Release Information

  • Release Date: October 19th, 2001.

General Information / Changes

  • None of the songs from 5thMIX or before were retained.
    • That said, there is an early mockup screenshot of the select music screen which still features songs from 5thMIX.
  • Introduces a new announcer. This announcer would continue to appear in arcade DanceDanceRevolution games, up to DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2.
  • The dancing characters were removed. They're replaced with background animations, this time stored as videos instead of sprites.
  • Freeze Arrows are introduced. Unlike the regular arrows, you must hold the Freeze Arrow during its duration. Failure to do so will not dock Dance Points or break combo, but will result in a significant loss of the Dance Meter.
  • BASIC, TRICK and MANIAC difficulties are renamed as LIGHT, STANDARD and HEAVY, respectively.
  • Hitting a jump adds 2 to your combo but counts as only one step for all other purposes. This behavior is similar to DanceDanceRevolution Solo BASS MIX and DanceDanceRevolution Solo 2000, but the entire jump is judged as one note rather than both notes being judged separately. Jumps would go back to incrementing combo by only one in DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA.
  • Second DanceDanceRevolution game with the EXTRA STAGE boss song mechanic. The first game had an EXTRA STAGE system, but was not limited to boss songs.
  • Difficulty ratings were removed. They would return in the next game, however.
    • Consequently, FOLLOW ME and FLASH IN THE NIGHT have never received difficulty ratings, as they have not appeared on any other DanceDanceRevolution games.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game to feature the GROOVE RADAR.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game to have an options/modifiers menu before each song, rather than using codes. (Dancing Stage featuring TRUE KiSS DESTiNATiON and Dancing Stage featuring DREAMS COME TRUE also have modifier menus in place of codes, but only at the beginning of the player's credit.)
  • DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution 6thMIX- introduces two new modifiers:
    • REVERSE, in which the scroll direction of the arrows is reversed, descending towards the target arrows at the bottom of the screen.
    • SOLO, which replicates the arrow color scheme used in the Solo sub-series of games. It would later be renamed to RAINBOW in DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA.

EXTRA STAGE

To unlock this song, you must clear a HEAVY chart with a rating of AA or higher on your last stage. 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.

ONE MORE 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 ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE. Like with the EXTRA STAGE, you cannot change the song or chart.

The ONE MORE 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.
