Dance Dance Revolution (Disney versions)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dance Dance Revolution: Disney Mix (known as Disney Rave in Japan) is a music video game based on the popular Dance Dance Revolution series with animated Disney characters and electronic dance music remixes of past Disney songs. They also include a few non-Disney songs that were popular at the time of the game's release.

[edit] Versions

A version of this game was released for the original PlayStation in North America, along with versions released for the Japanese and European PlayStation versions. The European and US versions had some songs omitted or replaced from the Japanese version, as well as an added unlockable Maniac (Hard) difficulty for the steps, once the Basic and Trick difficulties were completed for each song. There was also a version released for Game Boy in Japan. The PlayStation version of the game is considered a rare and valuable item today: used copies routinely sell for as much as $150 US on eBay.[citation needed]

Additionally, there was an arcade version of this game released. These Disney machines are more difficult to find than most DDR machines, but one of them was located in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom in the arcade by Space Mountain. The arcade has since been renovated into a store. However, the machine still resides in the back portion of the store as of October 2006. It is also possible to play the PlayStation version in Innoventions in EPCOT and Disneyland. In Canada, the arcade version was only located at LaserQuest in Calgary, Alberta but recently they have changed the cabinet to a Dance Dance Revolution EXTREME version. Also, the European version of Disney Mix, titled Dancing Stage Disney Mix, can be found in the Adventuredome of the Circus Circus casino and hotel resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.[citation needed]

In 2006, Konami released a Plug-and-play version of this game, that required no console and could be plugged directly into a television set. This version featured only nine songs, inferior graphics, a much decreased difficulty level, and hardware of questionable quality.[citation needed]

Another Disney-related DDR game (Disney Dancing Museum) was also released for the Nintendo 64, which had a different track list. It appears to be aimed at a younger audience, as the difficulty level is much lower than any of the other games in the series.
