song while it plays without vocals. ...

The promotional materials and cardboard signs that shipped with DDR EXTREME (8th Mix) suggested that it would be the last release of DDR in the Japanese arcades. While Konami never made an official statement, fans were led to believe this was the case by statements such as "We're Starting Over!" and "Thank you to all DDR Fans!", as well as the unusually comprehensive set of songs and features in this release. However, on January 25, 2006, Konami announced Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA, a new arcade release for North America. The previous day, a version for Europe, Dancing Stage SuperNOVA, had already been premiered at the Amusement Trade Exhibition International in London, England. More recently, DDR SuperNOVA premiered at the All-Nippon Amusement Machine Operators' Union (AOU) show in Japan, making this version the first worldwide arcade release in the series. The game was released in Europe on April 28, 2006, followed by the U.S. release on May 15 and the Japanese release on July 12. January 25 is the 25th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Home releases

DDR has been released on a number of video game consoles, including the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, and now even Xbox 360.

DDR has even reached Nintendo's Game Boy Color, with five versions of Dance Dance Revolution GB released in Japan; these included a series of three mainstream DDR games, a Disney Mix, and an Oha Sta! mix. The games come with a small thumb pad that fits over the Game Boy Color's controls to simulate the dance pad.

A version of DDR was also produced for the PC in North America. It uses the interface of DDR 4thMix, and contains around 40 songs from the first six mainstream arcade releases. It has not been as well received as the console versions. Dance Dance Revolution 4thMIX, or DDR 4th Mix, is the fourth game in the main Dance Dance Revolution series of music video games. ...


The most common criticism of DDR home console versions is that they tend to provide a more limited selection of songs than in the arcade, despite the increased capacity of DVD storage media in more recent releases. In addition, many fan-favorite songs don't make it to the home versions, usually due to licensing restrictions. This is especially true of North American home versions of DDR. Another common criticism points to the relatively poor quality of most home dance pads, though dedicated fans of the series can find high-quality pads from third-party manufacturers. Some also build their own pads from raw parts (see the dance pad article for more information). It has been suggested that Dance Pad Games be merged into this article or section. ...

The DDR phenomenon

DDR is a phenomenon around which subcultures of fans and enthusiasts have gathered. Tournaments are held worldwide, with participants usually competing for higher scores or number of Perfects (referred to as "Perfect Attack" tournaments). Less common are "freestyle" tournaments, where players develop actual dance routines to perform while following the steps in the game.


As exercise

Many news outlets have reported how playing DDR can be good aerobic exercise; some regular players have reported weight loss of 10–50 pounds (5–20 kg). In one example, a player found that including DDR in her day-to-day life resulted in a loss of 95 pounds.[1] It is argued, however, that the cases of significant weight loss have all been stories where a significantly overweight player loses a few pounds, and then becomes motivated to take action to lose weight, including dieting and regular gym attendance. Although reports of weight loss have not been scientifically measured, many schools use DDR as a physical education activity in gym, and in Norway, DDR has even been registered as an official sport. In physical exercise, aerobic exercise is complementary to anaerobic exercise. ... Weight loss, in the context of medicine or health, is a reduction of the total body weight, which can mean loss of fluid, muscle or bone mass, or fat. ... Measuring body weight on a scale Dieting is the practice of eating (and drinking) in a regulated fashion to achieve a particular, short-term objective. ...


DDR's usefulness for weight loss is helped in that many home versions of the game have a function to estimate calories burned if given a player's weight. Also, players can use "workout mode" to make a diary of calories burned playing DDR and any self-reported changes in the player's weight.


Internet fandom

Dozens of fan websites have been created in response to the popularity of DDR. In the United States, one of the most popular is DDR Freak, which was originally formed in 2000 to promote DDR in the San Francisco Bay Area. It has since become an international player resource, featuring DDR-related news coverage, codes and "step charts" for the various games, a database of machine locations, Internet forums, an internet radio station and an IRC channel. DDR Freak's forums are heavily trafficked, and boast over 55,000 members as of July 2005. USGS satellite photo of the San Francisco Bay Area. ...

Aaron In Japan is another popular website, and is geared more towards "tech" players. The site's forums tend to discuss specific DDR issues, such as technique and timing on specific songs or mixes, or reverse engineering of scoring and grading systems. A large section of the website is dedicated to storing photographic records of "AAA" grades accomplished by DDR players worldwide. Several sites have also been created where players can track their high scores in an organized fashion. The most popular of these, NNR, is now defunct, but more recent websites such as DD:Recall have filled its place. Reverse engineering (RE) is the process of taking something (a device, an electrical component, a software program, etc. ...
