DanceDanceRevolution Solo BASS MIX

Release Information

  • Release Date: August 19th, 1999.
  • Slogan: 6-STEPSが、スタイリッシュなプレイを要求する。 (6-STEPS ga, STYLISH-na PLAY wo youkyuu suru.)

General Information / Changes

  • First of two games in the DanceDanceRevolution Solo spin-off series, the other being DanceDanceRevolution Solo 2000.
    • As the name applies, Solo is a 1-player DanceDanceRevolution game. Double mode is not playable, although Multi Play (linked cab play) is possible between up to four arcade cabinets.
      • Players in Multi Play can compete in teams as well.
    • Dance Dance Revolution 4thMIX and 4thMIX PLUS would later have alternate releases in Solo cabinets.
  • First arcade DanceDanceRevolution game to have notes colored by quarter steps.
  • All of the Dancemania licenses are from the Dancemania BASS series, hence the game's name.
  • Contains only one mode of play: 6-panels, which uses the traditional 4 panels plus two more panels on the upper left and right.
  • One of the only two DanceDanceRevolution games, along with Solo 2000, to feature NONSTOP MEGAMIX! mode (more detail below).
  • Solo BASS MIX and its sequel introduce many firsts in the DDR arcade series:
    • They're the first games to feature live-action footage during the song videos (this wouldn't happen in the main series until DDRMAX).
    • They're the first non-license group games to feature no dancers in the background (again, in the main series this wouldn't occur until DDRMAX).
    • They're the first games to display the name of the song in-game (this wouldn't occur in the main series until SuperNOVA2). Unfortunately, the title display obscures part of the playfield.
  • Along with its sequel, Solo BASS is the only arcade DanceDanceRevolution title to feature a female announcer.
  • Along with its sequel, Solo BASS is the only arcade DanceDanceRevolution title to judge individual steps in a jump separately. Unlike in MAX, MAX2, and EXTREME, each jump gives two separate judgments rather than just adding two to the combo if hit correctly.
  • All of Solo BASS's KONAMI originals (except for PARANOIA EVOLUTION) were recorded in Miami, Florida.
  • Total songs: 22
