A fantastic collection of weird and wonderful Dance Dance Revolution finds. I've got weird art, old internet relics, and music no one listens to.

All my finds are sourced from random StepMania level packs.
Today I bring you a very Japanese song with what I can only describe as my cat Tosti going for the bread when I'm not looking. With pants on. Originally a level of the game Pop'n Music but brought to the #ddr pad. It's loud, it's fun, it's 2000s Konami. (Check comments for mediocre gameplay by me!)

Hey everyone! Took a vacation with the girlfriend but I'm back! And I'm back with the "Speed Push Game Machine." Do I know what this is? No. Aliexpress mystery.
But I will be doing a review of this as soon as my new phone comes in. (I could do it now but it'd be potato quality.) More posts to come!

So now that we know what Dance Maniax was, let's talk about this Judy Crystal number for the game that it not at all a blatant ripoff of the previously released DDR song Nori Nori Nori. Not that I'm complaining, a jam is a jam, but the first time I loaded this course up my ears were very confused.

Ever heard of Dance Maniax? Neither did I! But this 2001 Konami machine works with sensors you run your hands and feet through instead of a D-pad. I can only imagine how many toes of overly enthusiastic players this cabinet bruised over the decades. Definitely a bucket list game for me.

Also, right on, Smile.DK! Allowing their music on Youtube for anyone to use. That's great, man. Genuinely love that.

I love how Stepmania has brought songs from other rhythm games to the Dpad. Bonus points if it's a remix. And this is one of the best remixes I've come across. Remixed from the Beatmania 3rd MIX "Luv to me" this version sounds even better than the original to me. Deserves better artwork tho

Got a replacement pad. Giving this a proper review soon and compare it to the OG pad from the 2007. Even without usb access to the original, I've been playing that thing for 18 years and know exactly how it feels and plays.

SADNESS! This is my original mat from 2007!

Before AI could generate whatever slop visuals you wanted, there was photoshop and a will to make it happen. Combined with the style of digital clip art that was very popular in the 00's, you get this masterpiece to mismatch with 90s Eurodance. Nothing works yet it all makes sense. #DDR #StepMania

Ah, 2002. When wearing 5 tops at once was socially acceptable. It's also when BeatMania 7 came out. But this ain't BM! This is DDR baby! And in '09 someone made the track available to us D-pad stompers. Not sure why we're being stared at by a wall of hearts demanding us to "Be loviN", though...

What do we remember from 2006? If your mind didn't immediately go to poorly drawn Sonic OCs then you've lived a more productive life than I did. But today I bring you the glorious art of JD who scribbled this down in MS Paint 18 years ago as the background of his song "Megasonic." #DDR #Stepmania

The file that made me open this account. Look at him with his hands on the wrong sides of those cymbals. You go robo frog! Equally chaotic track linked in comments!
