Dance Maniax 2ndMIX
Release Information
- Release date: December 5th, 2000
General Information / Changes
- First Dance Maniax game, and the first BEMANI game, to show full-screen video behind transparent note lanes.
- Dance Maniax 2ndMIX changes many things from the previous version:
- Starting the game directly forces the player to enter COURSE SELECT in MILD difficulty. To enter the mode selection screen without restrictions, hold the right button depending on the player's side on the title screen and then press Start.
- The options menu is now always shown to the player, just after mode selection.
- In MUSIC SELECT mode, players can now select a number of songs in a course per game before the gameplay starts. The same song can be selected more than once, unlike in the previous game.
- The coin system from Dance Maniax is gone.
- Players can now choose either MILD or WILD for each selected song. This removes the only use of the IR sensors in the menus.
- All perfect, great, and good judgments are displayed as "OK" and all misses are displayed as "BAD". This change is only visual and the scoring is unchanged.
- Two players in versus mode can no longer play on separate difficulty levels.
- First Dance Maniax game to have a chart rated 9 stars.
- First Dance Maniax game to feature MARATHON mode. In this mode, all 28 new songs are played back to back with a very strict life bar.
- All of the new licenses come from the album Dancemania EURO☆MIX HAPPY PARADISE.
- All the courses (except INTERNET RANKING ones) are named after the moons of the planets in the Solar System. This was also carried forward to append JPARADISE as well.
- When number of combo is at least 1,000, it shows the word FEVER instead.
- New songs: 28
- Total songs: 53
