General Information / Changes
- Contains all of DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX LINK VERSION's songs.
- Backwards compatible with DanceDanceRevolution CS (Japan), allowing one to instantly unlock the songs from that game by having data from both games.
- You can also play all the songs from DanceDanceRevolution CS (Japan) on the 2ndReMIX interface using the DISC CHANGE feature, which can also unlock EVENT MODE by disc changing to the aforementioned title and disc change back and forth between the the two games.
- However, background effects/animations are turned off, and static backgrounds are shown when played via DISC CHANGE.
- STEP BATTLE songs are now playable outside of that mode. Only LET THEM MOVE is available by default, though.
- The color-coded FLAT arrow has been fixed.
