Trivia[]
General[]
- In the preview gameplay, the song is mistakenly named Vampire Weekend (the performing band).
Routine[]
- A-Punk is the first Duet to appear in the menu of Just Dance 2, thus being the first Duet in the Just Dance series.
- A-Punk is the only duet in the base game for Just Dance 2 where P1 is a man while P2 is a woman.
- P2 has an avatar available on Just Dance 4, but this avatar did not return in Just Dance 2014. It is one of the few Just Dance 4 avatars to not return in the following game, along with those of Cotton Eye Joe and P1 of Somethin’ Stupid.
- However, an unused avatar for P2 has been proven to exist in the beta version of Just Dance 2014.
- Strangely, this beta avatar has purple hair and a purple hat.
- However, an unused avatar for P2 has been proven to exist in the beta version of Just Dance 2014.
- The Just Dance 2 announcement trailer showed P1 dancing alone, in order to make the Duet mode a surprise.
- He also had a different color scheme.
- In a promotional gameplay, the Gold Move pictogram for P2 is reversed.
- One pictogram for P2 in Just Dance 2 has its arrow dark orange, P1's arrow color, instead of yellow.
- In the preview gameplay, the coaches are not frozen at the start of the routine; instead, they just look at each other before starting to dance.[3]
- The pictograms for the outdated remake are in the style of Just Dance 3, suggesting that the map was supposed to return to Just Dance 3 (as a downloadable track) or Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of.
- The coaches also look slightly different in the Mashup of Problem, where some of the unused updated pictograms are used as well.
- In the Xbox 360 DLC guide manual for Just Dance 4, a menu icon for A-Punk is seen. Curiously, it is not the one used in Just Dance 2, and it appears to be in the style of Just Dance 3, thus corroborating the theory that suggests the map might have been meant to reappear in that game. [4]
- In the remake, P2’s glove sometimes glitches to lime green.
