"Notes Translated And Recieved From Aaroninjapan.com"

• Title Screen

- Opening Movie revived
- Machine code is GDJ (IIDX GOLD was GLD, SuperNOVA1 was FDH...)
- Version was J:A:A:2007032800

• e-amusement related

- Your DANCER NAME from e-amusement pass for SuperNOVA1 works on SuperNOVA2
- - (something about a clear mark?)
- There is a new record entry on the e-amusement card added called WORKOUT
- - Same as home versions diet mode
- - You can enter your weight and the game will show how many calories you've done
- - The weight is hidden and the game shows **** for the weight (on the first play, the game shows ooo.okg)
-- You can enter whatever weight; you can enter 0000.

• Select A Style

- It tells you how many credits are required for selecting some modes.
- There are 6 modes: Tutorial, Rockle?, Standard, Battle, Nonstop and Challenge modes.
- - You cannot select Standard or Battle mode just yet. (Under Construction)
- - Tutorial says "Preferred for beginners", Challenge says "Preferred for high-rank players" with corresponding icons on the screen.
- Battle mode is enabled when there is only 1 player
- - You can battle with the CPU. You may be allowed to select 5 levels.

• Music Select

- Cursor moving sound effect changed. It's not as annoying as before.
- Category sort revived
- - Two folders: SuperNOVA2 and SuperNOVA.
- - There are about 300 songs in the SuperNOVA folder but you cannot select it yet.
- Some sorting modes have been added
- - Series title (DDR EXTREME's Category Sort), ABC, BPM, Artist Name, Difficulty, Dance level, TOP30(MyBEST), TOP30(Machine), TOP30(e-AMUSEMENT)
- - When you press left and right together, a SORT menu pops up on the left. When you select a sort, it is a bit confusing as when you select it, the sound effect played is exactly the same as the sound effect when you pick a song to play!
- Groove Radar values have expanded
- - FAXX or CHAOS now appears more hard on the groove radar than SuperNOVA1
- Clear Lamp function added
- - Like IIDX, when you clear a song, a light by the side of the song will be lit (1P: Blue 2P: Red)
- Full Combo Mark
- - The circle effect around the grade for full combo is shown everywhere including the MUSIC SELECT screen, etc.
- You can see the level of songs other than the song that is currently under the cursor User Image (see the gray blocks?)
- Roulette is gone
- When accessing the OPTIONs you no longer have to hold it 100% of the time (Like DDR EXTREME)
- Option cursor movement sound effect has changed
- There is an option named SPECIAL
- - You cannot change this option from NORMAL at the moment

• In Play ~ Result

- Dancer's cut-in effect appears while playing
- - It happens at 20, 50, 100, 150...
- - It appears on the opposite side while playing SINGLE, the middle while VERSUS, doesn't appear while during DOUBLE
- - It will not happen if the background has no dancers (i.e. during a background movie)
- - When there are two dancers, one will appear at the top and one at the bottom
- In BATTLE mode, the design of the frame while in play is like the design of DDR EXTREME's frame
- N.G. is shown in the result screen
- The maximum score is 1,000,000; the scoring method has changed
- - The score is in 100s, there is never a digit that is non-zero in the tens and ones column.
- - Dance level AA appears after you get 950,000 points.

• Extra Stage

- Sounds like Raspberry Heart
- Conditions for unlocking Extra/One More Extra is the same as SuperNOVA1
- Old songs don't appear during Extra Stage (? unconfirmed)
- Extra/One More Extra forced options can be changed by the way you select the song with the button
- - The options are changed with the way you press the button but conditions are unknown
- - Extra's options include "x1.5 REVERSE RAINBOW" or "REVERSE BOOST RAINBOW" or "REVERSE SUDDEN RAINBOW"
- - One More Extra include "None" or "REVERSE DARK"

• Ending

- Before ejecting the e-AMUSEMENT card, it displays how many calories you used and how many ENJOY POINTs you got
- This will cause ENJOY LEVEL to go up (The details about ENJOY POINTs is unknown at this time)
- "My Groove Radar" is shown along with the dance rank you gained this session.
- Lastly, a picture with the message saying "Hope you enjoy the final version" is shown.
- Normally, Afro is shown; but if you get up to One More Extra Stage, Yuni is shown.

• Other Notes

- There is possibility of location tests else where (in Japan) as "TOKYO DISTRICT LOCATION TEST" is written on the notebook
- The address of the web questionnaire is written on the notebook
- The timing of SuperNOVA2 is a bit late but it also depends on a song-to-song basis
- The revival of ALL SuperNOVA1 songs seems to have taken place, excluding Beautiful Life.
