2. History

30/09/2005 - Submitted first draft of FAQ. Still missing a lot of info,
but will finish it in a week or two.

At this stage the FAQ is far from finished, but I feel there is more than
enough info here to get you started on the game.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3. General Info

Howdy. This is a menu FAQ for the Japanese version of Konami's DDR with Mario
for Gamecube. This is my first FAQ and it originally started as a side project
to learn Hiragana & Katakana before my copy of Jump Super Stars arrived. Now
I've played out Jump, I thought I should sit down for the afternoon & start
typing.

you have burned.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

7. Free Mode

Pick any song you like & shake your groove thang. Songs are unlocked as you
progress through the Story Mode and there are a few songs that are only
unlocked by buying them in the item shop (look for a pink box with a music
note in it).

> Yet to come.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

8. Mini-Game Mode

Play a mini-game! Mini-games are unlocked as you clear them in story mode.
There are a few that are unlocked by clearing story mode itself.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

> Use left & right to switch the difficulty level.

The information displayed is Grade (AA etc), Score (in blue) and
Max Combo (In red). It also shows an icon to denote the method
(dance mat / controller) used to achieve those results.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

11. Player Information Input Mode

> Yet to come.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

12. Option

Alter various game options. The first six options (from Sound to Help)
effect the game as a whole and can also be found in the Story Mode pause menu.
The last two options only effect Free Mode.

------------------------------------------------

On left side (in descending order)

------------------------------------------------
Sound > Stereo (red, default)
> Mono (blue)
Standard sound options.
------------------------------------------------
Voice > On (red, default)
> Off (blue)
Turn announcer on/off.
------------------------------------------------
Timing > 0 (default)
> Left to decrease
> Right to increase
Not really sure what this does yet. Guessing it is delay between when you
hit button/arrow & when that hit is registered on-screen.
------------------------------------------------
Measure > Free (red, default)
> Regulation (blue)
Again, not sure.
------------------------------------------------

On right side (in descending order)

------------------------------------------------

Ummm......

Switches off/on help screens (showing gimmicks before a stage starts etc.)
------------------------------------------------
Get Level > Level 1 (blue)
> Level 2 (orange, default)
> Level 3 (red)
> Level 4 (green)
Not sure. The colours correspond to the difficulty levels though.
------------------------------------------------
Game Over > Normal (red, default) - Game over screen when you perform badly.
> Until End (blue) - Game over screen at song end regardless of
performance.
------------------------------------------------
