Release Information

  • Release dates:
    • Japan: July 7th, 2010
    • North America: December 31st, 2010
    • Europe: May 13th, 2011
  • Slogan: きっと踊れる!足はモット動く! (Kitto odoreru! Ashi wa motto ugoku!; I'm sure you can dance! The legs move faster!)

General Information / Changes

  • First BEMANI game to support PASELI.
  • First arcade DanceDanceRevolution game not to have the announcer saying the game title on the title screen.
  • First non-spinoff DanceDanceRevolution title that NAOKI did not work on as part of the game's staff.
  • Interface has been given a complete overhaul. Songs and folders are now chosen sideways, with album jackets replacing the series' long-time traditional banners. This type of interface design was first seen on DanceDanceRevolution UNIVERSE3.
    • Most older DanceDanceRevolution songs reuse their background image from the original songs, marking the first time these have been seen since EXTREME.
    • Jackets for new songs from SuperNOVA to X are designed from their banners instead.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to feature special background dance stages that play special background videos for certain songs. Six stages with this trait are available: BIG SCREEN (used by songs like KIMONO♥PRINCESS); white and black variants of the MOVIE dance stage (used by songs like roppongi EVOLVED ver.D and VANESSA, respectively); and teal, purple, and pink variants of the REPLICANT dance stage (used by the Replicant D-action songs).
  • Many of the background dance stages returning from DanceDanceRevolution X have been changed:
    • BOOM BOOM BOOM no longer features equalizer graphics on one of the props in front of but far away from the dancers.
    • BOOM DARK has lost its rising equalizer bar walls, making it look even darker. This change would stay until DanceDanceRevolution A.
    • CRYSTALDIUM no longer changes background color, instead always being colored light blue.
    • The stars falling from the disco balls in the DANCING RAYS stage are now gone.
    • LOVE SWEETS no longer features "10th" written on the dance floor.
  • The CAPTURE ME dance stage from DanceDanceRevolution X is no longer present.
  • First time since 3rdMIX where no color labeling is used for songs. Instead, all songs have the same black font (with the exception of the current EXTRA STAGE and ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, which are presented in black font with a red shadow).
  • HAPPY MODE introduced, which feature a beginner-friendly interface for new players to the game. Only Single play style is available and a limited number of songs can be selected. Only SPEED modifiers can be changed (during the song). The PRO MODE is the standard, default game mode.
    • Game will return to attract mode after countdown timer is up if neither HAPPY nor PRO modes are confirmed for selection.
    • BATTLE MODE has been removed.
  • All X-Special charts were moved to the DanceDanceRevolution X folder instead of their original game's folder.
  • Difficulty bar/foot ratings have been removed; plain numbers are used instead.
    • HAPPY MODE difficulties still retain the classic "foot rating" system, except the scale is now simplified to a 6-level scale (1 foot to 5 flashing feet).
  • First DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to be in a crossover event with another BEMANI series; in this case, jubeat knit APPEND's APPEND FESTIVAL.
  • New EXTRA STAGE system, Replicant D-action, introduced (more detail in its own section below).
  • HIDDEN+ and SUDDEN+ options have been added. These options can only be selected on HD cabinets.
  • SPEED settings can now be set after choosing a song, by pressing the left and right select buttons in increments of 0.5. Note that this can only be done several beats before the first note or before SCREEN FILTER takes effect.
  • Almost judgement has been removed, and N.G. is now merged with Boo, now renamed to its former name MISS.
  • Character selection screen is now exclusive to eAMUSEMENT.
  • The new choreographies introduced in DanceDanceRevolution X from the HOTTEST PARTY series have been slightly modified. One of three parts of the choreography is randomly and continually selected throughout the song.
    • The dancing characters' animation speed, alongside the background dance stage animations and camera work, is also no longer affected by the song BPM or stops.
    • Dance Celebration's special choreography has been removed.
    • Characters additionally no longer start in a standing idle pose before the song starts; instead, they immediately start dancing as soon as the song has loaded in.
  • The system background music was composed by Jamie Thompson and Dave Phaneuf.
  • Last DanceDanceRevolution arcade release in North America and Europe until DanceDanceRevolution A.
  • SPEED modifiers removed: x0.25 and x0.5. They would later return in DanceDanceRevolution (2014) as Premium Play exclusives.
  • User interface for options has been modified. Highlighted options will show in green and white text when changing. The rest of the options are in black text.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game to show the option RISKY (single-life bar a la ENCORE EXTRA STAGE). However, it does not appear if play style is SINGLE with training mode enabled for the other player on first stage, or VERSUS.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game to show the FAST (if a note is hit earlier) or SLOW (if a note is hit later) message during gameplay when hitting a note on anything but MARVELOUS or MISS.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game to have training mode enabled/disabled before the game begins. This was used until its sequel.
  • First DanceDanceRevolution game since EXTREME to feature EX SCORE, although it can be enabled by a code, and is only available for X cabinets.
    • The scoring scheme remains the same during Challenge Mode: both MARVELOUS and O.K. judgements are worth 3 points, PERFECT gives 2, and GREAT gives 1. The score increment will only appear when it is enabled.
  • eAMUSEMENT support for DanceDanceRevolution X2 ended on December 31st, 2011.
  • New songs: 90 (Asia), 88 (North America/Europe) (including the 7 Chinese CHALLENGE songs)
  • Total songs: 451 (Asia), 449 (North America/Europe) (including the 7 Chinese CHALLENGE songs)

EXTRA STAGE / ENCORE EXTRA STAGE

To unlock the EXTRA STAGE this time around, the player must now obtain AA/AAA all of the songs in one game session. There are no FINAL STAGE-exclusive songs in X2.

Doing so unlocks KIMONO♥PRINCESS as the song EXTRA STAGE, although what difficulty level they can play the song on depends on how many stages they play and how much accumulated difficulty levels the songs they played.

Number of stages
(1st STAGE to FINAL STAGE)
BEGINNER BEGINNER and BASIC BEGINNER, BASIC, and DIFFICULT BEGINNER, BASIC, DIFFICULT, and EXPERT
2 1 (2 x 0 + 1) to 12 (2 x 6) 13 (2 x 6 + 1) to 18 (2 x 9) 19 (2 x 9 + 1) to 26 (2 x 13) 27 (2 x 13 + 1) to 38 (2 x 19)
3 1 (3 x 0 + 1) to 18 (3 x 6) 19 (3 x 6 + 1) to 27 (3 x 9) 28 (3 x 9 + 1) to 39 (3 x 13) 40 (3 x 13 + 1) to 57 (3 x 19)
4 1 (4 x 0 + 1) to 24 (4 x 6) 25 (4 x 6 + 1) to 36 (4 x 9) 37 (4 x 9 + 1) to 52 (4 x 13) 53 (4 x 13 + 1) to 76 (4 x 19)
5 1 (5 x 0 + 1) to 30 (5 x 6) 31 (5 x 6 + 1) to 45 (5 x 9) 45 (5 x 9 + 1) to 65 (5 x 13) 66 (5 x 13 + 1) to 95 (5 x 19)

Getting a AA or higher on KIMONO♥PRINCESS on EXPERT difficulty unlocks the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, roppongi EVOLVED. Note that are four different versions of the song; which version you get is random. You can't choose another song or difficulty other than EXPERT for your ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, though you are allowed to set options.

On August 25th, 2010, the Boss Rush X2 course was unlocked, giving access to roppongi EVOLVED's DIFFICULT charts and on more than one life for the first time.

Both KIMONO♥PRINCESS and roppongi EVOLVED were unlocked for regular play on January 26th, 2011.

Replicant D-action

Replicant D-action is a new EXTRA STAGE event in DanceDanceRevolution X2. Its design is similar to CARDINAL GATE from beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD. By fulfilling certain requirements, the player can unlock a special folder, with each song represented by a color, and the requirements for each are listed below (Single and Double requirements must be met separately):

Song Conditions
Pierce The Sky Clear any 20 charts from the X2 folder.
(Replicant D-action songs count towards the condition, and any charts are cumulative.)
Sakura Sunrise Clear two different songs in each game folder (12 folders or 24 songs in total).
Shiny World Clear at least five different courses and one drill course.
(any difficulty is allowed; ORDER courses or courses previously cleared does not count.)
Anti-Matter Play Trial Mode three times (both players must clear the song), then play Pierce The Sky and Shiny World on the same difficulty (depending on which difficulty you want to play Anti-Matter song on).
(This condition will fulfill both play style conditions for Single and Double)
New Decade Full combo at least 15 different charts, then play Sakura Sunrise and Shiny World on the same difficulty (depending on which difficulty you want to play New Decade song on).
(Players can clear the same song on multiple difficulties.)
POSSESSION Clear songs on CHALLENGE difficulty until their total levels add up to least 100 then play Pierce The Sky and Sakura Sunrise on the same difficulty (depending on which difficulty you want to play POSSESSION song on).
(playing the same song multiple times are allowed)
Valkyrie dimension Obtain all six medals by clearing the six aforementioned songs in no particular order (see conditions below).
(the song is forced on EXPERT difficulty regardless of difficulty played on EXTRA STAGE; option menu cannot be accessed.)

Once the player has met the requirements for at least one song, a special Replicant D-action folder will appear during EXTRA STAGE only, containing all songs that the player has met the requirements for. The game will first inform you on songs with high difficulties, and by opening it, the player will be locked onto the folder. Inside the folder a special BGM plays, hiding any song previews. While playing each song, the player's dance character battles a RINON clone of the song's color, who appears as a secondary background dancer.

To obtain a medal for the first six songs, players have to clear on EXPERT with a AA or better. By obtaining all six medals, the player will immediately play Valkyrie dimension as ENCORE EXTRA STAGE on EXPERT without any opportunity to change any options (except the speed mod, by pressing the left/right buttons). Note that playing the song will cost all six medals, thus the player must obtain all the medals to attempt the song again.

Updates / Regional Differences

As of August 31st, 2010, it is possible to obtain medals by getting a AA on BASIC or DIFFICULT; however, Valkyrie dimension's difficulty will still be locked to EXPERT. In addition, any arrow-removing options (CUT1/CUT2, Jumps Off, Freezes Off) that the player has set on their sixth medal song will be unset for Valkyrie dimension. (This fixes an exploit where it was possible to play Valkyrie dimension's EXPERT chart on CUT2, making it much easier, by obtaining the last medal on Sakura Sunrise on CUT2.)

As of November 2nd, 2010, the VS REPLICANT boss course is unlocked, making it possible to play all seven Replicant D-action songs in a row on one credit, and also revealing Valkyrie dimension's DIFFICULT charts for the first time.

As of February 23rd, 2011, the Replicant D-action event has ended, the special folder is no longer accessible, and all seven songs are unlocked for normal play (revealing Valkyrie dimension's BASIC and BEGINNER charts for the first time). In addition, CHALLENGE charts for the last four songs are unlocked for Marathon Mode.

As of April 1st, 2011, the four CHALLENGE charts that were previously Marathon Mode-exclusive are unlocked for normal play.

In the Western releases of DanceDanceRevolution X2, due to the releases not supporting e-AMUSEMENT, the unlock mechanics of the seven songs were heavily simplified. On release date (December 31st, 2010), all seven songs were locked. On July 28th, 2011, the first three songs were unlocked for normal play and the VS REPLICANT course was unlocked, allowing access to the remaining four songs. On October 1st, 2011, the remaining four songs were unlocked for normal play.

Trivia

  • A DanceDanceRevolution X2 cabinet appears in the movies Wreck-It Ralph and Ralph Breaks The Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 (also known as Sugar Rush and Sugar Rush: Online in Japan respectively).
  • Another DanceDanceRevolution X2 cabinet appears at the KONAMI Penthouse, a virtual space in the PlayStation 3's PlayStation Home.
  • The unlock event Ganbare PiX Kirakira Douchou (がんばれPiX キラキラ道中) is a reference to the mini-game Wakusei Impact wo sukue! (惑星インパクトを救え!) from the KONAMI Super Famicom game Ganbare Goemon: Kirakira douchuu ~Boku ga Dancer ni natta riyuu~ (がんばれゴエモン きらきら道中 ~僕がダンサーになった理由~).
