The scoring system for the 3rdMIX was changed from the one used in DanceDanceRevolution to DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX. One of the main changes are that the score is not determined by large combos anymore and that the maximum possible score for one song is 10 000 000. This scoring system was used to all the related 3rdMIX releases only. This include 3rdMIX PLUS and the two Korean versions and even [[AC_DDR_USA|DanceDanceRevolution USA]] as it was based on the 3rdMIX.

;Dancer Score
The following songs are remixes of songs from the beatmania and beatmania IIDX series.
In order to calculate the Dancer Score, the Base Step Score is required:
:Base Step Score = int(1000000 ÷ (N × (N + 1) ÷ 2))
:N is the number of steps (notecounts) in the song.
The Dancer Score includes 4 formulas, the first 3 are related to the timing:
*Dancer Perfects: Base Step Score × 10 × Number of Perfects
*Dancer Greats: Base Step Score × 5 × Number of Greats
*Dancer Goods or worst: Base Step Score × 0 × Number of Goods/Worst


* [[gentle stress (AMD SEXUAL MIX)]] / [[Naoki Maeda|MR.DOG]] feat. [[Keiichi Ueno|DJ SWAN]]
If the life bar becomes depleted, but the song continue to play (due to Versus mode or Autofail set to off), the Base Step Score is replaced by 1.
* [[GRADIUSIC CYBER (AMD G5 MIX)]] / [[Naoki Maeda|BIG-O]] feat. [[Takayuki Ishikawa|TAKA]]

= Unlock Information =
The final formula for the dancer score is a bonus for the final step of the song:
To play one of beatmania remixes, you must choose a dance character(s) on the character selection screen, and a particular song will be shown on the song selection screen:
:Final Step Bonus = 10 × [1000000 - int[1000000 ÷ (N × (N+1) ÷ 2)] × (N × (N+1) ÷ 2)]
* BOLDO/TRACY or AFRO/LADY - gentle stress (AMD SEXUAL MIX)
This formula will gives its full bonus value if the step was a Perfect, half of it for a Great and 0 for a Good or worst.
* KONSENTO:03/BLACK ZUKIN or KONSENTO:01/OSHARE ZUKIN - Jam Jam Reggae (AMD SWING MIX)
;Grade
* ASTRO/CHARMY or DISK:A/DISK:B - GRADIUSIC CYBER (AMD G5 MIX)
The Grade is calculated with a different formula using Dance Points. Each step in the song has a value of two Dance Points assigned to it. When adding them all up, the result is the maximum number of possible "Dance Points" for the song. This equal to 2 × N. N still being the number of steps in the song.
* RAGE/EMI or DREAD-SNAKE/JANET - LUV TO ME (AMD MIX)


To access any of two different game modes, use 1P or 2P left and right selection buttons on the title screen. Input the following codes as shown below:
The grade is then found by adding all the Dance Points calculated as follows:
* 2ndMIX mode: L, L, R, R
*A Perfect is worth +2 Dance Points
* Step Step Revolution: L, L, L, R, R, R, L, R
*A Great is worth +1 Dance Points
*A Good is worth 0 Dance Points
* A Boo will subtract (-) 4 Dance Points
*A Miss will subtract (-) 5 points


= Removed Song =
The grade letter is then matched with the closest corresponding value:
*SSS: All Perfect
*SS: At least 80% Perfect and the rest Great
*S: Less than 80% Perfect and the rest Great
*A: At least 80% of maximum Dance Points
*B: At least 64% of maximum Dance Points
*C: At least 50% of maximum Dance Points
*D: Less than 50% of maximum Dance Points
*E: Failed


* [[PARANOiA MAX ~DIRTY MIX~|PARANOiA MAX ~DIRTY MIX~ (in roulette)]] / [[Naoki Maeda|190]]
A grade of SSS through S override any other grade. For a score with less than 80% of the maximum Dance Points, but with a Full Combo, the S grade overrides the B. Likewise, for a score with no Full Combo, the highest grade possible is an A.

Release Information

  • Release Date: October 30th, 1999.
  • Soundtrack release dates: December 8th, 1999

General Information / Changes

  • A new introduction video was made for the opening credits.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game to have the BEMANI logo displayed during the opening credits.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game to have the announcer saying the game title on the title screen.
  • The interface received new graphics and some of the text placement is different. One of the most notable change is that the currently selected CD artwork is now shown from the front.
    • The LIFE GAUGE now features 17 bars in a pill shape instead of 42.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game to include a character select screen. Prior to this MIX, the character were set by default with 2 alternative duos using input codes.
  • A total of 8 new characters were addded to the game. In-game, characters are grouped in pair, one being for the player 1 and the other for the player 2. Alternative characters consisting of every characters from the past two arcade version are also included except for KONSENTO:02 and OSHARE-ZUKIN:02, they are not included as their version 1 is included instead.
  • First and only DanceDanceRevolution game to feature SOFT mode. This mode removes most of tougher steps on beginning of the song until its middle or final part using LITTLE (CUT on ON1). This mode allows only 1 song to be played.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game to introduce NONSTOP mode, which features courses containing four selected songs each. It has been used in every DanceDanceRevolution game until its removal in DanceDanceRevolution (2013).
  • Introduces UNISON mode, in which both players share one playfield and must hit arrows corresponding to their color--red for 1P, blue for 2P, and yellow for both players. If one player does not hit one of their exclusive arrows, the other player can "save" them by hitting it.
  • DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX has three different game modes:
    • DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX itself. The available play modes are SOFT, MEDIUM and NONSTOP. Only BASIC and ANOTHER difficulties are available. MEDIUM includes only the new songs from 3rdMIX.
    • DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX, which uses songs from DanceDanceDanceRevolution and DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX with 3rdMIX's interface, including the character selection. All difficulties are available using either the EASY (3 songs) or HARD (4 songs) mode.
    • Step Step Revolution, which is identical to 3rdMIX mode but only features SSR difficulty. Additionally, the FLAT noteskin is enabled by default; VIVID must be enabled with a code. The play mode for this game is named TOUGH.
  • First mainline DanceDanceRevolution game to introduce charts with a difficulty level of 9 (on the classic 1-10 scale). The level 9 rating first appeared in DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX CLUB VERSiON 2. Prior to that, an 8 was the highest level found in the game.
  • MANIAC was renamed only in this particular MIX to SSR (Step Step Revolution) when playing SSR Mode, except in 2ndMIX mode.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game to have Double MANIAC charts.
    • Only new songs have Double MANIAC charts. 4thMIX was the first game to add Double MANIAC charts for pre-3rdMIX songs.
  • The 2ndMIX STEP BATTLE charts were removed, but the three STEP BATTLE songs are back with normal charts.
  • No songs from the CLUB VERSiON 1 and CLUB VERSiON 2 were carried over to 3rdMIX, instead 4 remixes by AMD were added.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game with song removal.
  • DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX has four different versions. All of them can be easily differentiated by the default song:
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game with the VIVID noteskin, in which arrows have different color cycle timings depending on how on-beat the arrows are. It is enabled by default, except in SSR mode, where it requires a code to be activated.
  • First and only DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to feature karaoke lyrics on-screen.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution to change the scoring formula. From this version on, all version will change the scoring formula until DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2.
  • Total Songs: 72

  • gentle stress (AMD SEXUAL MIX): Play using BOLDO & TRACY or AFRO & LADY.
  • Jam Jam Reggae (AMD SWING MIX): KONSENTO:03 & DEVIL-ZUKIN or KONSENTO:01 & OSHARE-ZUKIN
  • GRADIUSIC CYBER (AMD G5 MIX): ASTRO & CHARMY or DISK:A & DISK:B.
  • LUV TO ME (AMD MIX): RAGE & EMI or DREAD-SNAKE & JANET

Score

This section was adapted from Aaron in Japan.

The scoring system for the 3rdMIX was changed from the one used in DanceDanceRevolution to DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX. One of the main changes are that the score is not determined by large combos anymore and that the maximum possible score for one song is 10 000 000. This scoring system was used to all the related 3rdMIX releases only. This include 3rdMIX PLUS and the two Korean versions and even DanceDanceRevolution USA as it was based on the 3rdMIX.

Dancer Score

In order to calculate the Dancer Score, the Base Step Score is required:

Base Step Score = int(1000000 ÷ (N × (N + 1) ÷ 2))
N is the number of steps (notecounts) in the song.

The Dancer Score includes 4 formulas, the first 3 are related to the timing:

  • Dancer Perfects: Base Step Score × 10 × Number of Perfects
  • Dancer Greats: Base Step Score × 5 × Number of Greats
  • Dancer Goods or worst: Base Step Score × 0 × Number of Goods/Worst

If the life bar becomes depleted, but the song continue to play (due to Versus mode or Autofail set to off), the Base Step Score is replaced by 1.

The final formula for the dancer score is a bonus for the final step of the song:

Final Step Bonus = 10 × [1000000 - int[1000000 ÷ (N × (N+1) ÷ 2)] × (N × (N+1) ÷ 2)]

This formula will gives its full bonus value if the step was a Perfect, half of it for a Great and 0 for a Good or worst.

Grade

The Grade is calculated with a different formula using Dance Points. Each step in the song has a value of two Dance Points assigned to it. When adding them all up, the result is the maximum number of possible "Dance Points" for the song. This equal to 2 × N. N still being the number of steps in the song.

The grade is then found by adding all the Dance Points calculated as follows:

  • A Perfect is worth +2 Dance Points
  • A Great is worth +1 Dance Points
  • A Good is worth 0 Dance Points
  • A Boo will subtract (-) 4 Dance Points
  • A Miss will subtract (-) 5 points

The grade letter is then matched with the closest corresponding value:

  • SSS: All Perfect
  • SS: At least 80% Perfect and the rest Great
  • S: Less than 80% Perfect and the rest Great
  • A: At least 80% of maximum Dance Points
  • B: At least 64% of maximum Dance Points
  • C: At least 50% of maximum Dance Points
  • D: Less than 50% of maximum Dance Points
  • E: Failed

A grade of SSS through S override any other grade. For a score with less than 80% of the maximum Dance Points, but with a Full Combo, the S grade overrides the B. Likewise, for a score with no Full Combo, the highest grade possible is an A.
