Mashup

Mashups are routines that consist of choreography from both previous Just Dance titles and those from the current game integrated into a single routine, first appeared in. Until its latest appearance in, the feature underwent a lot of updates. Mashups did not return in.

Description
Dance Mashups are routines that consist of dancers from previous titles and the current game are all joined into one single routine, but not every dancer. There are two types of Mashups: regular and sweat. The original dancer from the song usually appears at the beginning and end of the routine, sometimes even during the middle of the song, if the song is Solo. Before Just Dance 2015, if the Classic routine was a Duet or Dance Crew, a random Solo dancer takes the Duets/Dance Crew's place; or sometimes nothing replaced the dancers. This was changed in Just Dance 2015, with the reintroduction of Duet Mashups, which were only in Just Dance 3 before, and the introduction of Dance Crew Mashups. Also, Just Dance 2015 introduced themed Mashups, in which the dancer selection would be determined by a specific category, such as Pink Hair.

Just Dance 3

 * In addition, by accessing the Mashup via the JD Wall, the game will freeze after a few minutes.
 * On, the background of Mashups were supposed to change color each time a different dancer appears. However, this could not happen due to technical limitations, and this only happened to You’re On My Mind.

 * This was later fixed in.
 * Starting with, Mashups no longer began and/or ended with the original dancer, even if it fits the theme.
