|| 1. Introduction ||
===============================================================================
Karaoke Revolution Volume 2 continues what the original started. Most of the
first game's features make an appearance, and the game also unleashes some new
tricks. The songlist is even more varied than the first, so there's even more
chance that there will be something for everyone in this game. With 35 songs
to choose from, you can party all night and still not be ready to give up!
For single player, Showtime and Karaoke modes have returned, but unfortunately
Arcade mode has not. New to the game is Medley mode, where you can put 3-5
songs together and sing a part of each in one string. With this mode you can
make hundreds of different compilations, making for endless possibilities to
test your singing ability. The multiplayer section still has the arcade mode,
as well as the Karaoke Competition and a multiplayer Medley mode.
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.
===============================================================================

Showtime mode includes a Sound Check option where you can practice the song
before you perform it for a rating. This is useful when you don't know a song
and want to hear it before you sing it for real.
===========
|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. 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 the original game, just with "We
Are Family" playing rather than "Celebration" for the song.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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!

|| 4. Song Guide ||
===============================================================================
An asterisk (*) next to the song name means it must be unlocked before you can
sing it. These songs are available only in Arcade Mode.
"Difficulty" is reflected by the number of microphones shown with the song
length and your High Score for the song in the song selection screen
"Top Score" is the maximum score you can get for the song (100% Great, 2x score
multiplier after 5th phrase in the Combo)
"Max Combo" is the highest combo you can achieve by getting all Good or Great
ratings for each phrase of the song
"Short Top" is the maximum score you can get for the short version of the song
"Short Max" is the highest combo you can achieve in the short version
Right now, the lyrics are straight from the instruction booklet [with the
exception of places where it says (Repeat Chorus)] but later I will be
splitting them up as they are in the game and I will note any discrepancies
I notice between the game itself and the booklet.
The short version of the song will be surrounded by brackets [] within the full
lyrics.

Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your blacktie affair
The last one to know
The last one to know
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
Yeah I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip down on the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
[Well I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high as that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
Yeah I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip down on the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
Yeah I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces

For a century of lonely nights

But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away

If you wanna be with me

You gotta make a big impression
Gotta like what you do

Gotta rub me the right way honey
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come come, come on and let me out

Just one more dance and then we're good to go

Hormones racing at the speed of light
But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight
