Unused Announcer Dialogue

This is a sub-page of Dance Dance Revolution (Wii).

To do:

There may still be some unused audio that isn't listed here, specifically announcer dialogue relating to multiplayer.

The file sound/DDRHP4_SOUND.brsar, the game's main sound repository, contains the all of the announcer dialogue heard in-game. It also contains all of the announcer dialogue not heard in-game, and there is more that went completely unused than there is heard in the final. Most of what's listed here ranges from obvious placeholder lines and leftovers that the player was never going to hear anyways, to lines that mention things that might have been included but ended up scrapped.

Unused Announcer Dialogue#

Unused voice lines intended for the "Select Dance" screen.

Voice line that would've shown up when about to exit a mode, but went ultimately went unused.

Sound	Transcription
	Battle Style.
	Double Style.
	Multi Style.
	Single Style.
	Versus Style.

BNK_VO_INTROGENELIC

Two voice lines related to records. It's unknown what these would've been used for.

BNK_VO_INGAMECOMBO
While these do trigger if you play a song with enough notes, the highest charting song in the game only has 573 notes, making them impossible to hear in-game. These can be heard in Dance Dance Revolution II (or at least theoretically considering how impossibly difficult those charts are), as that game has charts with a high enough note count.

Sound	Transcription
	600 combos!
	700 combos!
	800 combos!
	900 combos!
	1000 combos!
	So many combos!
	I've quit counting!

Leftover Announcer Dialogue#

This game has two announcers, one of which being the same as the first two Dance Dance Revolution games on the Wii, with the other being the same as the third entry. Since much of the dialogue got ported over, as well as the game being based heavily on Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 3, a good chunk of it never gets used.

Leftover Tournament Mode Lines#

A good portion of the lines leftover from Hottest Party 3 are lines related to the Tournament Mode in that game. The reason why these specifically were carried over is a mystery, as Dance Dance Revolution (2010) not only has nothing like Tournament Mode, it completely scrapped any gameplay progression like it in favor of a points based system.

BNK_VO_TOUREXP
Some leftover dialogue from the character DJ (voiced by the announcer) teaching the player how the tournament works.

Sound	Transcription
	Hey! So you are going to enter the Dance Dance Revolution dance tournament. Well, I bet you'll get pretty far. Me? I'm DJ, the winner of the last tournament. I can give you a quick rundown.
	Alright. This tournament is acknowledged as the top class tournament in the world. Not everybody can simply enter. You have to qualify in the regional tournament to get your ticket to the nationals. Hey, keep your head up! I'll give you a couple pointers.
	The dance tournament is a series of dance battles between the participants. The finals will consist of a set of songs determined for you, that you would have to improvise to. Until the semi-finals, you and your rivals will both choose songs that you will dance to. So, until the tournament, you can practice the songs that you are good at, or train yourself so that you can dance whatever song that has been chosen for you.
	You're already getting pumped up, huh? I'll keep a lookout for you so that you can win.

	Alright, this competition is top-class. Not just anybody can get in. Only winners from the regionals qualify, but don't worry! I'll give you some advice.
	In dance battles, dancers pick songs until the semi-finals, and songs in the finals are picked for you. So, practice to your favorite songs, and learn how to ad-lib some moves!
	Oh yeah, I can feel the excitement building up now! I'll be rooting for you from the sidelines!
