1. INTRODUCTION
******************************************************************************
Hi! Welcome to my FAQ/Walkthrough for Roxor Games new hardcore dancing game:
In The Groove for the Playstation 2! Similar to Konami's famous Dance Dance
Revolution series, this dancing game uses the same kind of mechanics, brings
an entirely new list of songs into play, and extends the difficulty to
astronomical proportions.
******************************************************************************
2. FAQ
******************************************************************************
Q: What is In The Groove?
A: This is a new dancing game made by Texan company Roxor Games, published
by RedOctane.
Q: Isn't this just like Dance Dance Revolution?
A: Yeah, pretty much. A group of fans were sick of how the Dance Dance
Revolution series was put on indefinite hiatus in the arcades, and decided
to make a dancing game of their own along the same lines. The game was
developed around the existing DDR emulator for the PC called StepMania.
Q: Wow. This is an obvious rip-off. Can't Konami sue Roxor for this or
something?
A: Nope. Konami doesn't own the dance mechanics setup.
Q: But I heard about a lawsuit! What was it about?
A: The lawsuit was Konami suing Roxor because the arcade version of ITG
didn't have its own cabinet, so Roxor decided to use Konami's DDR cabinets,
without asking them. They were only burned on this recently. Anyway, the
lawsuit has yet to be resolved, but will probably end in settlement. At any
rate, the lawsuit has nothing to do with the console version of ITG, nor
the new arcade version, ITG2, which has its own cabinet.
Q: How many songs are in this game?
A: 76. 61 open by default, and 15 unlockable. The game has all 72 songs
from the arcade version of ITG, and four songs from the new ITG2.
Q: Hey! The lyrics you give don't match the lyrics in the game! What gives?
A: Several of the lyrics in certain songs were censored to keep the ESRB at
bay. I give you the original lyrics where I can.

game.
2 Player Mode: This is a 2-player mode where each player uses a pad.
Double Mode: This is a 1-player mode where the player uses both pads. Every

---
Pick A Tune
Use Left and Right to switch songs. Double tap Up or Down to change the
difficulty. Press X or Start to select.
Press Up, Down, Up, Down to bring up the Sort Menu, where you can change how
the song list is displayed.
While your selection's on a song, you'll see a little graphic for the name.
Below the picture, you'll see the artist name, the BPM for the song (which may
be dynamic), and the song's popularity. Below that will be the difficulty
set for the song. The higher the number, the harder the song is to play. In
the lower corners, you'll see stats for the song, including the current
difficulty, the number of steps, jumps, holds, mines, hands, and the best
record.
Difficulties:
Novice (NOV): All songs have a difficulty of 1. This is for those who've
never played a dance game before. However, I wouldn't play this for long if
you wish to get better.
Easy (ESY): Songs range from 2 to 6 in difficulty. This is pretty simple if
you're getting used to ITG.
Medium (MED): Most songs range from 4 to 8. Largely, you'll find that steps
reflect how the music goes, as opposed to just being on the beat.
Hard (HRD): Most songs range from 6 to 10. These are the tough ones where
they focus on two things: matching the song's notes exactly, and/or kicking
up the difficulty to give you pains.
Expert (EXP): Songs range from 9 to 13. Beyond Hard lies this mess. In
addition to massively difficult stepcharts, this difficulty also throws in
plenty of Hands and Mines, which fans of other dance games aren't very used
to.
Highlight RANDOM and the game will pick a song for you. You're not committed
to this song, mind you, but it's an option.
Pick CHANCE and the game will also pick a song for you, but you can't back
out on your choice. You can play songs you haven't yet unlocked through this.
Once you make your selection, you have the option of pressing START to
access the Modifiers, which are explained in the next section. Otherwise,
you'll continue right on to the song.
---
Get Your Groove On!
The main field consists of the arrows and the Targets, which is a line of
arrows on the screen. As the song plays, arrows will begin scrolling along
the screen. As the arrows reach the Targets, you need to step on those
arrows. If you see a long Hold Arrow, you need to step on that arrow and
hold it until the Hold Arrow ends (you don't need to remove your foot when
it ends, just stay on it until it ends, and move your foot at your leisure).
If two arrows appear at the same time, you need to step on both at the same
time. On some difficult tunes, you may have to step on three or four arrows
at the same time. For that, you'll need to use your hands, or potentially
some other appendage.
Also, on difficult songs, Mines may be thrown into the mix. Don't have
your foot on the arrow when mines come up or else your Life Meter will
decrease.
Above your Targets are the Percentage Score. The better you step, the
higher your score will be. Naturally, 100% is the maximum.
On the top of the screen is the Progress Bar, which fills as you go through
the song, so you know how much time you have left to finish it.
On the side of the screen is the Life Meter. It starts about half full. As
you step properly, it'll fill more. If you misstep or step on mines, your
Life Meter will start emptying. If it empties completely, the game will end
after you finish the song.
Also in the middle of the screen, you'll see words pop up as you step:
FANTASTIC: This is the perfectly exact step on the arrow. Combo continues,
the Life Meter increases, and you get the maximum possible score for that
step.
EXCELLENT: You stepped more or less precisely on the arrow. Combo continues,
the Life Meter increases, and you get a medium possible score for that
step.
GREAT: You just about stepped on the arrow. Combo continues, the Life Meter
increases, and you get a smaller possible score for the step.
DECENT: You're off on the step by a bit. Combo stops, but the dance meter
doesn't change. You get no score.
WAY OFF: You're off on the step by quite a bit. Combo stops, and your dance
meter decreases. You get no score.
MISS: You completely missed the step. Combo stops, and your dance meter
decreases. You get no score.
YEAH!: You stepped on the entire Hold Arrow. You get the normal maximum score
for a step.
BAD: You stepped off the Freeze Arrow before it ended. Combo continues, but
your Dance Meter will decrease. You get no points.
Also marked on the screen is your combo, which is how many FANTASTICS,
EXCELLENTS, and GREATS you have in a row. This combo carries across songs,
regardless of what mode you play.
---
Check Your Stats
Once you complete the song, you'll see a Stats screen giving you a letter
grade based on your Percentage Score. You'll also see your individual results
based on steps, jumps, holds, mines (scored for NOT hitting them), and hands.
Also, there's a chart that shows how your Life Meter looked throughout the
song. Your max combo for the song is marked in blue on that chart.
Each step is worth five points, and every hold is worth five extra points for
the hold part. The maximum score for each song is the total possible points.
Here's how each step breaks down:
FANTASTIC: +5
EXCELLENT: +4
GREAT: +2
DECENT: 0
WAY OFF: -6
MISS: -12
And for holds:
YEAH!: +5
BAD: 0
Each mine you hit docks you 6 points as well.
So, you'll be given a final percentage based on that point total, and given
a grade based on it. Here are the possible grades:
****: 100%
***: 99%
**: 98%
*: 96%
S+: 94%
S: 92%
S-: 89%
A+: 86%
A: 83%
A-: 80%
B+: 76%
B: 72%
B-: 68%
C+: 64%
C: 60%
C-: 55%
D: <55%
Thanks to ThunderBird for giving me these stats nice and quick-like.
At the end of your play, if you manage to average an S+ or better through all
the songs, you'll get a "bonus" ending, featuring pictures of the developers
and people who made the game possible.
===============
3D. Modifiers =
===============
One of ITG's main selling points over other dancing games is its vast
(and I mean VAST) set of arrow modifiers. Press START after you select your
song and you can access them.
Speed: Use this to adjust the speed of the arrows on-screen. Adjust this if
you need to speed up the arrows to space them out to be seen better. This
will not change the playback speed of the song, however.
x1 - Default scroll speed
x1.5 - 50% speed increase
x2 - Double speed
x2.5 - Speed boosted by 2.5 times
x3 - Triple speed
x4 - Quadruple speed
x5 - Quintuple speed
x6 - Sextuple speed
C# - These are speeds that set at a constant BPM#, and adjusts the song if
there are changes in tempo. Using these on a song that has BPM changes
or stops won't allow you to record high scores.
Perspective: This changes how the arrows come to the target in a 3D manner.
Overhead - Entirely 2D. The arrows start at the bottom and maintain the
same perspective. This is the default setting on DDR games.
Hallway - The default ITG perspective. Arrows start from some distance and
move up to the targets, as if you were tilted looking over the top of the
stepchart.
Distant - The perspective is tilted so that it's normal-sized at the bottom,
and further away at the top.
Incoming - The targets are a lot closer to the screen than at the bottom.
Space - The perspective is very low, starting big at the bottom, and quite
small at the top, like a Star Wars crawl.
Notes: This changes how your arrows look.
Metal - This is the default stylized ITG arrow.
Cell - This is a more solid-colored arrow without the extra lines in it.
Flat - These arrows are all the same color regardless of where they fall in
the rhythm.
Scroll: This changes how arrows scroll. Default has none turned on. You
can turn on any number you wish.
Reverse - Activating this will make the arrows all go from the top to the
bottom.
Split - Left and down arrows go up. Up and right arrows go down.
Alternate - Left and up arrows go up. Down and right arrows go down.
Cross - Left and right arrows go up. Up and down arrows go down.
Centered - The targets are placed in the center of the screen. How the
arrows move are based on which of the above mods you've selected.
Acceleration: Sudden speed changes while arrows move.
Accel - The arrows move faster as they approach the targets. Known as
"Boost" in DDR.
Decel - The arrows move slower as they approach the targets.
Wave - The arrows move in a constantly shifting pattern of speed, as if in
a wave.
Expand - The entire stepchart bounces around as if the speed mods were
constantly changing.
Boomerang - The arrows enter the screen from the side of the targets, pass
them, then "boomerang" back and go for the targets.
Effect: Other goofy effects.
Drift - The targets (and arrows) drift left and right as you play.
Dizzy - Arrows spin around individually as they scroll up.
Mini - Arrows are a lot smaller than they normally are.
Flip - Arrows and targets are flipped left to right. In other words, the
targets go right, up, down, left.
Tornado: Arrows travel up to the targets in a spiral pattern.
Float - The targets float up and down independent of each other.
Fade: Arrow visibility effects.
Fade In - Arrows appear only halfway up the screen. Also called "Sudden" in
DDR.
Fade Out - Arrows disappear halfway up the screen. Also called "Hidden" in
DDR.
Blink - Arrows appear and disappear as they scroll at various intervals.
Invisible - Arrows do not appear at all. Also called "Stealth" in DDR.
Handicap - Makes the song easier. With the exception of "Simple", using these
will not allow you to get high scores.
No Mines - All mines are removed.
No Holds - All holds will become normal arrows.
Simple - Removes all steps that aren't colored red (on the beat). Also known
as "Little" in DDR.
No Jumps - All jumps and hands are converted into single arrows.
No Hands - All hands are converted into jumps.
Turn: Adjusts the stepchart by changing arrows.
Mirror - Turns the stepchart 180 degrees. In other words, all ups are now
downs.
Left - Turns the stepchart 90 degrees to the left. In other words, all ups
are now lefts, and all lefts are downs.
Right - Turns the stepchart 90 degrees to the right. In other words, all ups
are now rights, and so on.
Random - All arrows of one type are changed to arrows of another type. For
instance, all ups can become downs, and all downs can become lefts. Also
known as "Shuffle" in DDR.
Blender - All individual arrows are given a new direction. For instance, one
up can become a down, but the next up could be a left.
Insert Steps: Adds arrows to the existing stepchart.
Stream - Adds eighth notes in between quarter notes, creating more streams.
Quick - Adds sixteenth notes in between eighth notes.
Skippy - Adds a sixteenth note before quarter notes, creating more gallops.
Echo - Adds an extra eighth note in the same direction after a quarter note,
making more taps. Will not allow you to recored high scores.
Wide - Adds random jumps, mostly of adjacent arrows (up and left, or up and
right).
Stomp - ALL non-hold steps will become jumps of up and down or left and
right.
Insert Other: Adds other effects to the stepchart. The first three will not
allow you to record high scores.
Planted - Converts some steps to holds, which will only require you to hold
one arrow at a time.
Floored - Converts some steps to holds, which will require you to hold up
to two arrows at a time.
Twister - Converts some steps to holds, which can require you to hold up to
three arrows at a time.
Hide: Removes some things from the screen.
Hide Targets - Removes the the targets from the screen, known as "Dark" in
DDR.
Hide Judgment - The combo counter and step judgment notifications are
removed.
Hide Background - The background video is blacked out.
Difficulty: Simply allows you another chance to change the difficulty.
===================================
3E. Dancing Tips for the Beginner =
===================================
KEEP PRACTICING!
So, you've just got into ITG, eh? Good for you! You've made a good choice
in music games, and will probably sweat off a lot of pounds! This game will
probably seem quite overwhelming to you at first, especially if you watch
people play it and watch them do difficult songs. Don't sweat it. You CAN be
as good as them with the proper practice and effort.
If you really want to get into this, definitely use the a dance pad. There's
no PS2 controller to use in the arcades, so learn the pad nice and early.
Most game stores have a few of these tucked away (possibly more, if
RedOctane's hyping this game like they should). If you're truly a beginner,
you may just want to start with a nice cheap pad. That way, if you find it's
not for you, you're not out a huge investment.
So, to begin, use the Tutorial the game provides you. It will walk you
through the basics and coach you to be a better dancer.
Despite the Tutorial, here are some tips I can give you as a beginner:
1. Get a good feeling for the beat. People who have performed with music have
an advantage. People in marching band have a serious advantage. ~_^ You'll
be stepping to the beat in these early stages, so get used to it now.
2. Now that you have the beat, you must "find the arrows". Yeah, sure. I
know they're right there in front of you, to your sides, and behind you, but
can you hit them without looking? Early on, you'll find that's your biggest
problem: taking a step and not landing on the arrow. If you have to look,
look, but that tactic won't last forever, so before a song takes off, take
some cursory steps to make sure you're hitting arrows.
3. Keep your center. I KNOW the Tutorial tells you immediately to get off the
center, but this game was made by hardcore players who don't remember being
bad at the game. Especially on cheap pads with no definition, you'll find
yourself often taking leave of the center of the pad as you continue stepping.
If there's a break in the song, look down to make sure you're in the center.
4. Use the balls of your feet. You may notice, after some days of a lot of
playing, that your ankles will start hurting. That's normal, and it's
happened to most everyone I know that DDRs. This is your feet telling you to
not step with your heels, but with the front of the foot. Get into that
habit.
5. Now that you have these basics, play Novice Mode and start tackling songs.
In particular, get used to the speed of the songs, as well as the speeding-up,
slowing-down, and stopping some songs do. When that just gets too easy, take
a deep breath and head into the real ITG world with Easy Mode. Try to keep
your songs at difficulties of three or below, but don't be afraid to venture
out into the great unknown.
=======================================
3F. Dancing Tips for the Intermediate =
=======================================
KEEP PRACTICING!
Well, you're definitely not a n00b anymore (pardon my French). You're at the
point where you wouldn't completely humiliate yourself at the arcades, but
you probably won't impress many people there. In fact, you may just bore them
with your simple steps. It's time to go to the next level.
At this point in your career, it's time to consider a new pad. For me, this
meant going to redoctane.com and ordering their standard soft pad. This pad
has a soft bottom which won't slip or bunch up as much. It's still not a
serious pad, but you could do worse with fifty bucks.
So, first tip is to KNOW THE SONGS. You don't necessarily need to memorize
the steps, but have a basic understanding of the song before you go into it.
Even memorize the music itself, the lyrics, etc. so you can whistle along.
Know where the tempo changes may occur, where stops are. Most importantly,
know where the songs musical notes occur in the melody, because these will
be mostly what you step. Practice Mode can help you here, immensly.
Now that we're heading into dangerous territory, there is one big rule that
I have to stress right away:
Remember how in the last part I told you to "find your center"? Well, you've
found it by now, so now it's time to GET OFF IT. That's a crutch that's
let you into the game, but it will hold you back later on. What you have to
learn is to return your feet to the center as rarely as possible, if at all.
Move your feet from one arrow to the next, and don't move them unless you have
an arrow to go to. This is probably the hardest thing you'll ever have to
learn as an ITG player. Once you've relinquished your grip on the center, you
only stand to improve up to the highest reaches of ITG-dom.
This actually leads to the other major point of going intermediate:
Eighth notes. Those are those blue-colored ones. You'll have to deal with
a lot of them, so learn to love them now. This is actually a good first step
to leaving the center, because you are absolutely required to step three or
more arrows in succession, and you'll have no time to return to the center at
all. Use groups of three eighth notes to figure how to properly move between
arrows; combinations such as up-left-down, where your right foot goes on up,
left foot goes on left, and your right foot is already carrying back towards
the down arrow, for example. Once you get strings of three down, you'll be
ready to tackle longer strings, of four, five, seven, even nine if they're
not too tangly.
So, for this end, you'll want to go for songs of four to six in difficulty, as
well as treading into the yellow (ick) waters of Medium Mode. Just about all
songs of this difficulty have at least several eighth notes to give you
practice. Take these opportunities to develop your step combinations for
your own style, so you'll be ready to use them when they appear again in
harder songs.
Also, it may behoove you to get into Fitness Mode and repeatedly hammer some
songs, particularly those of a brisk pace. This is a good first step to
building up all-important stamina.
===================================
3G. Dancing Tips for the Advanced =
===================================
KEEP PRACTICING!
All right. You're through messing around, and through getting condescending
looks from your peers at the arcade. It's time to show them what you can
really do and kick it up a notch or three.
If you're really serious now, it's once again time for a new pad. Although
7, 8, and even some 9's are possible on a soft, flimsy pad, you just won't get
the high scores you cherish. For this, I turned to RedOctane's Ignition 3.0.
It's also a soft pad, but the thick foam insert, soft gripping bottom, and
raised step platforms make it a good pad for aspiring champions, all for a
paltry 100 clams.
Of course, if you have the money to blow (approximately $300), you may want
to take it even further and buy the Cobalt Flux pad, which is a custom-made
hard metal pad. It's VERY resilient, and much like pads you'll see in the
arcades.
Anyway, pads aside, it's time to get down to business:
First, you better have mastered the stuff from the previous sections. I want
to be able to yell out a song title and for you to hum it right there so you
know what it sounds like. I don't wanna see your feet touch that center,
soldier, or you'll drop and give me fifty. At this point, you should also
have quick enough eye-foot coordination so that matching arrows on the screen
with proper steps is second-nature.
Now, for some new tactics:
Chaos. You'll soon find as you reach the higher levels, that not all arrows
are quarter notes and eighth notes. You'll find sixteenths, twelfths, and
thirty-second notes thrown in to mess you up. Very rarely will they be in
random. Almost always, they'll match up with how the song goes, so you'll
at least have that going for you. So, a thorough knowledge of the songs will
allow you to surmount this hurdle with little difficulty.
Taps. This is the name I like to give eighth notes all on the same arrow.
These are always a pain, because you have to train your foot to tap rapidly on
the same arrow for a possibly long time, and it can really wear you out.
There's no easy way to get around this, you just have to learn it as you go.
Gallops. This is the popular name for a series of steps that has two
sixteenth note steps together, then two sixteen notes of dead space, then two
note steps together, and so on. When you step these notes, you'll feel like
a horse gallopping, which derives the name. Oftentimes, these notes will be
strung so that the last note in one gallop is the first note of the next
gallop. To properly step these, leave your last-stepping foot in place, so
it'll be ready to step the next gallop while your other foot moves to the
next note. This leads to the final tactic.
Axis of Rotation or "crossovers". Contrary to popular belief, you do not have
to have your upper body directly facing the screen at all times. A very
important tactic for the toughest songs is turning your body so that making
truly difficult steps becomes easier. Using alternating feet on long series'
of eighth notes is far less taxing than taking two or more eighth notes with
one foot. The best way to start turning your body is with left-down-right
eighth note combos. Left foot on the left arrow, right foot on the down, and
turn so that your left foot hits the right arrow. It'll be very disorienting
at first, but the hard songs will really take it out of you if you don't
learn. After learning a basic turn, learn to maintain your body at a 90
degree angle to the screen for extended periods of time, and then taking it
further by rotating 180 degrees, or even 270 and 360, if you're brave enough
to take your eyes off the screen.
Hands and Mines. If you've played DDR all your life, this will be
completely new to you, but don't panic. For Hands, just be ready to flex
your legs into a squat so you can get close enough. Mines, naturally, are
just a simple matter of keeping your eyes open for them, and being able to
launch yourself off the pad if need be.
Finally, it's important to be in relatively good shape for this. You have to
have the proper stamina and leg strength to pull off the toughest ones,
because rather dexterous and tiring feats will be required of you, so keep
pounding at it, do hard songs repeatedly to build up strength, and push
yourself harder and harder to go all the way up to the great red Heavy
Mode, then on to Expert, if you dare.
And lastly, never tackle double digit songs without a good insurance plan
backing you up. ^_^
==============================
3H. Dancing Tips for Doubles =
==============================
KEEP PRACTICING!
Get ready to relearn ITG all over again as you branch out towards the second
pad.
First of all, it'd be best you get good pads for this. Soft flat mats are
just no good at all, since they'll slide apart and over each other. Even
Ignition Pads are tough for this, since they can move as well, unless you
can find some way to lash them together. The best, naturally, is the Cobalt
Flux dual setup, which you can connect.
Okay, you probably should begin your Doubles career after at least mastering
Standard on Single, but it's best on Heavy.
One of the greatest things to "unlearn" from Single Play is to be able to
move your entire body. When playing Single, you'll generally maintain your
upper body in one place spatially, but that definitely won't fly on Doubles.
Crossovers take on a whole new meaning when playing on higher levels on
Double Play. In a general sense, you'll be playing with your left foot on
the right arrow on the left pad, while your right foot will be on the left
arrow on the right pad. A lot of the stepcharts on Doubles are engineered so
you dance around that setup.
After that, it's all pretty much getting used to the new setup. Practice and
practice some more. Build up your stamina, learn how to read eight arrows,
and know where to step.

Play Notes: It's worth noting that every difficulty, except Novice, has
hands, so don't try this song unless you want to play with hands.
Hard Notes: There's a little bit of everything in this song. Actually, make
that a LOT of everything. Long streams, lots of hands, plenty of sixteenths,
and several crossovers. The second half of the songs contains plenty of
holds, as well as the usual mess.
Expert Notes: A lot more steps in this version. The hands and holds are about
the same, but there are a LOT more sixteenths and some thirty-seconds in the
stream sections.

syncopated notes. There are also plenty of jumps in the streams, and just a
few gallops. The streams have plenty of crossovers, too, so watch your
step.
Expert Notes: Mines are now thrown into the set. Streams now go into more
jumps. There are also several sixteenth clusters thrown in, but a great
amount.

liberally spread throughout these clusters, making them almost impossible
to read without using speed mods.

Lyrics:
Charlene, please take care, little sister of mine
Better stay off the drugs and the wine
Don't get lost in that dangerous scene
My sister Charlene
Stay out Charlene
Just beware of the dark side of town
That's where passion and sex tear you down
Where the people are greedy and mean
You'd better stay out Charlene
Charlene
Charlene
I saw you last night
In your fancy outfit
Eyeing the men in the dark streets
They touched your gorgeous body
With their greedy eyes
So please take care of yourself
Don't give away everything you own
'Cause no one will give you back
The innocence that you've lost
Charlene, please take care, little sister of mine
Better stay off the drugs and the wine
Don't get lost in that dangerous scene
My sister Charlene
Stay out Charlene
Just beware of the dark side of town
That's where passion and sex tear you down
Where the people are greedy and mean
You'd better stay out Charlene

Play Notes: The song mostly goes at 163, until about two-thirds of the way
through, where it stops on certain steps momentarily, and jumps to 279 for
about a second, just to throw you off. ^_^
Hard Notes: Long streams for this song, mostly, several of which crossover.
A few sixteenths, but nothing too draining. Just lots and lots of streams.
Expert Notes: Think of how difficult this song can potentially get with the
notes in the song, and you're pretty close to how bad it gets. The hands
get done early in the song, and the rest of the first half is tricky holds
and odd notes with sixteenths around them. Then, it gets ugly. Mines at
the stopping points, and before and after are giant sixteenth clusters, and
I mean GIANT. To its credit, the song doesn't spend its entire track trying
to tire you out, but it gets pretty bad.

periodically, but that's about it. No sixteenths. No real chaotic steps.
No jumps in the streams.
Expert Notes: First, there are mines. They're not too horribly placed,
except for the one over the stop. The streams have become a LOT longer, and
there are sixteenths thrown in, but their steps are relatively easy, for an
Expert song, anyway.

This goes on for some time, then stops, and goes back to the original
tempo once again.
Hard Notes: Lots of syncopation in this song. Mines are thrown in regularly
to keep you honest, but mostly during the first half. The hardest part is
just keeping up with the step density.
Expert Notes: Cripes. Remember what I said about "step density"? You'll
know the meaning looking at this chart. I can't conceive having the stamina
to tackle this one. Okay, the chart roughly follows the main rhythm,
sixteenths, thirty-seconds, and all. The mines start showing up near the
middle opposite jumps, so even if you're fudging the steps, the mines will
probably trip you up once you go for the jumps. They don't even give you
any relief in the slowdowns, throwing in SIXTY-FOURTHS, which, of course,
are just the same as thirty-seconds at normal speed, but that doesn't make
it any better. Any attempt at following this song will require lots of
work in Practice Mode.

Hard Notes: Stream-laden, with some syncopation with sixteenths, which follow
the rhythms, of course. Not much else to speak of.
Expert Notes: More streams, more sixteenths, as can be expected. The
syncopation has taken a backseat, here, to squash in more notes. There are
a few mines in the middle, but the most are at the end. It's just
psuedo-triplets, so that's a warning before you play the hopping game.

Lyrics:
Fly
Just fly away
Oh baby, you can never lose a missing heart
In your eyes I see the dark
Just fly away
In the land of loneliness
You're the victim of the night
Take the future of the past
Go to the other side
Aaaaahhhhh
Fly
Just fly away
Forever you will never need a helping hand
Simply say good bye and fly
Just fly away
Oh baby, you can never lose a missing heart
In your eyes I see the dark
Just fly away
Aaaaahhhh
Just fly away
Just fly away

Expert Notes: More sixteenths have been added, but the greatest problem is a
large amount of jumps that have been inserted into the streams. Concentrate
to power past them.

Lyrics:
Come fly with me
Come fly with me
Come fly with me
Free like a bird in the sky
(Come fly with me)
Finding your way to my heart
(Come fly with me)
Come fly with me!
Free like a bird in the sky
(Across the mountain, cross the forest, cross the seas)
Finding your way to my heart
(Find my body, find my soul, find your peace)
Come fly with me
Come fly with me
(Come fly with me)
Come fly with me
Come fly with me
(Across the mountain, cross the forest, cross the seas)

nothing too exciting.

Lyrics:
Baby, in this world in which we live
We must try and make things come together
And day by day, don't you know
I ain't ever gonna let you go
Reaching high, we'll raise our hands to heaven
By my side, just you and me
I want all the world to see
I never thought our love was meant to be
I'm flying high
On the wings of love
Never thought that this could be
The times we had in love will never remain
Because you mean more than words to me
And now that we found love
Let's reach up high
Together we'll touch the sky
Touch the sky
I'm flying high
On the wings of love
Never thought that this could be
The times we had in love will never remain
Because you mean more than words to me

Play Notes: The song starts at 92, goes to 184 for most of the song, then
caps off at 92.
Hard Notes: A relatively simple set (for an 8) focusing more around playing
off the speed than actual difficult steps. Streams, some gallops, and
several crossovers.
Expert Notes: Quite a few more sixteenths and longer streams. There are also
several jumps in the streams to kick up the pain factor. The mines shouldn't
be too too hard to avoid.

Play Notes: The song starts at 110, then goes up to 125 after four measures,
then gradually speeds up to about 154 over the course of several measures.
After a while of that, there's a stop at the 48th measure, the song kicks
in to about 169 up until the end where it drops down 115 to the end.
Hard Notes: Large, long, complicated streams, and sixteenths thrown in to
match the synth notes. Also, several jumps in streams in the first half.
Expert Notes: 898? Is that all you've got? Anyway, prepare for following
the synth notes to the letter, including the twenty-fourth steps all over
the place. There's also quite a minefield about a third of the way through
where you're stepping on left and right arrows, or there's a mine there.
Be careful at the stop, too, because it's a hold, and you'll miss it if you
take your foot off to avoid the mine too soon.

Expert Notes: Streams are kicked up a notch, but not too horrible. There are
several mines dotted about the chart, but they're not that hard to avoid.

often. There are also a ton of holds to make life miserable as you try to

Hard Notes: Streams and some sixteenths. Look for several jumps within the
streams or else you'll be tripped up. Watch at the end of the bridge for a
large amount of sixteenths, and at the end of the song.
Expert Notes: Most of this song is following the "buzzing" rhythm. If you're
not doing that, you're usually following the drumbeat. The large amount of
sixteenths at the end of the bridge and the end of the song are still there
and harder. There are also several mines in the reprise of the buzzing.
Hop completely off the pad.

Lyrics:
I asked you for your help
And you said no
That it wasn't in
Your job description
Then your cold eyes
They stared at me
And you said you can't
With conviction
I wish that you could see
Where your old ways
On the path
Of self destruction
I wish that were not
Afraid of me
Your power's not
A motivational account
I see through your cursing
And your hesitation
Caught within
Your golden reputation
That's okay (it's okay)
I'll get there anyway
Soooooooo
Don't lift a finger
Don't cause yourself a pain
Anything you do
Still my game
I'll leap those buildings
In a single bound
While you crash and burn
Shamed to the ground
Don't lift a finger
Don't cause yourself a pain (cause yourself a pain)
Anything you do
Still my game
I'll leap those buildings
In a single bound (in a single bound)
While you crash and burn
Shamed to the ground

Play Notes: About two thirds of the way through, the songs slows down to
half-speed. The speeding back up is rather obvious in the music.
Hard Notes: Pretty simple steps for the most part. Streams and several
sixteenths, which are probably what kick it up to an 8.
Expert Notes: Lots and lots of sixteenths. The beginning uses a lot of
jumps in the streams. Watch out for the mines spread about, and there are
a few hands, but they're played off holds, so they're pretty obvious. On
the slow-down the pattern is "three steps, three steps, five steps" with all
the arrows sandwiched together. As always, it's easier to see if you turn
the arrow speed up.

Kiss me Red
Kiss me Red and don't forget it
Kiss me Red all over
Be my lover
Kiss my lips
Kiss me with your cherry lips
Come and kiss me baby
Love can save me
Love can save me
Love can save me
She was wearing lipstick
Shining red
And brand new jewels to match
Moving to the rhythm
Dancing to her all-time favorite tunes
Two eyes staring at her face
Her heart beating in time
Setting the wheels in motion
A voice singing in her ear and he said
Kiss me Red
Kiss me Red and don't forget it
Kiss me Red all over
Be my lover
Kiss my lips
Kiss me with your cherry lips
Come and kiss me baby
Love can save me

Now, we come and make it in

Bikini lines and bedroom toys
Some for the girls some for the boys
Weather so hot I'm feeling bold
Won't be long before I lose the load
Who's that girl lookin' right at me
I think she know's I got the magic 3

Hard Notes: A few crossovers in the streams. Probably the most difficult
part is the main chorus, that throws sixteenths into the streams, but the
pattern repeats.
Expert Notes: The streams have become a little harder, and the amount of
sixteenths has been increased by a lot. Also, there are several jumps in
the streams to contend with. Beyond all that, of course, is all the mines.
You get several "walls" of mines in the song, requiring you not to be
stepping on any pads.

Talking about just you and me
Hey can't you see we'll never be free
It's more - it's more like us
That's a fact we can't discuss
We're dreaming of love and peace
But in the end we are on our knees
We think this life is fun
But we're like lemmings on the run
Ooh la dee da dee da dee da dum da dee da dum
We are the lemmings on the run

Let me be the one
To lift you right up off the ground

Imagine if you took a moment
Imagine what your life could be

Lyrics:
Have you ever smoked a big fat cuban cigar?
Have you ever hitched a ride on a shooting star?
Have you ever seen red, when it should've been yellow? (Woah-oh)
Have you ever been mellow? (mellow... mellow... mellow...)
[Come on!]
Have you ever seen a day that don't turn to night?
Have you ever been wrong when you thought you were right?
Has it ever been said, "You're a jolly good fellow?" (Woah-oh)
Have you ever been mellow? (mellow... mellow... mellow...)
[Yeah!]
On your marks, get set, ready, let's go
Listen up kids, I'm comin' with the flow
Comin' with the flavor, somethin' you can savor
Now I wanna see you on your best behavior
So throw your hands up. Come on, follow me
Jack's goin out to the old bank. Ricky
Ritalized geezer, what can I say
Walk with the ladies? No way
Now "bang, bang" goes the beat of the drum
Shake your bum, 'cause we just begun
Boom, boom. Get jiggy with me
I'm the UK's number four MC
Wham, bam. Catch me if you can
You want something to do with it? I know a man
He's called B.B. and he's up with some funk
Better riot. Your taxi will come
Have you ever smoked a big fat cuban cigar? [Yeah!]
Have you ever hitched a ride on a shooting star?
Have you ever seen red, when it should've been yellow? (Woah-oh)
Have you ever been mellow?
Have you ever seen a day that don't turn to night?
Have you ever been wrong when you thought you were right?
Has it ever been said, "You're a jolly good fellow?" (Woah-oh.)
Have you ever been mellow? (mellow... mellow... mellow...)
Let's go crazy!

Lyrics:
I jump on you, you jump on me
You push me out and even though you know
I love you I'd be inclined to slap you in the mouth
When I kiss your salty lips
You will feel a little crazy, but for me
I'll be famous on TV
Would it be my fault if I could turn you on?
Would I be so bad if I could turn you on?
When I kiss your mouth I want to taste it
Turn you upside down, don't want to waste it
(If I could turn you on...) (etc.)
Now, will it be my fault if
I take your love and throw it wide?
You might restrain me but could you really blame me?
Would it be my fault if I could turn you on?
Would I be so bad if I could turn you on?
When I kiss your mouth I want to taste it

Play Notes: The song goes to half-speed once the drums cut out, then goes back
to normal speed once the drums come back.
Hard Notes: Pretty simple cut. Streams are easy as pie. There are some off
steps throughout, and watch out for the sixteenth runs following the drums
near the end.
Expert Notes: Lots of sixteenths, now. Mines are scattered throughout, too.
Most of them are in the tempo change back to normal speed, and not in a
particularly difficult position. The end is a real pain, though: one big
ton of sixteenths.

Lyrics:
I don't know what you're looking for
You haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up and spread me all around
In the dust of the deed of time
And this is not a case of lust, you see
It's not a matter of you versus me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
But in the end it's always me alone
And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite
Losing my favourite game
And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
I've tried but you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
You're losing a saviour and a saint

Lyrics:
The world is full of mayhem
We're standing on a land mine
History is breaking
We live in interesting times
The 60's came and went and came
They're coming around again
They're calling out for peace and love and understanding
They're screaming in the cyber halls
Lashing on graffiti walls
Nobody wants to play with the insane man
NO ONE NATION
SEPARATION
ALL I'M SAYING
IS NO ONE NATION
Love you
Don't know what you're saying
The truth is hard to find here
It's very entertaining
But you're playing with my mind
Looks like Armageddon will be live on CNN
Yea we'll be watching it happen live on every station
South Park, Michael Moore, maybe have a better story
I'd laugh, but it's such a deadly situation
NO ONE NATION
SEPARATION
ALL I'M SAYING
IS NO ONE NATION
Don't need to start a war
We've started more than enough wars
Just take a look at the chalk marked floors
It's happening right outside my door
Keep getting entertained by the famed insane
Who push the blame
When they're all playing the same game
They just call it by a different name

Lyrics:
Dad's in the kitchen and mom's in New York
His wife's on the west coast and his girfriend's name is John
I'm more than a little bit maladjusted
Dad said I should
Try to love myself
Everything's normal
Everything's fine
Everything's normal
Everything's just the way it should be
I'm normal cause I'm all screwed up
But normal isn't normal as normal was
I'm more than a little bit maladjusted
I'm sorry don't bug me cause I'm dealing with my problems
I'm changing the channels sick of watching the news
A kid just blew himself up trying to prove
Something his god wouldn't backup a persecution crackpot
No wonder I'm so confused
Nobody was shocked when Billy did the cop
They just shoved him in the backseat and then they drove away
Everything's normal
Everything's fine
Everything's normal
Everything's just the way it should be
Just the way it should be
I'm normal cause I'm all screwed up
But normal isn't normal as normal was
I'm more than a little bit maladjusted
I'm sorry don't bug me cause I'm dealing with my problems
I'm normal cause I'm all screwed up
But normal isn't normal as normal was
And yes my attitude needs adjustment
I'm sorry don't bug me cause I'm dealing with my problems

Lyrics:
You say I never loved you
You say you never cried
Say that when I ran from you
It only hurt your pride
Begging for forgiveness
For a second chance
What I already took from you
I'm never giving back
It's a whisper, it's a secret
If you listen, I really mean it
I'm a martyr, a fortune cookie
If you listen, you can reach me
You're not worth the paper that you're printed on
Cover of a book that hides a sickness of the soul
I opened up my heart you took the weapons of control
Showed you myself and you used it against me
Well you thought I was the enemy
Thought I had control
Really I am apathy and
You will never know
What I'm really feeling
Depth of my despair
Took your soul and threw it out my conscious will to bear
It's a whisper, it's a secret
If you listen, I really mean it
I'm a martyr, a fortune cookie
If you listen, you can reach me
You're not worth the paper that you're printed on
Cover of a book that hides a sickness of the soul
I opened up my heart you took the weapons of control
Showed you myself and you used it against me
You're not worth the paper that you're printed on

If you know the dir of the nerdcore rhyme, you holla
I hit the L shift-O to the quote and then dollar
If you know the dir of the nerdcore rhyme, you holla
I hit the L shift-O to the quote and then dollar
If you know the dir of the nerdcore rhyme, you holla
Nerd-ho! Warm the mic up (yo)
We 'bout to strike up
This band of nebbishes
Who cultivate nebulous fetishes
The FPS, RPG or MMPOG
Any obsession to blather over by blog or BBS.
Step and possess, hone thy geekishness
Your frame rate and frags to date both impress
And yes, your affinity for a certain site of some amusement
A classically adorned parlor of fun
Where you let loose pent-up cent pieces to partake of flicker-dramas
Gets you branded a sniper bitch or rocket mama-humper
(Oh no!)
They said you're cheating
But with coins in hand you got more game than Wil Wheaton
When's this MC 'bout to get funny? I'm losing patience.
Wanna know how the pants contain one wang & two next stations
And a tandy hole, where he plays whack-a-mole with the toilet paper
Frontalot can rock the PA song at the lowest common denominator
Not as a hater of culture or lacker in class
But an expert at math
Accounting how the Penny Arcade 0wnz j00r aZz.
I hit the L shift-O to the quote and then dollar
If you know the dir of the nerdcore rhyme, you holla
I hit the L shift-O to the quote and then dollar
If you know the dir of the nerdcore rhyme, you holla
I hit the L shift-O to the quote and then dollar
If you know the dir of the nerdcore rhyme, you holla

Artist Notes: From his biography on his site (frontalot.com): MC Frontalot was
born Mervin Claudio Frontanand behind a Wankendorf schnitzel depository in
1973. The fronting has increased exponentially since. Sixteen years of rap
stardom, eighteen world tours, and forty-two platinum albums find MC
Frontalot threatening retirement. His legion of fans will sob quietly to
themselves. Take however much you want of that with a grain of salt.
Besides that, Frontalot is known as a "nerdcore" rapper. If you couldn't
tell from his lyrics, it means his lyrics appeal to the online/geek/nerd
community.

commentary website: "Penny Arcade" (penny-arcade.com)

I'm gonna find the hidden gate to level two
I'm looking up, looking up, looking at the top
The doors are closing, now there's only one thing to do
I've got to reach the gate before the game is over
I better stop and save, or use my muscle power
I fight the monsters with my supersonic wave
I send the zombies back into the grave
I fight the monsters with my supersonic wave
Prepare for action, get ready for the Game
I've gotta run, gotta run, from the rolling stone
I'm diving under the Temple of Doom
I have to jump, have to jump across the toxic swamp
The gate behind me's closed with a blazing boom
You've got to reach the gate, before the game is over
I better stop and save, or use your muscle power
I fight the monsters with my supersonic wave
I send the zombies back into the grave
I fight the monsters with my supersonic wave
Prepare for action, get ready for the Game
I fight the monsters with my supersonic wave
I send the zombies back into the grave
I fight the monsters with my supersonic wave
Prepare for action, get ready for the Game
I better stop and save
I better stop and save
The game is over

Lyrics:
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn (I'm already torn)
I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around
Like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well, you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Don't seem to care
What your heart is for
But, I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's whats going on,
Nothing's fine I'm torn
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn (I'm already torn)
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right, I'm torn
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Ohh
Oh yeah, oh yeah
'Cause I'm already torn
I'm already torn

Play Notes: The song starts at 98, and kicks up to 196 once the main
chorus comes in.
Hard Notes: Simple streams, offset by the high speed, but still, very simple.
Expert Notes: Streams are longer and more difficult, and there are several
jumps thrown in them. Also, watch for the mines early on.

Lyrics:
Baby only the strong would survive
Over mysteries of life
Only fantasy keeps you away
In the lonely fields of those broken shields
So keep on kicking
The bomb is ticking
Don't stop, don't be a runaway
Go for the fire
Baby are you tough enough
Just keep on living
And don't start giving
The devil good reasons
To get you in the seasons of heartbreak
Baby are you tough enough
(Baby are you tough enough)
Yeah, my skin is a dangerous place
Never trust my smiling face
With a touch I can change all your dreams
And my kiss can wake feelings you can't take
So keep on kicking
The bomb is ticking
Don't stop, don't be a runaway
Go for the fire
Baby are you tough enough
Just keep on living
And don't start giving
The devil good reasons
To get you in the seasons of heartbreak
Baby are you tough enough
Baby are you tough enough

HRD: 9 454 67 11
EXP: 11 628 32 6 32 4
Play Notes: The song is almost entirely 166 except for the end, where it
gradually slows down to 88 in the last couple of measures.
Hard Notes: Streams with quite a few crossovers, a gallops section about
twenty seconds in, and a few sixteenths.
Expert Notes: This is *probably* the easiest 11. Sure, the song is freakin'
hard, but the only truly difficult part is the long sixteenth stretch. Well,
apart from that, there's a long section where it's just on one or two arrows,
and others where it's just the left and right arrows. Take care on all the
holds that crop up, as well.

MED: 9 464 23 7 8
HRD: 10 608 64 5 46
EXP: 12 764 68 5 58
Play Notes: The song goes at 250 for the majority. Twice in the first
half of the song, it will slow down to 120 for a brief moment. Soon after,
it will gradually slow down to a full stop. Some time after that, it will
slow down to 112 for several seconds, then go back up to normal, but
gradually building in strength each measure until it gets up to 300, then
takes a big jump up to 600 for the rest of the song.
Hard Notes: Well, yeah, it's tough. Not only speed-wise, but the mines'll
get ya, too. The steps themselves aren't particularly complicated, though,
but you'll have more than your hands full just trying to keep up with the
song.
Expert Notes: Phew, is all. Lots and lots of mines, and lots and lots of
steps. Basically, it's a lot of long streams at high speeds. Again, the
steps themselves never get too difficult, except for the sixteenths, which
may be faster than man is capable, but what do I know. Soooo many mines,
though.

follows the rhythm and repeats itself many times. You'll get quite used to
it.
Expert Notes: Tons of sixteenths, like you expected anything else? It's
mostly made up of small clusters centered around the rhythm, as usual.

the lyrics.

Lyrics:
You got MC confusion? I'm Frontalot!
If I were MC Frontalittle I'd be telling you only ever what I'm not
But I am the most frontingest
Carving off the obfuscation, little something just
To confuse you with, and like a villain
I got conundrums, your empty head they gonna fill in
Still in effect, the mock you made?
My dexterity ain't 20 when the skills are displayed
S'allright I took it for a compliment
Shows you know nerdcore's extent
Which MC was that? I can't recollect
Heard him on the Internet, it was MC Front-a-something
But, I didn't hit save
Which MC was that? I couldn't say.
Maybe it was MC Matter-of-Fact
Got the authenteezy easy riding his act
Always speaking the truth, never fronts one bit
He and DJ So-Sincere don't quit
But, I think for some reason that it wasn't him
Wait was it was MC Out-on-a-limb?
With the very risky rapping, don't know what'll happen
To the time, a verbal contortionist
Squeezing tongue portions, sublime
On the mic 'cept for when the bough's breaking
Picked him out the line-up, mistaked him
Yo, it was definitely MC Wrong
Rocking jam after jam of inaccurate songs
Then again it coulda been MC Insight
Striking suckers stone blind with the lyrical light
Must confess, I'm hard pressed to be certain
Was it MC Hides-Behind-the-Curtain
Calling "pay no attention to man on the mic"
Must be a wizard when he rhymes so tight
You're having difficulty dredging out your brain: the fact
Of which MC was that?
Which MC was that? I can't recollect
Heard him on the Internet, it was MC Front-a-something
But, I didn't hit save
which MC was that? I couldn't say.
(I couldn't say)
Step up poindexter, act smarter than you are
About to pull the MC Name out the jar
And whoever guessed closest wins a nine-sided die
And a gift certificate to Fry's
Yo, the moniker is MC Frontalot
I got a +1 bag of nerdcore hiphop
And my mail list busted a hundred so I'm famous
It's unbelievable nobody know what my name is

Expert Notes: Watch for the hands and mines; they're all in easy-to-spot
points. The entire chart is more sixteenth heavy, and also quite jump
heavy, particularly in the parts where you're matching the rhythm. About
three-fourths in, the steps get quite complicated.

Something's going wrong
You're much too close
You're much too close to my heart
When I dance with you
It's like makin' love
It's like a shock in the dark
When you touch me
I can hear the music
I'm fallin' into the sky
When you kiss me
I can feel the music
And there's a pulse driving high
Why me

Why did you do it to me?
Hey, hey

I know there's no guarantee
Hey, hey, hey
Babe, why did you do it to me?
Why me
Dancin' through the night
I feel your skin
To fall in love's not a crime
Take me on a ride
To liberty
But, baby, please take the time
Why me

Why did you do it to me?
Hey, hey

but the slow speed makes them quite bearable. Just stay sharp on the
mines. They'll crawl ya.
Expert Notes: The beginning is easy enough, even with all the holds and
mines. Once you get to the middle is when things start getting ugly.
First, you have to demonstrate being able to do twelfths with one foot and
eighths with the other. After that, messy sixteenths all over the place,
then sixteenths and mines thrown together in a big mess.

Hard Notes: The main melody follows the steps fairly well. The rest is odd
steps on the off-melody sections and streams.
Expert Notes: A billion (well, 190) holds in this song, now. Most of them
are on the main rhythm, but they're everywhere. Not too many more steps,
though.

Hard Notes: Mostly streams with some sixteenths. Some crossovers. Several
mines dotted about, mostly hanging at the end of holds. Watch for off-beat
steps that follow the rhythm.
Expert Notes: Basically, just a bigger mess. Longer streams and plenty more
sixteenths. Watch for gallops and syncopation.

themselves aren't entirely difficult until there are sixteenths that lead
into jumps. The mines at the end spell "K". Cute.

avoid. The hands don't sneak up on you too quickly. Sure, there are more
and complicated steps, but you can handle it, right?

Play Notes: There's a short stop a third of the way into the song.
Hard Notes: Hard? You know it's hard. Like most fast songs, your greatest
enemy is the speed. At a slower tempo, the streams would be considered
pretty easy, as there are no crossovers, and no gallops or anything silly
like that. Just straight up streams of varying length and jumps thrown
around.
Expert Notes: This is it, folks. The king. The big number one. Like the
Hard steps, there are no sixteenths, no gallops. Nothing that will truly
try to trip you, allowing you to focus on the GIANT streams and awkward
stepping rhythms. There are also plenty of points where the jumps get
thrown into the streams. Of course, watch out for the mines, too.

Play Notes: There's a short start just before the melody really gets going.
Hard Notes: If you know this song, and I'm sure you do, you should have
little trouble figuring out how the steps are going to go. Sixteenths are
afoot, and a few mines, but nothing too troubling.
Expert Notes: The song shouldn't have been too hard, even with all the mines
and all the sixteenths, it wouldn't be even close to a 12 if it weren't for
all the sixteenths that lead right to jumps. I'll tell you one thing, no
horse is ever required to step like that.

open so you'll know where they show up.
Expert Notes: More of the same, really. MUCH more of the same, actually.
Sixteenths pop all around in this run. No hands and only two mines, but
you'll have your hands full enough trying to keep up with the steps.

Play Notes: There are four stops, two at the middle, and two at the end,
where there are orchestra hits.
Hard Notes: Your standard fare complicated song. Sixteenths thrown in to
follow the rhythm, and complicated streams. Nothing particularly
surprising.
Expert Notes: Many more sixteenths meant to follow the rhythms more closely.
On the first set of stops are holds that you have to hold through the
stop for them to count, but mind the mines thereafter. At the end of the
song, there are lots of mines, but NO STEPS until the last jump at the end.
Oh, and the mines spell out "ITG" at the end.

8. MARATHON MODE
******************************************************************************
Access this from the main menu and you'll be given an option of courses.
These courses can four or five songs, and each course has two difficulties:
Normal and Intense.
The course list displays the course names, then a graphic of the course in
the upper right. In the lower right is the songs that are on that course and
their difficulties. The course stats are in the lower corners as usual, with
an overall difficulty for the course displayed as well.
Courses are played with songs going one after the other. Depleting your life
means the song immediately ends, unlike normal game play. Course score is
based on percentage like always.
Some courses are marked by "MODS" in the graphic. This means there are
mods thrown into play during the course. Mods are applied at a certain time,
then disappear shortly afterwards, for the most part. A percentile applied
to the mod means it's only partial. For example, 50% Fade Out means that
arrows only half-disappear.
Extra Marathon Modifiers: These can be applied depending on the song and
course.
Beat - Arrows bounce left to right based on the beat of the song.
(UNLOCK #8: Play 80 Songs)
Bumpy - Arrows move towards and away from the screen, as if on a bumpy
track. (UNLOCK #4: Play 40 Songs)
Robot - A new note skin, which is all metallic gray.

In this mode, you begin by entering your weight and goal for your current
play, either time played or calories burned. After which, you can choose
play type, which can be you picking each individual songs, you picking
marathon courses, or having the songs completely random.
While you play, your calories will be tabulated instead of your score. You
cannot fail while playing this mode. You only finish playing once your goal
is met.
After you complete the goal, you'll get a workout evalution screen.

9B. Practice Mode =

Anyway, there are special controls for this mode while on the stepchart
screen.
Up or Down: Move up or down the song a single beat.
Hold R1 and Up or Down: Move up or down a measure.
Hold L1 and Up or Down: Move to the beginning or end of the song.
Circle: Play your current selection.
X: Play where your cursor is until the end.
Square: Make the current position one of the boundaries for the "selection".
SELECT: Shows help menu.

Play Current Beat to End: Play from wherever the cursor is in the song until
the end.
Playback Modifiers: Apply any of the game's modifiers to the song.
Playback Options: Turning on "Assist Tick" will activate a ticker for every

Always Special Ending
On the main menu press (on the directional pad):
Up, Up, Down, Down,
Left, Right, Left, Right
Gee, that's not familiar or anything. This gives you the "special" ending
every time you finish your play, not just if you score an S+ average or
higher.

own. You may not alter it in any way, even if you ask me first, and that
includes putting it in HTML format. Please don’t post this on your site
unless you have express consent by me. I’ve put a lot of time into this.
Give me some credit.

I'm not going to allow people with small personal sites to post this FAQ.
They may post the link on GameFAQs with all the DDREX guides, but, trying to
keep updates, well, updated, I'll only allow large committed sites that I
trust.
========================
11B. E-mail Guidelines =
========================
If you wish to e-mail me, be sure to follow these guidelines:
- Make ABSOLUTELY sure I haven't already answered your question in the guide.
- Make sure it has something to do with In The Groove. I don't want spam,
chain letters, offers for friendship. Don't bother me with info on other ITG
games, really. I keep my ear pretty close to the ground about such things,
and I'll probably know about it before you. Compliment me on the FAQ all you
want, though.
- Make sure you say "In The Groove" at one point in your e-mail. I have more
than one dancing games FAQ, and I can't always figure the question out without
specifying what game you're asking about.
- Asking how to beat a song will result in a deletion. There really are no
tips to offer for ITG'ing besides what I have in my section. It has to come
from your own skill and desire to pass.
- Spell correctly and use proper grammar, please. If I can't understand
your e-mail, it'll go to the junk pile.

11C. Credits =
==============

======================
11D. Version Updates =
======================
Version 0.8 - 06/18/2005 - All the default songs, and the game modes. More on
the way soon!
Version 1.0 - 06/21/2005 - All the songs info and all course info is up.

=====================
11E. The Final Word =
=====================
It's a good dancing game, period. This is hardly the debacle that MC Groovz
was. These guys definitely know what they're doing. There's still a sense
of unprofessionalism, but I found it easy to ignore. ^_^
I'm sure I've got some information wrong, so help me if you wish.
Take care and happy dancing!
