Make an Extra Stage system for DDR

Inspired by the IIDX thread.

Make a system of extra stages for DDR.


My system: The Extra Stage is different based on the difficulty rating of the final stage song that you AA.

AA a 12--> Level 12 extra stage
AA a 13--> Level 13 extra stage
and so on.

When you pass all the difficulty levels, a "Final Boss" (Lv. 19) appears.

Idea 1.
Final Stage: Anything from IIDX (Must AAA) or
Extra Stage: 1st Samurai
ENCORE Extra Stage: Genocide

Final Stage: Hero (2008 X-Edit) (Must AAA)
Final Stage: Butterfly (2008 X-Edit) (Must AAA)
Final Stage: Boys (2008 X-Edit) (Must AAA)
Final Stage: Dub-I-Dub (2008 X-Edit) (Must AAA)

We're going to define Grade Points as D=0 through AAA=5. Each stage, you earn Grade Points based on your grade. To earn the Extra Stage, you must get at least AA on your Final Stage and have (3*number of stages)+1 Grade Points. If you get an E and continue playing, you cannot reach the Extra Stage. If you get a full Perfect or Marvelous combo on your final stage and you haven't gotten an E, you will earn the Extra Stage regardless of grade.

For the Extra Stage, you can play any song. Some songs have ES Special settings, which can include all the standard ES stuff, forced modifiers, and even special charts. Each ES special song has a different EES requirement, and meeting these is the only way to reach EES. If you don't play ES Special, there is no way to reach EES.

EES does not have free selection, and in fact you are thrown straight into it after evaluation for ES if you meet the requirements. The EES song is Red. by full metal jacket (for DDR), with 1 battery life, played with 1x vivid. There is only one chart, an 18.

Just wondering what motivation a player would have for getting ES/EES if the boss songs are regularly available anyway and have been played before. And are easy.

Nostalgic players I guess?

---

Any AAA = Immediate Bonus Stage.

Play your choice of 3 three-song mini-Zmix stages with a 4-life battery lifebar. There are 10 of these in total (for 30 non-boss unlockables), you choose between the first three, and when one gets beaten, it's replaced with the option to choose the fourth, and so on.
If you fail, the game continues to the next stage. If you pass, it unlocks the 3 corresponding songs for regular play.
Once 8 or more sets are unlocked, they're determined at random.

Total score / total stages = 950,000 or more = Extra Stage.

Play your choice between 5 boss songs.
A the stage to play Encore Extra Stage, but not unlock the boss song.
AA the stage to play Encore Extra Stage, and enable the boss song for the remainder of that day.
AAA the stage to play Encore Extra Stage, and enable the boss song permanently.
Score for Extra Stage is doubled.

Boss songs:
= 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
= 9, 9, 10, 11, 12
= 14, 15, 15, 16, 17
= 17, 18, 18, 19, 19

Encore Extra Stage:

Free select of any song available, any boss song, or any of the mini-Zmix stages, with a 1-life permadeath lifebar. Will not result in unlocks, but score is tripled. In this case, the mini-Zmix stages can act as previews of unlockable songs available later in the game.

If ES is AA'ed or better, you can choose a normal-lifebar play of the ultimately challenging song (to be determined):

??????? / ???

This DDR Mix would have a number of Default Extra Stages, but after a certain enjoy level is reached, the GRAND -I- CREST folder is unlockable, which contains four unlockable songs in ascending difficulty. The unlock system is straightfoward, where 10 songs must be FC + AA'd to unlock the Iron Song, 20 songs must be FC + AA'd to unlock the Bronze Song, 40 songs must be FC + AA'd to unlock the Silver Song, and 60 songs must be FC + AA'd to unlock the Gold Song. Once all four songs in this folder are AA'd, the GRAND -I- CREST ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE is unlocked, which is themed as the Diamond Song.

FINAL STAGE:

- 1998 - kors k remix -/ NAOKI [165] 5 / 7 / 12 / 14

EXTRA STAGE:

---

My system: Get AA on final stage depending on song's representing mix. Default ES and EES will be the boss songs of said mix. Both ES and EES can be chosen by the player but EES can't be accessed if ES is not the representing boss song. Modifications are allowed but ES is always on 4 lives and EES is on one life.

1st: ES: Paranoia; EES: Trip Machine
2nd: ES: Paranoia Max; EES: SP Trip Machine
3rd: ES: Paranoia Rebirth; EES: Afronova
4th: ES: Paranoia Evolution; EES: Trip Machine Climax
5th: ES: Paranoia Eternal; EES: Healing Vision
Max: ES: Max 300; EES: Candy
Max2: ES: Maxx Unlimited; EES: Kakumei
Extreme: ES: The Legend of Max; EES: DDR
Supernova: ES: Fascination Maxx; EES: Chaos
Supernova 2: ES: Paranoia Hades; EES: Pluto Relinquish
X: ES: Horatio; EES: Trigger
X2: ES: Kimono Princess; EES: Roppongi Evolved

Final Stage:
Lunar Phase / kors k vs. DJ KILLER / 80-160 BPM / 3/7/10/14/-

Extra Stage:
Aquarius / NISH vs. Nhato / 145 BPM / 3/6/8/14/16
SHADE (Total Darkness Remix) / Remixed by DJ YOSHITAKA / 172 BPM / 4/7/9/15/16
Hyperactivity / kobo feat. L.E.D.-G / 170-205 BPM / 5/8/11/15/17

Encore Extra Stage:
Eternity / SySF+√T / 210 BPM / 4/8/13/17/18
Speed Kills / DJ TECHNORCH / 225-450 BPM / 7/11/14/17/19
Berlin EVOLVED / Ryu* Underground / 155-310 BPM / 5/8/12/16/18

Hyper Extra Stage:
Programmed Epilogue / kors k / 18-140 BPM / 2/5/9/13/-


Aquarius is the default ES. To have the option of playing SHADE, get at least 925,000 points on Lunar Phase. Hyperactivity is unlocked by getting a AA on it. (You would be able to play any of the three.)

The EES is unlocked by getting AAs on the Extra Stages:
Eternity: 1 AA
Speed Kills: 2 AAs
Berlin EVOLVED: All 3
Again, you would be able to play any of the three if they are all unlocked. Mods are allowed, but you only have one life.

Hyper Extra Stage is unlocked by AAAing every EES. Mods are not allowed, and you have only one life.
All of these songs would be unlocked for normal play with a very high e-Amuse level.

Here is my Extra Stage system that I thought of. The songs are borrowed from ITG to ITG Rebirth (with the exceptions of Z, osaka EVOLVED, SILVER☆DREAM, and a few others). The EES songs will have characters fly through the Twilight Gravity stage (except for G2, which will show its own DDR Ultramix 2 BG video), much like in the Wii DDR games (starting from Hottest Party 3).

Rules:
1. For Extra Stage, modifiers can be chosen. However, you have 4 lives, so be careful!
2. For Encore Extra Stage, this rule is the same as above, except that you only have 1 life, so be extremely careful!

Unlock Pandemonium: Get AA or better on 10 regular songs, then get AA or better on Disconnected Zeo.

Unlock Hasse Mich: Get AA or better on Sail Away after getting AA or better on 20 regular songs.

Unlock Dream to Nightmare: Get AAA on Hyper Hyper after getting AA or better on 30 regular songs.

Unlock Y2Z: Get AAA on 40 regular songs, then get AA or better on Y2Z.

Unlock Fantasia: Get AAA on 50 regular songs, then get AA or better on Fantasia.

Unlock Disconnected -HaRDKoRE-: Get AAA on 60 regular songs, then get AAA on Disconnected -HaRDKoRE-.

Unlock osaka EVOLVED -まいど、おおきに！-: Get AAA on roppongi EVOLVED during Final Stage, then get AA or better on osaka EVOLVED during Extra Stage. The versions of the song are chosen randomly.

Unlock Summer ~Speedy Mix~: Get over 960,000 points on any ES song.

Unlock Chromatic Blitz: Get AAA on any ES song after unlocking all other EES songs, then get AA or better on ReaF.

Unlock VerTex²: Get AA or better on any ES song after unlocking Summer ~Speedy Mix~, then get AA or better on VerTex².

Unlock Summer: Get AAA on Summer ~Speedy Mix~ during Encore Extra Stage.

Unlock Monolith: Get AAA on Healing Vision(Angelic mix) during Extra Stage.

Unlock Pink Fuzzy Bunnies: Get AAA on any ES song after unlocking Monolith for EES, then get AA or better on Pink Fuzzy Bunnies.

Unlock Z: Get AAA on all Extra Stage and Final Stage songs, then try to play Z. The song will be permanently unlocked, regardless of whether you fail the song or pass it.
Note: After getting AAA on all ES and FS songs, you will immediately play Z (with no way to change your modifiers).

Unlock G2: Get AAA on MAX 300 -Super-Max-Me Mix- during Extra Stage.

Unlock Delirium: Get AA or better on Delirium during Final Stage, then get AAA on any song during Extra Stage.

Unlock SILVER☆DREAM: Get AAA on SUPER SAMURAI during Extra Stage after having gotten AA or better on all other FS/ES/EES songs. You will immediately start playing SILVER☆DREAM.

VerTex^2 and Chromatic Blitz with a sudden death lifebar sounds a little scary I must say.

Rainbow: Seraphim Awakening: 10/15/16/19/20 (100 - 800 BPM) - 2.2MB - The new Earth

Alright, so here's my idea for a needlessly complicated Extra Stage system because why the hell not.

The BANK system.

GIST OF IT: The bank system allows both e-amuse and non e-amuse players to select from a library of extra stage options, while still providing enough challenge to make extra stage not-too-common an occurrence. If a player receives an AA or AAA grade on a song, they gain points which they can later spend on Extra Stage songs. Getting a B grade or less on any song erases a player's extra stage points immediately; an A grade leaves their extra stage points constant. If a player finishes their credit with any extra stage points, the extra stage songs become available for selection.

Song difficulty: AA/AAA
1-5 3/4
6-9 4/5
10-12 5/6
13-14 6/8
15+ 8/10

Bonus points:
Full combo +1 points
Risky Full Combo +2 points
Perfect full combo +3 points
Final stage AA/AAA +5 points
Designated Stage AA/AAA +10 points

All default songs can be played in Extra Stage for as many points as the rating of the difficulty selected (i.e. After the Game of Love would cost 8 Extra Stage points to play). Unlockable songs have set costs regardless of difficulty (except in some cases of Challenge charts). Once songs have been unlocked for regular play, their Extra Stage cost is based on their difficulty.

SAMPLE SONG LIST:

-final stages-
REFRACTION (NC feat. NRG Factory)
160BPM
3/6/10/14
COST: 0 (by difficulty)
Note: This would be the "designated" final stage: getting an AA on this nets the player 10 points instead of the usual 5 for AAs. It can be played on extra stage with cost based on difficulty.

-extra stages-
DEEPER CONSCIOUS (Ryu*)
120 BPM
2/5/7/12

EXAMPLE OF PLAY: Hannah plays an 18 footer for her first stage and scores a C, completely losing all Extra Stage points she may have been saving via e-amuse. For her second stage, she chooses an 11 footer and AA FCs it, gaining 6 ES points. For her final stage she plays Refraction , a 14 foot song, and AAs it without a full combo: this gives her 6 more points, plus another 10 for AAing the designated final stage. For Extra stage, she now has 22 points. She chooses Heart 2 Heart which costs 20 points; her ES point total is now 2. Thankfully she passes and AAs Heart 2 Heart, gaining 18 points and bringing her total to 20. For her Encore Extra Stage she picks The Rise of Babylon and passes by a whisker; e-amuse saves the 20 ES points she receives for her next game. (8 for AAing a 15, 10 for AAing a designated Extra Stage and 2 for a risky full combo)

Well, i made this ES systemthat was inspired by various IIDX ES system(s) and also DDR X2's RDA. I'm not naming that system yet due to lack of ideas (suggestions are appreciated )

Here's my 2-in-1 Extra Stage system for a fictitious Wii U release of DDR. It has almost every DDR boss song ever made, and a few more fictitious songs that would be composed by me and Konami artists, as well as some real songs that have not appeared on DDR:

In the first part, you will see 6 levels for single. This is because this particular fictitious release would include a new low level difficulty called Novice (which would be colored orange). Also, some songs have been re-rated from their actual DDR ratings. See if you can spot these.
Just tell me if this is too long.

Rules:
1. To access the folder, fill up the star counter (get at least 9 stars). You get a free play in this folder each time you full combo a song in the folder.
2. To unlock each song, you must meet the specified conditions of each song below.
3. You recieve medals based on your performance:
-1 for completing the song (2 if the song is rated 15 or higher, 3 if the song is rated 17 or higher)
-1 for each "A" in the rank
-2 for each level of combo (such as Perfect Full Combo, which would net 4)
4. You receive orange medals on Novice, blue medals on , yellow on , pink on , green on , and violet on . You can also receive platinum medals for every platinum star in the Star counter (up to a maximum of 9). Each A in a rank earns a platinum star. (AAA earns 3, for example).
5. To play each song, you must pay 1 medal for every 3 difficulty ratings (always rounded up). A 17, for example, would cost 6 medals to play.
-Orange, blue, yellow, pink, green, and violet medals can only be used on the corresponding difficulty levels. Platinum medals can be used on any difficulty level. You can trade 3 medals of one color for the color above it (3 green medals to make a violet medal, for example).
-If you don't have enough medals to play a song on any difficulty level, the folder closes and you need to earn 9 stars again.
6. You recieve 1 life for a song easier than 14, 2 for a 14, 3 for a 15, 4 for a 16, 6 for a 17, 8 for an 18, and 12 for a 19.
-These numbers are doubled for full versions.
7. Passing a song unlocks it for regular play on all difficulty levels (it stays in the Realm of the Stars folder until AntarcticaEVOLVED has been completed, and until then, you can still earn medals from that song).
8. Passing the song required to unlock each Realm of the Stars song with a B or lower unlocks that song on the level you passed the song on (for example, getting a B on Candy* would unlock MAX 300 on ). Getting at least an A will unlock that song on all difficulty levels.
-If you pass a song on with a B or lower, and the Realm of the Stars song to be unlocked does not have a chart, it will be unlocked on difficulty.
-If the song does not have a chart but the Realm of the Stars song to be unlocked does, then you MUST get an A or higher on that song to unlock the Realm of the Stars song's chart.
-If 2 or more songs are required to unlock one Realm of the Stars song, and you get a B or less on ANY ONE of them, you will unlock the song on the difficulty you scored higher on. In case of a tie, only the LOWEST difficulty level that was tied is unlocked for play, if the songs were played on different difficulty levels. If you get an A or higher on ALL of them, the song is unlocked for play on all difficulty levels. For example, with Sakura Storm (song A), Sakura Reflection (song B) and Sakura (song C):
--Get an A on song A and a B on song B , unlock song C on
--Get a B on song A and an A on song B, unlock song C on
--Get a B on both songs (with the same score), unlock song C on
--Get an A on both songs, unlock song C on all difficulty levels
-Songs that are immediately unlocked on all difficulty levels are listed below, under "Conditions", with a karat (^)
9. Passing DubaiEVOLVED unlocks the Groove Radar specials for play.
-To unlock Dead End (Groove Radar Special), you must pass every other Groove Radar special.

Qualifier rules:
1. Once you pass Dead End (Groove Radar Special), and you have at least 30 violet medals, the song wheel will be locked on Heart Beat Formula (jun remix).
2. You will only need to pay 30 violet medals the first time you play this song. Once you do, you will have to play the chart on 1x speed with turn modifiers disabled.
3. The dance gauge is the "pressure mode" gauge--it starts full and drains, but never recovers. About 15 misses will deplete the dance gauge.
4. If you fail the song, you won't lose any progress in Realm of the Stars, but you will need to accumulate 9 more stars to attempt the song again.
5. Once you do pass, you will continue on to the final stage (see below).

Final stage rules:
1. Once you pass Heart Beat Formula (jun remix), the song wheel will be locked on AntarcticaEVOLVED.
2. You will be forced to play this song on difficulty with a forced 1x speed modifier. No turn modifiers allowed.
3. You will get 1/10 the number of lives (always rounded down) that you've preserved in Realm of the Stars up to this point. This is your life bank.
4. The version will be chosen at random. You won't know which one it is until point Δ (a term I use to indicate where the differences between the three versions begin).
5. If you fail the song, you won't lose any progress in Realm of the Stars, but you will need to accumulate 9 more stars to attempt the song again. You will also get a chance to play up to 5 songs to improve your life bank. You can select AntarcticaEVOLVED at any time, otherwise you will keep going until you full combo 5 consecutive songs or fail to full combo a song, then the song wheel will once again be locked on AntarcticaEVOLVED. You will use your medals to add lives (1 life costs 5 medals of any color).
6. If you fail the song 5 times in a row, you'll get bonus arrows (optional arrows that will revive 1 life each time you hit one).
7. Once you do pass, you will unlock the song for regular play on all difficulty levels in all styles, and get a special congratulatory screen, as well as the ability to choose whatever version of any EVOLVED song you desire, and any other song that may have different versions chosen at random (such as Sunkiss♥Drop jun/Alison side).

1. This is so stupidly complicated I think you're joking.
2. Your aliases sound and look dumb. (Except Ξ, that's actually kind of neat.) Leetspeak and lolspeak is so 2005 ago. Get with the times. 
3. Do you even make music anyway? That's so vain of you to think that KONAMI would actually get you to make almost all the new boss songs. Think of other BEMANI artists that would fit, like maybe L.E.D., kors k, GUHROOVY...
4. You're not getting the concept of boss songs. In every DDR game so far, there are about 3-6 boss songs (except Replicant D Action), and the rest of the songs are a regular difficulty to even out the game. You want a game with over 60 boss songs. You could even it out with a ton of regular songs, but how many is enough, and can there be too many songs in a console release, especially with data limits?
5... This is directed to a bunch of people here. Do you know that there are players who can't even pass MAX 300? IT'S TRUE! There is even a term for these players: "beginners". (Translation for G4m3rpro: n00bs) Even some moderately skilled players like myself have trouble.

When you put up fictional 20s, 21s, 22s, et cetera, you are basically saying "DDR IS JUST NOT HARD ENOUGH FOR ME, AND THEY SHOULD CHANGE THAT". That's selfish. If DDR just gets harder, harder, and harder, these "beginners" will never catch up. Started passing 13s? Now there's 20s. Finally passed a 14? Up yours, 22s are where it's at. 

6. Max, I like yours. :3
