DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX
Release Information
- Release Date: March 27th, 2001.
General Information / Changes
- Introduces a new circular songwheel interface, replacing the jukebox-style interface of earlier entries:
- Songs are now ordered by BASIC foot ratings.
- BASIC charts with a difficulty rating of 1 or 2 have a yellow and green V-shaped icon in the songwheel. This is the mark used in Japan to indicate beginner drivers.
- Song titles are now displayed on the right as rectangular boxes, with banners on the left side of the screen.
- BPM is displayed above the song banners, while difficulty ratings are displayed below them.
- Subtitles and artist names are shown in smaller fonts for each song.
- Songs are now grouped by color on the songwheel:
- Yellow represents hidden unlocks.
- Green represents songs new default 5thMIX songs.
- Blue represents songs that made their debut on earlier DanceDanceRevolution titles.
- Selecting individual difficulties during song selection has returned.
- Your play style indicator is now always shown in song selection, stage result, and overall result of all stages, a series first.
- The gameplay interface has been completely changed.
- Game now runs at 60 FPS, the first mainline DanceDanceRevolution title to do so. (Spinoff game Dancing Stage featuring TRUE KiSS DESTiNATiON first did so in 1999.)
- Song backgrounds for each song now always appear at the beginning and end of every song. This carried over to all future arcade DanceDanceRevolution titles up to EXTREME.
- The top and bottom parts of the screen are cropped to make room for score counters and a bar. This would also continue until EXTREME.
- When reaching a MAX COMBO of 100, the arrow flashes will be brighter. This behavior would be used until SuperNOVA.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game to feature LONG VERSION songs.
- LONG VERSION songs can only be played on the penultimate stage of a credit. It counts as two songs when played.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game to feature songs with stops.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game to introduce the AAA rating when achieving a perfect full combo; 4thMIX and 4thMIX PLUS only went up to AA.
- Last mainline DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to feature dancing characters until the release of SuperNOVA.
- Last DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to have the announcer used from the original DanceDanceRevolution title.
- Aside from CAN'T STOP FALLIN' IN LOVE ~SPEED MIX~, none of 5thMIX's licenses ever appeared in another Asian DanceDanceRevolution arcade release.
- Five of the game's KONAMI originals (DIVE, Radical Faith, THE CUBE, and long versions of B4U and DYNAMITE RAVE) have also never reappeared in another mainline Asian DanceDanceRevolution arcade release.
- With 23 exclusives, 5thMIX has the record for the largest amount of exclusive tracks of any Asian DanceDanceRevolution arcade release.
- All of the game's song banners are taken from the respective song's in-game background.
- Songs from 5thMIX revived in later DanceDanceRevolution games would gain unique banners then, though.
- NONSTOP mode was removed.
- New songs: 40
- Total songs: 122
