Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 06)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 06).

Heavy Notes: Lots and lots of sixteenths clusters are what makes this song 
 what it is.  Near the end, they'll start throwing the clusters together.  
 Those complicated-looking runs are actually sets of three sixteenths, so 
 don't panic when they show up.

Lyrics:

Your eyes make me free
Tenshi no sei mitsumete
Your eyes make me free
Me o tojikashita

Kidzuite yo fukai yami no naka de
Hate shinai towa no yumemisete yo
Kidzuite yo fukai yami no naka de
Hate shinai towa no yumemisete yo

In my eyes...

In my eyes...

In my eyes...

In my eyes...

LGT: 3   3
STD: 5   6

Heavy Notes: This song is mostly streams, with some double steps thrown in 
 for flavor.  Watch for a little bit of chaos, such as where the weird-
 sounding brass comes in.

================================
6G. MAX 300 (Super-Max-Me Mix) =
================================

UNLOCK: Score a AAA OR pass MAXX UNLIMITED on Heavy

Artist: Jondi & Spesh
Genre: Hardcore Techno/Trance*
BPM: 140-320

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 6   6
STD: 8   9
HVY:10  10

Play Notes: The song carries on at a MAX's normal 300 for a bit of the first 
 part.  After the trancey sounds, it cuts up to 320, then drops for a couple 
 of measure to 140, then resumes the 300, and closes out at 320.

Heavy Notes: Some say this is harder than MAXX UNLIMITED and beyond.  I'd 
 say it's comparable.  If you've played both MAX 300 and MAXX UNLIMITED, the 
 steps should be familiar, since it's kind of a split between the two.  Be 
 very careful about losing your stamina in the opener, because there are a lot 
 of doubles in the beginning, which can drain you easily.  And of course, I'd 
 be lynched if I neglected to mention the end, which is a bunch of short to 
 long to giant streams.  Fortunately, most of these streams alternate feet, 
 which is markedly easier than stepping around the pad.

---

First Appearance: BRAND NEW
Artist Notes: Jondi & Spesh are part of the group Loöq Records.  Naturally, 
 this tune was made specifically for this mix.
Misc. Notes: To be perfectly honest, this song seems to take more from MAXX 
 UNLIMITED than it does from MAX 300...

======================
6H. Midnight Special =
======================

UNLOCK: Play 20 Songs

Artist: Love Machineguns
Genre: Ska*
BPM: 182

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 4   6
STD: 5   7
HVY: 7   8

Heavy Notes: Only a little bit of chaos, but a ton of streams, and at a fast 
 pace.  The end guitar riff is one big stream to wear you down to the finish.

---

Lyrics:

In the barrio you gotta learn how to survive
Cause you never know when it’s your turn to take a dive

So you go through each day
With your eyes in the back of your head
You never know if you’ll be alive or be dead

That is why always have it
You carry a midnight special
Never leave home without it
Always better with a midnight special

In the dark on the street
Never know who you’re gonna meet
No problem you got a midnight special

First Appearance: Guitar Freaks 3rd Mix
DDR Debut: BRAND NEW
Artist Notes: Love Machineguns is Toshio Sakurai, Hideyuki Ono, and Yuei 
 Uematsu, all of whom are heavily involved in the Guitar Freaks and drummania 
 series.  The song is sung by Thomas Howard Lichtenstein.

6I. TOE JAM =
=============

UNLOCK: Pass Baile Le Samba, La Cucaracha, and Monkey Punk on Heavy 

Artist: Big Idea
Genre: Country Techno*
BPM: 112-160

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 4   5
STD: 6   6
HVY: 9   9

Play Notes: The song starts at 112, then picks up a little bit once the beat 
 starts going, then goes up to 160 once the percussion really kicks in.

Heavy Notes: When it's slow, you'll step the banjo, mostly, with its chaotic 
 playing.  As the song speeds up, you'll play more and more normal streams, 
 but there's still a bit of chaos to be had between the banjo and fiddle.

---

First Appearance: BRAND NEW
Artist Notes: See Baile Le Samba for info on Big Idea.  This particular song 
 was written by Ryan Shupe, Craig Miner, and Chuck Myers.

==============
6J. ZERO-ONE =
==============

UNLOCK: Score a AA

Artist: Mr.T
Genre: Electroshock*
BPM: 160

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 4   3
STD: 6   6
HVY: 9   9

Heavy Notes: Like most of the Mr.T songs on this mix, you'll once again be 
 stepping most of the melody.  The steps will break off to match the 
 percussion at certain points, which may include sixteenths.

7A. SP1 - Abyss =

Genre: Intelligence*
BPM: 142

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 2   3
STD: 5   5
HVY: 7   7

Play Notes: About halfway through this song is a stop that lasts two measures.

Heavy Notes: There are plenty of long streams in this song, and there are 
 also lots of gallops, although the gallops are pretty standalone.  Make sure 
 you're watching to see what's a gallop and what's a straight eighth.  There's 
 only one spot that requires turning, and that's a medium-length stream near 
 the end.

7B. SP1 - BURNIN' THE FLOOR =

Genre: Euro Groove*
BPM: 155

Difficulty: 
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 4   4
STD: 6   6

Heavy Notes: The streams don't get very long, and there's no turning 
 involved.  Probably the only tricky part is the bridge, where the steps 
 follow the synthesizer hits.

Lyrics:

(Look out on the dancefloor)
(It's waiting for you)
It's time to burn

Burn, burn, burn's the fix
And tell me, do you really wanna roll with this
The heat is on, it's time to move
So where you know just what to do
The temperatures rising, no way out
Going too far, can't stop now
So let me know if you feel it, too
When the fire gets inside of you

Where have, you been all of my life
I've been, looking for you
I wanna dance through, dark into the daylight with you
I wanna burn!
Burn, burn burn, the world right
The rhythm's hard to ignore
Set up a big fire
I just don't care anymore!

Let's make it special, on a dance floor
I can read the signs, but I can't use the lore
Let's get it up, 'cause now's the time
I really wanna make you mine tonight 
Let's put in the fight
You and me, on a fantasy
And if you really wanna learn, I'm gonna show you how to burn

Burn, burn, burn, you burn me
You body's talking to mine (you burn me)
Sizzling sensation, our bodies like it in time (oh yeah!)
You know we gonna burn, burn, burn the fire, they don't make it anymore (talk
 to me)
Fire in big waves, yeah. I've got you burning the floor
Burnin' the floor!
Burnin' the floor!

========================================
7C. SP1 - Burning Heat! (3 Option Mix) =
========================================

Artist: Mr.T with Motoaki.F
Genre: 12 Beat* (Konamix)
BPM: 166

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 2   2
STD: 5   6
HVY: 9   9

Play Notes: Two stops here; at the beginning after several steps, and at the 
 end, just before the last two notes.

Heavy Notes: Definitely a hard nine-footer.  First off, there are almost no 
 eighth notes in this song, per se.  Almost every time you see streams, 
 they'll be too off to be eighth notes, but they're not quite gallops, 
 either.  They're actually triplets, with one note in the tri-puh-let series 
 removed.  Also, once the main melody begins, you'll find that the steps 
 follow it very closely, and all the notes are triplets.  It's basically the 
 same throughout the whole song.  If you know how the song sounds, you'll find 
 it easier, but there are still some nasty turns that the song throws at you 
 to keep you honest.

Difficulty:

STD: 5   5

Heavy Notes: This song likes its freeze arrows, but it won't try to trip you 
 up like some of these other freeze-happy songs.  Beyond that, you'll find 
 mostly simple streams.

Difficulty:

LGT: 4   4
STD: 6   6
HVY: 9   9

Heavy Notes: One pain of a nine-footer.  The streams can get pretty long (up 
 to sixteen notes long), and they'll include turning regularly, including 
 full spins.  Nothing truly special, just a lot of it, and at a fast tempo, 
 too...

7H. SP2 - Midnite Blaze =

Genre: Euro Beat
BPM: 150

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 4   4
STD: 5   5
HVY: 8   8

Heavy Notes: Whenever they play the euro-synth keyboard notes, you'll find 
 yourself stepping to those notes.  The rest is just streams, some pretty 
 long.  There are several points that would suggest you turn, but I don't 
 think you should, because this will put you in a lousy position to tackle 
 the rest of the streams.

Lyrics:

Stole my heart on the dance floor
No way, can't leave no more
What am I supposed to do without you
Make you mine is all I wanna do

Step by step as I approach
I say to myself I need a coach
I know you can read my mind
You're the best that a man can find

I'll be your midnite blaze
Brighter than the moon and stars
Guide you thru the cave of love

I'm gonna dance till the morning
Takes my place to shine the way
When you see the light is not from me
You know it's too late

All nite long you take the lead
Stay with me you're all I need
Please make this moment last
Time is running really fast

Something tells me you must go
Why? I need to know
Do you think we will meet again?
If not my future'll never begin

I'll be your midnite blaze
Brighter than the moon and stars
Guide you thru the cave of love

I'm gonna dance till the morning sunbeam
Takes my place to shine the way
When you see the light is not from me
Told you it's too late

Baby it's too late
Baby it's too late
Baby it's too late

========================
7I. SP2 - OUTER LIMITS =

Artist: L.E.D.-G
Genre: Hardcore Breakbeats*
BPM: 85-342

Difficulty:
    Sgl Dbl
LGT: 5   5
STD: 7   8
HVY:10  10

Play Notes: It starts out at the 85 bpm, then it jams up to 342.  About 
 halfway through, it slows back down, then speeds back up.

Heavy Notes: Well, what's to say.  It's a ten-footer.  I will say that the 
 streams are pretty easy, compared to MAX 300, but the sheer speed of the 
 song can tire you out quickly.

Heavy Notes: Ugh.  Such a great song, and they give it such whacked-out 
 steps.  You really need to see it to understand it.  I'll just say that there 
 are tons of oddly placed freezes, several sixteenths leading to freezes, and 
 steps that don't follow the melody.

Heavy Notes: This song will play lots of tricks on you with freeze arrows.  
 One of the favorites is two sixteenths into a freeze, then jumping off 
 immediately into two sixteenths.  You'll have to do this song several times 
 to get all the quirks down.
