Dance Dance Revolution USA (aka Dance Dance Revolution US Mix)
U.S. version (Release: 10/00)
Arcade FAQ
Version 1.2

Dance Simulation
1-2 players

~~~
Please note that this version is NOT called "Dance Dance Revolution"
as that is the name for what is commonly known as DDR 1.5.

The appropriate title is "Dance Dance Revolution USA."  I hate being
technical, but grouping this with plain DDR will just create confusion.
This version is quite different from it's Japanese brethren DDR, 2nd Mix,
3rd Mix, and 4th Mix and the Europe's Dancing Stage.

1. What's the point of this FAQ?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Well, basically, there wasn't a FAQ for this, so I figured, why not?  Well, this
was the one of the more anticipated games for Bemani fans in the U.S., but the
question is, does Konami of America deliver?  You can be the judge of that for
yourself.

Also, I just wanted to throw in some suggestions for those who are struggling
with DDR, and how I picked up the game.  For further help, I'd recommend reading
some of the other DDR FAQs from gamefaqs.com.

Some tips on this FAQ may not work with you, but this is how I've found it to
work with me, and some others of my friends.  IMHO, it's best that you develop
your own style to play this game.  Eventually, you'll pick it up, but for now,
try to learn the basics (it's pretty difficult to make yourself look good when
all you do is fail songs ^_^).
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
2. What the heck is "Dance Dance Revolution?"
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Dance Dance Revolution (aka DDR) is a unique dancing simulation game.
It's made by the same company and development team who brought Beatmania and
Guitar Freaks, Konami's Bemani team.

The basic point is to "dance to the music."  Easily said than done though.
Most people rather call it a stepping game however (in my brother's words, step
aerobics).  If you think that you cannot dance to this game, look on the
internet for some dancing clips.  An excellent dancing group located in Korea
is called the A-Team, who does performances with DDR songs.  You can also try
to find C-Squad; located in Canada...

Other teams in North America include Team Changoland (which IMHO are one of the 
craziest groups I've seen), DDR Club Elite, and some others (which I have yet to
research about, since I'm too damn busy writing this FAQ! ^_^)



     2a. Differences in the USA version

The biggest difference from the 1.5 version is that you can no longer do "path
choosing."  Instead, you're given all the songs available right in the beginning.

You can also repeatedly choose a song over again even after you've played it.  So
for example, you can do Afronova 3 times, over and over again, same difficulty if
you wanted to, although I dunno why you'd want to unless you need practice (but
at that point, you should just buy a pad and the game for home).

Another big difference is that you can't change difficulties while you choose
a song or before the song selection.  Instead, after you choose a song, you'll have
the option of choosing what difficulty you want to play the game at.  This idea is
imported straight from DDR 4th Mix, which brings me to my third point.  The names
of the difficulties have been changed.  Instead of "Basic," "Trick" or "Another,"
and "Maniac," or "SSR," the names are changed to "Standard," "Difficult," and
"Expert."

On top of that, the first difficulty before "Standard" mode is called "Beginner"
in which the song is only 1 difficulty (despite what song it is), plus you cannot
lose on that song.  This was previously available on the Japanese version of
DDR and the U.S. testing version of DDR Solo Bass Mix (although the steps weren't
"dumbed down" in Solo)

Another minor change includes a new voice that tells you which code you inputted.
If you entered the Little code, the announcer will say "Little."  Kind of nice, 
rather than just hearing the Konami tone.

Another big down side to the USA version is that "Unison" mode or "Couple" mode
is taken out.  So much for doing tricks with two people...


     2b. The "controversey" of DDR USA (or what do people find wrong with DDR USA)

Talking to other people on the 'net and other DDRers, many are somewhat annoyed
by DDR USA.  Here's some of the reasons that I've gathered.  Basically many long time
DDRers had to settle with DDR 1.5 if they wanted to play the arcade version
(otherwise they were stuck playing the imported PSX or DC version).  BTW-this excludes
some west coast states.  Anyway, high expectations were set the forthcoming DDR US mix.
But after the official songlist was released, many were disappointed (and frustrated)
with Konami of America.  From what I gather, the songs that some people were hoping for
that would also have been included:
Butterfly, Boom Boom Dollar, Brilliant 2U Orchestra Groove, PARANOiA, PARANOiA
~dirty mix~, Dam Dariram, any E-Rotic songs, AM-3P, and so forth.

Also, the fact that Couple mode was taken out didn't make the situation better.
Other little factors irked players, like the changing of the scoring system,
change in the difficulties names, etc.  Well anyway, what's the big deal?  Japan and
Asia just got DDR 4th Mix, which include 120 songs.  Compared to the newer released
DDR USA, which only has 26, that's a pretty poor showing.  Nevertheless, it is DDR,
and it does have some good songs...but many feel like Konami of America could have
done a better job and put some more songs in.

If you feel that I'm wrong or you have something to add, please feel free to contact
me  (Check the bottom of the FAQ for contact info).  I'm welcome to hear some input
about this.

3. How to play
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The main point of the game:
Hit the arrows at the right time.  As long as you have at least one point in
your Dance Gauge (the meter at the top of the screen), you will pass the level.
If you're not playing in Beginner Mode, if your gauge hits Zero (or you have no
dance gauge points), game is over.  Game is also over when you clear all the
songs for the mode (but you won't feel as bad).

First after you insert your money, before you hit start, you can choose to play
Single mode, Versus, or Double mode (see codes section).  After you've select your
game mode, you will choose a song.  You can either hit start to choose a song, or
let the clock run down (the latter is preferred, usually when the play is tired),
and then you choose your difficulty for that song.  This is a double-edged sword.
For beginners who don't know how hard each song is, they can only find out AFTER
they've picked a song, so if they chose PARANOiA Rebirth, they may find themselves
in a rut with a choice of either playing out PARANOiA Rebirth normally or in the
boring beginner mode (unless you MUST play beginner mode, in which case, it doesn't
matter).  But at the same time, it takes away from worrying about inputting codes
if you want to play different difficulties for different songs.


The arrows:

How I'm going to refer to the arrows (to avoid further confusion)-

Fixed arrows: The white set of arrows that don't move located at the top of the
screen.  They're always there.

Scrolling arrows: The colored arrows that will scroll up from the bottom of the
screen and tells you which direction you want to hit when they align with the
fixed arrows.

Panel arrows: The arrows on your dance pad, the ones you stomp on.


If you've played the other DDRs, this version the same.  The concept is the
same.  You will have a fixed set of arrows on the top of the screen.
As music plays, colored scrolling arrows will go up towards the fixed arrows,
and the point of the game is to hit the corresponding arrow on your dance pad
when the scrolling arrow(s) is aligned to the fixed arrow(s).  Sometimes you
will be required to hit two arrows at the same time (read on about
double-steps).

This version of DDR has four arrows: Up, down, left, and right.

Sometimes, you'll be thrown two arrows to hit at the same time (I call them
double steps).  This usually intimidates lots of beginners, and most don't
know what to hit.  It really isn't that hard, just be prepared to jump to hit
those arrows at the same time (that's what baffles me: most beginners don't
expect to be jumping around at all when they play.  To hit those simultaneous
arrows, the only way to hit them is to jump (or even hop) on them.  Once you get
more advanced, there are many other ways you can do it...

A little tip for those struggling to hit the arrows on time:
Each song is in a 4/4 beat.  Which means you can count with the beat of a song.
Even though some songs may have irregular beats, you'll notice that the fixed
arrows will flash every fourth beat.  When you have to hit the arrows, it will
be on the beat or on the flash.  But you have to make sure you're not too hasty
to hit the buttons.  What I used to do is count outloud (whispering at most, not
screaming, please you'll scare the rest of the arcade patrons ^_^)
1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,etc. and that way I can keep up with the beat.  Bouncing with
the beat works as well (may look ridiculous, but I've seen sillier looking
things).  So you can be thinking "1,2,3,step,step,2,step" etc.  Basically, just
keep a beat.  Also, the steps are not as random as they seem.  Once you get the
rhythm of a song, you should be able to anticipate when the steps will come out.

What you have to start worrying about is when you move up in difficulty levels,
especially when you don't play beginner mode, or without little mode.  You'll be
treated to the green/blue "offbeat" arrows (also known as 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32
steps).  Those are a bit more difficult to hit since they don't align with the
fixed arrows on the beat or the flash, but when the fixed arrows aren't
flashing.  Those take some practice to get used to.  If you can, keep "little"
mode on, otherwise, you'll be given these extra steps (unless of course you
don't mind them).   If it helps, the offbeat arrows are always a different
color than normal arrows, depending on which offbeat arrow they are.

Once you're comfortable with the arrows, you should turn Little mode off (as this
mode is used more for beginners and certain performers).

Double mode is the same from any previous DDR versions.  Only one player plays,
but that one player uses BOTH 1st player panels and 2nd player panels.  This
mode isn't recommended for beginners.  Basically, you'll be playing with
eight arrows rather than just four.


Rating:

On the top of the screen during gameplay, you'll have colored gauge.  This is
your Dance Gauge.  In all mode, you'll start off with since Dance Gauge points.
The point is to have at least one bar filled by the end of the song; once you
run out of points on your Dance Gauge, the game is over.  You can earn points
by performing large combos, and you cannot gain anymore than what is available
on the screen.  Once you hit zero, you cannot gain anymore.  If you're playing
in Beginner Mode, the Dance Gauge does not matter (even if you hit zero, you
can still gain points, but even with a zero Dance Gauge, the game will go on).

Everytime an arrow passes, you'll be judged on how accurately you stepped on the
arrow.
-If you've hit it dead on, you'll get Perfect!
-If you hit it a bit off, you'll get Great!
-If you hit it about 1/8 of a beat off, you'll get a Good, and your combo will
 stop.
-If you hit it more than 1/8 of a beat off, you'll get Almost and you'll lost a point
 or two on your dance gauge
-If you miss completely, you'll get a Boo!, and you'll lose a couple points in your
 Dance Gauge (This will vary depending on the machine's difficulty setting).


Scoring:

The scoring system seems to be unique from 1st Mix-3rd Mix.  The score doesn't seem
to be multiplied like 1st Mix or 2nd Mix, but it doesn't seem to be out of 1000000
either ala 3rd Mix.  It looks like "Perfect!" scores you a certain amount of points,
"Great!" scores you less points, and so on.  I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure that
the scoring is not like any before (because I've seen people beat a song without missing,
but was nowhere near 1000000 points, but it was too low to be multiplied like in 2nd Mix).
It similar to 4th Mix, but not quite.  In a sense, this is good, because it prevents you
from scoring an obnoxious amount of points like in 1.5 Mix, but at the same time, it
doesn't limit your score to just 1000000 points.


Judgement:

At the end of your song, you get a letter grade for your performance.  The
higher combos and higher scores you earn, the higher the grade.  Also, it
reflects how high of a combo you have ratio-wise to how high of a combo that
is possible.  For example, if song A is 210-combo possible, and song B is
110-combo possible, and you earn a 100-combo on both songs, you'll get a lower
grade with song A, but a very high grade with song B.  The highest rating is
AAA PERFECT! aka AAAA; there's also a normal AAA, which is almost perfect.  You grade
is also reflected by how much points you have on your dance gauge...usually.


Grades are as follows:

AAA PERFECT!-Perfect performance.  No "Great!" allowed.  Near impossible unless
 you have absolute dead-on timing.
AAA-Only "Great!" and "Perfect!"
AA-Equivalent to the previous "A", one or two misses are allowed.
 (Note: I haven't seen anyone get "AA" rating on a song, except on a overall rating,
 so I'm not too sure about this one)
A-Excellent, several mistakes, mostly "Perfect!" and "Great!" ratings, few
 misses, good combo ratio.
B-Very good, enough to get by, a lot of "Perfect!" and "Great!" ratings, but
 a lot of "Almost" and "Boo!" ratings too.  A decent combo ratio.
C-Average.  Low combo number, decent amount of dance gauge left.
D-Bad, Very low combo number, very low or zero dance gauge left, lots of "Almost"
 and "Boo!" ratings.
E-Horrible.  Mostly misses, zero combo gauge usually.  At this point, you would
 normally fail.

Note about AA (according to Nickel):
>I can't be certain, but it's probably a ranking you get for having all
>Perfects and Greats but not having a high percentage of Perfects.  That's
>how you got an S instead of an SS in the 3rd Mix ranking system... you
>needed about 80% Perfects for the SS.

It's a better guess than mine ^_^


If you chose Beginner mode, you won't lose if you've gotten an E.

When you're done with all your songs, you'll be given an overall grade, kind of
like an average of all your grades.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
4. Modes of play
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You can choose your difficulty level after the choice of each song:

Beginnner
Standard
Difficult
Expert

And high scores will come up with each different variable, except for Beginner
mode.

For Double mode, only the following difficulties are available:

Double Standard (no pun intended)
Double Difficult
Double Expert

By default, Beginner mode has "Little" mode ON.
All other modes have Little mode OFF.

Please note: if you want to play Versus or Double modes, usually you will be
required to insert at least 2 credits to play a full double mode or versus
mode game.  Otherwise, you can only play one song before the game ends.

The difficulty does NOT change in versus mode for either player.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
5. Can you give me some tips/secrets?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Access the option menu-

To access the option menu so you can choose which gameplay you want to use
other than single (double or versus), insert your credit, then hold the left
and right select arrows down (NOT the dance pad arrows), and press start, just
like 1.5.  Remember that if you want to play 3-song double or 3-song versus,
you MUST have another credit available and you have to press start on the other
player's side.  By default, if a second player joins in, the game reverts to
VERSUS mode (not double or the defunct couple mode like in 1.5), so this code
really isn't needed unless you plan on playing double mode.

~~~
For the following codes, they can be entered either during song selection or
difficulty selection.  The code will apply ONLY to the player who enters the
code.  If BOTH players, for example, want to use LITTLE MODE, BOTH players
MUST enter the code.
~~~~

Hidden/Sudden/Stealth modes-

To access hidden mode, hit up, down, up, down on the panel arrows.  You hear a
voice say "hidden."  This mode will have the arrows fade out as they reach halfway
up the screen during gameplay.

To access sudden mode, enter the hidden mode, then hit up, down, up, down.  You
will hear a voice say "sudden."  To put it simply, hit up, down sequence 4 times.
This mode will have the arrows fade in as they reach halfway up the screen during
gameplay.

To access stealth mode, enter the sudden mode, then hit up, down, up, down.  You
will hear a voice say "stealth."  To put it simply, hit up, down sequence 6 times.
This mode will not show the arrows at all during gameplay (so make sure you've
memorized the song ^_^)

To cancel out of these modes, hit the up, down sequence 8 times (hit up, down, up,
down after you've entered the stealth mode code).

You can enter this code while you're choosing a song or while you're choosing
difficulty modes.


Left and Right modes-

To access Left Shift mode, hit the left panel arrow 8 times.  This will shift the
arrows around so that you face left while playing (at least you're supposed to)

To access Right Shift mode, hit the right panel arrow 8 times.  This will shift the
arrows around so that you face right while playing (at least you're supposed to)


Shuffle mode-
To access Shuffle mode, hit the up, down, left, right, down, up, right, left
on the panel arrows.  This will shuffle the patterns of the arrows around.


Mirror mode-
To access Mirror mode, hit left, right sequence on the panel arrows four times.
This will flip the arrows so they face the other direction (i.e. up becomes down,
and left becomes right and vice versa).


Little mode-
(Thanx to Goku1027(?) for this code!)
At the song selection or difficulty selection screen, hit left, down, right, down,
left on the panel arrows.  This will eliminate the offbeat arrows (1/2 beats, 1/4 beats
and so on).  Recommended for newbies and performers only (unless you know what you're
doing).

      6a. The difficulty and steps

You'll notice that each song's difficulty level is measured by a star.
If you would like to see the steps themselves (like the steps for the songs),
you should visit Nekoneko's DDRers Stompin' Ground, http://www.ddr.sh.  I
also added each song's length so you'll know which ones just take FOREVER
to finish ^_^

Please note that the 1st Mix and 2nd Mix songs don't have the ratings for
Double Expert yet, only because Maniac Double wasn't avaliable until DDR
3rd Mix.  If you know the rating for the ones with *?* in them, please
let me know.  The blank ones are currently being filled in.

Difficulties are as follows:
1-Simple (aka Beginner)
2-Moderate
3-Ordinary
4-Superior
5-Marvelous
6-Genuine

      6b. Rumors!

As of now, no one knows if there are any more songs in this version.
However, I've heard rumors of some songs being hidden.  Maybe they
need to be time-released, or some code needs to be entered, but at
this current time, it's not known.  Current rumored "hidden"
songs are:

Brilliant 2U Orchestra Groove (or Orchestra Groov for DDR 1.5 players ^_^)
Make It Better So-Real Mix

9. Closing notes/Thanks/Contact Information

This FAQ is strictly based on my observations and my techniques.  It may not
work for you, and in which case, you can find other great beginner's FAQs out
there that may work for you.  (Myself, I'm learning new techniques, so my own
playing is not too great right now...) ^_^

Thanks to...
Konami and the Bemani team for making such a kick arse game
Nekoneko at DDRer's Stompin' Ground, excellent resource for any DDR game out
 there (some information from this FAQ came from their site, with permission
 of course); http://www.ddr.sh.  This FAQ wouldn't be complete without that
 site.
Diversions, and all the people there!
Gameworks (in Schaumburg, Streets of Woodfield), and to all the people there for
 showing me how to do some of the funky stuff...that and if GameWorks didn't
 bring this game to ACEN2K, this game would have forever sat on my shelf...
Mitsuwa (aka Yaohan), especially for charging me up the butt for this...man $1.50?
 Ouch! ;) Well then again, they had DDR USA before anyone else so ^_^
Holy_Knight_7 at 7th Step (http://members.tripod.com/holy_knight_7/index.htm), for
 letting me use some of the info on his site, check it out, especially if you live
 in the Chicagoland area!
and anyone else I've forgotten, sorry!!!


Copyrights...(every game I mentioned thus far, just to be safe)
Beatmania, Guitar Freaks, and Dance Dance Revolution is trademark of Konami and
the Bemani team.


If you need to contact me for any reason or just leave a comment, feel free
to drop an e-mail at BakaOrochi@hotmail.com

PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME QUESTIONS LIKE "HOW DO I DO _your problem here_???"
And I do not answer questions about PSX/DC/PS2 modding, or anything about
copy protection, so don't bother.

BTW-I'm not a girl, so don't think about sending love letter.  Also spam will
be ignored and taken up with your ISP or mail server (yes, there are laws
against that too).
