This guide is intended to give a rough idea of the various modes and songs in the PlayStation version of DDR 5th MIX, as well as a list of the secrets, song difficulty levels and other information regarding the game.

A dance mat can be purchased for use with the PlayStation games, but it's more fun to play in your local arcade. The concept is that you step on the arrows of the dance mat when the corresponding arrows displayed on- screen reach a grid at the top of the screen. Arrows scroll vertically up the screen and vary in speed depending upon the chosen song. There are a number of different songs to choose from, with each genre of music well represented. Half of the music is composed by Konami's internal sound teams, with the other half taken from Toshiba EMI's dance compilation series, Dancemania. DDR is now up to the 5th main instalment in the series, and is still on top form. Improvements to this version include a totally re-designed game interface, a new cast of characters, smooth graphics running at 60 frames per second as well as a totally new collection of songs. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> * 3 * ************* < SONG LIST > ************* PLEASE NOTE: The following songlist contains all of the songs confirmed for the PlayStation version so far.

The information will change once further details are released. Also, modes marked with an * will probably have to be unlocked. GAME MODE: This the regular game mode. This time around, there is no link mode meaning that you can select your edit data in the normal mode, without having to change to a different mode in order to play the original steps. The possible styles of play are: Single, Versus and Double Modes. DIET MODE: Enter your weight as well as the date, and the amount of weight you've lost will be calculated and recorded in your diet diary, which can be viewed in records mode. LESSON MODE: If you've never played before, this is where to go. There are three lessons, each with 8 sections. Once you complete the first 7 sections of a lesson, you must play a certain song. Completing a section is easy, just get as many perfects and greats as is possible. TRAINING MODE: This mode is useful if you're having trouble with a particular song. It is possible to slow songs down, have the game make a 'clap' sound whenever there's a note, beat or full bar. *CHALLENGE MODE: Are you the DDR king? Then prove it! In this mode you must complete a set of 50 challenges ranging from simply getting a full combo on an easy song to getting a perfect on the hardest edit data imaginable. Be warned: This mode can get very frustrating! *ENDLESS MODE: Summon all of your energy to play as many songs as you can non-stop. You can play as any character featured in the game, male or female, and there's an option to take a break every few songs. EDIT MODE: Tired of playing the same steps over and over? Edit mode allows you to create your own steps to any song in the game. You can then save your edit data to memory card and play it in the regular game mode or on the arcade version. To change edit mode into English language, simply choose 'option' then highlight the 4th word down and press either left or right on the directional pad. OPTION MODE: This mode allows you to configure the game settings such as game level, number of songs etc. It's all in English, so it's all pretty self explanatory. *GALLERY MODE: This mode contains a collection of extra background pictures which can be displayed during gameplay. Each background must be unlocked individually. DATA BANK MODE: Can't be bothered with edit mode? Well don't worry, Konami has kindly included an extra 260 sets of edit data for your playing pleasure. Simply download the selected data to memory card and it will be available for use in the regular game mode or even the arcade version of DDR 5th MIX. RECORDS MODE: Want to keep track of your high scores, or how much weight you've lost through diet mode? Well then, this mode's for you. ARCADE LINK: Are you a regular 5th MIX arcade player? If so, I highly recommend making a memory card file to take with you. With the arcade link data you can save your high scores from the arcade and view them at home, as well as your internet ranking top scores. NONSTOP ORDER: If your fed up of playing the same set of songs, nonstop order can be very handy. Choose which songs you want to play (up to 5), what levels they should be on and which variants will be used. Edit mode is also supported. INFORMATION: This mode does what is says, giving you information of which songs you've unlocked as well as details on the various features of the game (in Japanese). * 6 * ************** < CHARACTERS > ************** PLEASE NOTE: These are the characters from the arcade version of DDR 5th MIX.
