Firework

Sign in to edit

"Firework" by Katy Perry was featured on Just Dance 2 as a free downloadable track but was made unavailable for purchase following the shutdown of the Wii Shop Channel on January 30, 2019. The song remains playable on Just Dance: Summer Party, Just Dance: Greatest Hits, Just Dance: Best Of, Just Dance Now, Just Dance Unlimited, 舞力无限, and Just Dance+.

Appearance of the Dancer[]

Original[]

The dancer is a woman with bluish purple curly hair with a turquoise bow. She wears pink earrings, a reflex blue romper with indigo linings and a pink star with smaller pink circles underneath a pink jacket, a reflex blue wristband, and a pair of turquoise wedges with light blue straps. She also wears a turquoise glove and has a reddish outline.

Remake[]

In her remake, the coach looks more realistic. Her romper and the stars on it are in a darker shade of magenta, her bow and glove are now electric green instead of turquoise, her hair is in a darker shade of purple, and her wedges are aqua blue. Her face is less visible. Her headband also has a white and electric green pattern.

Background[]

Just Dance 2/Greatest Hits (Wii)/Best Of[]

The routine takes place in front of a blurry amusement park with a glowing ride that resembles the London Eye and many other lights in shades of pink, red, fuchsia and purple that constantly glow and fade away. The floor is reddish and reflects the background, and the corners of the screen are black.

At the beginning of the song, several blurry fireworks in shades of red and violet burst. Since the beginning of the first verse, many 2D pink bubbles with a thin, light pink outline float behind the coach and fall down. As soon as the pre-chorus starts, the lights in the background glow up more and with faster intervals until the chorus ends. Whenever the coach performs her Gold Moves, the background glows red. During the chorus, many fireworks in shades of pink and violet burst with a different animation from that of the previous ones. At the end, more fireworks in shade of white and blue burst.

Just Dance: Greatest Hits (Xbox 360)[]

In the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the background is slightly less blurry and in darker shades, the ride is bigger, the floor is darker and there is more black fading around the screen.

The fireworks at the beginning come in a wider variety of colors (including light blue, yellow and orange) and burst more slowly, there are no bubbles behind the coach, the glowing interval does not speed up during the verses and the background does not glow red when the Gold Moves are performed. The fireworks in the chorus start bursting from the pre-chorus (when the coach opens and closes her arms), and they have the same textures and animations as those from the beginning. They also appear during the bridge. At the end, there are many more fireworks than the previous versions.

Remake[]

In the remake, the routine starts with a black background that is gradually revealed through its glowing intervals, which become more luminous; besides, the coach already starts walking in before the song starts (as opposed to previous versions, where she fades in).

The background is much darker, the ride only starts spinning after the beginning of the first verse and the bubbles have deeper colors. The glowing intervals in the pre-chorus and the chorus are much shinier, and the fireworks in the chorus come in more shades of red and violet and look more similar to the ones from Just Dance 2, Just Dance: Best Of, and the Wii version of Greatest Hits.

At the end, the background fades back to black, and the same happens to the coach right afterwards.

Gold Moves[]

There are 6 Gold Moves (5 in the remake) in this routine, all of which are the same:

All Gold Moves: Point your right hand to the screen while putting your left hand on your hip.
