Dancing Stage Fever (PlayStation)

Dancing Stage Fever
Developer: Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo Publisher: Konami Platform: PlayStation Released in EU: October 24, 2003 This game has unused modes / minigames. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused text.

One of two versions of Dancing Stage Fever. This version has less songs, and an interface mostly based on Dance Dance Revolution Extra Mix.

Unused Modes

Two unused game modes can be found unused in the game's data. Training Mode, which would allow the player to practice the songs' steps, and Edit Mode, which would allow the player to create their own steps for the songs available. Judging by their appearance, they seem to be leftovers from a previous Dancing Stage game, Dancing Stage: Party Edition, although they seem to differ slightly from their original counterparts. They can be seen by using the GameShark codes 300DDF00 00FF and 300DDF12 0008.

Training Mode

The only difference that is noticeable is the lack of the 6-Panel "Player" selection. Aside from that, the mode functions normally.

Edit Mode

Much like Training Mode, the 6-Panel selection is absent, but the mode still functions normally. Note that any edits created (and saved) in this mode cannot be played in the main game mode.

Unused Graphics

Training/Edit Mode Selectors

Normally unused selection graphics for the two aforementioned unused modes. They can be found within the main menu screen's VRAM data.

Unselected	Selected

Edit Chart Display

Unused graphics that would be displayed when a song had playable custom charts, present in the song selection screen's VRAM data.

With Text	Textless

Battle Chart Display

Unused graphics referencing a "battle" mode between two players, which is absent from this game. It is present in the VRAM data of the song selection screen...

...and in the gameplay screen.

Easy/Normal/Hard

Unused graphics for "Easy", "Normal" and "Hard" modes. They are present in the VRAM data of the song selection screen...

...and in the gameplay screen. Note that this variant, besides the palettes, seems to be a leftover from the arcade release of Dance Dance Revolution 3rdMIX.

6-Panel Mode References

Reference for the aforementioned 6-Panel mode can be found scattered through some of the game's screens, including the unused Edit Mode.

This one below is found in the records screen's VRAM data.

Another one can be found in the Edit Mode's "New Data" screen.

And lastly, another can be found in the Edit Mode's interface.
