What's the point of this FAQ? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Well. I had nothing better to do, and I like this game~ Go figure. This covers what this game is about, and some tips on how you can pass some songs, with a bit more of ease. This is more focus of the game itself, not so much on ParaPara dancing aspect. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 2. What the heck is "Para Para Paradise?" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Para Para Paradise is a game by Konami, which takes a specific popular dance called "ParaPara" in Japan, and turns it into a game. Although some people think it's restricting, it can also be fun, as the game uses infrared sensors instead of a dance pad. Although there is a ParaParaParadise instructional video, this game is different from the video. Instead of just copying the videoed routines, you not only can do them yourself with the sensors going, but you can also "freestyle," and make up your own routines with different sets of arrows (with different difficulties) as well! Instead of using your feet to play, this game mainly focues on using your hands, gestures, movements, swings, what-nots. Basically, instead of using your lower body/legs like in DDR, you'll be using your upper body/hands and arms instead. Very minimal lower body movement will be used (and for the most part will not even be necessary). 2a. What is "Para Para?" ParaPara is a popular dance in Japan, that in essence consists of using your hands and arms to dance to the music. There are usually routines for a great deal of songs out there. The music is usually Euro style, and the routines are usually created by ParaPara groups (and most songs have one set routines). Different groups may create variations, but for the most part, the routines are all the same. The one misconception about ParaPara is that it's ONLY for girls or it was CREATED for girls, or at least that ONLY girls do it. However, there are plenty ofguys in Japan that do this too (and they're not weird or anything like that). There are even ParaPara clubs in Japan where guys and girls do this sort of thing. It's almost equivalent to glow sticks and raving in America... There are also "ParaPara", er, masters so to speak, who usually set the standard, or at least represent the best of ParaPara dancing. If you watch the Movies, you can see one example of one of the best groups in Japan (they're called the "ParaPara All-Stars"). 2b. What's the differences between PPP and DDR? Mainly, the fact that you use your hands instead of feet and knees to play. The game runs PURELY on infrared sensors instead of rubber pressure sensors and pads. While you can use your feet, the game wasn't meant to using your legs, head, butt, whatever body part, unless you're totally messing around. It's also nowhere as physically strenuous as DDR either. The game is also 1 player only in the arcade. The interface is much different. One REALLY big difference is that the game uses FIVE arrows instead of FOUR. See How to Play. 2c. Hooked on Phonics (pronounciations) So how DO you say "Para Para"? Americans say it "Pair-Ah Pair-Ah" Japanese say it "Pah-Ra Pah-Ra" It's spelled in Japanese "Pa-Ra-Pa-Ra" I don't think there's a real right or wrong, although I've heard it argued that Para Para originated in Japan, thus should be pronounced as from such. AvexTrax can be pronouced "ah-VEX-trax" or "A-vex-trax" The Boom Boom Fire guy says "ah-VEX" and the PPP guy says "A-vex." I don't know...pretty mind-blowing stuff here... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 3. How to play -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The main point of the game: If you have the ParaPara controller, wave your hand (or whatever body part) over the corresponding sensor when the scrolling arrow passes right over the fixed arrows on top of the screen, like DDR. UNLIKE DDR however, there are also "hold arrows" (green/white/blue arrows with a line connecting with another arrow). When you approach these arrows, you must hold your, uh, body part over the corresponding sensor until the "hold arrow" is completed. Think of the "hold arrow" as a really long arrow that instead of just simply waving your hand over the sensor, you have to hold your hand over the sensor until the long line/arrow is gone. This is slightly flawed however, since you can also have all sensors (or even just one sensor) continually "activated" by holding your hand (or whatever) over the sensoring while a normal arrow passes over the fixed arrow, and you'll still get a "GOOD" rating, and build your combo count. If you're using a Dual Shock/DS2, hit the stick in the corresponding direction at the right time, like the sensors. Unlike the sensors, you cannot just simply hold that direction, and it will count the direction as a "GOOD." When you enter Game Mode, you choose which type of game mode you want to play: Single, Versus, or Double. If you want to play Nonstop or edit data, hit right on the panel arrow twice, then choose the game type. Note, you CANNOT change to Versus mode in the middle of a Single mode game. Set up of the arrows: The arcade's sensors are set at a SEMI-CIRCLE, two on the side of you, two on and angle, both about 45 degrees, and one sensor right in front of you. For the home sensors, there is an included "template" paper so you can put the sensors on top of the paper in the specified areas, so that the sensor setup is like the arcade. The arrows: How I'm going to refer to the arrows (to avoid further confusion)- Scrolling arrows- Normal arrows that scroll from the bottom of the screen to the top. These arrows tell you which sensor(s) you need to hit. Hold arrows- The blue/green/white arrows that look like normal scrolling arrows, but they have a line (which can vary from REALLY short to REALLY long) under it, and at the end of it is connected to another arrows, which indicates the end of the hold. Fixed arrows- The arrows on top of the screen that never move. They are dimmed out, and stay at the top of the screen at all times during the song. Basically, the point of the game is to watch which scrolling/hold arrows flows up the screen. If you get a scrolling arrow, right when the arrow passes over the fixed arrow, you activate the sensor (by waving a hand or whatever) over the corresponding sensor. If you get a Hold arrow, you hold your hand or whatever body part over the corresponding sensor until the line disappears. If your hand or whatever body part leaves the sensor, or somehow the sensor is deactivated, then it will be counted as a MISS, even if you try to hold you hand over the sensor again. 3a. Judging and scoring At the end of your song, the game will rate you according to how well you did on the song. You'll be given a "score card" of how well you did, how many Greats!, Goods, Boo/Misses, and how high your combo was. It will also tell you if you even passed the song, and how high your combo was. Rating: On the top of the screen during gameplay, you'll have colored gauge. This is your Dance Gauge, almost the same as DDR, except now it's numbered by % also. You start with 30%, and you NEED AT LEAST 70% full to clear a song. Everytime an arrow passes, you'll be judged on how accurately you activated the sensor/how accurate you hit the arrow(s). -If you've hit it dead on, you'll get Great! -If you hit it a bit off, you'll get Good! -If you hit it more than 1/8 of a beat off, you'll get Bad and you'll lose a few points on your dance gauge. -If you miss completely, you'll get a Miss, and you'll lose a couple points in your Dance Gauge. Scoring: In general, the higher your rating (Great! or Good), the more points you earn. Hence, try to get more Greats! The songs are out of 100000 points, if you SSS a song (get ALL Greats), you'll earn the max 100000 points. Judgement: At the end of your song, you get a letter grade for your performance. The higher combos and higher scores you earn, the higher the grade. Also, it reflects how high of a combo you have ratio-wise to how high of a combo that is possible. For example, if song A is 210-combo maximum, and song B is 110-combo maximum, and you earn a 100-combo on both songs, you'll get a lower grade with song A, but a very high grade with song B. The highest rating is S. Your grade is also reflected by how much points you have on your dance gauge...usually. NOTE: YOU CAN STILL FAIL A SONG, EVEN THOUGH YOUR GRADE IS, FOR EXAMPLE, AN S. YOU NEED TO FINISH THE SONG WITH AT LEAST 70% OF YOUR GAUGE LEFT! Grades are as follows: SSS-All Greats! Full combo. SS-Lots of Greats, couple goods, full combo S-Very good performance, few misses. A-OK performance, few misses. B-Decent, pretty high Good count if anything. C-Average, very high Good count usually. D-Bad, usually mostly Good and Bad/Misses. F-Fail. Almost all Misses. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 4. Modes of play -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- When you start up the game, and skip through the intro and stuff, here are the choices you'll see: 1P Start 2P Start 1P Endless 2P Endless Free Training Option Records Memory Card (PS2) --- 1P Start --- -Starts the game in arcade mode, you will have 3 songs to choose from in a particular chosen. You cannot switch difficulties after the first song is played. --- 2P Start --- -A PS2 original mode, where the screen allows 2 players two play. You can mix and match either two PPP controllers, 2 DS/2 controllers, or one PPP controller and one DS/2 controller. --- 1P Endless --- -You choose what kind of difficulty/difficulties you want to play, the game will randomize songs, and continually throw songs until either you fail or complete a certain amount of songs/achieve the maximum score. --- 2P Endless --- -Same as 1P endless, except with two players, so you can both die together of exhaustion. --- Free --- -Play any song that you want and any difficulty. You can also choose: Difficulty modes How many nonstop songs per MD Forced Game Over --- Training --- -For Para Para or movie mode, you will play with a video clip from one of the PPP videoes featuring the Para Para All-Stars. -You can slow down a song by hitting "down" on the digital pad of your DS2 and "up" to speed it back up. -You can skip to different segments of a song by pressing "left" or "right" on your digital pad on your DS controller. Songs are divided into segments, indicated by letters, which can range A-E, sometimes A-G, depending on what song. -Yo-Ko will give you tips on what your weakness is in a particular part of a song after you finish the song. -You can get rid of that little help menu by hitting "X" --- Option --- Game Level: -Default on Medium. The easier you go, the harder it will be for you to fail. Sound Option: -Stereo or Mono? Duh... Stick Option (1P) or (2P): -You can change how you activate the sensors through your DS controller using your analog stick. Screen Brightness: -Using "Love Again Tonight"'s background, adjust how bright the screen is so you're not blinded by some of the effects. Screen Adjust: -Adjust the screen positioning in case part of the screen is not showing on your TV. Controller Check: -This is only if you have a PPP controller, to check sensativity. -If it's too sensative, you will get that "NG" error telling you to turn the dial on your controller until the "NG" message is gone. --- Records --- Want to see what songs you've already done? Want to see what the highest grade/score you've gotten on a given song? Want to see the high scores in a certain difficulty catagory in the arcade mode? Here you go... --- Memory card --- -Save and load PPP record data. That's about all it's good for. -Auto-save will save if you change your options and if you play 1P/2P Game Start mode and Free mode after you quit. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 5. Frequently Asked Questions (Or questions you might ask...or maybe not) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Q. Do I need to play with the PPP controller? A. Nope, an standard PSX/PS2 Analog controller will do too, but it's harder. Q. Who's the girl that's featured all over the game? A. She's like the mascot, her name is "Yo-Ko". Q. Can I use the PSX digital pad? A. Nope. Q. Where can I get the PPP controller? A. Ask your local import shop. Please do not ask me where to purchase this, as this game has been out for a while. I am not able to provide locations. Q. Are there 3rd party controllers? A. Nope. Q. What the heck does "NG" mean when I have my PPP controllers hooked up? A. Basically, your sensors are too sensitive, so undo that blue tape on the sensor, and turn the dial either way until that "NG" sign goes away. I have no clue what it stands for though (NO GOOD?). Q. Why does all the music sound the same/like so video-game like? A. Apparently, it's the Japanese style of Euro music, probably not like the Euro most people are familiar with. Q. Who produces the soundtrack for PPP? A. Avex Trax. Arguably, they're the largest producer of the music industry in Japan, not just in video games, but in popular music as well. Q. Where do the songs from PPP come from? -Where do these "Super Eurobeat" songs come from? A. According to ShinUkyo, there's a whole "Super Eurobeat" collection in Italy, where they have over hundreds of volumes of compilations. Japan imports it, licenses it, and uses them in games, anime, what-not. Q. Does the anime series Initial D and PPP have anything in common? A. Just the "Super Eurobeat" music. You can find some songs in PPP in Initial D as well (such as Mikado, Burning Desire, Night of Fire, etc.). Q. Are there really Para Para clubs in Japan? A. Yes. Q. How come the same girls do most of the dances in the movies? A. They're part of a Para Para group called "Para Para All-Stars," arguably one of the best Para Para groups. Q. Can I get more of those videoes? A. There are several videoes that exist in Japan actually. If you look inside your instruction booklet or OST CD book (assuming you have the originals), you can see the names/covers of the videoes that Konami uses in the game (like ParaPara Paradise, ParaPara All-Stars, etc.). Q. Who invented Para Para? A. Who knows? Supposedly it originated in Japan, but I don't know. Q. Is PPP similar to DanceManiaX? Are they the same? A. In a sense. Both emphasize the use of hands, and the music styles are similar, but DMX, supposedly, is easier. And less popular. Q. What's this "PPP 1.1" and "PPP 1st Mix Plus?" A. Basically, add-ons, think of it like 3rd Mix Plus in he arcade. The PS2 version just includes all the songs from all the versions of 1st Mix. Q. When I played PPP in the arcade, the interface was very different? A. PPP for PS2 uses the v1.1 interface. 1st Mix Plus used a listing interface which never saw a home version. Q. How come Try Me sounds so familiar? A. Try Me was originally by JPOP singer Amuro Namie; some people credit her for popularizing ParaPara. Her version of Try Me however is in Japanese. Q. I've heard Tora Tora Tora before too... A. This was also originally performed by JPOP group Max. I don't know if there's another version preceeding that one... Q. Is Domino's songs in any other game? A. Domino I believe did some sort of Disney special CD in Japan, most of those songs are also featured in Dancing Stage featuring Disney Tunes (aka, Dance Dance Revolution Disney's Rave). Q. Who is Y&Co? A. Y&Co is someone affiliated with Avex I believe that does a lot of Euro remixes, not just for Avex. Q. Why don't all the songs have Para Paras? A. Some songs didn't have Para Paras ready for them by the PS2 release but are in 2nd Mix (i.e. We Two Are One, Feeling of Love, Kiss Kiss Kiss), some simply don't have Para Paras at all (i.e. Dynamite Rave, Celebrate Nite, Luv to Me Disco mix, Can't Stop Fallin' in Love). -NOTE ADDED- HOWEVER. The arrows for the following songs on NORMAL difficulty are used in PARAPARA mode on PPP 2nd Mix in the arcade! So there are 3 MORE Para Paras in your PPP game! Just no movies for them (but for the most part, if you understand arrow patterns, the Para Para shouldn't be too hard to figure out). Songs are: We Two Are One -SEV- Feeling of Love -SEV- Kiss Kiss Kiss -SEV- Q. I heard the Korean version is different. A. In some ways, yes, it adds some Korean songs (like H.O.T.'s Happiness), and changed the game's name to "Para Para Dancing." Same game, new songs added, different name. Q. Why are there weird remixes on the 2nd disc of the soundtrack? A. Some songs have a "new generation" remix, where the song basically just had a facelift. The "new gen." remixes were released later after the original song was released, I believe were remixed by a group of people, who call themselves "New Generation." These songs include: Burning Desire, Aishiattemasu?, Night of Fire, Boom Boom Fire Q. If PPP controllers run on infrared sensors...then if I use a remote of some sort... A. ...will throw the sensors off. I haven't tried or confirmed it, and I don't think I want to. Q. Is PPP 2nd Mix ever coming out? A. I don't know. That's up to Konami of Japan, probably not though. Q. Are there any glitches in this game? A. I've found one minor glitch: After you've played Nonstop game in Free mode, in the next song you play, the announcer will treat your next song like a Nonstop also, whether or not you do a Nonstop game. Q. What's "Para Para Dancing"? A. It's the Korean release of Para Para Paradise, distributed by "Unico," based on PPP 1.0. Q. What are the major differences with the Korean and Japanese versions? A. 1)All text are in Korean (DUH) 2)Songlist, some added, some taken out (i.e. all Japanese songs were taken out) 3)There are 8 sensors on the Korean machine, and no flags on the side. 4)There's an option menu reflecting the 8 sensors so you can do the songs facing left, right, or completely backwards. Q. Can you do a full 8-sensor Para Para game? A. No. Q. What's the new/gone/changed songs in the Korean version? A. -=-NEW songs-=- H.O.T.-We Are the Future ~super euro version~ H.O.T.-Happiness ~super euro version~ H.O.T.-Go! H.O.T. ~super euro version~ BoA-Sara ~super euro version~ SES-I Love You ~super euro version~ SES-Oh! My love ~super euro version~ -=-REMOVED songs-=- I Wanna Dance Tora Tora Tora -=-CHANGED songs-=- Hold on Me ~Korean Version~ Q. Do these songs have Para Paras? A. The Korean songs except Hold on Me do NOT have Para Paras nor do they appear in the Para Para mode songlist. Q. Are these Korean songs in the PS2 home version? A. NO. THEY ARE LICENSED DIFFERENTLY. Q. What is the series "Para Para Paradise" and "Para Para Stadium?" A. Avex based the game off of an "instructional" video which featured 6 girls that they made into a team, called the "Para Para All Stars," who are the girls that are featured in the "movie" feature of the PS2 game. Q. Who are the Para Para All Stars (PPA)? (quick history) A. Avex held open auditions for the PPA team, which is featured in the video "Para Para Stadium." They were able to find Satoko (she is the "close-up girl on the video for Speedway and Night of Fire," who is one of the original members, then added Tomomi (close-up on Love Again Tonight and Yesterday), Richie (close-up on Mickey Mouse March), and Maki (the only girl without a close-up, but middle girl in Anniversary and Energy Love). Some videoes from PPP1 are in the PS2 videoes. Later, after the success of Para Para Paradise 1, Avex went on to PPP 2, which they added two more girls, Miho (close-up on Stay) and Ryoko (close-up on Tora Tora Tora and Crazy For You). They also "paired" the girls off, one reason so they would not "compete" against each other for looks, style, and...what-not. Pairs: Satoko, Richie Tomomi, Ryoko Maki, Miho After Para Para Paradise 4, Tomomi left the group to explore new interests, but the group continued onto Para Para Paradise 5 with only 5 of them. They then put Ryoko with Maki and Miho's group. Q. A lot of videoes from PPP 1st Mix Plus seem to either be in 1st Mix and 2nd Mix, or not there at all. Why? A. My guess is that Avex wasn't satisfied with how many Para Paras were in 1st Mix (most of the routines can be found in Para Para Stadium), so they made 1st Mix Plus which added Para Paras from PPP 1, and some other popular ones that aren't on the video series. Q. Are there "preview" or "trial" songs? A. *UPDATED* None. Q.Where are these Para Paras coming from? A. PPA doesn't necessarily choreograph all their Para Paras. In fact, Hirokazu Miyachi of Club Twinstar (Para Para club in Japan) fame helps choreograph some of their dances too. But there are already a bunch of Para Paras out there that aren't featured in the video series. Para Paras have been popularized before the video and the game came out. There are sometimes even variations on already existing songs/para paras. For example, there are 3 different variations of Night of Fire. Q. Where do the videoes come from? A. Some are done by the Para Para All-Stars, specially done for Konami. Others where it features either only four Paralists or two paralists at a time, those videoes are from Para Para Paradise 1 (the DVD/VCD, NOT the game). If you're looking for the arcade video unit, PPP 1.0 and 1.1 use Para Para Stadium. All videoes were filmed at Club Velfarre. Q. Are these videoes (in the game) available for sale? A. For the arcade, not that I'm aware of. However, if your local arcade has the separate video unit (which must be purchased separately from the machine), the video disc is a standard REGION-2 DVD. Please do not ask me where you can acquire a video unit or the DVD disc, I do not know where to acquire them either. Q. Do the new Konami Originals from 1st Mix Plus and 2nd Mix have videoes? A. No, the video unit only shows "NO MOVIE" for the following songs: We Two Are One -SEV- Feeling of Love -SEV- Kiss Kiss Kiss -SEV- Broken My Heart -SEV- Ultra High-Heels -SEV Dynamite Rave Celebrate Nite Can't Stop Falling in Love Luv to Me -disco mix- Q. How do people know the routines for those five Super Euro Versions of those songs then? A. PPP 2nd Mix provides a CG character model that will show you the routine for the songs. Q. Are there any "APPEND CODE" or unlockables, in the home or arcade? A. None. Q. Your FAQ sucks. I can make a better one. A. Great. Then go make a better one. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 6. Can you give me some tips/secrets? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -To activate "Another" mode songs in EXPERT difficulty: Hit left, right, left, right, on the song selection screen, you will hear a sound confirming the correct entry. Only the following songs will be changed: Can't Stop Fallin' in Love -super euro version- Celebrate Nite Speedway Dynamite Rave -super euro version- Eurobeat Hold on Me Luv to Me disco mix Yesterday To deactivate the mode for those songs, re-enter the code. -Activate the "secret menu" You can bring up the "secret menu" by hitting the triangle button on your DS2 controller, or if you're using the PPP controller, hit both left and right arrows at the same time. You will be able to change the movie settings in PPP difficulty, toggle high-speed mode, hidden, sudden, etc. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 7.

The difficulty and arrows Each song's difficulty is measured by a star. As you go up in difficulty, you'll notice that the songs get progressively harder. TWO SIDE NOTES: 1)Not all difficulties have ALL the songs. For example, some songs like Dynamite Rave, We Two Are One don't appear in ParaPara difficulty, nor do they have ParaPara dances to them. Can't Stop Fallin' in Love -super euro version- doesn't appear in Hard difficulty. And so forth. 2)In Para Para mode, THE STARS DO NOT REFLECT HOW MANY ARROWS APPEAR, OR HOW HARD THE ARROWS ARE TO HIT. It reflects the difficulty of the routine. 100 (1:24) ParaPara: 3 -Arrows: 88 Normal: 4 -Arrows: 212 Hard: 5 -Arrows: 265 Expert: 6 -Arrows: 336 Aishiattemasu?

About these lyrics -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- There about 50 songs here, and since most of the singers in WELL over half of these songs DON'T sing proper english, and few sing in complete Japanese (which I SUCK at romanizing), a HUGE part of these lyrics are probably WRONG (unless I found them already). A few I've gotten from the Initial D lyric sheet...
