General Information / Changes

  • First DanceDanceRevolution arcade game on KONAMI's BEMANI Python 2 hardware. The result is far crisper picture quality and superior sound quality.
    • However, the transition to the new hardware resulted in various timing issues, which were later recitified with an update disc.
  • LIGHT, STANDARD, and HEAVY difficulties have been renamed BASIC, DIFFICULT, and EXPERT respectively.
  • Jumps count as a single step for combo purposes once again, and has been the standard since in the arcade series.
  • Some modifiers have been renamed:
    • LITTLE, which removes steps that do not fall on a quarter beat, has been renamed to CUT.
    • SOLO, which replicates the arrow coloring scheme used in the DanceDanceRevolution Solo sub-series, has been renamed to RAINBOW.
  • The JUMP modifier has been added, and is turned on by default. Turning it off will convert jumps to single notes.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to receive a worldwide release.
    • However, only the Japanese version had e-AMUSEMENT support, while the European and North American versions didn't.
      • Consequently, e-AMUSEMENT-exclusive unlocks are unavailable outside of the Japanese version.
  • Backgrounds and generic background movies for songs have been removed. Instead, songs that don't have their own video instead have dancers dance in several different backdrops.
  • Playable characters return to the series for the first time since DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX.
  • All previous Dancemania licenses (except for the KONAMI original remixes) have been removed from DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME.
    • In addition, all good-cool songs have been removed from the songlist.
  • Songs don't have little labels next to them on the banners next to them anymore that indicate what game/album they come from.
  • On January 25th, 2007, the EXTRA STAGE and ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE songs were added to the default song list for normal play.
  • Total songs: 304 (including the timed license Beautiful Life)

EXTRA STAGE

Like the last three arcade DanceDanceRevolution titles, to access the EXTRA STAGE you must AA your last song on EXPERT or CHALLENGE difficulty. If you play on EASY or MEDIUM MODEs, you get Healing-D-Vision. Play on DIFFICULT or ALL MUSIC, and you get Fascination MAXX or Fascination ~eternal love mix~. Regardless of which song you play, you'll be forced to play with SPEED set to 1.5x, the SCROLL set to Reverse and the ARROW COLOR set to RAINBOW. Your dance gauge, as per usual in the EXTRA STAGE, will not go up as you play.

ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE

To access the ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE, you must pass either Healing-D-Vision or Fascination MAXX as your EXTRA STAGE. You will then start playing CHAOS with the LIFE GAUGE set to RISKY (one Good/Boo/Miss/N.G., and the song ends) with no modifiers possible.
