Sometime in December 2000, ParaParaParadise was released in Korea, under the title of ParaParaDancing. It is a peculiar release, mixing elements from both revisions of the original game and even from a then yet-to-come release.

Regional Differences

Menus

  • ParaParaDancing received an overhauled interface for the mode and song select screens. This interface would later be used in ParaParaParadise 1stMIX PLUS, released that same month.
Japan (v1.1) Korea
PppAC-playmode11.png PppAC-playmodeK.png
PppAC-musicsel11.png PppAC-musicselK.png
  • In ParaParaDancing, the main menu BGM starts playing in the Caution screen, instead of starting at the mode select screen like in the Japanese releases.

Songlist

  • The songs I WANNA DANCE and TORA TORA TORA are absent. Despite this, music select graphics for both songs can be found unused.
I WANNA DANCE PppAC-iwannadance.png
PppAC-iwannadanceS.png
TORA TORA TORA PppAC-toratoratora.png
PppAC-toratoratoraS.png
  • Six new licenses were added, all being Eurobeat remixes of Korean songs: Go H.O.T -super euro version-, Haengbog -super euro version-, Neoleul salanghae -super euro version-, Oh My Love -super euro version-, SARA -super euro version- and We are the Future -super euro version-.
  • The Konami original song Hold on me was replaced by a Korean version, titled Hold on me -KOREAN MIX-.
  • The original songs CAN'T STOP FALLIN' IN LOVE -super euro version- and DYNAMITE RAVE -super euro version- received ParaPara charts.
  • The EXPERT charts of the songs EUROBEAT and SPEEDWAY were rerated from 5 and 4 to 7 and 8, respectively.

Functions

  • ParaParaDancing contains eight sensors compared to ParaParaParadise's five. To make use of this functionality, a modifier was added in which the used sensors can be rotated. This feature is not present in ParaParaParadise 1stMIX PLUS.

Unused Graphics

Graphics for the ParaParaParadise v1.1 and ParaParaParadise 1stMIX PLUS songs can be found among the gameplay HUD and song select screen assets.

Additionally, inside folder KOREA/PLAY, in which are contained the gameplay HUD assets, a small banner for the licensed song Candy by H.O.T can be found. It is presumed this song was scrapped due to licensing issues, and was likely replaced by SARA -super euro version-.

Unused Charts

Among the game's notechart data, exist unused files, meant for songs not present in this game (all of which are identical to final v1.1), Another charts (all of which are identical to final 1stMIX PLUS), songs from ParaParaParadise v1.1 (all of which are identical to the final release of that game) and ParaParaParadise 1stMIX PLUS (some of which are different from the final product), along with ParaPara charts for the 6 Korean licenses (all of which consist of left and right notes every 8 measures). Only the 1stMIX PLUS charts will be documented below.

Spreadsheet guide:

  • SN - Same as final (or contains minor differences that don't affect the notes)
  • X - Different from final
  • P - Placeholder
  • 2-* - Duplicate chart, removed from final

Note: For the charts labeled as nearly or completely different for final, there will be a download link in its sections, featuring both the final and unused charts. The sync work is custom, and so are the difficulty ratings for the early charts.

Feeling of love -super euro version-

NORMAL

  • The early chart is much longer than the final, implying a different cut of the song was meant to be used. What is also noticeable is that the intro/outro note patterns are also different, and so are some sequences in the first verse.

The download below uses a custom audio cut, in order to "replicate" what could have been the extended version.
