Pokud jste v DDR a jiných tanečních simulátorech nováčky, tak právě pro vás je tento dokument, zabývající se instalací a nastavením Stepmanie, jednoho z nejrozšířenějších emulátorů pro PC.
Instalace samotné stepmanie:
-
stáhnout z www.stepmania.com odpovídající aktuální instalátor, momentálně je to soubor StepMania-3.9.exe
- spustit instalaci a držet se pokynů během instalace - zde většinou nenastane žádný problém.
- Spustit stepmanii - zde nastává první kritický okamžik, pokud se vám stepmanie začne normálně nahrávat, máte vyhráno, pokud vidíte chybovou hlášku o chybějící knihovně msvcp71.dll nebo msvcr71.dll. Je čas tyto součásti stáhnout například z www.dll-files.com. Po stažení tyto soubory nahrajte do adresáře /Program v instalaci stepmanie (implicitně "C.\Program files\Stepmania\Program\"), poté by mělo vše proběhnout bez problémů.
Nastavení v options:
Při výzvě stepmanie "Press Start" stiskněte Enter (jedno který) a uvidíte toto menu. Zde najeďte kurzorovými šipkami na volbu Options a potvrďte enterem.
Dostanete se do options menu kde budeme postupně procházet jednotlivé položky a nastavovat potřebné proměnnné.
Appearance Options:
Můžeme měnit vzhled stepmanie a jiné spíše kosmetické maličkosti, nám budou stačit tyto:
- Language - english
- Announcer - dle vlastního uvážení, je to takový ten otravný hlas co vám nadává :)
- Theme - je celkový vzhled stepmanie
- Default Noteskin - vzhled šipek
- Instructions - Skip - zobrazení nebo přeskočení instrukcí pro hraní při každém startu hry
- Caution - Skip - zobrazení nebo přeskočení upozornění při každém startu hry
- Song group - all music - ve výběru hudby se bude zobrazovat vše co je v adresáři /Songs, jinak si při každém spuštění vybíráte album
- Translation - romanization - zobrazuje přepis japonských a čínských znaků v názvech songů do nám známé abecedy :)
To jsou volby které je dobré nastavit, ostatní jsou nastaveny tak jak požadujeme :) zde je ukázka jak by to mělo vypadat:
Background Options
Tady lze nastavit chování pozadí songů
- Mode - nastaví se zdroj odkud se budou pozadí přehrávat, případně je lze vypnout, pokud vás ruší.
- Brightness - světlost pozadí
- Danger - blikání obrazovky v případě že máte málo energie, považováno za rušivé, tudíž - hide ;)
- Dancing Characters - tanečníci, pouze v případě že je máte nainstalovány v adresáři /Characters
- Beginner helper - zobrazení obrazovky s návodem :) kdy tlapnou, vyloženě basics
- Random backgrounds - počet použitých náhodně zvolených pozadí z typu určeného v Mode
Bookkeeping
v podstatě zobrazuje záznamy kolik jste tlapkali ... nezajímavé :)
Center Image - neotevírat
na některých monitorech je potřeba roztáhnout obraz a vycentrovat ho, k tomu slouží tato volba
Coin Options
Zde přepnete pouze jednu volbu, ostatní se tímto přepnutím vyruší
- Event Mode - ON - v podstatě vypnete otravné třísongové omezení, a hrajete vždy jeden song, po skončení jdete rovnou na výběr dalšího
Config Key/Joy Mappings
Nastavení ovládání, šipkami posouváte, enter potvrdíte, stisknete požadovanou klávesu a pokračujete.
- Left(menuleft) - doleva
- Right(menuright) - doprava
- Up(menuup) - dopředu
- Down(Menudown) - dozadu
- Start - start
- Back - select
Input Options
Opět přepneme pouze jednu volbu:
- Wheel Speed - fast - pro rychlejší rolování seznamu hudby
Gameplay Options
Zde přepneme pouze dvě volby a to:
- Solo Singles - ON - pro centrování šipek na střed obrazovky když člověk hraje sám
- Marvelous timing - Courses only - pro přidání hodnocení marvelous pouze pro speciální případy
Graphic Options
Tady nastavíte zobrazení podle vašich představ (*
*) toto je nastavení pro okno stepmanie o rozlišení 800x600, doporučuji spíše fullscreen.
Machine Options
Zde nás opět zajímají jen dvě volby a to:
- Menu timer - off - zruší časový limit výběru v menu
- Default Fail Type - off - i když vám dojde energie, můžete stále hrát song až do konce, bohužel lepší nž FAIL už stejně nedostanete :)
Sound Options
Zde nastavíte pouze jednu volbu:
- Resampling Quality - High Quality - vysoká kvalita přehrávání
Profile Options
Zde je možno spravovat profily pod kterými hrajete, například si vytvořit profil pro hraní na klávesnici, ťapaní na padu, nebo jako zde profil "Pa-R-Ba" (je nastaven pouze pro hráče 1) když je vás více a nechce se vám pořád profily přepínat ;)
Other Options
Není potřeba nic přenastavovat
Reload Songs/Courses
znovu proskenuje obsah /Songs a /Courses a aktualizuje, bez nutnosti restartovat Stepmanii. Někdy je však rychlejší reset stepmanie.
Test Input
Vyzkoušení funkčnosti kláves, každý řádek znamená jednu klávesu syntaxe: "IDtlačítka (Funkce) (Dedicated Funkce)"
A nyní máte stepmanii nastavenou tak, jako já ;) ehm, v podstatě je to asi nejlepší nastavení, s minimalizací času okolo a maximalizací času na tlapkání :)

1. INTRODUCTION
******************************************************************************
Hello, hello! ^_^ Welcome to my FAQ/Walkthrough for Dance Dance Revolution
SuperNOVA, the revival of DDR in the arcade, released worldwide! This FAQ is
specifically for the USA version, although all versions are techincally the
same with some minor textual changes. I refer to this as a "FAQ/Walkthrough",
but there's very little "walking through" to be done with this game. Anyone
familiar with Konami's most famous member of the BEMANI series will know that
there are few written tips that can be given for the Dance Dance Revolution
series. You have to trust your own feet and your burning soul. However, I
will, in this FAQ, give you the heads-up on what the songs are, where they
come from, and a few tips to get you ready for tackling them.
******************************************************************************
2. INFORMATION
******************************************************************************
=========
2A. FAQ =
=========
Q: What is Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA?
A: The latest chapter in the famed DDR series, developed mainly as a response
to a surge in popularity for the series in North America and Europe.
Q: How does one play Dance Dance Revolution games?
A: It's actually pretty simple. Your "controller" has four directions: left,
down, up, and right, which are shown at the top of your play screen. You
select a song. As the song plays, arrows will start scrolling up to your top
line. When an arrow scrolling up reaches the line of arrows at the top, you
must "step" on the direction matching that arrow's direction. If two arrows
come up at once, you must press both at once. If a green "freeze" arrow
appears, you must hold that step at the beginning until the freeze arrow ends.
Q: How many songs in this mix?
A: By default, 298. That's 184 songs that have been in arcade DDRs before,
54 that have been in console DDRs, with their first appearance in an arcade
mix, 29 that are crossovers from other BEMANI games, and 31 that are brand
new. Not added to the default count are the three extra stages, making a
total of 301. There are also unlockable songs.
Q: Where are the old licenses? I want to play BUTTERFLY or CARTOON HEROES!
A: Due to the complete worldwide release, it'd be too difficult to obtain
licensing for old songs for regions that haven't had them before. Konami
apparently decided to scrap the old licenses and start fresh, at least for
this arcade mix. As far as we know, the consoles are still fair game for
old licenses.
Q: What is Dancemania?
A: A rather large series of albums, developed by Toshiba-EMI, which showcase
a lot of dance music from artists all over the world. Konami's BEMANI studio
has a long-standing partnership, where DDR gets Dancemania licenses (for
relatively cheap) while DDR plugs Dancemania in its games. There are a few
DM releases in this mix.
Q: What is beatmania?
A: Developed almost concurrently with DDR, BM is a series of games where you
use your fingers instead of your feet. You have a set of keys, like a piano,
and you have to tap those to create the music (each key tap adds music to the
playing score). Also, you have a turntable to "scratch", which also adds
sound. The original beatmania had 5 keys, beatmania IIDX has 7 keys (and is
the only one of the series still coming out with new mixes), and beatmania
III has 5 keys and a foot pedal. I refer to several songs as being "from
beatmania". If you want to try some of these songs in their original form,
pick up the US release of beatmania and support it! ^_^
Q: What are Guitar Freaks and Drummania?
A: These ongoing series are favorites from BEMANI. Guitar Freaks uses a
guitar with three neck buttons and a "pick", which allows you to insert
music into the song. Drummania is similar, using a drum set. A few mixes
into the series, BEMANI got the wise idea of combining the two series,
giving each mix the same list, and allowing the machines to link up.
Q: What is Dance ManiaX?
A: This is a short-lived series that was made to showcase more Dancemania
tunes, as well as a bunch of Konami Originals. It's played with light beams,
and blocking them in time with the music.
Q: What is pop'n music?
A: This is a currently ongoing BEMANI series that is similar to beatmania,
only it just involves a bunch of colored buttons. It has a more cartoonish
look to it than other BEMANI series, and many of the songs are happy songs,
or songs from popular anime.
Q: What is Mambo A Go Go?
A: A one-shot experimental music game from BEMANI. This one involved three
conga drums, and is played much as you'd expect.
Q: What is Para Para Paradise?
A: Another short-lived series. This one placed you on this mini-stage and
had you move your hands around to block sensor beams, similar to actual
para para routines. The game was HEAVILY euro beat.

**COMING SOON**

Konami AM Internal Sound Team, who are in charge of coming up with songs for
each new DDR release. He's responsible for many songs throughout DDR-dom,
under lots of artist names. His styles run several levels, but seem to
have distilled recently down to euro beat and euro trance.

group after Shiyuna Maehara left, adding three new members and "updating"
their image.
- Yuuichi Asami
Main Alias: U1-ASAMi
Bio: U1's biggest claim is as the sound director for the home versions of
DDR, producing much of the background music for menus, etc. that you
wouldn't find in an arcade game. He has a large range of styles, and
has remixed several of Naoki's more popular tunes under the alias "2MB".
Other Aliases: 2MB, CLUB SPICE, NPD3
- Scott Dolph
Main Alias: Scotty D.

a decent rapper. He's done the lyrics for a few Konami tunes, most notably
DROP THE BOMB.
- Junko Karashima
Main Alias: jun
Bio: Most of the info I can find on her is in Japanese, which I can't quite
read, but I can tell you that she's been working rather closely with Naoki
the last few years, under the combined group name: TËRRA (the first R is
reversed, but the code won't work it).
- Sota Fujimori
Main Alias: SOTA
Bio: Self-proclaimed synth junkie, Sota recently came to the BEMANI scene for
home versions of DDR, later branching out to working in IIDX games as well.
His main style is trance, very atmospheric.

- Reo Nagumo
Main Alias: dj nagureo
Bio: Reo Nagumo is one of the founding composers of beatmania since its very
inception. His style of music tends to be mostly slightly electronic and
more house, R&B, and hip hop than other BEMANI artists, except when he uses
his "tiger YAMATO" moniker, which is when his style is heavily rave or
eurobeat.
Other Aliases: tiger YAMATO
- Takayuki Ishikawa
Main Alias: dj TAKA
Bio: Takayuki Ishikawa is the super star of betamania IIDX. His genres are
varied and his music tends to be some of the highest rated and most often
played. He has at least three new songs (most often more) in every new
IIDX release. Many of his tunes end up finding their way to DDR.
Other Aliases: D.J. SETUP, Lion MUSASHI, D.J. Amuro, Risk Junk
- Taku Sakakibara
Main Alias: TaQ
Bio: Taku Sakakibara is an outside artist who has worked very closely with the
beatmania IIDX crew over the years, having been friends with dj TAKA since
middle school. He was born in Maryland, but was raised in West Germany, and
is currently living in Japan. His style is mainly of a percussive nature;
drum'n'bass, techno, and the like.
- Toshiyuki Kakuta
Main Alias: L.E.D.
Bio: Toshiyuki Kakuta, while not the most active contributor to IIDX, does
get special mention for being particularly supportive of the home versions
of IIDX. He's best known for being heavily electronic, chiefly trance and
straight techno.
- Shoichiro Hirata

==============
3A. Controls =
==============
Green Button: Start game. Make your selection.
Yellow Arrow Buttons: Scroll options to the left or right.
Pad Arrows: Step in that direction.
==================
3B. How to Dance =
==================
Insert the proper amount of coins, and hit the Green Button to start.
---
Select Your Style
Single Mode: This is a 1-player mode using the pad you used to start the game,
and requires one credit.
Versus Mode: This is a 2-player mode where each player uses a pad, and
requires two credits.
Double Mode: This is a 1-player mode where the player uses both pads, and
requires two credits. Every song has different steps for Double Mode than
Single.
Battle Mode: This is a 2-player mode that pits two opponents against one
another, applying options in the middle of the song as each player builds
up enough points to attack.
---
Select Difficulty
Tutorial: This is a beginner's mode of play. Selecting songs on the
Beginner difficulty will have an on-screen dancer dancing along.
Easy: An easy set of songs.
Medium: An middle-road difficulty set of songs.
Difficult: Mostly hard songs.
Continue to scroll the arrows past "Difficult" for three extra options:
Nonstop: This mode gives you a set of courses with four songs each. To
complete the course, you must pass all four songs in the course.
Challenge: In this mode, you select a course of songs, as in Nonstop. The
major difference in this mode is that you fail if you break your combo
more than four times.
All Music: This mode includes every one of the over 300 songs.
There really is NO PATTERN to the set of songs they pull up in Easy, Medium,
and Difficult. Well, there may be, but it's more complex than I'm willing to
figure out. If you have a specific song in mind, just pull up All Music.
---
Select Music
Use the yellow arrows to scroll the songs. To change the difficulty, double
tap the Up or Down pad arrows in the direction you want the difficulty to
change. Make your selection with the Green Button.
Hold down the left and right arrows and press the Green Button to change the
sorting of the music. Changing the sorting will change it from the default
"by color" setup to an alphabetical list where you can pick the letter, to by
BPM from slowest to fastest, and your "favorites", which is measured by the
total score from all your plays of the song divided by the number of the
difficulty each time you played.
Difficulties:
Beginner (BEG): Almost all songs are 1-footers. Don't play this for too long
if you wish to get better.
Basic (BSC): Most songs range from 2 to 5 feet. This is pretty simple if
you're getting used to DDR.
Difficult (DIF): Most songs range from 4 to 7 feet. Largely, you'll find that
steps reflect how the music goes, as opposed to just being on the beat.
Expert (EXP): Most songs range from 6 to 10 feet. These are the tough ones
where they focus on two things: matching the song's notes exactly, and/or
kicking up the difficulty to give you pains.
Challenge (CHA): A special "second Expert" difficulty. Only certain songs
have this difficulty, some as the only difficulty.
At the left side of the screen, you'll see the BPM for the song, which may be
dynamic, and the "Groove Radar", which gives a detailed look at the song.
Groove Radar: This is a graphical representation of the difficulty of the
song. It's broken down into five attributes:
- Stream: More or less the overall number of steps.
- Voltage: How many steps are sandwiched into how much time. Higher voltage
means more steps in less time.
- Air: The overall number of double steps (time spent in the air).
- Freeze: The overall number and length of freeze arrows.
- Chaos: The number of weird steps (not straight 1/4 and 1/8, or steps that
force you turn as you step).
If you can't figure out what song you want, you can select ROULETTE. This
will start the song list rolling. Press X to stop it. It's tough to get it
to stop on a song you want, though. Once your song's picked, you can still
adjust the difficulty.
Also, you can select RANDOM. This will automatically pick a random song at
the current difficulty. You will not be able to adjust anything once you hit
the RANDOM button.
---
Select Options
You must select the options at the bottom of the difficulty list in this mix.
No, holding down X or Circle anymore.
Speed: This is the speed of the arrows on the screen. It doesn't affect the
speed of the song, just the arrows.
Boost: If turned on, the arrows will gradually speed up as they move on the
game screen.
Appearance: "Visible" is the normal setting. If "Hidden" is on, the arrows
will vanish about half-way. If "Sudden" is on, the arrows will appear about
half-way. If "Stealth" is on, you won't see the arrows at all.
Turn: "Off" is normal. "Mirror" rotates all arrows 180 degrees. "Left"
rotates them 90 degrees to the left. "Right" in the other direction.
"Shuffle" specifically picks two sets of arrows and reverses their roles,
giving a new somewhat random selection that doesn't fall under Mirror, Left,
or Right.
Dark: Turning this on will remove the Step Zone from the screen.
Scroll: "Standard" is normal bottom to top scrolling. "Reverse" is, oddly
enough, scrolling from top to bottom.
Arrow: "Vivid" is the normal setup. "Note" (also known as Solo) gives you
different colors for different types of notes (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, etc).
"Rainbow" is similar to Note, only with brighter colors. "Flat" gives you
all arrows the same color.
Cut: Turning this on will remove all non-quarter notes from the song. It
won't give you a good chance for a high score, though.
Jump: Turning this to "Off 1" will make all jumps into single steps. Turning
this to "Off 2" will remove jumps entirely.
Freeze Arrow: You can turn the Freeze Arrows off.
Step: Another chance to change the difficulty of your song.
Character: "Random" is default, but you can select any random male or female,
or any of the eight characters specifically: Afro, Emi, Rage, Jenny,
Baby-Lon, Robo-Zukin, Gus, or Ruby.
---
Are You Ready?
The main field consists of the arrows and the Step Zone, which is a line of
arrows on the screen. As the song plays, arrows will begin scrolling along
the screen. As the arrows reach the Step Zone, you need to step on those
arrows. If you see a green Freeze Arrow, you need to step on that arrow and
hold it until the Freeze Arrow ends (you don't need to remove your foot when
it ends, just stay on it until it ends, and move your foot at your leisure).
On the top of the screen is the Dance Meter. It starts about half full. As
you step properly, it'll fill more. If you misstep, your Dance Meter will
start emptying. If it empties completely, game over.
On the bottom of the screen is the difficulty (in case you forgot), and your
score as it tallies up.
Also in the middle of the screen, you'll see words pop up as you step:
MARVELOUS: You stepped precisely on the arrow. This is mainly used for
Nonstop and Challenge Mode, but in normal gameplay, it's ranked no better
than a PERFECT.
PERFECT: You stepped more or less precisely on the arrow. Combo continues,
the dance meter increases, and you get the maximum possible score from that
step.
GREAT: You just about stepped on the arrow. Combo continues, the dance meter
increases, and you get half the maximum possible score for the step.
GOOD: You're off on the step by a bit. Combo stops, but the dance meter
doesn't change. You get no points.
ALMOST: You're off on the step by quite a bit. Combo stops, and your dance
meter decreases. You get no points.
BOO: You completely missed the step. Combo stops, and your dance meter
decreases. You get no points.
OK!: You stepped on the whole Freeze Arrow. You get the normal maximum score
for a step.
NG: You stepped off the Freeze Arrow before it ended. Combo continues, but
your Dance Meter will decrease. You get no points.
Also marked on the screen is your combo, which is how many PERFECTS and GREATS
you have in a row. The announcer will tell you when you hit 100 combo, 200,
etc.
---
Evaluation
Once you complete the song, you'll see an Evaluation Screen. You'll receive
a letter grade, a tally on how many of each step you got, your maximum combo,
and your score.
Scoring is measured by the following algorithm:
X = The total number of standard steps (double steps count as one) +
(2 * the total number of Freeze Arrows)
Y = 10,000,000 / X
Each PERFECT and OK is worth Y points. Each GREAT is worth Y/2 points. All
other types of steps are worth no points.
So, your maximum possible score is 10 million.
The grades are AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, and E.
AAA = 10 million
AA = 9.5 million
A = ?
B = ?
C = ?
D = ?
E = Failed song
---
Extra Stage
If you played your last song on Heavy or Challenge difficulty and the rating
and you got at least a AA on it, you'll access the Extra Stage. Here, you
can select a fourth song to play. If you play on Medium, "Healing-D-Vision"
will also be added to the list. If you play on Hard or All Music,
"Fascination MAXX" will be added to the list.
Your Extra Stage must be played on Heavy or Challenge. The song will be
played with the options 1.5x and Reverse turned on. Your Dance Meter is
special here, too. Instead of a normal Dance Meter, you'll have a No Recovery
Dance Meter, which will start completely full. If you misstep, the Dance
Meter will go down, and you cannot increase it back up.
---
One More Extra Stage
If you pass Healing-D-Vision or Fascination MAXX as your Extra Stage, you'll
have one more to play. It's "CHAOS" on "Sudden Death", meaning you can't
get one misstep, or else you'll fail.

3C. Dancing Tips for the Beginner =
===================================
KEEP PRACTICING!
So, you've just got into DDR, eh? Good for you! You've become a part of a
cult sensation that still holds tons of respect in arcades across the country!
This game will probably seem quite overwhelming to you at first, especially
if you watch people play it and watch them do 9-footers. Don't sweat it.
You CAN be as good as them with the proper practice and effort.
If you really want to get into this, definitely play some of the home games
and get yourself a home pad. There are games for the PS2 and X-BOX.
Here are some tips I can give you as a beginner:
1. Get a good feeling for the beat. People who have performed with music have
an advantage. People in marching band have a serious advantage. ~_^ You'll
be stepping to the beat in these early stages, so get used to it now.
2. Now that you have the beat, you must "find the arrows". Yeah, sure. I
know they're right there in front of you, to your sides, and behind you, but
can you hit them without looking? Early on, you'll find that's your biggest
problem: taking a step and not landing on the arrow. If you have to look,
look, but that tactic won't last forever, so before a song takes off, take
some cursory steps to make sure you're hitting arrows.
3. Keep your center. It's not that hard on a defined metal arcade pad, but
make sure to keep that focal point.
4. Use the balls of your feet. You may notice, after some days of a lot of
playing, that your ankles will start hurting. That's normal, and it's
happened to most everyone I know that DDRs. This is your feet telling you to
not step with your heels, but with the front of the foot. Get into that
habit.
5. Now that you have these basics, head into Beginner Mode and start tackling
songs. In particular, get used to the speed of the songs, as well as the
speeding-up, slowing-down, and stopping some songs do. When that just gets
too easy, take a deep breath and head into the real DDR world with Basic
Mode. Try to keep your songs at three feet or below, but don't be afraid to
venture out into the great unknown.
=======================================
3D. Dancing Tips for the Intermediate =
=======================================
KEEP PRACTICING!
Well, you're definitely not a n00b anymore (pardon my French). You're at the
point where you wouldn't completely humiliate yourself at the arcades, but
you probably won't impress many people there. In fact, you may just bore them
with your simple steps. It's time to go to the next level.
So, first tip is to KNOW THE SONGS. You don't necessarily need to memorize
the steps, but have a basic understanding of the song before you go into it.
Even memorize the music itself, the lyrics, etc. so you can whistle along.
Know where the tempo changes may occur, where stops are. Most importantly,
know where the songs musical notes occur in the melody, because these will
be mostly what you step.
Now that we're heading into dangerous territory, there is one big rule that
I have to stress right away:
Remember how in the last part I told you to "find your center"? Well, you've
found it by now, so now it's time to GET OFF IT. That's a crutch that's
let you into the game, but it will hold you back later on. What you have to
learn is to return your feet to the center as rarely as possible, if at all.
Move your feet from one arrow to the next, and don't move them unless you have
an arrow to go to. This is probably the hardest thing you'll ever have to
learn as a DDR player. Once you've relinquished your grip on the center, you
only stand to improve up to the highest reaches of DDR-dom.
This actually leads to the other major point of going intermediate:
Eighth notes. Those are those off-colored ones. You'll have to deal with
a lot of them, so learn to love them now. This is actually a good first step
to leaving the center, because you are absolutely required to step three or
more arrows in succession, and you'll have no time to return to the center at
all. Use groups of three eighth notes to figure how to properly move between
arrows; combinations such as up-left-down, where your right foot goes on up,
left foot goes on left, and your right foot is already carrying back towards
the down arrow, for example. Once you get strings of three down, you'll be
ready to tackle longer strings, of four, five, seven, even nine if they're
not too tangly.
So, for this end, you'll want to go for songs of four to six feet in
difficulty, as well as treading into the pink pink waters of Difficult Mode.
Just about all songs of this difficulty have at least several eighth notes
to give you practice. Take these opportunities to develop your step
combinations for your own style, so you'll be ready to use them when they
appear again in harder songs.
===================================
3E. Dancing Tips for the Advanced =
===================================
KEEP PRACTICING!
All right. You're through messing around, and through getting condescending
looks from your peers at the arcade. It's time to show them what you can
really do and kick it up a notch or three.
First, you better have mastered the stuff from the previous sections. I want
to be able to yell out a song title and for you to hum it right there so you
know what it sounds like. I don't wanna see your feet touch that center,
soldier, or you'll drop and give me fifty. At this point, you should also
have quick enough eye-foot coordination so that matching arrows on the screen
with proper steps is second-nature.
Now, for some new tactics:
Chaos. You'll soon find as you reach the higher levels, that not all arrows
are quarter notes and eighth notes. You'll find sixteenths, twelfths, and
thirty-second notes thrown in to mess you up. Very rarely will they be in
random. Almost always, they'll match up with how the song goes, so you'll
at least have that going for you. So, a thorough knowledge of the songs will
allow you to surmount this hurdle with little difficulty.
Taps. This is the name I like to give eighth notes all on the same arrow.
These are always a pain, because you have to train your foot to tap rapidly on
the same arrow for a possibly long time, and it can really wear you out.
There's no easy way to get around this, you just have to learn it as you go.
Gallops. This is the popular name for a series of steps that has two
sixteenth note steps together, then two sixteen notes of dead space, then two
note steps together, and so on. When you step these notes, you'll feel like
a horse gallopping, which derives the name. Oftentimes, these notes will be
strung so that the last note in one gallop is the first note of the next
gallop. To properly step these, leave your last-stepping foot in place, so
it'll be ready to step the next gallop while your other foot moves to the
next note. This leads to the final tactic.
Axis of Rotation or "crossovers". Contrary to popular belief, you do not have
to have your upper body directly facing the screen at all times. A very
important tactic for the toughest songs is turning your body so that making
truly difficult steps becomes easier. Using alternating feet on long series'
of eighth notes is far less taxing than taking two or more eighth notes with
one foot. The best way to start turning your body is with left-down-right
eighth note combos. Left foot on the left arrow, right foot on the down, and
turn so that your left foot hits the right arrow. It'll be very disorienting
at first, but the hard songs will really take it out of you if you don't
learn. After learning a basic turn, learn to maintain your body at a 90
degree angle to the screen for extended periods of time, and then taking it
further by rotating 180 degrees, or even 270 and 360, if you're brave enough
to take your eyes off the screen.
Finally, it's important to be in relatively good shape for this. You have to
have the proper stamina and leg strength to pull off the toughest ones,
because rather dexterous and tiring feats will be required of you, so keep
pounding at it, do hard songs repeatedly to build up strength, and push
yourself harder and harder to go all the way up to the great green Expert
Mode.
And lastly, never tackle 10-footers without a good insurance plan backing
you up. ^_^
==============================
3F. Dancing Tips for Doubles =
==============================
KEEP PRACTICING!
Get ready to relearn DDR all over again as you branch out towards the second
pad.
Okay, you probably should begin your Doubles career after at least mastering
Difficult on Single, but it's best on Expert.
One of the greatest things to "unlearn" from Single Play is to be able to
move your entire body. When playing Single, you'll generally maintain your
upper body in one place spatially, but that definitely won't fly on Doubles.
Crossovers take on a whole new meaning when playing on higher levels on
Double Play. In a general sense, you'll be playing with your left foot on
the right arrow on the left pad, while your right foot will be on the left
arrow on the right pad. A lot of the stepcharts on Doubles are engineered so
you dance around that setup.
After that, it's all pretty much getting used to the new setup. Practice and
practice some more. Build up your stamina, learn how to read eight arrows,
and know where to step.

Artist Notes: Captain Jack was a band led by Franky Gee (Francisco Alejandro
Guiterrez), a Cuban-born American who has done his time in the military.
After leaving the service, he decided to leave the country that seemed so
pro-war to him, so he settled in Germany, where he eventually picked up his
music career. While his style may seem militaristic, his songs are often
about anti-war and pro-unity. He's the male vocalist for this tune, and
Sunny is the female vocalist. The band came to an abrupt end with the
passing of Franky in late 2005.

Gone with the wind I am not
And I visit you too a lot
Passing the gridlock

Hmm, he-he
Oh, hey
Doesn't matter (It doesn't matter)
Doesn't matter at all
Doesn't matter what your friends are telling you
Doesn't matter what my family's saying too
It just matters that I'm in love with you
It only matters that you love me too
It doesn't matter if they won't accept you
I'm accepting of you and the things you do
Just as long as it's you
Nobody but you, baby, baby
My love for you, unconditional love too
Gotta get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up and show you that it
Doesn't really matter what the eye is seeing
Cause I'm in love with the inner being
And it doesn't really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you're in love with me
Doesn't really matter what the eye is seeing
Cause I'm in love with the inner being
And it doesn't really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you're nutty-nutty-nutty for me
(You're so kind)
Just what I asked for, you're so loving and kind
(And you're mine)
And I can't believe you're mine

Here in my head we'll spend a lifetime I live it every day
I'll go insane, I'm so frustrated
A perfect illusion
My only solution, is to dream of you
Running and running this road leads nowhere
Spinning in circles 'till I can't see
Want it so bad, to be going somewhere
This is how I'm living
Girl in a daydream
That's who I am it sounds confusing
I don't know what to do?
I'm standing here but you don't see me
I really notice you
Now that we're here
Tell me you're real
Make me believe
Love me the way that I dream...
I think I'm going crazy
I really need some help
Is this normal?
It shouldn't be like this I need a shrink!
Running and running this road leads nowhere
Spinning in circles 'till I can't see
Want it so bad, to be going somewhere
This is how I'm living
Girl in a daydream

Close your eyes, make a wish
And blow out the candlelight
For tonight is just your night
We're gonna celebrate, all thru the night
Pour the wine, light the fire
Girl your wish is my command
I submit to your demands
I'll do anything, girl you need only ask
I'll make love to you

And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
Till you tell me to

It looks like rain again, she takes a train again
She's on her way again through London town
Where she keeps a tangerine, flicks through a magazine
Until it's time to leave her dreams on the underground
She walks to the office like everyone else
An independent lady, takin' care of herself
She don't build her world 'round no single man
But she's gettin' by, doin' what she can
She is free to be, what she wants to be
'N all what she wants to be, is a modern girl
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na, she's a modern girl
She's been dreaming 'bout it all day long
As soon as she gets home, it's him on the telephone
He asks her to dinner, she says I'm not free
Tonight I'm going to stay at home and watch my TV

Meant nothing to me
Then a guy like you came along

I gotta get my feet on the ground
Unhappy days are over 'cause I can
Always be with you
Lying in your arms day by day,
Makes me feel Ohh... so brand new
Can't stop fallin' in love
Baby you became
Makin' love with you
Is all I wanna do, (wanna do)
Say you love me baby
Say you will always be mine
You'll never break my heart
Can't stop fallin' in love
Give your heart and soul
Stay with me this time
And we'll make history, (you and me)

While everyone holds strange uneasiness and the present uneasiness
Is there any important person who can share the thought?
I catch the past to you and want you to have the power of believing
Since I am in a side always
It may go a steep long way
But when it is could arrive at the destination.
We act for some courage.
A roundabout distance is satisfactory
Lets go to a long distance together...
Strong will which is not defeated at all
While holding it in a breast
We progress to tomorrow.
The power which is not in sight grows up us strongly.
To the future not disappearing.
Lets have the strength which fights.
Lets overcome distress together!
Lets go!! Lets go!! Lets go!!

Lyrics:
En esta tierra que todo hay
En sus campos verdes a correr
Lindas flores que nacen
Para el mundo adornar
Madre tierra a bien decir
Dime donde anda mi amor
Y la tarde está por caer
Estrellas brillarán
Me acuerdo con cariño
Tengo nostalgia de estar contigo
Hoy estoy aquí sola
Canto una canción
Que a ti te gustaba oír
Cóndor llévame a él
Muy cerca de él que es donde quiero estar
Cóndor donde está él
Yo voy a buscar hasta encontrarlo
Voy regalar mi alegre cantar
Me acuerdo con cariño
Tengo nostalgia de estar contigo
Hoy estoy aquí sola
Canto una canción
Que a ti te gustaba oír
Cóndor llévame a él
Muy cerca de él que es donde quiero estar
Cóndor donde está él
Yo voy a buscar hasta encontrarlo
Cóndor llévame a él
Muy cerca de él que es donde quiero estar
Cóndor donde está él
Yo voy a buscar hasta encontrarlo
Voy regalar mi alegre cantar
English Translation:
In this rich land
In its green fields where you can run
Pretty flowers are born
To adorn the world
Mother Nature, tell me for sure
Where my love is
And the sun is beginning to set
Stars will shine
I remember with love
I have nostalgia of being with you
Today, I am here alone
I sing a song
That you liked hearing
Condor, take me to him
So close to him which is where I want to be
Condor, where is he?
I will search until I find him
I am going to give him my joy of singing
I remember with my love
I have nostalgia of being with you
Today, I am here alone
I sing a song
That you liked hearing
Condor, take me to him
So close to him which is where I want to be
Condor, where is he?
I will search until I find him

Genre: Filter House*
BPM: 130
Difficulty:

BEG: 1
BSC: 4 3
DIF: 5 6
EXP: 6 7
Play Notes: There are a couple of stops in this song, right before the first
run of the chorus and right before the last run of the chorus, and it happens
as the drums stop. There aren't any weird steps put there, so even if you
don't find the stops as they come, you'd be able to pick it back up.
Exp. Notes: Little serious stuff to note here. The "I'm movin', I'm movin'"
parts in the first and third time through the chorus are all followed by
the steps. Watch for steps coming in on the offbeats, and the same with the
freeze arrows. There's a little bit of chaos in the middle as you hit two
gallops, but they're easy to see.

Wait till I come back to you"

I was the happiest guy
That's what everyone said (everyone said)
But, inside I was lonely then
Still I played my part so well
No one could ever tell
Just a smiling face
On an empty shell
And then
Look what you did when you came along (Look what you did)
Made me see I was wrong (What you did)
I felt so thick
I'm losing my mind
But, I don't really care cause I'm satisfied
Look what you did to me now (Look what you did)
My resistance is all breaking down (My resistances)
Now it's up to you
I'm in love with you, anyhow
(When I dream of you)
Oh, won't you look (what you did)
Look what you did to me now
Turned my universe upside down
I don't recognize who I was any more
I guess I was just playing a clown
I thank heaven above (heaven above)
For showing me what it's made of (it's made of)
Look what you did to me now (Look what you did)
I'm in love

English Translation: (Thanks, Zonic!)
A white feather floated down into this world
Surely, we seek out beautiful, shining moments
Because there are limits to our existence
When I first began to dream in those shutaway, spiritless days
I want to touch you
One day, you, who knew nothing of that sort of existence, said goodbye
Why am I only allowed to see you off, without even
A way for me to tell you these feelings that have awakened
After thousands of years?
The shadows fade into the distance!
No way to tell you my heart; let me at least try to tell you!
Miracles happen in exchange for a single tear that becomes "eternity".

Lyrics:
Getting lifted to the touch of jazz
Staying true to the game
Real love
When I say your name
Lingerie, candlelight, wine and dine
Punch line
Nonstop dedication
Rock the nation
24-7
It feels like heaven
Can't you see the chemistry?
Words, rhymes, melody, poetry
You know me
Hard times long gone
Let's get it on
For what you did for me, I'm so grateful
You lifted what was low, now I'm free
You took the blinders off, I see clearer
Created peace where the confusion had overtaken my soul
You keep on liftin' me
You keep on liftin' me up, and
You keep on liftin' me
Now I wanna say I'm feelin' better
You keep on liftin' me
You keep on liftin' me up, and
You keep on liftin' me
Now I wanna say I'm feelin' better
Standing in the dark
When you walked in
I take my time to drop the right line
'Cause you so fine
Your shine
Now you're mine
It's meant to be
Together forever baby
We are the dream team
True love, it don't stop
Like jazz and hip hop
The mixture of body and soul
Our future goal
Making dreams come true
Coming strong, baby boo
Just me and you
Yeah, you know how we do
Come on, lift me
Lift me up
Ohhhh

Lyrics:
Enfin j'arrive à te détester et toi
Tu dis que tu m'aime c'est trop tard maintenant
Les mots doux ou tes larmes ne me disent rien
Tu ne pourrais jamais imaginer mes souffrance
Je t'aime, je n'ai que toi, quelle bêtise j'ai fait!
C'était une illusion que jamais autre fille
Nous avons promis de nous marier
Ne me dis pas que tu ne reviendras jamais
Orange, l'amour est orange
Oui nous sommes mélangés dans un jeu d'ange
Orange, l'amour est orange
C'est dangereux, quand je finirai son jeu?
Enfin j'arrive à te détester et toi
Tu dis que tu m'aime c'est trop tard maintenant

English Translation:
At last I get to hate you and you
You say that you love me it's too late now
The sweet words or your tears don't tell me anything
You could never imagine my pain
I love you, I've only got you, what a silly thing I did!
It was an illusion that never another girl
We promised to wed
Don't tell me that you will never return
Orange, love is orange
Yes we are mixed in an angel game
Orange, love is orange,
It's dangerous, when I'll finish his game?
At last I get to hate you and you

Lyrics:
Follow your dreams, follow your heart
Follow your dreams, follow your heart
Follow your dreams, follow your heart

When the world seems so lost in itself

Don't forget that you're not by yourself
For together we can make this world a better place
Give it a chance (There's time to save this planet now)
Give us a hand
Find the way to help Mother Earth (It is not too late to give her a chance)
Help make her proud (We can work a way to building up a new future)
The twinkling stars are watching from above (Keeping an eye on us)
What we do today can make another difference (Open your heart and your mind)
What we do today can make another difference (To the world now)
(Make a difference)
What we do today can make another difference (Open your heart and your mind)
What we do today can make another difference (To the world, do it now)

Together we can make it better now
Together we can build a better world
Together we can make it better now
Together we can build a better world. Now's the time

And you've got to visualize
There's someone still in your heart
I know it's really true
I know they're waiting
Baby, waiting only, only for you
Just have faith, keep your head up
And watch your love for me
Believe in your dreams
'Cause, you can make them come true
Just let yourself go (let yourself go)
You've got to believe
That happy thoughts will come
It's plain to see
Ohhh ohh ohh
Please just remember

There is someone waiting for you
Someone just like you
Believe in your dreams
The world is waiting for you
It's all up to you

Believe in your dreams
Life is not what it seems
Just try to believe (try to believe)
Just bring out the light
Love will take you there

8E. MAX 300 (Super-Max-Me Mix) =

Artist: Jondi & Spesh
Genre: Hardcore Techno/Trance*
BPM: 140-320
Difficulty:
Sgl Dbl
BEG: 3
BSC: 6 6
DIF: 8 9
EXP:10 10
CHA:10! 10!
Play Notes: The song carries on at a MAX's normal 300 for a bit of the first
part. After the trancey sounds, it cuts up to 320, then drops for a couple
of measure to 140, then resumes the 300, and closes out at 320.
Exp. Notes: Some say this is harder than MAXX UNLIMITED and beyond. I'd
say it's comparable. If you've played both MAX 300 and MAXX UNLIMITED, the
steps should be familiar, since it's kind of a split between the two. Be
very careful about losing your stamina in the opener, because there are a lot
of doubles in the beginning, which can drain you easily. And of course, I'd
be lynched if I neglected to mention the end, which is a bunch of short to
long to giant streams. Fortunately, most of these streams alternate feet,
which is markedly easier than stepping around the pad.
Challenge Notes: Yes, harder than the Heavy steps. Lots of jumps in the first
half, which can really drain you, and remember how I said the Heavy steps
aren't as bad because they alternate steps? Yeah, now they go all around
the pad for the final long streams. Have fun, now.

There are plenty of streams, but only the last one is of any serious length.
There are several points at which the whole thing goes off-beat, and early
on, there are a couple of sixteenth note runs. Watch for some doubles in
some short streams, and be careful of the three stops. Especially on Heavy,

Lyrics:
Sittin' around, watchin' TV
Looking for something to do
When all of a sudden, a commercial comes on that says
"Hey! Come to the zoo!"
So, me and my friends, we go out in the car
Didn't have much gas
You think we didn't have to go too far
Didn't have to go too far
First things first, we got some ice cream
And then we headed over to tease the monkeys
Stuck my tongue out and made the monkey frown
Tryin' to be cool with my friends around
Well, I guess he had enough of me
'Cause when I turned my head, he stole my ice cream
That little monkey stole my ice cream
And everybody laughed at me
That little monkey stole my ice cream
Everybody made fun of me
That little monkey made a monkey out of me
As the day came to an end
We walked right by the monkey again
And as he was swingin' from tree to tree
I swear that monkey was laughing at me
Don't monkey with the monkey
Don't monkey with the monkey
Don't monkey with the monkey
Don't monkey with the monkey
That little monkey made a monkey out of me
That little monkey made a monkey out of me
Don't monkey with the monkey
Don't monkey with the monkey
Don't monkey with the monkey
That little monkey made a monkey out of me

BPM: 300
Difficulty:

BEG: 3

EXP:10! 10!
Play Notes: There are several stops throughout this song. It's tough to
point them out without using the music to as a reference. Just know there
are a few.
Exp. Notes: Oh yeah. This one's a mess. Mostly straight streams, but
with such a high speed and the fact that the streams occur at odd points
in the song make this nice and difficult. Then, it gets really nasty
near the end where some short freezes are thrown into the streams, which
can really throw you off. Just remember that the freezes are so short
you almost don't have to stay on them.

Play Notes: Several seconds into the song, it will slow down to half speed,
then pick back up to normal speed after a couple of measures.
Exp. Notes: The slowdown spot is full of off-beats, and it speeds back up in
the middle of a stream, so make sure you know where it is. After that, it's
mid-length streams with crossovers, and some off-beat freezes.

Lyrics:
Totally helplessly crazy so crazy in love with you
So crazy so crazy in love
There ain't nothing I can do
Try to escape from this love that so blinds me
You, you hold the key, to set me free, my love
I'm so totally into you
There ain't nothing I can do
I'm so totally into you
All the time, my baby
I tried to break from this passion that binds me
But what, what can I do, when it's just you I see
I'm so totally head over heels over you
There ain't nothing I can do
I'm so totally into you
Over you, my baby
Totally into you
What am I supposed to do
I'm so head over heels over you
Over you, my baby
Crazy love
Crazy love

English Translation:
Fly on the wings of the wind
to the homeland, our home song
where we sang freely loving
where me and you felt so freely
There beneath the burning sky
Languid breezes cooled us
There beside the mountains
Straight above the silver sea
Fly on the wings of the wind
to the homeland, our home song
where we sang freely loving
where me and you felt so freely

Hold still while I get the noose

Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah, mmmm...
Love is in the air
It started one weekend
That's when I knew love would begin
If he would just give, give me some time
I walked up and asked
If he liked to slow dance
He nodded his head and he said "Yes"
I knew he would fall for me
Everybody said itd never last
Said that I'm dreaming, and I'm going to fast
Oh, don't believe us when you hear what you hear, I say yeah
Saturday night
I'm getting ready for the time of my life, girl
I want this man, so I put up the fight
If you believe in love, wave your hands and say yeah
Saturday night
Sunday night, it began for you
Tuesday night, we'll make dreams come true
You'll hold on, 'cause one night just won't do
Just to find you'll be lovin' me, too
Saturday night is for love, so lets get this right!

Green grass blows in the wind, dancing
It would be a much better sight

Never felt so lonely then you came along
So, now what can I do?
I'm strung out, addicted to you
My body aches, now that you're gone
My supply fell through
You gladly gave me everything you had and more
You craved my happiness
When you made me feel joy, it made you smile, but now
I feel your stress
Love was never meant to be such a crazy affair, no
And who has time for tears?
I never thought I'd sit around and cry for your love
'Til now.

See me soak in the rain
No compassion
Nothing matters
My resistance is waning
Like a flower
In the basement
Waiting for a lonely death

Play Notes: The first half of the song is at the 93 bpm, then there's a stop,
and the rest of the song is at 191.
Exp. Notes: The opener is pretty simple, only a few sixteenths thrown in to
add variety. Once the song really gets underway, expect short streams,
leading into longer streams, but nothing too difficult to step.
Challenge Notes: Several double steps have been added to the opener. The
length of the streams in the second half hasn't changed much, but the streams
are far more difficult, requiring a lot of crossovers, and some streams have
double steps in them.

the drums. You also tend to bounce around the pad more often than the Heavy

American Appearances: DDR Extreme 2
Artist Notes: RE-VENGE is the same as RevenG, a Naoki psuedonym.
Misc. Notes: This piece was originally in DDRMAX2 as a secret song only
playable through an Oni Course. It was first selectable as a song in DDR
Extreme for the arcade. So, what's a "Nonstop Megamix"? Well, the deal is
that Konami and Toshiba-EMI release soundtracks for the DDR games in Japan.
These soundtracks consist of two discs. One has all the new songs to that
mix, and the other disc has them all in a giant continuous track called a
"Nonstop Megamix", which basically connects them all through intros and
outros and throws DDR sound effects and voice in. Sometimes (like in the
case with SEXY PLANET), the music is changed a bit to fit the NSMM better, or
how the composers are feeling that day. This song has the background video
from DDR Extreme 2.

Artist: RE-VENGE
Genre: Tribal
BPM: 200
Difficulty:

BEG: 2
BSC: 5 6
DIF: 7 7
EXP: 9 9
Play Notes: It's worth pointing out that all difficulties but Beginner have
seven simple quarter notes on each of the "Jawa obalabala" parts, and they're
all the same pattern. Also, you always step the percussion hits at the end
of the song.
Exp. Notes: A tough nine-footer. The big problem is at the first "Hey, vibe"
part, where you have a long stream of changing alternating steps, and then
a series of "left, up, right, left, down, right", using turns you've become
used to, only these are all in the same stream. Be sure to use alternating
feet for that and practice those steps. After that, it's actually relatively
smooth sailing. Once you get to the second half, you'll run into a recurring
stream that keeps one foot on the up arrow, and at the end, the percussion
hits are all double steps.

To meet your needs I'll even run a mile
Be prepared, we're gonna have some fun
And the time has come

Stay in bed like we don't care

You know you're drivin' me crazy

Hey baby, what did ya think of that?

Ring that bell for us

Done you wrong, and left you low
I said, don't worry love (don't you worry, baby)
I'm here, for you (Don't you fret)
But what I'm gonna say is I'm the one you should pursue
Give into love, give into me, give me that good love
Baby, gimme your love, I'm the one you should give your love to
Baby, gimme your love, give me your love, give me your love
Sweet, sweet love
Gimme your love, I'm the one you should give your love to
Why is it you can't see, what is right here, right here in front of you

Exp. Notes: An intermediate-level nine-footer, I'd say. You'll be facing
just quarters and eighths, so don't expect weird rhythms at all. What you
should expect, once the lyrics start, is a series of turns that go all the
way around the arrows. For the first half of the song, you'll see three-note
streams, and seven-note streams, mostly, all of which start either on the
measure or halfway into the measure. There are a couple of four-note streams
that don't start on the beat, but they match the guitars, so they're easy to
predict. Once you hit the bridge (with the spoken lyrics), you'll find the
most painful part of the song. You have to stay on a freeze note for two
measures while your other foot matches up the guitar hits. After that, it's
a series of "double step, then five-note turning stream", then back to what
you've seen before with seven-note streams.

These days you've crossed the line,
Who cares 'bout rules you have in mind-
I'm gonna break out of this world
And fly high to the skies!
You can never forgive anything I do
Don't you see I wanna be free too
Us together is nothing you need
Let's just crash this party!
Be always there strong and fierce
For I can only think of you
Won't believe there's an end-
For the distance let's find a true tomorrow!
Break Down! Blasting what I love: music!
Heightening tension, send it all to outer space!
Engine maxxed out, gonna jump on this jet stream
Every bit of anger and sorrow- get it all out of my life!
[Hey girl! Your sad story is tiring me out
I don't need it- you've gotta be like low-level?]
Let's go! Until I'm about to explode-
Until I can't hear a word, gonna cut through to your heart
Let's go! I'm maxxed out- You can never fight me-
Cuz I'll never lose! Cuz I just want to be yours!

Exp. Notes: I'd put this at actually slightly easier than the original, but
oh well. There are mostly three-note streams in here, with a few longer ones,
and a couple of sections where you'll gallop for two steps.
Challenge Notes: Oh, this song had a second Heavy chart? Apparently, it
showed up in 4th Mix Plus. Anyway, this is a far bigger mess than the
original Heavy. Long streams everywhere, with jumps inserted, and
crossovers all over the place. Yuck.

EXP: 6 7

Exp. Notes: For the most part, you'll find small streams and quarters.
There are a few tough spots, such as a couple of streams of three double
steps, and during the bridge, you'll step two eighths, three sixteenths, then
another eighth, then a quarter, and do that for a while. You may think it
follows the music, but it doesn't.
Challenge Notes: The streams have become longer, but not too much. The
bridge of the song now actually follows the rhythm of the song, which can
possibly make these steps easier than the original Heavy steps.

you reach the lyrics, you'll find long streams with turns, and streams with
doubles thrown in. Nothing more difficult than that, but there are a lot
of them.

Lyrics:
You've broken my heart
Boy, you've torn my live apart
Oh, right from the very start
Now, I've got to get this guy out of my head
Before I lose control, you were
The only, man to feel my love (feel my love)
Now, it's changed, and you know
That you cut me like a knife
You've broken my heart (broken my heart)
This can't be right (no, no, not right)
I'm teling you I know it's true,
That I'd die for you (die for you)
Baby, broken my heart..
Oh, no, no (oh no)
Baby, you were everything (everything)
Now you say it's over,
I know - that you won't be coming back
You've broken my heart
Torn me apart
It can't be right
Maybe I was wrong to see
The evil in you (evil in you)
Broken my heart (broken my heart)
Right from the start (yeah, from the start)
I just can't believe it's true
You throw me away (throw me away)
Baby, broke my heart..

Set up a big fire

Let's get it up, 'cause now's the time
I really wanna make you mine tonight
Let's put in the fight
You and me, on a fantasy
And if you really wanna learn, I'm gonna show you how to burn
Burn, burn, burn's the fix
And tell me, do you really wanna roll with this
The heat is on, it's time to move
So where you know just what to do
The temperatures rising, no way out
Going too far, can't stop now
So let me know if you feel it, too
When the fire gets inside of you
Where have, you been all of my life
I've been, looking for you
I wanna dance through, dark into the daylight with you
I wanna burn!
(Look out on the dancefloor)
(It's waiting for you)
It's time to burn
Burn, burn, burn, you burn me
Your body's talking to mine (you burn me)
Sizzling sensation, our bodies like it in time (oh yeah!)
You know we gonna burn, burn, burn the fire, they don't make it anymore (talk

10F. Burning Heat! (3 Option Mix) =

Artist: Mr. T with Motoaki.F
Genre: 12 Beat* (Konamix)
BPM: 166
Difficulty:
Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
BSC: 2 2
DIF: 5 6
EXP: 9 9
Play Notes: Two stops here; at the beginning after several steps, and at the
end, just before the last two notes.
Exp. Notes: Definitely a hard nine-footer, probably the third hardest Heavy
song. First off, there are almost no eighth notes in this song, per se.
Almost every time you see streams, they'll be too off to be eighth notes, but
they're not quite gallops, either. They're actually triplets, with one note
in the tri-puh-let series removed. Also, once the main melody begins, you'll
find that the steps follow it very closely, and all the notes are triplets.
It's basically the same throughout the whole song. If you know how the song
sounds, you'll find it easier, but there are still some nasty turns that the
song throws at you to keep you honest.

Play Notes: The song largely goes at 250 BPM for the majority, then drops to

Exp. Notes: The main difficulty is speed. The steps will largely follow
the music with offbeat steps and some small streams. The only really
difficult part is the drum solo about halfway where the steps follow fairly
well.

Exp. Notes: Welcome to Flavor Country, ladies and germs. There are a few
gallops to contend with at the main chorus, and at the bridge, but the
majority of the entire song is massive waves of streams with crossovers and
multiple taps, all coming at a nice crisp 170 BPM. This is a very good song
for practicing your stamina and crossovers.

Lyrics:

Unhappy days are over 'cause I can

Lying in your arms day by day,

Can't stop fallin' in love
Tell me you will be true (forever baby)
I just can't stop dreaming of you

Say you love me baby
Say you will always be mine
You'll never break my heart
I just can't stop fallin' in love
Baby you became
Makin' love with you

Lyrics:
I'm gonna go my way!
Come with me, you muthas!
Let's go!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Break the doll and get out of here
Come with me now
Now we are goin' our way
I wanna show you baby
The world you've never seen
Cause it can happen now
So hold on tight, babe
It is a wild world out there
When you can open your eyes
No need to be afraid
Stay with me baby
You are the one to keep me sane
Baby take my hand and love me now
I don't wanna know what they say
No no I don't care
They can tell me nothin'
I'm gonna go my way
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Break the doll and get out of here
Come with me now
Now we are goin' our way
C'mon!
Go on and fall apart!
Let's go! Ahh!
I don't wanna know
Which way to go, just keep on going
There is no time
No time to be wastin' now
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Now is the time, let's get out of here
Come with me now
Nothing can ever stop us
Thank you!

Exp. Notes: They throw a little bit of everything at you in this song, but
just a little bit. You get some freezes at the beginning, then we get into
turns, then a long fifteen-step stream, then some sixteenths when Paula's
lyrics kick back up. Halfway through the chorus, the steps will match the
lyrics. During the bridge, the steps will generally match the synthesizer.
Careful, as the rhythm will syncopate. After that, it's much of the same
you've already seen: a few turns, some long streams, sixteenths thrown in
with a bit of warning, and a few freezes near the end.

Lyrics:
Everyone dance with me, everyone
(Get on the dance floor now!)
And this is your last chance for a dance tonight
(Aaaaaahhhhhhh, yeah!)
Ready, set, go - c'mon take a chance
Move away 'till forever, dance
There's plenty more, what we've got in store
But this jam don't start until we hit the floor
So c'mon everybody, from left to right
D2R is here, it's party night
If you want romance, forget this show
On the floor, party now, forevermore!
Everybody dance with me
Let the music move your feet (c'mon c'mon c'mon)
Everybody dance with me
Dance with me, let the music move your feet for me
C'mon, baby
Work that body
We're gonna dance, dance, dance
All day, all night, ooohh right
I'm gonna come back
With a rhyming fit
Below the deck
Here's another hit
Quicker to the steps
As high as I can see
Let your body jack
'Till you feel the beat
All I wanna say is on the count of three
Put your hands in the air where my eyes can see
9 to 5, bring it to the floor
So c'mon, make me run up and move!
Listen to the DJ play
Jams to make you wanna sway
So c'mon baby, take my hand, make some plan
Feel that romance is here to stay
Throw your hands up in the air
Wave them like you haven't got a care
I want you to romance with me, dance with me
Help the music set your body free
D2R!

Artist Notes: Info on Naoki can be found in the FAQ. The vocalists for this
tune are Aundrea Hopkins and Londell "Taz" Hicks.
Misc. Notes: The name D2R can be translated as "D2" meaning "DD", so you get
"DDR". Technically, this song came out on beatmania IIDX 7th Style first,
but since DDRMAX2 came out a few weeks later, it's more or less considered a
simultaneous release, and since the composer is Naoki, he would like you to
consider it a new DDR song first.

Play Notes: The song starts at 143, then picks up to 172 about a third of the
way through.
Exp. Notes: It's all streams, following the lyrics, naturally. The streams
aren't particularly long, mostly seven-steps for the most part with a few
getting longer (except the last few lines, which is one long stream), but the
steps themselves tend to involve crossovers a lot. There are also a few
jumps that end off the streams.
Challenge Notes: It's not TOO much harder (same foot-rating, after all), but
it's a bit more complicated in the streams. There are several streams that
repeated arrows of the same kind (taps), and more jumps ending streams.

Nonsense language from a rotating head, high tension and a firm beat
From a 5-match janken match I guide comes tactics for big opinions
35 plus 4 divided by 2, the partygoers who don't burst open don't know
This sociable sound demon screwing into an obtuse angle easily
They dunno where from or where to, but anyway he divided the sound
Everyone's winding chatter is a dangling handkerchief
An alteration in the radar and in the nonsense coming over the airwaves
If you start snorin', your heartbeat that's goin' up as much as your
personality changes
Is really greedy, but there's power and land of the priest's staff
And since I was born, I've kept on playin' like this.

Song Type: Konami Original
First Appearance: pop'n music 6
DDR Debut: DDR Extreme (Arcade)
Artist Notes: See the FAQ for info on Des-ROW, Osamu Migitera.
Misc. Notes: "Dai kenkai" means "big opinion" in Japanese. "Janken", is more
locally known as "Rock, Paper, Scissors". "Don Pach" is one of two things,
a popular Japanese confectionary similar to pop rocks, or the sound a
machine gun makes (probably the latter). Oh, and the lyrics are really not
supposed to make sense. This song has the background video from DDR
Extreme 2.

Exp. Notes: A relatively easy nine-footer. There's not too much about this
song that stands out. You'll have several psuedo-triplets as you follow
the synth rhythm, and there are gallops thrown into the streams on the
verses. You'll also find several crossover instances, and the final measure
is repeated gallops.
Challenge Notes: What seems like an easier Heavy that hardly follows the music
at all is actually a showcase of Heavy steps from other Naoki songs, like
BRILLIANT 2U (Orchestra Groove), DEAD END, DYNAMITE RAVE, AFRONOVA, END OF
THE CENTURY, AM-3P, CELEBRATE NITE, and B4U, in that order.

Lyrics:
It's the nonstop!
Dance, dance, dance, dance.
Here we go (can you feel it)
Let's rule the rhyme
Feel the groove
And the electro glide
Can you feel the beat this way
So come on and let your body sway
Front, back, side-to-side, the motion,
And material and air force glide.
When you can do it,
And feel the light,
So get here pump the bump
Ee-Yah!!
Move your body, m-m-move your body!
Oooh (Yeah, come on!)
Come on move your body
Movin' groovin', yeah
(Everybody) It's time for you to get on the floor!
(Move your body) Everyone comin on to the sides
Dance dance dance!
Move your feet, now come on!
Be the one to know, we can get down!
Yeah-yeah can ya hear the sound? (Can your body?)
We're one place down, so don't tire yet
Feel that? We're the highest of all. (Movin to the groovin)
Higher and higher 'til the break of dawn.
At dawn, we may never come down,
That's when ya feel and ya hear it now
Near the ground, rock anyway
Let the party go on in the place today!
Come on let's party, (n-n-n-n-n-never stop the groovin')
Don't, don't stop the groove (Yeah, come on!)
Ooh! Move your body, gotta move,
Move your body (I know you can feel it)
Move your body, (all over my body, I know)

Move you want to, you want to move your body

Exp. Notes: The beginning is pretty basic. Once you hit "I just knew deep
down in my heart", it starts playing with you, throwing in some offbeat
doubles. The main chorus has some turns, and a freeze that you have to hold
for a while, while your other foot steps. Once the lyrics cut for a bit,
you have to follow the piano rhythm. Soon afterwards, you'll hit some on-
the-beat gallops mixed in with doubles. Right before the second chorus,
you hit those doubles right with the big synth hits. You also step with the
synth hits at the end.

Lyrics:
Falling, my whole world is falling
Without you in my life so hard to keep from dying
When your eyes met mine
Everything seemed fine
Always making love with you (with you)
You said that you loved me
Always be with me
Forever and ever
But on that day
When I awoke
And I found I was alone
I just knew deep down in my heart
No more me and you
You were my destiny (my destiny)
That's how it's supposed to be
That's the way it's really meant to be
I knew I just had to set you free
I could keep on following you
Never letting you go (ohhhh...)
Following you and losing all my pride (yeah...)
Calling you and never letting you go (ohhhh...)
Following you
But you'd run
You, you were my destiny (my destiny)
I was planning for eternity
Something came and took you away from me
Baby you (baby you), you were my destiny
You were the only man in this world for me (ohhhh...)
Meant to be
But now you've run away, destiny

Lyrics:
Know what you wanna do, get into the groove
Well you just gotta move
And soon you'll know just what you really gotta do
So take it easy now, I can show you how
Just feel the beat inside, let the rhythm take hold and do it right
You can't give up, you can't give in
When things are looking like your world is tumbling down, you fight
You make the cut, you play to win
It's guaranteed to be alright
Just do your best, just give your all
Dance to your rhythm, you can make forever start tonight
Don't let it rest, you'll never fall
Believe me
Know what you do
Ain't nobody holdin' the future back
Gotta go 'cause you know you'll leave it in your tracks
And when all is said and done, and looking back now
Is it all how you dreamed it would be way back then?
Love is just a game
Play to see if we can get it right
God above sends his love to those who see his light
Even if you don't know, he's been there for you too
Did you think you'd get this far without his love?
I tell you what
Know what you wanna do, get into the groove
Well you just got to move

Exp. Notes: This song of high tempo may seem pretty tame from the
get-go, but that's before you hit the quarter-note streams of double steps.
Those hurt. Once you pass those two sets (on the second set, keep one foot
on the down arrow to ease it), it's smooth sailing for most of the song,
until you hit the "dropping whistle" sound, where it starts throwing
eighths at you, then a sixty-four note long stream of eighths. If you're
still alive here, you have one last set of double steps to close out the
song with.

Lyrics:
Sorry, but could I have the music louder?
Yeah drop the bomb! Just drop the bomb!
I'm kinda dizzy, 'cause of my dreams...
Yeah drop the bomb!
1, 2, 3, 4!
Getting sick and tired of the fossil-like system
Now or never it's the time to resist 'em
It's easy to blast them all away
Pull a trigger, push a button, say adios to today
Don't get me wrong, I'm a pacifist
The mind can do more than the fist
Explosives are not what it takes
(You know, terrorists always make these mistakes)
What we gotta do is build momentum
If you need the right tools invent 'em
Ride the wave of time, come feel the rhythm
The march to the future has begun, get with 'em
The brain is the generator of almighty power
Either do it now or your master plan goes sour
Yeah! Are you ready to take that fall?
It's up to you to make that call to drop the bomb!
Yeah, drop the bomb!
Just drop the bomb!
Let me see that bomb!
Just...
What we gotta do is build momentum
If you need the right tools invent 'em
Ride the wave of time, come feel the rhythm
The march to the future has begun, get with 'em
The brain is the generator of almighty power
Either do it now or your master plan goes sour
Yeah! Are you ready to take that fall?
It's up to you to make that call!
1, 2, 3, 4!
So, drop the bomb!
Yeah, drop the bomb!
Just drop the bomb!
Let me see you drop that bomb!

Genre: Speed Rave*
BPM: 150
Difficulty:
Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
BSC: 5 5
DIF: 7 6
EXP: 9 8
CHA: 9 8
Exp. Notes: This song will definitely wear you down if you're not used to
catas. It has everything a good cata should, though: long streams,
sixteenths thrown in, double steps on some of the shorter streams, and
chaos. At the beginning, you'll have to deal with some syncopation, as the
first four notes are on the eighth-note beat, the next three are off, and the
last two aren't, and that keeps up for several measures. Once the verse
starts, you'll have eighths with groups of three sixteenths regularly thrown
in. You'll get a bit of a respite from sixteenths once you get to the
chorus, but those are replaced with doubles-in-streams, and long streams,
then back to the second verse for more sixteenths, and then back to the
chorus for more long streams and doubles. Good luck to you.
Challenge Notes: Possibly a bit simpler than the original Heavy steps, but
not by much. There are more crossovers to focus on, and a few freezes to
deal with, but not too much has changed conceptually from these new steps.

Exp. Notes: This was originally an eight-footer, but they bumped it up

rap lyrics, that involves streams that aren't too long, but are very tough
to step, with multiple turns, and then those streams start throwing in double
steps, which requires you to make some quick leaps at this speed. During the
chorus, it's a little bit easier, with double steps on quarters and some
small streams.

Lyrics:
End of the century
Misery, can it be chaos who's the boss
Suffer a great loss
Man woman child
No longer exist
Only the good ones will be missed
Life, love, cherish it all
Who will be left to conquer it all
The end is coming
Don't start running
There's nowhere to run
Don't grab a gun
All over the land hear this roar
No one know what's in store
Look for the star, he's on his way
No one knows what to do today
Love your self and all around
In a blink of an eye
You won't hear a sound
Your heart is pounding at rapid speed
Man will always feel the need for greed
Let's go for it
Now you can't miss
Al-though-this-was-the-be-ginning
Beware because the end is here
The sky is falling
Eyes are bawling
You had your chance
To make your stance
Love is a must
Life don't lust
Not time to fuss
People start to cuss
Cry out who's going to care
Have no doubt have no fear
Believe in me I'll show you the way
Some people think the year 2G is so scary
Let's wait and see
The world will shot down most won't admit
People go crazy
People catch fits
Fire breaks out
One way to stop
Play hip hop, non-stop-stop
Remember these words
And what I said
You just might wake up brain dead
The feeling (feeling)
Is amazing (amazing)
Oh boy, I want you (come on and get me)
Some just say the world is changing
Many people will agree
Many changes we are seeing
I just say...
It's the end...
It's the end...
It's the end of the century
End of the century!

in length and difficulty as you progress in the song. Nothing too manic.
Once you hit the slowdown, you'll face arrows that match the percussion hits.
Once you speed back up, you'll face long streams, with triple taps on one
arrow linking some of the shorter streams together. It's a drainer.

Lyrics:
Right now baby, here is the deal
This love that you feel, it's got to be real
I keep seeing these days going by
It's time for no more lies
But I'm so lucky to finally meet
A man who makes my heart skip a beat
I just want this feeling never to end
Maybe if you see
That no more time can pass us by
It's got to be just you and me
No more time for all these lies
It's true this feeling - Is a feeling of love
A wonderful thing, like the heavens above
Sometimes it's crazy, the way that I feel
A thing - I can't explain
I get so happy
From the smile on your face
Your twinkling eyes
It makes me so high
Try to describe it
It's a won-derful feeling of love

Exp. Notes: One of the things this song likes to do is throw double steps
into short streams, and it will do it a lot. Not much to expect besides
that, though, except that just after the "chili been some nasty" or whatever
it is they're saying, you'll face a long stream that will hold one foot to
the down arrow, so be aware of that.

Exp. Notes: This song can get nasty. It'll wear you down with some heavy
streams as well as some double steps in the streams. Once the keyboard
starts up, you'll find yourself stepping chaotic steps to match up with it,
including a rather nasty run of triplets. Near the end, you'll face long
runs of repeated taps on the same arrow.

Exp. Notes: Painful. The whole song throughout contains streams of eighth
notes and off-beats that will take skill to match up. There are also several
gallops in the beginning, and a whole bunch of sixteenth notes as you match
up with the percussion throughout. Really, the only semi-relaxing part is
when you're stepping the off-beats.

In your imagination I guess
It's not the goal but only beginning
Hundred years or more
Don't forget to say "I love you!"

12F. Healing Vision (Angelic mix) =

Artist: 2MB
Genre: Drum'N'Bass
BPM: 46-196
Difficulty:
Sgl Dbl
BEG: 2
BSC: 5 5
DIF: 7 7
EXP: 9 9
Play Notes: It starts super slow, but goes right to the 196 as soon as you
hit the very first step. You'll continue through most of the song as
normal until you reach a very short hold. Only practice and experience
will allow you to pick up where it shows up. Lastly, it will get very
slow for the last couple of notes.
Exp. Notes: To quote ET: "Oouuuuuch". The high speeds of HV:AM and the
long, long streams, with plenty of turns throwing you around the pad make
this a song for the ages. I consider this to be the hardest nine-footer in
this mix. Some won't agree, but who cares. Oh, note that, while BSC and
DIF have you going from the hold to a quarter note. EXP has you going to
a pickup eighth note, so you have even less time for that little rest as you
enter the 130-step stream straight to the end.

Difficulty:

BEG: 2
BSC: 3 3
DIF: 6 6
EXP: 8 9
Play Notes: The songs starts at 98 BPM for eight measures, then speeds up to
the standard 196 for much of the song. A little after halfway through,
you'll come upon the super slowdown, which will lower the BPM to 49 as you
hear heartbeats, then a speed up back to 196 until the end, which drops back
down to 98.
Exp. Notes: The opener is hard, requiring you to follow the opening
percussion, which includes sixteenth notes, and it's not a steady pattern,
either. Once the song gets going, you'll face several streams, short at
first, then getting longer as you get into the song. At the major slowdown,
you'll be tapping the heartbeats, which aren't all spaced apart the same
way. Then, you'll go back up to speed, where you'll find it's relatively
easy to the end.

Lyrics:
Stars are out for us tonight
They're letting our love shine through
People just wait, you've got to stay
Feel the love from the words that I say
Don't you just know how I love you
Couldn't stop it in a million years
But if you ever had to go, no way to stop my tears
Over and over and over you
I'd never get over you
Over you, (over you) over you, (over you)
Never over you
For the sun will shine, if you'd stay mine
There could never be cloudy days
Shining and shining, shining through
All the love that I feel for you
I wish you would stay mine until the end
Yo, whats love got to do (so deep, my love is going deeper)
With us two
Like, not stop shining
When I raise the roof
When I blink without you (deeper, deeper in you)
its true, baby you think I'm
a fool and if you'd stop buggin me
I bust my rhymes, but I'm (my love is going deeper)
upset anyway, can't play
Believe me too, and that's
what love's got to do with us two
For the sun will shine, a new day will come
Our love will keep on flowing
Flowing and flowing, flowing through
The love I'll always feel for you
I wish you would stay mine
Until the end of time
'Til the end of time
Only for you until the end.

To preach havoc and destruction and to strike fear
Demolishin' my foes just like that
I see the fools and they want to combat
So I pull out the same rhyme, don't waste no time
Brushin' them off with the freshest of lines
Picture me, I'm on top of my world now
Picture me, I'm ahead of my game
Never stop, not for anyone, not now
Gonna take you up all the same

Who is the better of the best
Well I've won but they've flunked the test
Stoppin' for no one just like the shogun
My blade is my rhymes, usin' it, then I'm done

Picture me, I'm on top of my world now
Picture me, I'm ahead of my game.
Never stop, not for anyone, not now

Exp. Notes: For a nine-footer, this isn't too bad. Your main problem comes
from knowing the steps, which don't always follow the rhythm of the song.
In the beginning, it follows the rhythm all right, but about halfway through,
you start getting gallops. The steps change so much that trying to go through
all of them would make these notes really long. Suffice to say that it'll
probably take a few plays through to get sharp enough to pick up when you get
eighth notes and when you get sixteenths. There are no turns to deal with,
though, and no tiring step runs.

You're the luckiest one!
I don't need you,
'Cause the truth is
Got my hands full up as it is
But I want you

12R. INSERTiON =

Artist: NAOKI underground
Genre: Euro Trance*
BPM: 110-225
Difficulty:
Sgl Dbl
BEG: 2
BSC: 4 4
DIF: 6 6
EXP: 9 8
Play Notes: After about half a minute of music, you'll have a stop, and when
you start up again, you'll be moving at a bit of a slower pace than before.
You'll soon pick back up to the normal pace, and when you get to the end,
it'll gradually pick up quite a bit until it hits the end.
Exp. Notes: Lots of interesting things in this song. For one, they start
throwing sixteenths and gallops at you right from the beginning. Following
the stop, and after the tempo picks back up, you'll run the same step pattern
over and over, but gallops and eighths will be regularly interspersed. It
actually gets pretty easy when it gets to the final speed up.

streams with lots of jumps thrown in, and later you'll hit long sixteenth
runs. This song is, of course, easier with speed mods on, but where's the
fun in that? Watch for the gallops at the end.

Play Notes: Although I put the tempo as static, it actually slows down at the
beginning before getting back up to speed. The only place this is really an
issue is on Heavy.
Exp. Notes: Plenty of gallops that follow the piano hits. That'd be easy
if it weren't for the fact that eighth notes are regularly mixed in with them,
making it tough to read. There are also a few sixteenth clusters thrown in,
as well as a long stream shortly after the middle (with gallops thrown in).
Challenge Notes: Really, Challenge can just be considered an easier Heavy.
They have very simliar steps, it's just that Challenge has less of them.

You got so much of what you like
You better look at life, cause I've got this for you
Yeah, we want you to savor day, for you to get away
Now if you don't care about what I say, then you gotta think about the time
Because it's on your mind, it got your body goin'
In the motion, as I'm going through this flowing groove, it's funky
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on doin' it

Lyrics:
A fool for love
He knew that his heart was healing
He'd been hurt too much to try again
But when she caught his eye
Ain't no man could fight the feeling
He knew he had to try to let love in
Smile to let her know
She was in the mood for talking
So then he began to play the game
Before he knew it
He had told her how much he'd been hurting
How he was hoping she was not the same
Could you be
The kind of lady that I'm seeking?
After all of this time
Could this be true love?
And she said, Boy you don't have to look no more
I'll give the love you need 'til you holler enough, guaranteed
Not like the rest, boy, I'm a kind lady
You've been hurt but be sure boy I am the cure
And when you wake up late thinking it's a dream
Just touch me boy you know, you can count on me
Believe me
Baby
This lady
You know what you've found in me
Is a lady
Kind o'lady
That can give you what you need
Baby
A kind lady
That will never leave you lonely and
Just maybe
This lady
Finally you've found me, oh
Kind lady

Why do you smile?
Why are you holding me now?
Kiss kiss kiss
Kissing you one more time before
You walk out that door
Wishing behind these lips oh baby please stay (please stay)
Now you know I'm me
Looking down the street
Thought I could handle this moment
But your love was good
So so so good
And it's too much to lose
Miss miss miss
Missing you as you turn around
Walking out that door
My heart is crying out oh baby don't go (don't go)

Dans un monde parfait l'humanité
Existe comme un arc en ciel
Avec des couleurs multiples
Noir, blanc, jaune et rouge
Larmes, larmes

On a besoin d'unifier tout le monde
Pour ensemble vivre dans le monde
L'amour et la liberté c'est tout ce qu'il
Faut pour l'humanité
Sans discrimination raciale
Chaque couleur à l'unison
Brillante et claire
Donnant au monde
Paix et liberté
English Translation:
In a world perfect humanity
Exists like a rainbow
With multiple colours
Black, white, yellow and red
Tears, tears
Tears, tears
If we continue to live like this
Do like this
We need to unify everyone
To live together in the world
Love and liberty is all it
Needs for humanity
Without racial discrimination
Each colour in unison
Brilliant and clear
Giving to people
Peace and liberty

are a lot of short streams, some that follow the music, others that don't.
There are a few points in the song that throw doubles in the streams, but
they aren't too frequent. However, there are a LOT of turning spots here.
In some cases, you're better off stepping two arrows with one foot as
opposed to just turning. This one's a big stamina drainer.

And she's a hot one, a jalepena
Ooh la Senorita

You know she has a mind, she has an attitude
And she likes her space and her solitude
She'll tease you or please you, if she's feeling good

If you're the joker, player, then who's the ace
Hey, yo, it's me, the player to beat, I'm playin' for keeps
I got some special moves, so homey don't sleep
You learn and I teach controllin' the game
You can brag all you want, but you kids don't be rollin' the same
I'm bringin' the pain...
The game is done, you might as well run
My time is come and I'm gonna shine like the sun
No surprise, I'll bust a flip on you guys
The dance moves I do, I'm keepin' it live
Keepin' the vibe, fly-guy style express
Competition is none, player, and I jam like death
I'm the best, can't be beat, you know it's me, keep up the pace
and you'll advance with me, c'mon

You wanna play a tune

Love, love, love, love

Artist: Chang Ma
Genre: Hard Rock
BPM: 95-190
Difficulty:
Sgl Dbl
BEG: 2
BSC: 6 7
DIF: 7 8
EXP: 8 9
Play Notes: The song starts at 95 BPM, then doubles its pace to 190 once you
run out of arrows. It's very obvious, and it has to be, being one of the
first songs to have tempo changes.
Exp. Notes: A stressful tune, to say the least. The slow opening has you
stepping sixteenths on the repeated guitar hits. Once it picks up, it's
all basically a game of keeping up with the song. There are short to medium
streams, some doubles thrown in, and some taps of the same arrow at the end.

Lyrics:
Check one, check one
When I come down I come down right to the sun
Get right down, get right down, legit
Round and round, move like Goldfinger
Make to the script, flip back to the script
Come down, check, reach finesse
Nevertheless I'm impressed with the best
Get to the fever
I'm kickin' the flow,
Cause you know, Bobby-Jo
When I come around
I get down to the hip town sound
Get right down, legit
Two, one, two, three, four
C'mon ya'll, and get on the floor
Get right down, get right down, legit
Round and round, move like Goldfinger
Come down, check, reach finesse
Get to the fever
I'm kickin' the flow,
Cause you left, get right down, legit
Keepin' the rhymes and I kick it to the flow
Come down, check, reach finesse
Nevertheless I'm impressed with the best
Movin' the juice...Huh!
Keepin' the rhymes and I kickin' to the flow! (Love this feelin'!)
I'm kickin' the flow,

Exp. Notes: Nasty. It starts with streams (which start OFF the beat, mind

you'll have to deal with strings of five sixteenths repeatedly, then there's
a bit of chaos that follows the music, then streams with double steps in
them. Good workout.

Lyrics:
Neon signs were shining bright
And in the street lights (the street lights)
I saw your shadow was fading away
Well, I lost you all of a sudden
Good-bye my love, I love you too so
Before you went away, I didn't know
Memories awake, only in my dream
When I think I lost them, they all come back to me
You said that you love me
Looked at me softly
You kissed me and held me all night so tight
I know what you're feeling
I know what you're dreaming
All that you feel and everything in your mind
The memories are so clear (so clear, so clear...)
(So-so many...) So many good years (good years...)
The sweet ones I hold dear (hold dear, hold dear...)
Good-bye my love, I love you too so
Before you went away, I didn't know
Memories awake, only in my dream
When I think I lost them, they all come back to me
The memories are so clear
So many good years
Sweet ones I hold dear
Can't hold back the tears
I need you by my side
These feelings I can't hide
So don't walk away, boy
Baby won't you bring back

Exp. Notes: Here's an old favorite. It's definitely a challenging nine-
footer if you don't have stamina or the concept of gallops down. There are a
LOT of gallops in this song. The whole first several measures is all
gallops. Once the music gets going, you have normal streams followed by a
couple of gallops, and that goes on for a while. Once the whistling picks
up, then you'll have eight-note streams followed by six-note streams for a
long time, then more gallops, then the break (huff, huff), then pretty much
gallops followed by a long stream repeatedly for the remainder of the song.

BPM: 300
Difficulty:

BEG: 3
BSC: 6 6
DIF: 8 8
EXP:10 10
Play Notes: There is one stop in this song. You'll land on a freeze arrow
and slow down to a stop. Count to four after you stop and that's when you
start back up again.
Exp. Notes: Wow, remember this song? It's seem so long since it was new.
Anyway, you'll actually find that the steps follow the music relatively well,
especially at the beginning. Once you get going, you'll find more and more
lengthy streams thrown in (of course, at this speed, seven-note streams are
lengthy). Once you pass the stop, you'll find more streams in odd
configurations. The song actually doesn't require you to turn much at all.
So, I guess you've got that going for you. Just build up your leg stamina
as much as you can, try to use as little energy as possible when stepping,
and memorize as much of the steps as you can. It can be done. It's been
done. It's been AAA'd, for crying out loud, 300 times by one guy...

Difficulty:

BEG: 3
BSC: 6 6
DIF: 8 8
EXP: 10 10
Play Notes: The second famous MAX song is not for wimps. It begins at a
"standard" 300 clip, and carries that way for much of the song. When you
hear the sustained synthesizer hits, you'll have dropped slightly to 280.
You may not even notice it, and then back to 300 once the percussion kicks
back in. Once you reach the soft part, you'll have dropped to 150, only to
kick back up to 300 when the percussion starts again. Then, you'll get
another soft part which will slow down to 140, then a freeze arrow that will
slow to a halt. Count five beats after the arrows stop and finish the song
at a brisk 320.
Exp. Notes: Your only course for victory here is to memorize it. There is
absolutely no way you'll fudge through this song. It's far too stacked
against you. One spot to point out, though. The 150 spot is on with the
music, but the slowdown to a stop part is NOT. You need to memorize
that. After that, remember not to over-exert yourself if you do not need to.
Flow with the song, don't fight it. It doesn't matter how hard you hit the
steps. It just matters that you hit them. Good luck, and don't hurt
yourself.

step triplets one second, then sixteenths another. Make sure you watch

Lyrics:
Who are you
Hope we're through
I just need
You to know
Lonely time was passing by
Who'll think back that this love we share
What would happen to you and me
If we only stay together
Flashing back and you said something and
Turned away (turned away)
Off to my God, I rose
Awake in my bed I'll be letting you go
I, I'll have to let you go (let you go)
I just want you to know
You'll always be the one
The one I love
I, I'll have to let you go (let you go)
And your memories (memories)
Let me forget you

think you should, because this will put you in a lousy position to tackle
the rest of the streams.

Lyrics:
Stole my heart on the dance floor
No way, can't leave no more
What am I supposed to do without you
Make you mine is all I wanna do
Step by step as I approach
I say to myself I need a coach
I know you can read my mind
You're the best that a man can find
I'll be your midnite blaze
Brighter than the moon and stars
Guide you thru the cave of love
I'm gonna dance till the morning
Takes my place to shine the way
When you see the light is not from me
You know it's too late
All nite long you take the lead
Stay with me you're all I need
Please make this moment last
Time is running really fast
Something tells me you must go
Why? I need to know
Do you think we will meet again?
If not my future'll never begin
I'll be your midnite blaze
Brighter than the moon and stars
Guide you thru the cave of love
I'm gonna dance till the morning sunbeam
Takes my place to shine the way
When you see the light is not from me
Told you it's too late
Baby it's too late

Et tout, c'etait miracle

Nos histoires romantiques
On commence tous les deux
Pres de moi?
English Translation:
From the window of your fiat 500
you were looking at me and I saw you
Your taste seems perfect
We understood each other right away completely

And all of it, it was a miracle.

our romantic stories

few doubles in streams. Once the melody starts, you'll have sixteenths
thrown in on the "Summer love, oh-la!" part. Sometimes three, sometimes
two, sometimes five. Of course, the real difficulty of this song is apparent
once you hit the bridge, which is just a long stream of sixteenths, with a
small break in the middle. The only way you can get this one is to practice,
and try to memorize the steps if you can. After the bridge, it's just more
of the same on the melody.

When I step onto the dance floor
I gotta pause and thank the Lord
Thank him for the gifts he gave me

Anytime that I hear the jazz play
I gotta tell them half-steppers "Get out my way"
Trix are for kids and I'm playin' for keeps
I can buy you and sell you, you can keep the receipt
'Cause can't nobody move the crowd the way I do
I feel for any fool that might try to
Heard the boom boom baby girl never you fear
I'm Jonny Dynamite let 'em know I'm up in here
The jazz is on the one, and the music's bumpin'
DJ's got the whole crowd jumpin'
Door to door we go for yours
All we want is more, more jazz
(Can y'all handle more jazz?
Yeah all we want is more jazz
Feel me
Break it down for me now, yo)
Aight now, swing it
Like they used to do
Put the house beat to it and before I'm through
You might learn a thing or two you can show your peeps
And you can catch me on Soul Train late next week
Don't you know I'm all that and a bucket of wings?
I'm on the jazz, when I feel the need to shake my groove thing
When you see me comin' sit back, relax
Tell your boys, look out step back
And feel that jazz
(hot, sexual)
(here I come again, here I come again
Yet again... Dynamite's blowin' up the show
Save my soul)

Genre: Spiritual
BPM: 105
Difficulty:
Sgl Dbl
BEG: 1
BSC: 3 3
DIF: 5 5
EXP: 9 7
Exp. Notes: Considered a nine-footer mainly because of the large
concentration of notes. If you can't read notes closely packed together,
you're in trouble. For the most part, this is just eighths and strings of
three sixteenths. You have to watch, though, because they don't follow
any specific pattern. Sometimes the strings of sixteenths will be longer
than three, but those moments aren't very often. Eyes open, and you can do
this one.

Exp. Notes: The thing that makes this a high-end nine-footer is the double
steps figured into the streams, as well as some awkward stepping rhythms.
Also, when the driving percussion cuts out, you'll find that you won't be
facing straight eighth notes, but an almost psuedo-gallop.

Exp. Notes: Worthy of the name PARANOiA, even if it wasn't done by Naoki.
The steps tend to follow the music, and the streams don't get too long,
which it good because they make you turn and crossover something fierce.
Also, the end has some freezes mixed in with the streams.

and turns more difficult, but there aren't too many long streams, except
at the very end, where there's a pretty lengthy stream to the finish.

barely one, at that. If you've played PARANOiAs before, you have an inkling
of what to expect. A series of small streams that sometimes are off the beat,
and sometimes require turning, as well as a few times when you have to tap one
arrow multiple times. That's about it, really...

they won't let up for the remainder of the song. About the only thing that
changes throughout this whole song is that the streams will start requiring
you to turn and/or keep one foot on one arrow. Couple this with the
standard PARANOiA tendency to go with weird rhythms, and you'll have a
great time.

Difficulty:

CHA: 10! 10!
Play Notes: Very much like PARANOIA survivor. There are the three slowdowns
in the first half to half-speed. At the two freezes, the song slows down
to 73, then there's one more half-speed slowdown near the end. Oh, and
although this seems to be just a faster version of PARANOIA survivor, there
are several extra seconds of music thrown in at the end.
Exp. Notes: Very much like PARANOIA survivor Heavy, for the most part,
except it's Mirrored. Of course, the extra section at the end is its own,
but not too difficult on its own.
Challenge Notes: This is it, folks. One of the hardest official DDR
stepcharts in existence. The streams are all longer, and there's far FAR
less time to relax in between them. And that's about it. There are no
tricks or secrets besides the slowdown sections, which you should be familiar
with by now. All it takes here is a sharp eye and a very VERY high stamina.
613 steps of pain. It can be done.

Play Notes: There are three spots where the song slows down to half speed,
and it's tough for me to say where they show up, but let me say that they're
all in the first half, and with the frequency you'll play this song trying
to master it, you'll learn quick.
Exp. Notes: Short streams for the most part. The slowdowns feature steps
with the music. The streams start both on and off the beat. Once you hit
the two long freezes, your streams will get longer and longer. And, of
course, a BPM of 270 for your troubles. I'd say it's about as hard as MAX
300, maybe a little easier, or not.

The original also has some repeated taps on the same arrow during a stream
that are designed to wear your feet out at that speed. These show up near the

Lyrics:
Put your faith in me, and I'll show you
(Listen to my heart, it's crying)
You bring the reason to doubt it all
(Like I knew, yeah!)
Put your faith in me, and I'll show you
(I just wanna DRIVE you crazy)
You bring the reason to doubt it all
Causing much mayhem, dropping drama
Radical rebel with the need to bomb ya
Fake MCs and I'll hang them higher
The mic is my time, to pay the piper
Crime is blind going off, as I kick them
You and the beat, portrayed as the victim
Maniac, as the cuts, denounces
Supreme, with the war and challenges
Graceful...
Born and raised in Chicago Crook County,
Mike is the only raised Hell like Damian
Pushed through your chest, like the creature in Alien
Pray, like a phantom, on the loose
Hold still while I get the noose
I got your brain in my scope
The plans I hold, so dope, you can't cope
Deadly...
Put your faith in me, and I'll show you
(Listen to my heart, it's crying)
You bring the reason to doubt it all

they'll throw it out and give you a new pattern to play with. There are
spots in the middle where your steps will match the piano, so be glad you get
a little rest. Just play this one over and over until you get the rhythm
down, as it's useless to explain it here, because you won't remember it all.

Lyrics:
Ooh (Can you look at me?) Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ee-Yeah Yeah
Ee-Yeah Yeah
Look at me
Can't you see these tears are cried for you
If you should ever need
I'll be here with nothing else to do
But to think of the creed
That we live in the greed
All the love so careless and free
Make the moment last
Don't relive our past
Just remember we had in and taught you
Got to hold on, got to keep it strong
You see always thinkin' we can do
Got to keep the love a lot
Or leave, so strong I'm not
It's the least that you and I can do
Look into my eyes
See the temper rise
My love is waiting here for you
If you reach up on my hand
I'm sure you'll understand
You'll see how we can make our dreams come true
Ooh

Here, in the place where we first met
So long ago (so long ago), with a smile (a smile)
And a face I can't forget
Though that was long ago
In this town
We shared some history
As I look around, I remember how we used to be
All the things he told me
The way he used to hold me, then
And from now, till forever more
He won't hold me anymore
But it's just the way
That it's gonna be
He won't come back to me
Come to me!
I walk alone, on winter nights
Where we met, we would savor familiar sights
Those healing weeks were memories
Those kisses caress your sensitivity
And from now, to forever more
I remember the one I used to love

Artist: RevenG
Genre: Spiritual*
BPM: 14-320
Difficulty:
Sgl Dbl
BEG: 3
BSC: 5 6
DIF: 8 8
EXP: 10 10
CHA: 9 9
Play Notes: The song begins at 300 BPM and remains there for some time.
About a third of the way through the song, it drops to 150, hangs there for
a few measures, then begins a slowdown all the way to 14. Then after the
slow measure, it goes back up to 150 for several more measures, then makes a
big jump up to 320, where it goes for the rest of the song until the last
few measures, where it quickly slows down to about 90 over the course of
those measures.
Exp. Notes: Many people consider this a difficult 9-footer, as there are
9-footers more difficult than this, but it's still a great challenge, if for
nothing else than the fluctuating speed. The 300 part is pretty simple,
some gallops, but mostly quarter notes. Once it drops to 150, it's pretty
much a constant stream, with a freeze and one step on the really slow part.
The next 150 part has more gallops and some sixteenths, the 320 part has
mostly quarters and a few more eighths than the first part, with doubles
marking the orchestra hits near the end, and the slowdown at the end is one
stream, which you have to adjust with as it slows down.
Challenge Notes: Basically a stripped down version of the Heavy steps.
Fewer steps on the 300 part. The first 150 part has breaks in the stream.
There's no step at 21. The second 150 part has no gallops or sixteenths, and
the 320 part has again fewer steps. The slowdown is quarter notes.

Lyrics:
(Baby, you know what?

Late at night when you're all alone (all alone)
Heart would say, pick up the phone (pick up the phone)
But he belongs to someone else
You wanna keep his number for yourself
You keep your feelings deep inside (deep inside)
The kind of love that's so hard to find (so hard to find)
Gotta keep it all for myself
Don't wanna share it with somebody else
Nobody knows what goes on when we are all alone
I know what I feel, it's oh so real
We are secret lovers
Hope no one discovers (no one discovers)
See you every day
Secret hideaway
Just around the way (Don't you know....)
Feels so good to me 'cause (...feels so good)
No one's ever seen us
What we have, taboo
A secret rendez-vous
(I'm in love, you feel good to me
Baby don'tcha know I need you
Don'tcha know I need your love so....)
Sneakin' with my baby (come to me baby)
Weekend, don't say maybe (please him day or night)
We throw away the key
It's our fantasy
Only you and me (I know you want me here)
I hope no one discovers
That we are undercover lovers
What we have, taboo

You see I think I feel your soul dear
Whispers you love me

Artist: THOMAS HOWARD
Genre: Xmas Ballad
BPM: 125
Difficulty:

several lengthy streams, most which involves turning. Also, there are plenty
of freeze arrows, and you'll have to do some fancy turning if you want to
hit all of them.

Lyrics:
(Silent...)
Ooooohhhhhh
Ooooohhhhhh
Lights on the avenue
All seem so far away
I'm up here drinking a toast to you
On such a special day
Tonight is the night for I love you's
Wish we could have this feeling
Throughout the year
Christmas is here
Christmas is here
Ooooohhhhhh
Tonight is the night for I love you's
And if you hold me near you
You'll feel my heart
Beating for two
Tonight is the night for I love you's
(Lights on the avenue, all seem so far away)
Up above the snow is falling
And stars disappear
My heart is calling
Christmas is here

Lyrics:
I wake at night and I start reaching for you
Every single time
I wish you lived a little closer
There's nothing else can make me feel the way you do
And phone calls don't provide
The warm I need when nights are colder
Missing you is more than I can stand
I need you here with me, so baby take my hand
Let's get close again I'm So In Love
You may be far away, but I need you here today now
To hold me. Boy, I'll never get enough
You're the only one for me. Come on over and you'll see
You and Me, we are So In Love

Once you hit the half-speed section, you'll have sixteenths to deal with,
which are, of course, the same speed, but tougher to read.

Lyrics:
Fill me with ecstasy!
Still...
Still in my heart
Still, still in my heart
Here in my heart
Oh~! Still in my heart
Deep in my heart
Why? Why did you have to go away
Always hard to stay
Tears keep on flowing over, over you
Tell me, was this really true romance
Or just a fantasy?
I can't believe what we've been through
You're hanging out with someone new
Still, you're in my heart
Baby, in my heart
Always in my heart
You'll never leave my heart
Still, still you're in my heart
Deep down in my heart
Fill me with ecstasy
Oh~! (Exactly, in my heart)
Oh, baby!
No, baby!
Can't let you go
Or was it just a fantasy
Of what I thought could be reality?
Oh baby, can't you just see
That I can't go on
Livin' without you?
Still, still you're in my heart
Never leave my heart
Now and forever more
Still, still you're in my heart
Always in my heart
When will I ever break free?

Lyrics:
DDR Bass! DDR Bass!
DDR Bass! DDR Bass!
Dance Dance!
I am here, and my name is Chaos
Rap is to me like music is to Amadeus
Wolfgang, the famous composer
When I stepped in I told him to move over
I am the new kid on the block
And the mission - to make your body rock
And to all the fools that think they're tough
You'll never beat me, cuz I'm just too rough
For my nature, my habitat, and even my environment
Don't try me now, just go into retirement
And think about what you have done
You got beat, cuz you tried to move on
Dance Dance!
You meet your fate when your lines ain't straight
They're in your lyrical debatin' when your styles ain't great
You got boogie-old rhymes to the point of no return
You switch, you discern, but when will you learn
That my rhymes burn, my brain waves melt
Who gives a damn how you fall, overturned black belts
I show you no remorse, I break off, I get divorced
Could I be the source of this regenerative force
Rejuvinated, I escalate it, you're underrated
Now you're underrated cuz your homeboys played it
Your weak appearances are only doing me the favor
While I'm kickin' butt and flavor showin' off on your behavior
DDR Bass! DDR Bass!
Brother be beefing like a source that's protecting all people
Put your hands up in the pulpit, coz it is drippin' like water
From a leaky faucet
Hand me the mic and I would rock it
To you, sometimes you got to stop it - To make it rhyme
It will earn full work and yo the final jam
Is the freakin' bad bone, man take much and stand it
And, yo, to beat us right now is the chance
So everybody, yo, get on the floor
I wanna see your dance

Play Notes: It's probably worth mentioning that ALL difficulties (except
Beginner) have eighth note steps on the record scratches.
Exp. Notes: I love doing this one on Heavy. It's not all that fast, so
you can pick it up pretty well. There are a few small streams with double
steps in the early parts, then the record scratches, then a really large 79
step stream in the middle which leads into the second scratch section. At
the end of that section are 18 sixteenth notes sandwiched together (but
they're just alternating up and left). In the last area are some more long
streams and three clusters of five sixteenth notes.

Play Notes: There's a tiny stop just after the verse and before the last
chorus. It lasts about a beat.
Exp. Notes: This is a pretty tough nine-footer. I base that around the fact
that there are plenty of odd steps: triplets, sixteenth gallops, plenty of
freezes with steps in them. The fact that it's pretty fast doesn't help
either.

Genre: Hardcore Techno
BPM: 83-333
Difficulty:

BEG: 3
BSC: 6 6
DIF: 9 9
EXP:10 10
Play Notes: The song tears at a pleasant 333 bpm for some time until about
halfway, where you hit a freeze. At that point, it actually speeds up to
666 bpm, but since you're not doing anything, it's pointless to note. After
the slow to a stop, you'll spend about a measure at 83 bpm (quarter speed)
before it takes off at the usual 333 bpm for the remainder of the song.
Exp. Notes: This is considered about the third most difficult ten-footer in
DDR history. Most of the difficulty in the beginning consists of small
streams bunched together with double steps. In the second half, you'll have
several medium-length streams, and one long stream at the end. May not seem
too complicated, but may I remind you of the blazing speed.

Exp. Notes: Like all TRIP MACHINEs, this song is all about following the
music with hard-to-predict steps. The newest is no exception, using lots of
gallops, crossovers, sixteenths, and just a few freezes to give you a decent
run for your money, although it definitely isn't the hardest 9-footer out

some turning to worry about. The hardest part is probably the end, which is
a long stream that requires a lot of turning and/or jumping around.

Exp. Notes: One thing that seems to be common with the TRIP MACHINES is that
they follow the rhythm of the song pretty well. Of course, the song has
some pretty weird rhythms. Still, expect nothing more complicated than short
to medium length streams that require you to turn, and a few double steps
put in the streams.

Hey... supposing if
We were to meet by chance
I'd like us to smile at each other
And be able to talk together
I knew it would have to end someday
But I was here, unable to accept it
Who was I smiling for?
What were you seeing?
What I remember is your kind look
But it doesn't appear anywhere
I can't find you or my heart anywhere
You left me behind with memories of you going away
I want to see you once more
I want us to understand each other
I want to feel your warmth
I want to meet you
I don't need anything else
Just that would be fine

but not too long. Just between the first and second part of the verse,
you'll start hitting gallops thrown into the streams, as well as some
doubles. Once the chorus picks up, you'll have a long series of gallops
that will require quite a bit of turning.

And you won't hold my hand next to me
We've broken up.

The tears, they overflow
We definitely will not meet again.
I pray that you'll rejoin me somehow.
Good tears come from doing great things
It's right to forget and let things pass by...

Will it be possible to forget you?
Can I truly not go? Will I truly be able to?

Play Notes: Just like the original, the end slows down to a crawl, but
there's no stop after the first few measures.

Play Notes: Just before the steps begin is a stop in the music. Once you
get to the end, the music will slow down gradually, so be sure to watch for
it.
Exp. Notes: In the beginning, you'll be stepping the strings, then a long
freeze, then a whole bunch of gallops. After the gallops, you'll think you're
hitting a gallop, then a double step, but YOU'RE NOT. What looks like a
double step is two THIRTY-SECOND notes, matching up to the music, so stay
sharp there. In the section with background synthesizers, you'll be facing
eighths with double steps in the streams, and one long stream that goes more
than four measures, and which will require you to turn several times. After
that, more gallops and eighth notes, then, finally, the slowdown, which
follows the music exactly. A good easy-to-moderate nine-footer.

string sections, and a rather long crossover stream in the piano section.
Challenge Notes: There are a lot of similarities between this and the Heavy
steps, but the main thing added to these steps is far more sixteenths,
particularly in the string sections. They also cut out freezes to put more
streams and gallops in. There are also plenty of sixteenths at the end.

Exp. Notes: The opener has steps on the piano hits, which are sixteenths,

the percussion. After that, it's pretty simple, until the end, where you
have some pretty quick streams that go to the end.

16. EXTRA STAGE SONGS (RED SONGS)
******************************************************************************
* COMING SOON *
******************************************************************************
17. NONSTOP MODE
******************************************************************************
The basic gist of Nonstop Mode is that you select a course of four songs.
Each song in the course has a specified difficulty. Unlike older games,
there is only one difficulty for Nonstop courses in this game.
The courses are played just like normal songs, only you'll immediately jump
to the next song after completing one. The only major difference is that as
you get further in the course, you'll get penalized more severely in your
Dance Gauge if you miss, and it'll take longer to fill back up.
You may notice a "MARVELLOUS!" popping up when you step. This is a ranking
for stepping super-exactly on the arrow. For this mode, you don't get any
more points for stepping on a MARVELLOUS, than you do for a PERFECT.
Scoring is handled just like Game Mode.
(Note: The #'s listed are for Single Play. Double Play has all the same
difficulties, but not necessarily the same # of feet.)

18. CHALLENGE MODE (ONI MODE)
******************************************************************************
So, from the get-go, it looks like Nonstop Mode. Just like in that mode,
you'll select a course of songs. Only one difficulty is available, though,
and the course isn't limited to four songs.
The real difficulty is apparent when you get going. Instead of a normal
Dance Meter, you have a little meter with four ticks inside it. Every time
you get anything less than a GREAT, you'll lose a tick. Lose them all and the
game's over.
So, that's four missteps allowed, but there's a tiny bit of relief. For
every song you complete, you'll get back all your ticks.
Scoring is handled a bit differently in this mode:
MARVELLOUS: 3 points
PERFECT: 2 points
GREAT: 1 point
OK (Freeze Arrow): 3 points
Everything Else: 0 points
And once you die or finish the course, that's how your score is tallied.

Zdankiewicz. You may not take it in whole or in part and claim it as your
own. You may not alter it in any way, even if you ask me first, and that
includes putting it in HTML format. Please dont post this on your site
unless you have express consent by me. Ive put a lot of time into this.
Give me some credit.

www.ign.com
www.cheatcc.com

I'm not going to allow people with small personal sites to post this FAQ.
They may post the link on GameFAQs with all the SuperNOVA guides, but, trying
to keep updates, well, updated, I'll only allow large committed sites that I
trust.
========================
20B. E-mail Guidelines =
========================
If you wish to e-mail me, be sure to follow these guidelines:
- Make ABSOLUTELY sure I haven't already answered your question in the guide.
- Make sure it has something to do with DDR Extreme 2. I don't want spam,
chain letters, offers for friendship. Don't bother me with info on other DDR
games, really. I keep my ear pretty close to the ground about such things,
and I'll probably know about it before you. Compliment me on the FAQ all you
want, though.
- Make sure you say "DDR SuperNOVA Arcade" at one point in your e-mail. I
have more than one DDR FAQ, and I can't always figure the question out without
specifying what game you're asking about.
- Asking how to beat a song will result in a deletion. There really are no
tips to offer for DDR'ing besides what I have in my section. It has to come
from your own skill and desire to pass.
- Spell correctly and use proper grammar, please. If I can't understand
your e-mail, it'll go to the junk pile.

14C. Credits =
==============
CJayC and Al Amaloo for having this on their sites.
Wikipedia, and all those involved, for info on several of the artists.
www.animelyrics.com, for compiling, catalouging, and translating tons of
lyrics, including those in the DDR games. Also, Chudah's Corner, for their
indepensible help in the more obscure lyrics. Also, the BEMANI Lyric
Database, for their extensive work.
Arctic Wolves, for all his support and help with me and my DDR guides.
Konami and the BEMANI studio, for their effort in bringing a superb game to
the States.
======================
14D. Version Updates =
======================
Version 0.8 - (08/06/06) - Well, now. I'm missing several parts to this,
mostly in the Green Song section, but there are some spaces in Yellow,
Purple, and Blue land.
Version 0.9 - (08/25/06) - Most spaces are now filled, except for lyrics.
I still need to get the Extra Stage stuff up, too.
=====================
14E. The Final Word =
=====================
This is certainly a massive explosion of DDR. Hope the unlocks keep comin',
because I'm imagining some good stuff.
Take care and happy dancing!
