"Hot N Cold" by Katy Perry is featured on Just Dance (where it was also on the demo), Just Dance: Greatest Hits, Just Dance Now, Just Dance Unlimited, 舞力无限, and Just Dance+. The song was also available on Just Dance 2020 as part of All Stars Mode prior to the shutdown of the feature on February 28, 2023.
Appearance of the Dancer[]
Original[]
The dancer is The Bride, a woman with long curly red hair who is dressed like a bride. She wears a white bridal veil, a white dress with red floral bits, a red band around her waist, a red garter on her left leg, red gloves, and a pair of white heels. She also wears a wedding ring. As opposed to every other coach in Just Dance, her skin tone is yellow, to differentiate her from her dress.
Remake[]
In the remake, The Bride's skin tone has been changed to white and her hair is now in a shade of hot pink. Her gloves, waist band, and garter are also in hot pink, and her wedding gown and bridal veil are now tinted pink, with the floral bits of her dress now hot pink. Her face is now less visible.
Background[]
Just Dance[]
The routine takes place in the Glimpse of Broken Hearts, a room with pink crystal walls with shades of red and white colours. There are also sparkling lights on the walls.

In the Wii version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the background has more of a pink glow.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Hot N Cold is the first song by Katy Perry in the series.
- Hot N Cold was one of the first songs to have been revealed for Just Dance.
- On Just Dance, the song is titled as Hot N Cold (Chick Version), because the word "b**ch" is replaced by "chick" in the lyrics. This makes Hot N Cold (Chick Version) the first clean version of a song to be used in Just Dance.
- In the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the song is named Hot N Cold (Rock Version). Despite the Rock Version wasn't used in the game. However, in the Wii version, it is simply called Hot N Cold.
- It continues to be referred to as "(Chick Version)" on Just Dance Unlimited, Just Dance Now, and Just Dance+.
- On the Amazon page for Just Dance, the song title is spelled as "Hot n’ Cold".[3]
- Additionally, the song is mentioned between Cotton Eye Joe and Dare in the songlist, despite it being sorted alphabetically.
- In the Wii version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the title is spelled as "Hot’n Cold."
- On Just Dance, the word "you’re" from "now you’re plain" is misspelled as "your".
- Also, in the line "And you overthink", the word "overthink" is shown as "always think".
- In the Wii version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the lyrics are out of sync during the entire song.
- This also happens several times with the Xbox 360 version.
- Additionally, "Overthink" appears as "Over think", the line "And you" on Wii appears as two separate lines on Xbox 360, and "Got a case" does not appear at all on Xbox 360, while "Bipolar" appears as "Bi-polar" on Wii.
- This also happens several times with the Xbox 360 version.
- In the Just Dance credits, the "B**ch" in the name of Katy Perry’s song publisher is censored with the I letter being replaced with an asterisk.
- However, in the Just Dance Unlimited credits, it is fully censored as "*****".
Routine[]
- Hot N Cold is the only map in Just Dance to have all of its moves featured in Puppet/Party Master Modes, except the ones that occur after the bridge.
- Hot N Cold is the only routine to be represented by two Stickers on Just Dance 2020: one of just The Bride for the Just Dance page, and one with her All Stars Mode planet for Just Dance 2020.
- A snippet of the routine is displayed on Video Killed the Radio Star’s TV screen during the chorus.
- On the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the coach selection image is different from the one in the Wii version. She is reversed and directly cropped from the extraction, rather than being drawn manually like every other coach selection image in Just Dance 3, Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of, and Just Dance Wii 2.
- This is also the case with Baby Don’t Stop Now.
- In Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the pictograms are in the style of Just Dance 4 instead of Just Dance 2 or Just Dance 3.
- This is also the case with Girlfriend in Just Dance: Greatest Hits and Just Dance Wii 2.
- In the Wii version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, there is an additional pictogram that depicts the coach raising her arms towards her head. This pictogram is not seen in the Xbox 360 version of the game.
- It also appears in the remake.
- In Just Dance: Greatest Hits, this pictogram appears once on Xbox 360 but is used twice on Wii. This also happens in the remake.
- Because Hot N Cold has "Tear It Up" as a Puppet Master Mode caption, So What’s caption of the same name was later changed to "Angry Girl".
- The Bride’s avatar has a different hairstyle, and presented with white skin, in spite of her skin being yellow in Just Dance and Just Dance: Greatest Hits.
- Additionally, in Just Dance Now/Unlimited, the avatar’s color scheme has not been changed to match the new one.
- In the remake, The Bride was originally designed to have red hair and gloves, and the dress was more pointed to a shade of pinkish red; this was eventually changed.
- In the Just Dance Now files, there is a regular pictogram that is similar to the Gold Move one, suggesting that the Gold Moves were meant to appear three times instead of six.
- This pictogram is used in Just Dance 4 Mashups and Puppet Master Modes.
- When The Bride appears in Birthday’s Mashup, the transition is not smooth, with her appearing abruptly.
- The Bride reappears as a playable coach in Sugar.
- As of October 17, 2019, the album coach has been updated in order to show her entire body.
- The Bride reappears in Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) wearing Rasputin’s beard as a reference to her appearance in Sugar.
- The Just Dance version of Hot N Cold makes a brief appearance in the video "Ubisoft Paris - 30 years of games".[4]
- The Bride once again reappears as the coach of Sweet but Psycho. In this routine, her appearance has been drastically changed, and her pairing with Rasputin is implied to have ended.
- On the Just Dance+ release announcement, the routine is not revealed through a Just Dance 2023 Edition gameplay, but rather with the Just Dance Now preview.[5]
- The Bride returns in Payphone.
