< WHAT IS DDR ? >
*****************
Dance Dance Revolution, (or DDR for short), is Konami's best selling series
in which the player controls the game with their feet. A dance mat can be
purchased for use with the PlayStation games, but it's more fun to play in
your local arcade. The concept is that you step on the arrows of the dance
mat when the corresponding arrows displayed on-screen reach a grid at the
top of the screen. Arrows scroll vertically up the screen and vary in speed
depending upon the chosen song. There are a number of different songs to
choose from, with each genre of music well represented. Half of the music
is composed by Konami's internal sound teams, with the other half taken
from Toshiba EMI's dance compilation series, Dancemania.
DDR is now up to the 5th main instalment in the series, and is still on top
form. Improvements to this version include a totally re-designed game
interface, a new cast of characters, smooth graphics running at 60 frames
per second as well as a totally new collection of songs.
PLEASE NOTE: The following songlist contains all of the songs confirmed for
the PlayStation version so far. There may be changes, and there'll probably
be more songs added for the final release. Also, songs marked with an *

on how to do this.

PLEASE NOTE: The information in this section is based upon past releases as
well as official information straight from Konami. The information will
change once further details are released. Also, modes marked with an * will
probably have to be unlocked.
GAME MODE: This the regular game mode. This time around, there is no link
mode meaning that you can select your edit data in the normal mode, without
having to change to a different mode in order to play the original steps.
The possible styles of play are: Single, Versus and Double Modes.
DIET MODE: Enter your weight as well as the date, and the amount of weight
you've lost will be calculated and recorded in your diet diary, which can
be viewed in records mode.
LESSON MODE: If you've never played before, this is where to go. There are
three lessons, each with 8 sections. Once you complete the first 7 sections
of a lesson, you must play a certain song. Completing a section is easy,
just get as many perfects and greats as is possible.
TRAINING MODE: This mode is useful if you're having trouble with a
particular song. It is possible to slow songs down, have the game make a
'clap' sound whenever there's a note, beat or full bar.
*CHALLENGE MODE: Are you the DDR king? Then prove it! In this mode you must
complete a set of 50 challenges ranging from simply getting a full combo on
an easy song to getting a perfect on the hardest edit data imaginable. Be
warned: This mode can get very frustrating!
*ENDLESS MODE: Summon all of your energy to play as many songs as you can
non-stop. You can play as any character featured in the game, male or
female, and there's an option to take a break every few songs.
EDIT MODE: Tired of playing the same steps over and over? Edit mode allows
you to create your own steps to any song in the game. You can then save
your edit data to memory card and play it in the regular game mode or on
the arcade version. To change edit mode into English language, simply
choose 'option' then highlight the 4th word down and press either left or
right on the directional pad.
OPTION MODE: This mode allows you to configure the game settings such as
game level, number of songs etc. It's all in English, so it's all pretty
self explanatory.
*GALLERY MODE: This mode contains a collection of extra background pictures
which can be displayed during gameplay. Each background must be unlocked
individually.
DATA BANK MODE: Can't be bothered with edit mode? Well don't worry, Konami
has kindly included an extra 260 sets of edit data for your playing
pleasure. Simply download the selected data to memory card and it will be
available for use in the regular game mode or even the arcade version of
DDR 5th MIX.
RECORDS MODE: Want to keep track of your high scores, or how much weight
you've lost through diet mode? Well then, this mode's for you.
ARCADE LINK: Are you a regular 5th MIX arcade player? If so, I highly
recommend making a memory card file to take with you. With the arcade link
data you can save your high scores from the arcade and view them at home,
as well as your internet ranking top scores.
NONSTOP ORDER: If your fed up of playing the same set of songs, nonstop
order can be very handy. Choose which songs you want to play (up to 5),
what levels they should be on and which variants will be used. Edit mode is
also supported.
INFORMATION: This mode does what is says, giving you information of which
songs you've unlocked as well as details on the various features of the
game (in Japanese).
PLEASE NOTE: These are the characters from the arcade version of DDR 5th
MIX. They will all be included, but there may be other characters included
as well.

MIX, will it be in 5th MIX?

DDR 5th MIX?
A: There will definitely be a remix of 'Dive' by Be For U, as well as a few
trial songs from DDR MAX.

I'd just like to thank Konami for making the best videogame series on the
planet, daring to be different in the first place, and choosing an
excellent selection of songs.
