  • Soundtrack release dates:
    • DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX ~X3 SIDE~ O.S.T: 6/27/2012
    • DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK presented by ダンスマニア: 11/30/2011

General Information / Changes

  • First BEMANI game to feature a modernized version of an older game as a game mode. 2ndMIX MODE is a high-definition remake of DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX with all the songs except STRICTLY BUSINESS and the STEP BATTLE songs featured.
    • However, this is not the first time 2ndMIX has been remade; a previous remake exists in DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX, though using the 3rdMIX interface.
  • Characters in 2ndMIX MODE no longer have their original dance routines. They use the routines introduced in the previous game, instead.
  • Interface theme is taken from DanceDanceRevolution II for the Nintendo Wii console.
  • DRILL COURSE from X2 is removed.
  • Target Score system added. Player can choose a different rival / own score to track between songs.
  • BEMANI TITLE sort option added. This sorts songs according to which of the other 5 major BEMANI series they also appear in.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game to use Star system to determine if player gets EXTRA STAGE.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game to feature the RISKY option outside of the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. Similar to the Sudden Death option while playing the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE and the GuitarFreaks & DrumMania series' HAZARD mode, breaking your combo will result in failing the song instantly.
  • An update introduced QUICK PLAY mode, in which the player may pay to play on a per-song basis using PASELI credits, rather than pay for a set of songs.
  • Last game in the X series of games. However, its interface and unlock systems would later be re-used in the subsequent game.
  • Total songs: 507

APPEND TRAVEL

APPEND TRAVEL was an event involving seven BEMANI series to promote the release of jubeat copious APPEND. Each BEMANI game received at least a brand new song, and could buy songs and special items using APPEND ENERGY.

The event started on March 14, 2012 and ended on September 25, 2012. However, it was still possible to unlock the APPEND TRAVEL songs but not buy the event items after that.

Items

 
ALICE wearing the jubeat仮面 in X3.

APPEND TRAVEL allowed players using e-AMUSEMENT to earn APPEND ENERGY (AE) by playing the 7 participating BEMANI games. It was the only way to buy the collaboration songs for play in jubeat. It was also possible to buy special items such as customisation options and abilities for use in the other games during the duration of the event only. Once bought, a notification for the item will appear on the next login in the game.

The ENJOY LEVEL Boosters were enhanced (double effect) on August 2, 2012 to September 2, 2012 as part of the Summer Boost Campaign (サマーブーストキャンペーン).

Item Price Description

EXTRA STAGE / ENCORE EXTRA STAGE

EXTRA STAGE Requirement

In order to access the EXTRA STAGE, X3 introduced the "Result Star System", a feature available only when playing via e-AMUSEMENT in PRO Mode. To unlock the EXTRA STAGE, the player have to get 9 Result Stars during a game or multiple games, the Result Stars are carried over from play session to another using e-AMUSEMENT. Once the player unlock the EXTRA STAGE, the 9 Results Stars are used, thus removed. When using VERSUS PLAY, once one player have 9 stars, the EXTRA STAGE is unlocked and both players Stars will be used in the process. The colors of the Star have no importance, only the amount (9) is required to unlock the EXTRA STAGE.

Result Stars are given to the player(s) under specific conditions:

Star(s) Requirement
★★★ For obtaining the grade AAA.
★★ For obtaining the grade AA.
For obtaining the grade A.
For obtaining the grade B, C or D.
For a Full Combo (of any kind).
For clearing a song.
Bonus for the first play session of the day. Added on 2/02/2012.

The player can only obtain a maximum of 3 Result Stars for each song played. Thus, some type of Result Stars have priority over the other stars:
White / Yellow / Aqua Star > Green Star > Red Star > Dark Blue Star.

For example, a player getting AAA on his first song of the day will receive the three stars for a grade of AAA and the Daily Star (dark blue) won't be used. The Star(s) that was lost in this process are not carried over in the next game, it is lost forever. Also, no Star is given for a E (FAILED) a song.

ENCORE EXTRA STAGE Requirement

To unlock the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, the player have to get an AA or AAA on the EXTRA STAGE song. No Result Star are needed in this case.

Unlock Schedule

At first, two exclusive songs, one for each STAGE (EXTRA and ENCORE EXTRA) were available. Similar to how EXTRA/ENCORE STAGE worked in previous games, more songs were added over time. This time around, songs were also added directly as EXTRA STAGE and other even kept their ENCORE EXTRA STAGE-only status until they were finally unlocked for everyone.

Tsugidoka! (つぎドカ!)

BEMANI Linked Song Battle "Tsugidoka!" (BEMANI連動選曲バトル「つぎドカ!」) was a linked battle event between four BEMANI series. The goal was to find a winner song to be transplated to jubeat saucer. Each series had a representative song made by its sound director: TAG for DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX, 96 for GuitarFreaksXG3 & DrumManiaXG3, PON for pop'n music Sunny Park, and Qrispy Joybox for REFLEC BEAT colette -Winter-.

The event started on December 19th, 2012 with the four songs being added to the participating series (GuitarFreaks & DrumMania received rock arrangements of Cosmic Hurricane and snow prism). The winner song was selected using the total play counts on all the games combined at the end of the event on January 8th, 2013. The winning song 紅焔 was transplated to jubeat saucer on January 9th, 2013. The other songs were added to jubeat saucer on February 1st, 2013 via saucer bistro 5th set.

2ndMIX MODE

A completely redone DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX is featured as a separate mode in DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX. This revamped version have high definition graphics, 2ndMIX dancing characters, banners (with the original typos) and background animations. Nearly all of the original gameplay found in the game was kept such as the modifiers requiring command codes in order to use them, COUPLE Play being available, hidden songs with various requirements each to make them appear. Also, all the old terminology was kept such as CUT1 returning to its former name, LITTLE.

The notable differences between the original game and the HD remake are:

  • The new widescreen ratio (16:9 instead of 4:3).
  • All the songs from the LINK VERSION, STRICTLY BUSINESS and the three STEP BATTLE songs were not included.
  • DREAD and JANET are the only possible characters, it is not possible to change them with AFRO and LADY.
  • 2ndMIX MODE difficulty rated from 1 to 10, due to PARANOiA Revolution and TRIP MACHINE having a 9 and 10 in their charts. Originally all songs in the game were rated from 1 to 8.

CROSSOVER DDR

On August 2, 2012, the CROSSOVER DDR event started. During the event, players can unlock every 2ndMIX songs for play on X3's PRO Mode or Quick Play. The two exceptions are HERO, as the song is already in X3 (using the X-edit version from X2) and PARANOiA MAX~DIRTY MIX~(in roulette), as there is no Roulette option in X3. For their appearance in X3, every song received a brand new jacket made of the disc seen in 2ndMIX. The song's banner was added on 4/20/2012 at the bottom of the disc on the jacket. The unlocked songs appears in the X3 folder instead of the 2ndMIX folder, they would return to their original folder in DanceDanceRevolution (2013).

In 2ndMIX Mode, the song list is divided in two parts: EASY / NORMAL Mode and HARD Mode. Each song have to be played in its respective 2ndMIX's sub-mode in order to be unlocked in X3. Both SINGLE and DOUBLE charts have to be unlocked individually on every difficulty available: BASIC, ANOTHER and MANIAC (SP only). After unlocking the first chart for a song in SINLE Play, the new BEGINNER chart is also unlocked. Clearing all the three difficulties will also unlock the CHALLENGE charts for play in X3 Mode. In DOUBLE Play, clearing the two difficulties will unlock the EXPERT and CHALLENGE charts for that song in X3.

On 6/02/2012, obtaining the rank of SS (a FULL COMBO-only grade in 2ndMIX) before the FINAL STAGE will unlock one of the two following songs for the FINAL STAGE:

  • In NORMAL Mode (2ndMIX), TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION will then be playable.
  • In HARD Mode, PARANOiA Revolution will then be playable.

To make them appears in X3 and also appears later as EXTRA STAGE in X3, all the charts found in NORMAL and HARD Mode respectively, have to be cleared. Finally, scoring AA or better on these songs on EXPERT unlock the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, LOVE IS THE POWER Re:born. The song was previously only found playing during the ending credits of DanceDanceRevolution 2ndReMIX's ARCADE mode.

On 11/05/2012, all the 2ndMIX songs were fully unlocked for everyone.
