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:
- BASIC charts with a difficulty rating of 1 or 2 have a yellow and green V-shaped shoshinsha mark in the songwheel. This mark is 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 the 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 song order can now be sorted in one of four ways:
- The default, which is determined by sorting in the following order: group, BASIC rating, TRICK rating, MANIAC rating, and finally song title.
- This order uses the current play style, meaning that the song order will be different between Single and Double play.
- ABC, which sorts the songs by their titles.
- BPM, which sorts the songs by BPM.
- Player's Best, which shows the top 30 songs from most played to 30th most played.
- The default, which is determined by sorting in the following order: group, BASIC rating, TRICK rating, MANIAC rating, and finally song title.
- The sort order can be changed by holding both the left and right selection buttons and then pressing the start button.
- The gameplay interface has been completely changed.
- It now runs at 60 FPS, making this game the first mainline DanceDanceRevolution title to do so. (The spinoff game Dancing Stage featuring TRUE KiSS DESTiNATiON was the first to do 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.
- 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
