Just Dance 2/Beta Elements

Songs and Routines
In Just Dance 2 there are a lot of known unused and changed content. Most of these elements are known because of videos; like the official trailer video as seen below.

Call Me

 * Call Me has two beta pictograms.
 * The coach appears on the NTSC cover of the game in a different colour scheme (purple instead of green).

TiK ToK

 * In an early version of TiK ToK, the scoring system was totally different than from the final game. The video shows that with a score of 20000+, 5 stars would be achieved (instead of 10000 like in later games). In the Just Dance 2 logo, (above the gameplay) you can see more moves of the unused "Let's Get It Started" choreography. Also, "1,2,3,4" appeared on the pictogram bar before starting the song, like Just Dance.
 * Also, the pictograms were different and Gold Move 2 was not counted as a Gold Move for this song.

Idealistic

 * Idealistic had different color pictograms and different bars before. As was the case with TiK ToK, a higher scoring can be shown in an official video. This suggests that all songs were like this at one point.
 * Also, the Gold Moves weren't even counted as a move, as seen in a preview.

Monster Mash

 * Monster Mash has one Beta Pictogram

A-Punk

 * In the trailer of Just Dance 2 when P1 from A-Punk was seen alone (to make the new Duet-mode a "surprise") his suit was orange but was later seen again with P1 in the final cut with color scheme.
 * Also, in the trailer P1 was going to be P2.
 * Another difference is that the choreography had a different intro: the coaches weren't frozen, and they first gave a look to each other before starting.

Born To Be Wild

 * The fur for the werewolf costume that the dancer is wearing was originally going to be purple. This can be seen in the menu square and in some screenshots. However, the fur is blue in the actual gameplay.

When I Grow Up

 * Based on an early screenshot When I Grow Up had a different kind of choreography (not including the contest winners) and a totally different color scheme.

Crazy in Love

 * Based on an early screenshot, Crazy In Love had a different color scheme and longer hair.
 * Also, 5 Beta Pictograms can be seen in the Just Dance Now files.

Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)

 * Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) looks a bit different from the final version.
 * Also, some Beta pictograms are seen in Just Dance Now files.

Hot Stuff

 * Hot Stuff had a lot of changes to the final cut.
 * The choreography was completely different, displaying the Male as P1 and the female as P2 as well as some dance moves with minor changes.
 * The dancers' color schemes were different (it can be noticed also in the back of the cover) as well as both dancers' pictograms as they were magenta.
 * In the Promiscuous Mash-Up from Just Dance 3 the used dance-recording in Just Dance 2 is featured but the color schemes and pictograms have been inverted (i.e. Purple is Yellow, Yellow is Purple and so on).

Walk Like an Egyptian

 * Walk Like an Egyptian had a completely different choreography with unseen dance moves. This dancer appears in some Just Dance 2014 Mash-Ups with a different color scheme.

I Got You (I Feel Good)

 * Based on the Just Dance 2 (James Brown) Trailer, the color scheme of I Got You (I Feel Good) was different than the final released one.

Toxic

 * The Beta version of Toxic features different shaped doors, and in the beginning, they open until Britney starts to sing; this intro was changed for unknown reasons. In Just Dance Wii, these Beta elements are used.
 * Also, 2 beta pictograms are found in Just Dance Now files.

Move Your Feet

 * Based on an early teaser, the dance originally had "Everybody" and "Move your feet" pop up every time it was said. Also, the lyrics say "Got the dance energy" instead of "We're going down town."
 * Plus, the Just Dance Now pictograms sprite contains 3 unused pictograms.

Soul Bossa Nova

 * The dance had incorrect I Want You Back pictograms, and a slightly more animated background. Also, the video features a completely different scoring design, featuring a "GREAT" scoring, like in Just Dance 1.
 * Some pictograms in the Just Dance Now files have a different colour.

Holiday

 * The dancer for Holiday had a different color scheme and the pictograms were pink instead of orange
 * There seems to be an error in the texture of "YEAH".
 * A placeholder pictogram can be seen in the Just Dance Now files.

Iko Iko

 * Iko Iko has a Beta pictogram and an unfinished one. The unfinished one appears in the The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?), Never Can Say Goodbye and Dark Horse Mashups and in the Just Dance 3 version of the song.

S.O.S

 * In the beta version of S.O.S., the pictograms were purple instead of lime green and sometimes they were incorrect: in fact, sometimes there was a white square instead of the pictograms. Also, the part during "La la la la la la la la la oh" doesn't give points and, as a consequence, there are no Gold Moves in that part.

Crying Blood

 * The Beta gameplay showed INVALID TEXT in both folders for the song title and its author in the red line that appears at the beginning.
 * The routine was supposed to have 8 Gold Moves instead of 4. This beta element was used in the remake.
 * A beta pictogram appears in the Just Dance Now files.

Professor Pumplestickle

 * The coaches had slightly different color schemes.
 * In another picture, both pictograms had the same color.
 * They were originally going to dance in Maniac's background.

Barbie Girl

 * The pictograms were both magenta, as shown in a photo.

 * There are errors in the pictograms

The Power

 * The pictograms were blue instead of purple and there wasn't any special effect when the singer says "I've got the power."
 * Plus, a weird unfinished pictogram is in the Just Dance Now files.

Girlfriend

 * On the song selection, the dancers have a different colour scheme in the menu icon. Also, P2 seems like P1 meaning that the dancers could of been the other way round.

I Want You Back

 * I Want You Back has an unused Gold Move that can be found in its Just Dance Now files.
 * Additionally, a pictogram has ochre props instead of light blue arrows.

Dagomba

 * The coach's skin colour was a bit darker.


 * Also, the song was going to use a different title: Electro Tribal. Despite it being changed, ElectroTribalDLC is still used as code name for Just Dance Now files.However, this also happens to Drop The Mambo (The code is ElectroMambo) then maybe not.

Jump

 * The dancers' positions were flipped.

Mugsy Baloney

 * Mugsy Baloney has some Beta pictograms, found in Just Dance Now files.



Futebol Crazy

 * The coach's colour scheme was light blue and purple instead of green and yellow, as shown in a preview gameplay.
 * When played on the Xbox 360, this version of the dancer appears in Are You Gonna Go My Way’s Sweat Mashup.
 * Also, an unused pictogram can be seen in Just Dance Now files.

D.A.N.C.E.

 * D.A.N.C.E. has 1 Beta pictogram.
 * Plus, the Gold Move was supposed to be counted basing off all moves during "Do the D.A.N.C.E.", meaning that the players first had to open their arms and then putting them up, and not just putting them up.

That's Not My Name

 * The dancer was originally going to wear a hot pink mask, yellow lipstick and a red undershirt. This can be seen in the menu icon.

Graphics and Scoring

 * Scores had different effects.
 * The Gold Move effect was different, too. In some videos, the yellow X was replaced by the red X. However, the yellow X was used in the final version.
 * The effect that removes the "On Fire!" on the score tracker was different too: it had a blink at the end of the On Fire phase, which has been removed.
 * The "cloud" (the graphic that contains the player's score and name) was smaller.
 * The Sweat gauge was different: it was circular and grey with a sweat drop, instead of cloudy and blue.
 * You can reach up to 20000+ points. In reality, it would be 10 stars.
 * The pictograms were going to look like Just Dance pictograms, as proven in the files of Soul Bossa Nova.

Unknown Dancers

 * A female wearing an outfit similar at a cross between the Extreme version of Run the Show and to Hit The Lights. Some have unofficially dubbed her for the song Turn Me On by Kevin Lyttle. The song was however suspected to be I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyes Peas due to resemblances of a Live Performance of the song, but the song was used in Just Dance 2016. The dancer appears in a lot of the advertising of Just Dance 2. It was even on the cover of the game in the PAL-regions.


 * A male wearing a checkered top and green pants with straps. The dancer was rumored to be Let's Get It Started, another Black Eyed Peas-song (featuring will.i.am), due to his outfit that resembles will.i.am's in this song's music video. The dancer appears in a lot of the advertising of Just Dance 2 as well, even on the cover of the game in the PAL-regions along with the dancer above. Based on a photo, this dancer was supposed to be in the background of Baby Girl, and, If you look at it closely, you can see the game was in very early development (Due to the animation of "Perfect" and "Good" being so different in the final game and only 2 names of 4 players appeared).
 * Some moves of this routine appear in animations near the big screens of E3 2010.
 * A complete extraction of the routine was found in the Just Dance 3 files, under the name "Letgetretarted 640x480", confirming that this coach was indeed meant for Let's Get It Started.

None of the dancers listed above (except for Let's Get It Started) were officially revealed for those songs. Nor do they have other sources indicating that they're dancers and choreographies for other songs. They could possibly be beta dancers and early choreographies for other songs in the game or they could've been completely scrapped.
 * A female with a big pink and green dress, a blue mask and blue shoes is currently unknown. The song was unofficially dubbed Poker Face by Lady Gaga because the costume is like Lady Gaga's black costume at the start of her "Poker Face" video and the "Poker Face" CD cover.
