Okay, we all know that DDR has multiple things that are just fun to know about, so I thought it'd be cool to make a collection of them. Basically, list something in DDR that could be considered subliminal or cool to know. For example: In DDR, sometimes the announcer shouts UMA! UMA!! which I think means Unidentified Mysterious Animal? Just throw in some cool stuff like that. Brings out a whole 'nother side of DDR.

I'll throw in some stuff most of the veterans know about that not too many newcomers know.

- The background for Make A Jam features Konami's old logo.
- I'm sure everyone knows about "573" already.
- The Afronova background in 3rd Mix arcade machines is actually a photoshopped picture of Reese Witherspoon. (thanks to Ensyther for that one)
- In Make A Jam on Basic/Light, the first few steps consist of the d-pad portion of the old Konami code(up,up,down,down(repeated a few times), left, right, left right).
- Sana Molette ne Ente is about how Sana's boyfriend plays too much Beatmania.

Uh...that's all I remember for now. But there's plenty of little easter eggs in DDR that're from the old Mixes.

Stolen from Aaron in Japan:

-DDR EXTREME US and FUSION (and maybe even Festival) has the incorrect BPM displayed for Your Rain. It displays 84 BPM when it really plays at 94.
-Various CS games made after EXTREME AC secretly have Marvelous timing. When you step on a note on the step zone, watch the arrow flash. If it's white, it's Marvelous rated, even when you're not in, say, Nonstop Mode.
-The weird symbols in i feel's background is found in Implantation from Drummania.
-Background with sliohettes with microphones and people is something from beatmania.
-Highlighting PARANOiA Max (Dirty Mix) for awhile on DDREX CS JP will play a different remix of the song.
-Ecstasy uses sound clips from the Apollo moon landing.
-The disassembled DDR machine normally found in PARANOiA Survivor/Survivor Max was originally used as a placeholder for songs with incomplete bg movies in DDR EX AC test locations.
-Can't Take My Eyes Off You was supposed to be in 1st or 3rd mix.
-Doo-Be-Di-Boy (KCP Mix) and Ultra High-Heels were in the 5th Mix test location
-So Deep was in the Road of Slow test location machine.
-You can scroll to temporarily halt the timer in AC machines but it'll continue its countdown after 30 seconds of scrolling.
-So Deep was a 10-footer in MAX2 test locations.
-Bye Bye Baby Balloon was supposed to be in MAX US (y halo thar 6-second clip)
-The Infinite Prayer (floating flock style) music in Festival uses the Another version.
-AM-3P (303 Bass Mix) was going to have Oni steps.
-On 2nd Mix, if you landed on PARANOiA MAX (Dirty Mix) in Roulette, you play a different version of it, which is basically uses the original PARANOiA's steps.
-Ska a go go another Trick Doubles is the best song with the best steps ever

573? Isn't that like, Konami's Logo or something?

Also, I'll add the hidden robot voices in Legend of Max. There's quite a few, althought no one really knows what the last things they say are, the first are things like, "Reality." and "Revolt." I think at one point it says, "Oh my God..." Really long...but I'm not sure.

Actually if you say the numbers in Japanese, it sounds like Ko-nam-i. Or so I hear, I don't know Japanese yet.

5(go/ko), 7(na[na]), 3(katakana for "mi". This pronunciation is also used in various forms of counters).

The lyrics for The Legend of Max go something like this....(not sure its correct, but whatever) (things in bold are the words heard easily. The others, you need to slow down the song to hear)

Can you see
Enter the feeling
The Fly
Do you see your goal
Energy
Reality
Reality
Fear
Revolt
Do the right thing
Trust yourself and you'll know the way
Listen to yourself
You can do this You can!

I know this atleast happens in DDR Extreme, and I think there is also a secret ending in Max2, but in DDR Extreme, if you get OMES, you get the secret credits with a remix of Graduation.

Does Reese Witherspoon or whatever know about this mess? Why did konami change it?

Due to the adaptation of kanji, the Japanese have lots of ways to pronounce each of their numbers. Normally, 573 would be pronounced go-hyaku nana-juu san.

5 - go
7 - nana
3 - san, but can also be pronounced mittsu

Because of the various ways to say numbers, the Japanese will often find correspondencies between words and numbers.

go -> ko (voicing removed)
nana -> na (shortened)
mittsu -> mi (shortened)

And so the joke is 573 is pronounce Konami.

The same method can be applied to the song .59.

. - ten
5 - go
9 - kyuu or ku

Tengoku, meaning Heaven in Japanese.

(I may suck at DDR and ITG, but my Japanese makes up for it X-D )

Ooh, I can answer this one. The Japanese language has two counting systems, one of Japanese origin, which is older, and the other which has a Chinese influence. In the Japanese system, 1-10 is hitotsu, futatsu, mitsu, yotsu, itsutsu, mutsu, nanatsu, yatsu, kokonotsu, toh. In the Chinese-influenced one, it's ichi, ni, san, shi/yon, go, roku, shichi/nana, hachi, kyu, ju. The 573 comes from go-nana-mitsu. Cut off the second syllable from 7 and 3, and you have go-na-mi, which sounds similar to "Konami" and thus you have 573. Using the same method, you can also get 765 out of Namco, since Namco is spelled out "Na-mu-ko" in katakana.

Off-topic side note: The reason there are two different words for 4 is because "shi" can also mean "death" in Japanese. It's not the same character, but the pronunciation is the same. Thus, the numbers 4 is bad luck in Japan (as well as China and Korea). It's a deeply held superstition. In China, for example, you actually buy a cellphone number of your choosing. Number with many 4s in them are dirt cheap. Sony, a Japanese company, recently released a new Mp3 player called the NW-HD5. The previous model was the NW-HD3. They skipped 4 because of the superstition from what I've heard. I've also read that some buildings in Korea countries don't even have a 4th floor. o_O I've read that this has been changing, but there are still traces of it around, it seems. I'm not sure why there's a different word for 7, though.

EDIT: D'oh! tac-tics answered the question while I was typing mine up. x_x;

Hence why the TRICK Oni at the location tests had AM-3P (303 Bass Mix) with oni steps, I'm guessing?

I had always wondered about that.

No. The best easter egg in DDR Extreme is Aoi Shoudou's 1 step Oni Doubles biggrin.gif
