[edit] Gameplay
- See also: Gameplay of Dance Dance Revolution
The core gameplay and scoring system of DDR 2ndMIX is the same as the previous version of Dance Dance Revolution.
The arrows in DDR 2nd Mix do not have different color-cycles based on their time signature. The "Vivid" arrow colors familiar to players of later mixes were not introduced until Club Version.
[edit] Link Version
Dance Dance Revolution 2ndMIX LINK VERSION, released on April 21, 1999, introduced the ability for players to save high scores and play custom step edits using their PlayStation 1 memory cards. A player would first need to format the memory card with "Link Data" using the home version of 2nd Mix, and then insert the card into one of two slots on the front of the arcade cabinet. Link Version includes 5 new songs, in addition to the full 2nd Mix song list. After the release of Link Version, Link Data features had been implemented in every future DDR version until SuperNOVA (which was originally said to contain support for PlayStation 2 memory cards, but the functionality was removed).
[edit] Home versions
Dance Dance Revolution 2ndReMix, the home version of 2ndMix, was released in Japan on August 26, 1999, for the Sony PlayStation video game console. It includes 34 songs, seven of which are hidden and unlockable. Four of the songs were previews of the next arcade version, Dance Dance Revolution 3rdMix.
On February 17, 2000, Konami released a version of Dance Dance Revolution 2ndMIX for the Dreamcast console. It features 43 songs, seven of which are hidden and unlockable. The song list includes seven songs from DDR 3rd Mix.
A few of the songs in DDR 2nd Mix were included in the U.S. version of Dance Dance Revolution for the Sony PlayStation.
[edit] Soundtrack
The original soundtrack for DDR 2nd Mix was produced by Toshiba-EMI under their Dancemania dance music brand. It featured 32 of the songs in the game. It was released on April 28, 1999.
