Release Information

• Release dates:
  • DanceDanceRevolution: September 1998.

General Information / Changes

• DanceDanceRevolution is also known as "version 1.0" and the Internet Ranking Version as "version 1.5".
• The music selection screen is a jukebox-like menu with CDs cover representing each a song.
• Three play style options are available: Single, Double and Couple. Double requires a code to activate.
• Three play modes are available: Easy (1 song only but with no game over), Normal and Hard.
• Only two dance levels can be selected: BASIC, ANOTHER (DIFFICULT). MANIAC (EXPERT) was added with the Internet Ranking Version.
• The difficulty is rated in a foot rating scale of 1 to 8.
• First game in the series to have an EXTRA STAGE system. This system would not return until DDRMAX's release.
• Only one modifier was available: the TURN option MIRROR which required a step code to be entered on the dance stage.
• The default and only arrow color was FLAT.
• The possible step timing are Perfect!!, Great!, Good, Boo or Miss....
• The possible rank result for a song are SS (all steps Perfect), S, A, B, C, D, E (failed).
• Introduced AFRO, LADY, KONSENTO:01 (コンセント1号) and OSHARE-ZUKIN (おしゃれずきん) as characters.
• The Internet Ranking Version update is the most common version, and includes two new songs and some UI updates.
  • Versus play was added and it requires a code to activate.
  • Single MANIAC (EXPERT) and Double ANOTHER (DIFFICULT) charts were added.
  • The foot level names were changed, they stayed the same (with the addition of Catastrophic) through 3rdMIX PLUS.
  • Successfully hit arrows disappear and display a flash on the receptors. The original release made no visual distinction between hit and missed arrows.
  • As the name suggests, Internet Ranking codes are displayed after the game. These allowed players to compete for high scores online.
  • The original release used the 1986-1998 KONAMI logo in-game (one of only five Japanese BEMANI games to use it, the other four being the first two beatmania arcade games, the original PlayStation beatmania home port, and pop'n music). Internet Ranking Version uses the 1998-2003 KONAMI logo.
• Total songs: 9 songs (11 songs for Internet Ranking Version)
