DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX

Release Information

Release Date: October 30th, 1999.

General Information / Changes

First DanceDanceRevolution game with the VIVID noteskin, in which arrows have different color cycle timings depending on how on-beat the arrows are. It is enabled by default, except in SSR mode, where it requires a code to be activated.
MANIAC was renamed to SSR (Step Step Revolution) when playing SSR Mode, except in 2ndMIX mode.
DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX has three different play modes:
- DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX itself. Only BASIC and ANOTHER difficulties are available.
- DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX, which uses songs from DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX with 3rdMIX's interface. All difficulties are available.
- Step Step Revolution, which is identical to 3rdMIX mode but only features SSR difficulty. Additionally, the FLAT noteskin is enabled by default; VIVID must be enabled with a code.
First and only DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to feature karaoke lyrics on-screen.
First mainline DanceDanceRevolution game to introduce charts with a difficulty level of 9 (on the classic 1-10 scale). The level 9 rating first appeared in DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX CLUB VERSiON 2.
First DanceDanceRevolution game to have Double MANIAC charts.
- Only new songs have Double MANIAC charts. 4thMIX was the first game to add Double MANIAC charts for pre-3rdMIX songs.
The 2ndMIX STEP BATTLE charts were removed, but the three STEP BATTLE songs are back with normal charts.
DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX has four different versions. All of them can be easily differentiated by the default song:
- The Japanese version. The default song is XANADU.
- DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX Ver.KOREA, which removes some licenses from the Japanese version but adds a few Korean songs. The default song is BA KKWO.
- DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX Ver.KOREA2, which adds some more Korean songs. The default song is SHOCK.
- A version of DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX intended for the rest of the Asian market, lacking both the songs that were cut from the Korean versions as well as any Korean songs. The default song is UPSIDE DOWN.
First DanceDanceRevolution game to introduce NONSTOP mode, which features courses containing four selected songs each. It has been used in every DanceDanceRevolution game until its removal in 2013 game
First and only DanceDanceRevolution game to feature SOFT mode. This mode removes most of tougher steps on beginning of the song until its middle or final part.
First DanceDanceRevolution game with song removal/s.
- PARANOiA MAX ~DIRTY MIX~ (in roulette) is removed probably to avoid duplicated songs/step charts.
Introduces UNISON mode, in which both players share one playfield and must hit arrows corresponding to their color--red for 1P, blue for 2P, and yellow for both players. If one player does not hit one of their exclusive arrows, the other player can "save" them by hitting it.
Total Songs: 72
