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.
- 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.
- 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

EXTRA STAGE
To obtain the EXTRA STAGE in EXPERT mode, you must clear PARANOIA EVOLUTION, HYSTERIA or SUPER STAR on FINAL STAGE with a minimum combo of 150 and a full life gauge, while also holding the left button when the "CLEARED" message displays. Any difficulty and modifiers are allowed. Afterwards you will unlock the EXTRA STAGE, which will force MANIAC ULTIMATE difficulty and a ROULETTE-like random song selection. You can still use any modifiers in the EXTRA STAGE.
