Contents

Dance Dance Revolution A20 Plus is an expansion pack that adds 106 new songs, 19 new courses, and other content. It was released on July 1, 2020, for Japanese 20th Anniversary cabinets and on July 6, 2020, for cabinets using an upgrade kit.

Development

On July 4, 2018, Konami opened a Dance Dance Revolution Twitter account in preparation of the series' 20th anniversary, [1] which was celebrated on September 26, 2018. [2] Dance Dance Revolution 20th Anniversary was announced at JAEPO 2019 as a placeholder. The game was first announced on January 26, 2019, during the Dance Dance Revolution A grand final of The 8th KONAMI Arcade Championship finals. [3] [4]

Features

The game features the notable return of courses, which was removed in Dance Dance Revolution (2013) . There are two kinds of courses, only selectable on the first stage: Nonstop and Class. Unlike the previous main Dance Dance Revolution arcade games, courses are accessed from the song selection screen instead of a separate menu, similar to both Dancing Stage EuroMix games. Both Nonstop and Class play four songs back-to-back. All NONSTOP courses can be switched to CHALLENGE MODE if the LIFE GAUGE option is set to RISKY or LIFE4. Class, intended to measure the player's skill, places a stricter rules on the gameplay; the player cannot change Turn and Assist options and is forced to play on the "Grade" life gauge, which starts out full and depletes faster if it goes down. Players are given a martial arts-inspired "dan rank" certification based on the player's chosen course difficulty. Class is available for golden cabinets only and unavailable in Versus Play. With the installation of the blue interface, it's possible to switch languages in-game, including Japanese, English and Korean as options.

All 14 characters from Dance Dance Revolution A return in this game. Victory Concent is only available as a randomly selected character. Dark Alice, Dark Emi, Black Rinon and a 6th KAC costume for Yuni can be unlocked. Additionally, when playing the song Yuni's Nocturnal Days, Yuni wears her X2 costume and is automatically selected as a character.

The game introduces a new cabinet design based on the Dance Rush cabinet, but colored gold.

Events

Extra Stage

The Extra Stage system retains the star requirement introduced in Dance Dance Revolution X3 VS 2ndMix . The player is required to obtain 9 stars in a round to be allowed an extra song, the number of stars of which is determined by the player's grade. Extra Stages can only be obtained in Premium Mode. For players in Asia territories and North America, this requires "Premium Play" to be selected when the game starts. For players in Japan, Premium Play requires Konami's PASELI payment system.

Extra Exclusive

This folder is essentially a replacement for the traditional Extra Stage system of the previous games: the songs in this folder are marked in red and can only be played in Extra Stage.

Extra Savior Plus

Originally from Dance Dance Revolution A , Extra Savior, now renamed Extra Savior Plus, was added on July 16, 2020, and allows the player to unlock hidden songs by playing them in Extra Stage. These not only include new additions for this game, but also some hidden songs yet to be unlocked for the general public from previous games. This time around, EXTRA SAVIOR works more akin to EXTRA ATTACK from the 2014 game, where charts must be unlocked in order: BEGINNER (only in SINGLE and is unlocked by selecting song) → BASIC → DIFFICULT → EXPERT. Players will earn the same amount of unlock progress regardless of what difficulty is played during EXTRA STAGE. Unlocking a chart requires either clearing the song, or enough failed attempts to unlock it. EXPERT charts require two stage clears or equivalent progress from failed attempts. Using ASSIST options will lower clear progress.

Summer Dance Camp

The Summer Dance Camp event is a collaboration event between Dance Dance Revolution series and DANCERUSH STARDOM. Stamps can be earned by playing either Dance Dance Revolution A20 (Plus) or DANCERUSH STARDOM. Three stamps are offered once per day, one for the game being played and two for the opposite game. By collecting a certain number of stamps for a specific game, songs will be unlocked for the respective game. Part 1 was available from August 8, 2019, to September 30, 2019, and all songs are available by default in A20 PLUS. Part 2 started on July 7, 2020, and ended on September 7, 2020, and all songs are unlockables via EXTRA SAVIOR PLUS since March 8, 2021.

Release

20th Anniversary Edition (Gold)

Dance Dance Revolution A20 was released on golden cabinets on March 20, 2019, in Japan. [5] The release date was first confirmed by a flyer at a Japanese Round One Entertainment arcade on March 3, 2019. The flyer announced that the golden cabinets serve as a timed exclusive on these new cabinets, while upgrade kits released later. The game features revivals of classic licensed songs, NONSTOP and CLASS courses, and new Golden League events. [5] Legend Licenses, Golden League, and CLASS courses are available for golden cabinets only; however, the phase 11 of the Golden League cannot demoted all players due to COVID-19 outbreak. New cabinets feature a 55" monitor at 1080p; however, the game operates at 720p.

On May 15, 2019, Dance Dance Revolution A20 was imported in the United States at Round One. It ran on the Japanese software until September 24, 2019, when Round One implemented the localized software build in Dance Dance Revolution A20 cabs in the same month that Round One's competitor Dave & Buster's received the localization software build for its Dance Dance Revolution A cabs. [6] On May 29, 2019, Round One confirmed that all of its American locations will receive A20 in the form of imported golden cabinets. [7] This initially introduced the game to 32 locations at the time of release, most of which also feature a localized version of Dance Dance Revolution A . While players are free to select their own location on e-Amusement, the imported A20 cabinets are registered to the Osaka Prefecture in Japan, rather than the player's state. [8]

Upgrade Kits (Blue)

On June 2, 2019, Dave & Buster's vice president Kevin Bachus confirmed that Dance Dance Revolution A20 is receiving a localized software build in North America, which can be installed on existing white cabinets in Canada and the USA. Bachus also announced that his company is considering the purchase of new cabinets. [9] Software upgrades for the region were released on September 24, 2019, except for the state of Hawaii, which received a localized release on June 19, 2020. This North American release is unique for being a physical hardware upgrade kit, requiring a new license key and USB flash drive installation to upgrade the game software. This upgrade kit is only compatible with Dance Dance Revolution A cabinets, and the marquee from A remains unchanged. The Hawaiian and Asian song lists are identical, while continental North America features a smaller song list.

Upgrade kits for older cabinets were released on July 24, 2019, in Japan and Asia, except for South Korea, which received a localized release on August 1, 2019. [10] The game operates at 720p on both X and white cabinets, and at 480p on legacy cabinets.

It was released on July 1, 2020, to online 20th Anniversary Edition cabinets, and on July 6, 2020, to other A20 online cabinets. Konami marketed this release with a Twitter countdown teaser campaign from June 26 to 30, 2020. [11] It is the third Plus release in the Dance Dance Revolution series, following the releases of Dance Dance Revolution 3rdMix Plus on June 21, 2000, and 4thMix Plus on December 28, 2000. Compared to previous Plus releases, A20 Plus has a longer support cycle and a larger catalogue of new songs.

At launch, A20 Plus included 14 new songs and 4 new courses. On 20th Anniversary cabinets, this update refreshed the 11 Dan courses. It included songs on Difficult play, which is easier than Expert and Challenge play, for the first time in some Dan courses.

Dan Courses

Dan (段位認定, Dan Inintei, also known as CLASS) mode is a new feature in Dance Dance Revolution A20, similar to the Beatmania IIDX series and Dance Dance Revolution X's Dance Drill Course mode. They are a series of courses ranked so that each course is harder than the last. Unlike the Beatmania IIDX series though, the starting level in DanceDanceRevolution is 1st Dan (初段). Since July 25, 2019, Dan courses allow for short breaks in-between songs, referred to as "Break Time". Dan courses are exclusive for golden cabinets. Courses marked in bronze requires bronze class in the golden league, in silver requires silver class and in gold requires gold class.
