Trivia
General
- Apache (Jump On It) is the first song by The Sugarhill Gang in the franchise. It is followed by Rapper's Delight (The Hip Hop Experience)
- The version of the song used in-game was re-recorded by The Sugarhill Gang, which can be found on iTunes.
- This makes it the second re-recorded song to appear in the series after Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of Monika).
- The line "But I’ll be brief" is misinterpreted as "But I’ll be real". This mistake is fixed in the remake.
- However, in the remake, the line "I sting squaws then" is misinterpreted as "I see yoursquaws and" (with "your" and "squaws" incorrectly joined together in one word).
Classic
- Both Apache (Jump On It) and Party Rock Anthem have the most appearances in Mashups, with 21.
- However, this would only be the case if counting appearances in unused Mashups, otherwise the total would be 19.
- In the gameplay from dash.justdancenow.com, the Gold Move effect from Just Dance 2017 is used. This is also the case of It's You (Sweat).
- In Just Dance 3, the pictograms have pine green arrows although the coach's glove is lime green.
- Some of the moves in the chorus are taken from the dance routine of the song in the talent show scene from Season 6 Episode 8 of The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air.
- Incidentally, the same dance moves would later be used as a dancing emote in Destiny and as the same dancing emote by Kayle and Singed from League of Legends.
- In a trailer on Vimeo, there is a beta pictogram. It has arrow heads on both ends.
- In the remake, the pictogram made for the move Gold Move 2 is in Just Dance 3 style, in spite of Gold Move 2 having a new pictogram in Just Dance 2016 style.
- In Just Dance Now, the routine sometimes experiences a glitch where the pictograms are semitransparent and the lyrics are missing.
Mashup
- The first, third, fourth, and fifth times Move Your Feet where appears in Apache (Jump On It) (Mashup), Gold Moves 1-3 are removed.
- In the Mashup on the Wii, the Gold Move pictogram has incorrect coloring. It has a darker color, it is more 3D, and it is missing its outline.
- There are three beta pictograms in the Mashup on the Wii.
- In I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’’s first part, the first pictogram appears a bit earlier than the coach.
- In the menu icon, Rasputin is cut in half.
