|| 1. Introduction ||
===============================================================================
Karaoke Revolution returns again with Volume 3 - now with duets! Now you can
sing cooperatively with your best friend or against your rival at the same
time instead of one person waiting on the sidelines while the other struts
his or her stuff.
(More to come in this section later.)
This FAQ will explore all the modes of the game and include the song lyrics,
as well as information regarding the scores you can achieve in the game.
There will also be a list of the extras you can unlock, such as videos, new
songs and extra characters.

|| 2. Characters ||
===============================================================================

===============================================================================
These characters must be unlocked by meeting certain requirements before they
can be selected and used. Isis, Taylor, Junior and Monique can all be edited
using the character creator. FR-3Q and Enrique, however, cannot be modified,
meaning their default setups are the only ones you can use for them.

===============================================================================
| c. Character Creator |
===============================================================================
The Character Creator is a new addition to Karaoke Revolution. The creator
can be selected from the main menu or it can be entered using the "edit
character" command on any character select screen. This section will include
a list of all the options - every single one - that are available in the
character creator, selections AND colors. If an option has different colors,
they will be next to the selection in parenthesis. If not, there will simply
be the selection, nothing else. Any article that has an asterisk must be
unlocked before it is available, check the requirements in the "extras"
section under "unlock progress" to find out how to get them. Certain things
may be unlocked as part of a character unlock, so if you're curious as to
those specifics, email me.

|| 3. Game Modes (Single Player) ||
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
| A. Quickplay |
===============================================================================
Quickplay mode is very similar to the Arcade mode in the earlier Karaoke
Revolution games. The major differences are that you can sing as many songs
as you want without exiting the mode, and there is no stipulation for the
difficulty of the next song you must pick. A more detailed explanation
will be available in a future update.
===============================================================================
| B. Medley |
===============================================================================
Medley mode allows you to choose from 3-5 songs and sing a compilation with a
part of each song. Scoring is similar to Showtime and Quick Play modes, but
since different parts of each song play in different medleys, it's difficult
if not impossible to make an accurate guide for all the different possible
medleys in the game. I will put up a table with the maximum scores you can
achieve with a certain length medley in an upcoming update.
===============================================================================
| C. Karaoke |
===============================================================================
Karaoke mode is another way you can practice songs or sing without worrying
about what score or rating you get. This mode is also great if more than one
person wants to sing along to the song because you don't need to wear the mic
or worry about it picking up other voices, throwing off the reading the mic
registers. In Karaoke mode, you can choose to play in one of the 8 venues, or
you can choose "Full Screen Lyrics" mode, which will display the lyrics on the
entire screen with the Enormobowl as a background. Each phrase will appear
in succession as you must sing it, and the letters change from white to green
as they pass. The phrases appear exactly as they do in the other game modes.
===============================================================================
| D. Sing and Dance |
===============================================================================
Ever thought about singing while playing Dance Dance Revolution? What about
dancing while singing with Karaoke Revolution? Well, your dreams have come
true! Sing and Dance mode is like combining KR and DDR, singing a song while
matching the steps on a dance pad. The singing difficulties are the same as
in all the stand-alone singing modes, and the dancing difficulties somewhat
mirror the difficulties in DDR. "Easy" is roughly equivalent to DDR's
"Beginner" difficulty, ranging from 1 to 3 feet. The higher the number of
feet, the more difficult the steps. "Medium" equates to "Light" and can have
a maximum step rating of 5 feet. "Hard" mirrors "Standard" and goes up to 7
feet. The most difficult steps fall under "Expert" or, in DDR terms, "Heavy"
and can max out at a whopping 9 feet. These steps aren't quite as difficult
as their equivalent DDR difficulties, but when you're singing at the same
time, would you really want them to be?
The songs are shorter than the standard length for Sing and Dance mode. Some
of them are about the length of the "Short Song" option, but some of them
are shifted to make it easier to dance to them. 27 of the 50 songs in the
game are available in Sing and Dance mode. A complete list will be in the
next version of the FAQ. For now, you can check the Song Guide to see which
songs are available as they have the information for the mode below the other
info for the song.
===============================================================================
| E. Training |
===============================================================================
Training mode is a walkthrough of how to play the game. This section will be
a script of what the "instructor" says during the mode.
Note that this training is the same as in previous games, except "I Love Rock
And Roll" is played for the training.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi. Welcome to Karaoke Revolution Training Mode. This is where you'll learn
everything you'll need to know to play the game. Before we begin, make sure you
plug in the headset and put it on your head, with the microphone placed 1-2 cm
from your mouth. Ready? Let's check out the game. The object of Karaoke
Revolution is to sing the song exactly the way it was originally recorded. Let
me show you around a bit.
These blue bars are called Note Tubes. Note Tubes show the pitch and length of
each note you need to sing. The corresponding lyrics are displayed at the
bottom of the screen.
This is the Now Bar. When the notes and lyrics hit this bar, it's time for you
to sing.
The Pitch Arrow will show you the current pitch you're singing. You'll know
you're in tune when the pitch arrow lines up with the Note Tubes and the sparks
start flying. If the song is too high or low for you, you can sing one octave
lower or higher without losing points.
Let's try some singing. I'll play part of a song, and then I'll ask you to sing
it. Listen closely! You'll get a few chances to try what you've just learned.
Sing the lyrics as they reach the Now Bar. Ready? Go!
That's it, keep going!
Right on, great job!
Excellent, now let's move on!
Now I'll teach you about phrases. A phrase is one line of lyrics within the
song, like a musical sentence. This vertical line shows you where one phrase
ends and another begins.
This is called the Phrase Meter. The Phrase Meter will fill up as you sing the
notes correctly. At the end of every phrase, your performance will be rated.
Fill the Phrase Meter completely to get a Great! rating.
This is your current Score for the song. You'll get points at the end of each
phrase depending on how well you did.
The Crowd Meter displays how the crowd is reacting to your performance.
Careful! If the Crowd Meter drops down too low, you may get booed off the
stage. If you get the crowd excited enough, you'll get a score multiplier. If
you score Good or Great! on three [or more] phrases in a row, you'll start a
Combo. Continue getting Good and Great! ratings to keep the Combo going.
Keep an eye out for special Crowd Boost! phrases. If you sing this phrase well,
the crowd will go wild and the Crowd Meter will get a boost.
At the end of the song, you'll get a final score tally based on your
performance. If your score is high enough, you'll be awarded a Gold or Platinum
record. During the song, you can change the volume levels by holding the
Triangle, Circle, X or Square buttons and pressing the Directional Buttons.
Okay, are you ready for your final test? Sing this song and see if you can fill
up the Phrase Meter. You will be judged on your performance. Here we go!
That's it, keep going!
Right on, great job!
Wow, very impressive!
Congratulations! You've completed Training and you should be ready for
Showtime. Good luck!

Max Combo: 24
Short Max: 24
Ain't nothing like the real thing baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I've got your picture hanging on the wall
But it can't see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame
I read your letter you're not near
But they don't move they don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear
Ain't nothing like the real thing baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I play my game of fantasy
I pretend but I know in reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
Oh I got some memories to look back on
Though they help when you're gone I'm well aware
Nothing can take the place of your being there
Oh so glad we got the real thing baby
So glad we got the real thing
Oh Marvin ain't nothing like the real thing baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

[I know ya wanna leave me
But I refuse to let you go
If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy
I don't mind 'cause you mean that much to me
Ain't to proud to beg and you know it
Please don't leave me girl
Ain't too proud to plead baby baby
Please don't leave me girl
Now I've heard a crying man is half a man
With no sense of pride
But if I have to cry to keep you
I don't mind weepin'
If it'll keep you by my side
Ain't too proud to beg sweet darlin'
Please don't leave me girl
Ain't too proud to plead baby baby
Please don't leave me girl
If I have to sleep on your doorstep all night and day
Just to keep you from walkin' away
Let your friends laugh even this I can stand
'Cause I want to keep you any way I can
Ain't too proud to beg sweet darlin'
Please don't leave me girl
Ain't too proud to plead baby baby
Please don't leave me girl
Hoo hoo hoo all right]
Now I've got a love so deep in the pit of my heart
And each day it grows more and more
I'm not ashamed to come and plead to you baby
If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out that door
Ain't to proud to beg and you know it
Please don't leave me girl
Ain't too proud to plead baby baby
Please don't leave me girl
