So you want to learn how to play Dance Maniax

Hello there aspiring Dance Maniac! If you wanted valuable information on playing this one of a kind game you have found the right place. In this hub I will teach you the basics and even share with you great secrets in dancing with Dance Maniax.

First Things First!

What is Dance Maniax? Dance Maniax is a game from Bemani which has great reputation in rhythm based games. Dance Maniax also shares a few songs with Dance Dance Revolution. In a nut shell it is a Rhythm Game where you use any part of your body to block the optical sensors to simulate dancing and following on screen patterns the red circles are for the top sensors and the blue circles are for the bottom sensors you must "block" the optical sensor just as the note reaches the top indicators.

Feel the Rhythm!

If you are fairly new to this game it might help if you first observe other people playing, You should probably consider the way they block the sensors and the step patterns of a few songs. Now once you have a feel for the game you may try it for yourself. If you are unfamiliar with the music of DM you should go with the course selection you can do this by simply pressing the middle button, however if you have played before and know what songs you want to play you may enter song selection by pressing the left or the right button together with the middle one. Now if you chose song selection you may see a few more options that may look dizzying don't worry to much about them they are just the various special options that modify the game experience but do pay special attention to the speed modifier this makes the game more exciting. Now if you are asking me whether to go Wild or Mild it really depends on the song and your skills if you feel fairly confident you can finish a song then by all means go for it.

Dance! Dance! Dance!

I have seen quite a few people playing this game that just stand still and only let they're hands do the blocking I have nothing against that though, it just makes you look stiff and unfeeling. If you want to really enjoy playing this game then you should try actually moving I know its not actually dancing but still if you just want to have fun and some people even consider this as a work out, don't be afraid to move and show some personality.Well that is it for today's hub page! You must go forth and actually play the game to get better at it don't forget to listen to the music and feel the rhythm. Thank you for reading and have a blessed day!
