DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution-

Release Information

• Release Date: October 28th, 2002

General Information / Changes

• First North American DanceDanceRevolution title released on the PlayStation 2.
• First North American DanceDanceRevolution title with exclusive licenses, CS originals (new remixes by Sota Fujimori), and BEMANI crossovers.
• Unlike the original arcade version and its Japanese home release, the North American CS DDRMAX release has foot ratings for songs.
  • It also has the ONI Mode introduced in DDRMAX2, making its first appearance in a CS DanceDanceRevolution title in any region. The original DDRMAX did not feature any courses or modes.
• Songs no longer have music labels on their banners, unlike in the arcade version.
• First North American DanceDanceRevolution title with INFORMATION MODE, which tells you information about songs, courses, and certain challenges in the game that have been completed.
• Only PlayStation 2 North American DanceDanceRevolution title with no playable dancers in the backgrounds.
• Only PlayStation 2 North American DanceDanceRevolution title with a high scores display in the game's attract mode.
• Only PlayStation 2 North American DanceDanceRevolution title to not mention DanceDanceRevolution CS (America) in Information Mode in regards to songs that debuted in that game (AM-3P and BRILLIANT 2U(Orchestra-Groove))
• Only PlayStation 2 North American DanceDanceRevolution title to use KONAMI's 1998-2003 logo.
• gentle stress (AMD SEXUAL MIX) was renamed to gentle stress SENSUAL MIX due to censorship.
• MATSURI JAPAN's banner is the only banner containing Japanese text without romanization of any kind.
• CUTIE CHASER MORNING MIX does not have individual charts on DOUBLE. All three DOUBLE charts are the same.
  • The DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX CLUB VERSiON 1 and CLUB VERSiON 2 songs have the same charts on DOUBLE STANDARD and HEAVY as well.
• Videos for older DanceDanceRevolution songs that were in DDRMAX2 have their videos based on that game.
  • The background videos for songs that did not exist on DDRMAX or DDRMAX2 are direct rips of other songs in DDRMAX2. This includes positions where the videos change from one another, with some alterations depending on the song.
  • Two of these animations were accidentally switched-off in the game. These includes the yellow and pink swirling hearts and the rainbow swirling star.
    • This glitch eventually appeared on the Japanese and American DDRMAX2 as well as Dancing Stage MegaMiX & Fever, until it was fixed in DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME CS.
• Some songs have incorrect Groove Radars (i.e. BABY BABY GIMME YOUR LOVE on both STANDARD and HEAVY difficulties).
• At the time of its release, DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution- had the most songs of any CS DanceDanceRevolution game in any region with 71 songs.
  • This short-lived record would be broken six months later by DDRMAX2 -DanceDanceRevolution 7thMIX-'s Japanese CS release's 74.
• The grading system is identical to that of its arcade and Japanese CS counterparts, with one exception: achieving a FULL COMBO will yield a AA rank, regardless of Dance Points.
• Total songs: 71

Song List

Songs are listed as shown in-game when Single Difficulty is selected.

(Double Difficulty has a slightly different order since some of the songs have a higher/lower total footprint count compared to Single Difficulty. For example, Share My Love is displayed earlier in the songwheel on Doubles because its total footprint count is lower than it is on Singles)

EXTRA STAGE

To unlock this song, you must clear a HEAVY chart with a rating of AA or higher on your FINAL STAGE. Notably, unlike in the arcade version or the Japanese CS version, a AA in this game can be achieved either through Dance Points or simply a FULL COMBO regardless of Dance Points. MAX 300's HEAVY chart (Single or Double depending on current play mode) will then become available as your EXTRA STAGE, with no way to change difficulty or song.

The EXTRA STAGE is on a Pressure life meter; it starts out at maximum health, but will not be replenished. In addition, the x1.5 and Reverse modifiers are in effect, and the score counter is replaced by a timer displaying elapsed time.

ENCORE EXTRA STAGE

To unlock this song, you must AA one of MAX 300's HEAVY charts on EXTRA STAGE. CANDY☆'s HEAVY charts (Single or Double depending on current play mode) will then appear as your ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. Like with the EXTRA STAGE, you cannot change the song or chart.

The ENCORE EXTRA STAGE is on a "Sudden Death" life system: If you break your combo or get an N.G. on a Freeze Arrow, you instantly fail the stage. As with the EXTRA STAGE, the x1.5 and Reverse modifiers are in effect and a timer indicating elapsed time replaces the score counter.
