==================

In this mode, you begin by entering your weight and goal for your current 
play, either time played or calories burned.  After which, you can choose 
play type, which can be you picking each individual songs, you picking 
marathon courses, or having the songs completely random.

While you play, your calories will be tabulated instead of your score.  You 
cannot fail while playing this mode.  You only finish playing once your goal 
is met.

After you complete the goal, you'll get a workout evalution screen.

This FAQ was made 100% by me, and is Copyright © 2005 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.

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

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 DDREX 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 In The Groove.  I don't want spam, 
chain letters, offers for friendship.  Don't bother me with info on other ITG 
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 "In The Groove" at one point in your e-mail.  I have more 
than one dancing games 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 ITG'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.

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

It's a good dancing game, period.  This is hardly the debacle that MC Groovz 
was.  These guys definitely know what they're doing.  There's still a sense 
of unprofessionalism, but I found it easy to ignore. ^_^

I'm sure I've got some information wrong, so help me if you wish.

Take care and happy dancing!
