Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix - Strategy Guide (Page 08)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix - Strategy Guide (Page 08).

Workout Setting

Weight: Set this and the amount of calories burned will be slightly changed 
 to reflect your weight.

Menu: Set to "Play Time" to play a specific amount of time.  Set to "Calories 
 Burned" and you'll play until you reach that number of calories.  "No 
 Setting" will let you have no restrictions.

Goal: Set to minutes if "Play Time" is on Menu, and to a calorie amount if 
 "Calories Burned is on Menu.

Workout Step: With one star, you'll have a very easy mode.  With two stars, 
 the steps will be "Little".  With three stars, you'll play the songs as 
 normal.

Workout Results

After every song, you'll see a Workout Results screen where you can see your 
calorie-related results.  Press Start to see them charted in relation to 
other day's workouts.

===================
8C. Training Mode =
===================

Select this to pick songs and tackle them on your own terms.  You may select 
the song, the mode (Single, Versus, Double), its difficulty, any song options 
you want (as detailed in the How To Dance section far above), and you may put 
in any Edit Data you wish.

In addition (unlike other modes of gameplay), you can set Assist, which 
allows you to play with any combination of the music, a metronome (which 
marks standard quarter note beats), and a handclap (which claps whenever 
there's an arrow).

Also, you can set the song's speed.  Unlike the song option called Speed, 
this actually changes how fast the song goes.  It's good for taking fast 
songs at speeds you can manage.

Finally, you can set what measure the song begins and ends.  The "Start" 
function below it will allow you to quickly change between the measures you 
select and the whole song.

===============
8D. Edit Mode =
===============

Well, I'm not gonna go through all the possibilities that Edit Mode offers 
here.  Honestly, if you're serious about Editing, you'll probably know to 
read the instructions on this one.  Seriously, there's too much info about it 
for me to justify making a section for it.

This FAQ was made 100% by me, and is Copyright © 2004 Scott "CyricZ" 
Zdankiewicz.  You may not take it in whole or in part and claim it as your 
own.  You may not alter it in any way, even if you ask me first, and that 
includes putting it in HTML format.  Please don’t post this on your site 
unless you have express consent by me.  I’ve put a lot of time into this.  
Give me some credit...

All songs and their lyrics are copyright their respective owners.  DDR is

Currently, the following sites have permission to post my FAQ:

www.cheatcc.com
www.gamefaqs.com
www.ign.com

I'm not going to allow people with small personal sites to post this FAQ.  
They may post the link on GameFAQs with all the DDRMAX2 guides, but, trying to 
keep updates, well, updated, I'll only allow large committed sites that I 
trust.

========================
11B. E-mail Guidelines =
========================

If you wish to e-mail me, be sure to follow these guidelines...

- Make ABSOLUTELY sure I haven't already answered your question in the guide.
- Make sure it has something to do with DDR Ultramix.  I don't want spam, 
chain letters, offers for friendship.  Don't bother me with info on other DDR 
games, really.  I keep my ear pretty close to the ground about such things, 
and I'll probably know about it before you.  Compliment me on the FAQ all you 
want, though...
- Make sure you say "DDR Ultramix" at one point in your e-mail.  I have more 
than one FAQ, and I can't always figure the question out without specifying 
what game you're asking about.
- Asking how to beat a song will result in a deletion.  There really are no 
tips to offer for DDR'ing besides what I have in my section.  It has to come 
from your own skill and desire to pass.
- Spell correctly and use proper grammar, please.  If I can't understand 
your e-mail, it'll go to the junk pile...

11C. Credits =
==============

CJayC and Al Amaloo for having this on their sites.

www.animelyrics.com, for compiling, catalouging, and translating tons of 
lyrics, including those in the DDR games.

The GameFAQs B&RA board, for their help with genres.

Konami and the Bemani studio, for their effort in bringing a superb game to 
the States, and KCEH for their localizing the game for the X-BOX.

======================
11D. Version Updates =
======================

Version 1.0 - 8/28/04 - All the normal stuff and three song packs up.  As soon 
 as the place I visit gets their LIVE account set up, I'll have the other 
 three packs.

Version 1.1 - 9/19/04 - All righty.  Got the other three song packs done.  
 I'll soon have updates with genres.

Version 1.2 - 9/24/04 - Added genres.

Version 1.3 - 12/5/04 - Ultramix 2 info added.

=====================
11E. The Final Word =
=====================

Well, KCEH did an okay job for themselves of transplanting this game to the 
X-BOX.  A bit rough around the edges, to be sure, but hey, that's what 
sequels are for.
