DanceDanceRevolution Solo BASS MIX

Release Information

  • Release Date: August 19th, 1999.

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 DDR game. Double mode is not playable.
    • Two games of the main DanceDanceRevolution series, 4thMIX and 4thMIX PLUS, also had alternate releases in Solo cabinets.
  • Almost all the Dancemania licenses are from the Dancemania BASS series, hence the game's name.
  • Contains two modes of play: regular 4-panel play, and 6-panels, which uses the traditional 4 panels plus two more panels on the upper left and right.
  • One of the only two DDR 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 non-license group games to go over 30 FPS (the main series wouldn't until 5thMIX).
    • 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 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 feature 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 DDR title to feature a female announcer.
  • Along with its sequel, Solo BASS is the only arcade DDR 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.

NONSTOP MEGAMIX!

Instead of courses, DanceDanceRevolution Solo BASS MIX features a megamix of songs combined into one, large song. Only two can be played a game. The Megamixes have never been in any CS DanceDanceRevolution release.

KUNG FU FIGHTING (MIAMI BOOTY MIX) is misspelled as KUNG FU FIGHTING (MIAMI BOOTSY MIX).
BRILLIANT2U and SP-TRIP MACHINE only appear in the megamix. They are not playable in-game.
