Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Released last year in arcades and on the USA PS2,
the Japanese PS2 version of DDR SuperNOVA finally
makes it to market. The game sports a 70+ song list
with catchy tracks such as "Centerfold" from
Captain Jack, "Golden Sky" by SMILE.dk which
has a "Butterfly-esque" hook, "Modern Girl"
by Sheena Easton which gets cut off too soon, and "Girl
in a Day Dream" by Pandora. There's also a dance
mix version of "What a Wonderful World" from
Beatbox vs DJ Miko that's hot.
A new diversion in DDR SuperNOVA is the 2-Player Battle Mode where the
player challenges the COM or a second player in a
side by side competition. As you collect PERFECT and
GREAT rankings, a laser from the top of the screen
attacks your opponent by blinking out the cue arrows
at the top of the screen, speeding up arrows,
shuffling arrows around, and causing arrows to
stutter-step in tricky ways. The Diet Mode allows
players to enter their weight and track caloric
expenditure when dancing to songs. For beginners who
haven't the foggiest idea of how to play DDR, the
Tutorial Mode patiently guides dancers through the
basics of stepping, double-stepping, freezing, and
step sequencing.

Game Notes
» On the title screen, a guy yells out, "Dayance
Dayance Revolution!" while the DDR SuperNOVA logo
appears dead center and atom-like appendages appear
in the background with light coursing through them.
» Leave it alone and a "How to Play" demonstration
sequence is played which shows how to react to the
cues. On the left, arrows float upwards while a
virtual dancer does her best on the right side of
the screen. Leave it alone again and a bruva with a
big afro and gold shades hops and steps to a
sprightly song. He pumps his arms up a lot and kicks
it like Travolta.
» Press START and the following options pop up in
English:
Stellar Master Mode
Game Mode
Diet Mode
Advanced Mode
Training Mode
Edit Mode

» The Stellar Master Mode tutorial is somewhat
amusing to watch because the announcer speaks in
rapid-fire Japan-English to explain the method of
playing the game and uses English words like timing,
panel, jump, and step which are mixed in with the
Japanese speech. The game will show a demo first and
then you're prompted to follow the cues for single
steps, double steps, freeze steps, and step
sequences. If you do good, you'll get a "JUST!" to
notify you that you hit the cue on time.
» The three areas in Stellar Master Mode are
Popcorn, Glow, and Uguisu which each contain
different song selections.
» A total of 65 songs are available at the outset of
the game (spread across the different modes) but
additional tracks may be unlocked by meeting
conditions.
» In the Advanced Mode, players may play a BATTLE
Mode against a second player or CPU and a NON-STOP
mode where song after song is played in a steady
progression. In Diet Mode, you enter your weight and
kcal per day. After playing a song such as Golden
Sky in Difficult Mode, you'll burn up a whopping
7.775kcal.

» The
"billboard" for the Sheena Easton "Modern Girl" song
shows a woman's foot in a high heel that looks like
it's stepping out. But the lyrics in the song
clearly state, "But tonight I'm gonna stay at home
and watch my TV...."
» Levels of difficulty for each song are: Beginner,
Basic, Difficult, Expert, and Challenge.
» After finishing each song, you're ranked with a
letter grade and your steps are counted and
categorized into groups as follows:
MARVELOUS
PERFECT
GREAT
GOOD
ALMOST
BOO
O.K.
Your MAX COMBO is also tracked.
» In our opinion, the best video dancer is the
blonde in the blue-white striped shirt, red hot
pants, belt with a star buckle, and white stockings.
She moved the most convincingly. Sort of like a tall
Betty Boop.
» Words of encouragement from the announcer include
"Mahvelous," "You're no ordinary fellow,"
"Yes...Yes...YESSS," and "Grab My Heart."
» In Game Mode, you may play SINGLE on one DDR
controller, VERSUS against a second player on
his/her own controller, or DOUBLE where you master
and move across two dancing controllers. Difficulty
levels range from Easy, Medium to Hard. A tutorial
is available along with an ALL MUSIC mode.
» If you blow it, the word "Failed" slams across the
screen and the announcer sputters, "Wh-Wh-What?"
