Game Introduction

Do you have the rhythm? Then step up onto the stage and prove it! In this dancing game, move and groove to the music by stepping on the arrows as they scroll up the screen. Do well enough, and you progress to the next stage! Also, this new update to Dance Dance Revolution 2nd Mix comes in a 'Korean' version which differs slightly from the Japanese 3rd Mix (it does not feature as many songs and there is more emphasis on Korean songs.)

Game Play

Start by selecting a song, then the game begins. As the arrows reach the top of the screen, press the corresponding button(s) with your feet.

The songs range from one foot (simple) (they are rated in feet instead of stars) up to nine, known as 'Catastrophic' songs, increasing in difficulty as far as speed (beats per min.) and are nearly impossible to finish without spending mass amounts of money or investing in any of the import home versions and dance mats!

Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs

To revert the game to Dance Dance Revolution 2nd Mix mode, insert coins, then press the select left button twice, then the select right button twice, and then press the start button. This will bring back some of the songs that were not on Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix; the original version of "Boom Boom Dollar," for instance (the game already features "remixed" versions of some of the songs).

To choose 'Another' mode (more difficult steps), press the down arrow twice during the song select. If you want to go back to Basic Mode, press the up arrow twice.

To choose SSR or "Step Step Revolution" (the hardest of the three-step sets), insert your coins, then on the yellow select arrows, press left three times, right three times, left, right. But this code has been entered, you are locked in SSR mode for that game. You will have to wait till the next game to switch to basic/another.

Step Modes: On the song select screen, input these codes using the UDLR arrows under your feet:

  • Hidden: UDUD
  • Sudden: UDUDUDUD
  • Stealth: UDUDUDUDUDUD
  • Left: L 8 times (play facing left)
  • Right: R 8 times (play facing right)
  • Mirror: L,R 8 times (play facing away from the screen - this one's used most of the time for free-styling moves!)
  • Shuffle: UDLRDURL (Changes the arrows position around)
  • Little: LDRDL (removes some of the steps)
  • Flat: LLLRRR (changes the arrows to white)
  • Vivid: LRLLRLLR (adds coloring to the arrows)

Cabinet Information

The cabinet features lights under the buttons that illuminate when pressed, neon flashing lights that flicker in tune to the music, as well as overhead multi-colored lighting to create a dance party feeling.

Miscellaneous

Comes in 'Japan' and 'Korea' versions. Also this game is known as Dancing Stage in Europe/the UK, where the world record for number of hours playing the game nonstop (around eight hours, according to Guinness World Records, 2001) is held.
