For players like Chike, Lloyd and Felker, the dreadful gut feeling was inescapable. Players still had to hope they might live near one of the initial 50 machines, considering upgrade kits were still only available in Japan, but the game brought enough to the table to turn player opinion.
This is actually happening. This was the start of a new era. Suddenly, North American players could upload their scores to a central leaderboard and establish rivalries with foreign players. To top it all off, Konami later announced that at least two North American players would be selected to compete at the Konami Arcade Championship, throwing players like Chike, Lloyd and Felker into overdrive.
But no, we actually got to participate and qualify and be a part of this world experience. American competitors began the tough process of re-climbing the charts and establishing their records for the KAC qualifier.
For Chike, it simply meant picking up where he had never really left off in the first place. A substantial order quota must be met before Konami can justify firing up the factory lines to produce a machine, leaving small or medium-sized arcades stranded without the aid of a distributor like Betson.
Unsurprisingly, a majority of the machines so far have ended up along the west and northeast coasts, leaving the midwest empty, save for the areas surrounding Chicago and Dallas. In some respect, it will be up to the players themselves to continue the push for ongoing support.
These new charts were used as the default Maniac stepchart in DDR 5th Mix while the older ones were removed.
Beginning in DDRMAX, a "Groove Radar" was introduced, showing how difficult a particular sequence is in various categories, such as the maximum density of steps, and so on. The step difficulty was removed in favor of the Groove Radar. The game also adds an infamous "flashing 10" foot for songs that are considered to hard to be rated normally and only exists in several songs. However, all songs from the previous games remain identical, with very few changes to certain song difficulties.
All songs from previous versions were re-rated on the new scale. However, none of the songs are officially rated more than 18 even though the game lets player to rate custom edit data up to maximum. On Dance Dance Revolution X2 , the difficulty bars have been removed in favor of simple difficulty numbers with the foot mark returning as the difficulty symbol, replacing the bars. The game also extends the foot rating available for play to The foot-rating system was completely removed for 6th Mix, and replaced by the Groove Radar.
The Groove Radar is a graphical representation of the difficulty of a song based in five different areas: Stream, Voltage, Air, Chaos, and Freeze. The foot-rating system would be restored to work with the Groove Radar in the North American home version of the game and in the next arcade version, DDRMAX2 , and almost all future versions except for versions based on the North American version of Extreme, which only use foot ratings.
SuperNOVA 2 featured special edits of songs specifically meant to max out specific categories on the radar, culminating with Dead End Groove Radar Special , maxing out all 5 categories.
While not related, SuperNOVA 2 also featured a variation known as "My Groove Radar" as part of e-Amusement, which is also divided into five categories, though it is meant to measure the player's stats on songs rather than showing the song's difficulty. The Extra Stage, originally introduced in 1st Mix and reintroduced in DDRMAX and appears in subsequent arcade versions , rewards a player for receiving a grade of "AA" or higher on either Expert or Challenge difficulties on the final stage.
The player receives the opportunity to play a free extra song, which often defaults to a very difficult song with forced modifiers such as 1. Beginning on SuperNova 2, players may be able to access the modifier menu and the forced modifiers save for the battery bar are no longer used. SuperNova 2 and X allowed players to play any song for Encore Extra Stage, but X2 went back to the original predetermined songs, though the players are still able to change the modifiers.
Usually if this final boss is beaten, a special credits sequence is played. With the implementation of e-Amusement in DDR, mixes after SuperNova have contained multiple songs as extra stages, often based on specific conditions, such as playing specific difficulties or songs. A standard Dance Dance Revolution arcade machine consists of two parts, the cabinet and the dance platform. The cabinet has a wide bottom section, which houses large floor speakers and glowing neon lamps.
Above this sits a narrower section that contains the monitor , and on top is a lighted marquee graphic, with two small speakers and flashing lights on either side. Below the monitor are two sets of buttons one for each player , each consisting of two triangular selection buttons and a center rectangular button, used mainly to confirm a selection or start the game. The dance stage is a raised metal platform divided into two sides.
Each side houses a set of four acrylic glass pads [ 7 ] arranged and pointing in the orthogonal directions left, up, down and right , separated by metal squares. Each pad sits atop four pressure activated switches, one at each edge of each pad, and a software-controlled cold cathode lamp illuminating the translucent pad. A metal safety bar in the shape of an upside-down "U" is mounted to the dance stage behind each player.
Some players make use of this safety bar to help maintain proper balance, and to relieve weight from the legs so that arrows can be pressed with greater speed and accuracy. Some DDR cabinets are equipped with Sony PlayStation memory card slots, allowing the player to insert a compatible memory card before starting a game and save their high scores to the card.
This feature is supported in 2ndMix through Extreme. SuperNova didn't support memory card slots. However, it introduced Konami's internet based link system e-Amusement to the series, which can save stats and unlocks for individual players but cannot store edits.
This functionality however, could only be used in Japan. It, and one other machine located in the Konami offices of El Segundo, California, are currently the only e-amuse capable machines in the United States. The Solo arcade cabinet is smaller and contains only one dance pad, modified to include six arrow panels instead of four the additional panels are "upper-left" and "upper-right".
These pads generally don't come with a safety bar, but include the option for one to be installed at a later date. The Solo pad also lacks some of the metal plating that the standard pad has, which can make stepping difficult for players who are used to playing on standard machines. An upgrade was available for Solo machines called the "Deluxe pad", which was closer to the standard cabinet's pad. Additionally Solo machines only incorporate two sensors, located horizontally in the center of the arrow, instead of four sensors one on each edge.
Both of these are based on PlayStation. This more powerful hardware allows for high definition graphics which would be used until today. Dance Dance Revolution has been released in many different countries on many different platforms. Originally released in Japan as an arcade game and then a Sony PlayStation game, which was a bestseller.
Due to demand, Japanese versions of the game, which are usually different from the games released in other countries, are often imported or bootlegged.
DDR fansites make an attempt to keep track of the locations of arcade machines throughout the major regions. Home versions often contain new songs, songs from the arcade version, and additional features that take advantage of the capabilities of the console e. The games come with a small thumb pad that fits over the Game Boy Color's controls to simulate the dance pad.
