Some clarifications and additives before I begin

Since the suggestion for JD1 and JD2 had rather long lists for the “challenge” and sweat mode respectively which may be tough to implement the usual way so perhaps a spreadsheet-like design like in the smash ultimate level leaderboards. Although it would be a huge list, I feel like that would be the best way to do it without a giant list of misc.

In fact, I’ve taken the liberty of creating tables in google docs of what they should look like. Here it is: https://tinyurl.com/yyd4kfa5

That doc also has the sweat ILs for JD4, Dance Quest ILs for JD2016 and JD2017 which will be explained below

I also believe that JD Summer Party should be added as a “sub-game” to JD2 since it is. Same thing with JD Greatest Hits and JD3.

I will also cover the spin-off series at a later date because we should have the main series first but with that said, no I didn’t forget MJ The Experience, BEP Experience, HHD Experience, Smurf Dance party, JD kids 1-JD kids 2014, ABBA: You Can Dance, Dance on Broadway, Just Sing, JD Wii, JD Wii 2, JD Wii U, Yo-Kai Watch Dance, JD Now, JD2015 Chinese Version, JD2017 Chinese Version, JD Disney Party 1, JD Disney Party 2, And last but not least JD Vitality School.

Yeah, there are a lot of spin-offs and it really seems that Ubisoft can turn these out quickly.

Anyway back to the main topic of this post.

JD4

All-Stars: Play every song in the game with the score not being an issue.

5 Stars: Play every song in the game while also getting 5 stars in each song

Like in JD3 I believe that there should be an Individual Level “spreadsheet” type of leaderboard like in smash ultimate. This is because of the unique way the game handles sweat so please refer to the doc above to see what it should look like.

Dance Quests: You and three other people try to get all of the dance quests in the game (or at least you holding 4 Wiimotes and such) swapping the number of players as needed. All players must be named in the submission. Or maybe if that too unrealistic then just make it so you must get all the dance quests that are possible by one person

Collectables: only in JD3 and JD4 because of the way they handle collectibles is having this category justifiable from JD2014 onwards the mojo coins just don’t work for collectibles because you have to buy all the collectibles individually instead of unlocking them.

Dance Battles: Play every dance battle and win 5-0. The fun would come from trying your hardest to beat the AI perfectly.

I’m going to stop mentioning the non-stop pop category because it’s redundant at this point and every game from here on out has it from the start. I also didn’t mention it when talking about JD2 and JD3 because I simply forgot. However, JD4 is different because you have to unlock it first so I felt it worth mentioning.

JD2014

All-Stars: Play every song in the game with the score not being an issue

5 Stars: Play every song in the game while getting 5 stars on each song

Dance battles: Play every dance battle and win every round against the AI opponent.

I won’t talk about JD2015 or JD2020 because we already have access to those and honestly I only have 1 final idea for both and all of these games which would be a blindfolded sweat run but I’m not sure if that would get many people running it, I certainly would though.

JD2016

All-stars: Play every song in the game with the score not being an issue

5 Stars: play every song in the game while getting 5 stars in each one.

Dance Quests: there will be a full game run where you do them all either 5 stars or just to unlock the player icon/win the quest (mods’ choice). AND it will have IL runs like in the document above.

JD2016 also has a sort of karaoke mode but I don’t think it should be run because it’s very boring all things considered.

JD2017

JD2017 is different because this game added the “superstar” score where you get it from getting a score above 11,000 in a song and I think it should be considered as its own category in this leader board.

All-Stars: play every song in the game with the score not being an issue

5 stars: Play every song in the game while getting 5 stars in each 1

Superstar: play every song in the game while getting the “superstar” pop up from getting a score of 11,000.

Dance Quests: Again this can have a full run of all the quests in one sitting AND ILs. The ILs are again in the document above. There are not as many as in JD2016 but it’s still a great mode. I specifically bought JD2016 and JD2017 on the Wii U to get access to both dance quests modes even though I already own JD2016 on Xbox 360.

Some might ask about JD Unlimited since there are Dance Quests for it in both games but that would be a REALLY long list They are shared between both games so putting the whole list in both wouldn’t make any sense Not everyone would have access to it since it’s a subscription service

JD Machine: JD2017 introduces a never before seen and never since seen mode called JD Machine and this is the PERFECT mode to run. It’s the closest JD ever went into having a story mode and that’s fantastic. The rules are simple. Fill up the JD Machine’s gauge as fast as possible on a fresh save. Simple but effective.

JD2018

All-stars: Play every song in the game with the score not being an issue.

5 stars: Play every song in the game while getting 5 stars on each song

Superstar: Play every song in the game while getting superstar on each one

Megastar: Play every song in the game while getting Megastar on each one

JD2018 doesn’t have the JD Machine it does have Dance Lab which is the next best thing and should have its own full category but not ILs because each level is the same length regardless of how many times you play it so playing them all is best.

JD2018 also has double rumble but that’s exclusive to Nintendo Switch so not everyone would have access to it so it would be unfair.

JD2019

The mods already have access to this game so there’s no need for suggestions other than a Superstar and Megastar category like in JD2018

JD2020 Again I only want a Superstar and Megastar category

JD2021

To finally end this massive post the only category I want that hasn’t already been said by me before many times is a category for the quick play mode that would be different from the non-stop pop category. I’m tired but yeah they should be different categories.

Just so you know using Arial 11 font, this was 4 damn pages in google docs, and that’s without the other doc of ILs. UGGGGGHHHH!!!!
