AC DDR 1st IR

DanceDanceRevolution Internet Ranking Version

Release Information

• Release date: November 18th, 1998

General Information

• An enhanced version of the original DanceDanceRevolution, with features two new songs, as well as graphic and difficulty changes.
• DanceDanceRevolution Internet Ranking Version is also known as "version 1.5", and the original as "version 1.0".
  • From DanceDanceRevolution X, both versions are combined into a single folder, labeled DDR 1st.
• The VERSUS play mode was added, which requires a code to activate.
• The MANIAC difficulty was added, though it is only available in SINGLE and COUPLE modes. ANOTHER charts were added to DOUBLE mode as well.
  • The gate transition effect becomes red when playing on MANIAC charts, and dark blue when playing on Double ANOTHER.
• The difficulty scale was expanded to 8, which is labeled as "EXORBITANT". All other difficulty labels were also changed, and would stay the same (with the addition of foot level 9 CATASTROPHIC) through DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX PLUS.
  • SIMPLE (1 foot), MODERATE (2 foot), ORDINARY (3 foot), SUPERIOR (4 foot), MARVELOUS (5 foot), GENUINE (6 foot), PARAMOUNT (7 foot)
• The interface fonts' colors were shuffled around. For example, the score is now displayed in red instead of blue.
• Successfully hit arrows disappear and display a flash on the receptors. The original game made no visual distinction between hit and missed arrows.
• Internet Ranking codes are displayed after your game to submit your high scores online.
• Uses the 1998-2003 KONAMI logo, in contrast to the original release, which uses the 1986-1998 logo.
• All songs save for KUNG FU FIGHTING received new backgrounds.
• MY FIRE is no longer a FINAL STAGE song.
• Total songs: 11

EXTRA STAGE

The EXTRA STAGE system was slightly modified from its original incarnation: ANOTHER Single Play now grants a song MANIAC and BASIC Double Play gives a song on ANOTHER to play. The requirements are the same as the original game, except that TRIP MACHINE (instead of MY FIRE) must be the FINAL STAGE song chosen for NORMAL mode. For HARD mode, either TRIP MACHINE or PARANOiA must be selected as the FINAL STAGE song.
