The world will never know how many aspiring preteen figure skaters this piece of shovelware masquerading as a rhythm game put off the sport forever.

The DS being the DS, it got a sequel (Diva Girls: Divas on Ice) and a Wii port anyway.

International	Japan

The Japanese version of the game features a completely different set of characters from the international version. The international version features Kelly, Alyssa, Madison, and Gabrielle, who also appear in the sequel Diva Girls: Divas on Ice. The Japanese version replaces the characters with the same quartet featured in (the non-European versions of) the otherwise-unrelated game Rockin' Pretty: Mahiru/Mai, Kanami/Kara, Mio, and Riko/Reena.

Aside from names and appearances, the Japanese version replaces each character's favorite color with their blood type. The birthdays are the same in both versions, but the Japanese version removes the corresponding zodiac signs.

International	Japan

The title screen was reworked to accommodate the aesthetics of the new Japanese logo and altered character designs.
