DanceDanceRevolution X CS (North America)
DanceDanceRevolution X CS (North America)
Release Information
- Release Date: September 16th, 2008
General Information / Changes
- Difficulty rating system expanded from 1-10 to 1-20. Older songs were re-rated to reflect this, with a new rating corresponding to approximately 1.5x the old rating.
- Despite the highest possible rating being 20, no songs in the game are rated higher than 18.
- New announcers, Justin and Wil-Dog from Ozomatli, replace Londell "Taz" Hicks, which was used in the series since DDRMAX.
- Shock Arrows introduced on some CHALLENGE charts. Stepping on them results in your gauge going down, just like a misstep would.
- Shock Arrow charts have a unique background video with thunder storms, eliminating any on-screen dancers.
- To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the DanceDanceRevolution franchise, several old Dancemania licenses are revived with new charts and cuts, labeled with (2008 X-edit).
- First CS DanceDanceRevolution game based on an arcade release that was released before the original arcade version itself was.
- Along with having all but one of X's arcade original songs, the rest of the songlist consists of new licenses, most of the remaining DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2 songs, the KONAMI originals from its Japanese console counterpart, and SOUL CRASH.
- First North American PlayStation 2 DanceDanceRevolution game to support 480p.
- 480p mode is prompted by holding cross (X) and triangle (Δ) together when starting the game.
- The main method of unlocking things is through the mission-based Street Master Mode (though songs, characters, and courses can be obtained just by playing Game Mode).
- This mode is notable for being one of the few instances where the dancer characters are given significant characterization outside of their biographies.
- This mode can only be played by one player (either Player 1 or Player 2).
- If the player's selected dancer uses his/her outfit from SuperNOVA or SuperNOVA2, the "pattern C" cut-in used for that character is a recolored version of the portrait used every 100 combos.
- Total songs: 75

EXTRA STAGE System
The EXTRA STAGE system in this game essentially matches the arcade release of DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2, using a "queue" of boss songs that appear and "downgrade" themselves to easier stages as the earlier ones get unlocked. Passing a boss song does not automatically unlock it for regular play; as with all unlockable songs, they must be unlocked through Street Master Mode or by playing enough songs. During any special stage, you can still choose any song on the songwheel (not limited to only boss songs).
If an A grade or higher is obtained on any stage before FINAL STAGE, the special FINAL STAGE will appear, marked by red song text and a CD on the stage intro screen. The special FINAL STAGE can be played only on the difficulty or difficulties that the A grade was obtained on (if Challenge was used, the Expert chart is the one enabled instead), unless the grade was a AA or higher, which enables all difficulties (except Challenge).
Unlocking the EXTRA STAGE requires obtaining a AA on the special FINAL STAGE. The EXTRA STAGE will be playable only on the difficulty or difficulties that the special FINAL STAGE was played on. As in the arcade release of SuperNOVA2, the EXTRA STAGE uses a battery life bar, starting with a number of lives based on the score obtained in the special FINAL STAGE. A score of 950,000 (any AA) gives one life, a score of 962,500 gives two lives, a score of 975,000 gives three lives, and a score of 990,000 (any AAA) gives the maximum of four lives. Unlike SuperNOVA2, the battery segments will be rainbow-colored as long as no lives are lost, rather than only being rainbow-colored if the bar is maxed out at 4 lives.
Accessing the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE requires obtaining a AA on the EXTRA STAGE. The ENCORE EXTRA STAGE will be playable only on the difficulty or difficulties that the EXTRA STAGE was played on. As in the arcade release of SuperNOVA2, the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE always uses a battery life bar containing only one life, which is colored red. Unlike SuperNOVA2, the word "Danger!" will not display over the lifebar.
The "queue" of boss songs appears in this order: On the Break → Horatio → Trigger → on the bounce → Pluto → SABER WING (AKIRA ISHIHARA Headshot mix) → Pluto Relinquish. For example, On the Break is the default special FINAL STAGE, Horatio is the default special EXTRA STAGE, and Trigger is the default special ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. When the song that is the special FINAL STAGE is unlocked for normal play, the song that was the EXTRA STAGE becomes the special FINAL STAGE, the song that was the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE becomes the EXTRA STAGE, and a previously inaccessible song becomes newly accessible as the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. Once all songs in the game have been unlocked, the special FINAL STAGE will be Pluto, the EXTRA STAGE will be SABER WING (AKIRA ISHIHARA Headshot mix), and the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE will be Pluto Relinquish.
Unlocking songs out of order (such as unlocking Horatio before On the Break) will have no effect until the song would have been the special FINAL STAGE.
