I can understand if that's what they're supposed to be, but the point is that's not what it should be. A routine that is more difficult than the original by a considerable margin is a good idea, but only when the difficuly is natural. When you offer a routine that is unreasonably fast, constantly changes gears, and contains moves that push the participant to their physical limits, the difficulty becomes artificial, and the routine is no fun. There are countless people like me that played those types of routines once, maybe twice to try to reach 5 stars, then never touched it again. This wasn't the problem with Just Dance 2014 because the Extremes were faster pace and required the performance of harder moves without making it unfair and detracting from the experience. Those are extremes done right.

Also, a background should NEVER complete a routine. The background and any accompanying visual effects are there to enhance the experience, not define it. What ultimately defines a routine is the routine. the moves that are performed. The backgrounds for the alternates of 2014 existed to telegraph that this is a certain style of routine, which worked because of how often that style is used. They're not defining the routine because they're not supposed to. That's what the choreo is for.
