"Idealistic" by Digitalism is featured on Just Dance 2, Just Dance Now (for players who subscribed before April 9, 2024), and Just Dance+. It was also featured on Just Dance Unlimited and 舞力无限, but it was removed on August 1 and 2, 2024 respectively, due to licensing constraints.
Appearance of the Dancer[]
Original[]
The coach is a female robot. Her head, arms and legs are black with a thin purple outline. Her head has three ovals, one on her head and two on her ears, and her arms and legs have many light blue stripes with a glow that pulses along with the beat. Her torso has other light blue stripes and is transparent, making her limbs look as if they were floating.
Before the song starts, she appears on the screen with a fast-blinking, vortex-like animation.
When she hits flying cubes, the stripes on her body flash lilac and blue for a brief moment.
When she kneels down, her stripes and outline gradually change colors, going through a spectrum before going back to normal. The second time she gets back up, she quickly flashes yellow and blue.
After that, several light blue and fuchsia silhouettes generate and move behind her. Most of them are not synced with the coach’s moves, as some of them anticipate them and others do them later.
When she turns around with her arms stretched, a pink glowing cube outline appears on her hand.
When she shakes her body to the rhythm, her stripes and outline quickly flash and change color. The second time this happens, the light blue and fuchsia silhouettes return.
At the end of the song, her stripes and outline flash in different colors again; after that, she rigidly bends over and her whole body (except for her glove) gets darker.
Remake[]
In the remake, no notable differences can be seen, except for her stripes being brighter.
Besides, the light blue and fuchsia silhouettes that sometimes appear behind her body are a bit less blended into each other, and the cube outlines are in a higher resolution.
At the end, the screen turns black as soon as she bends over.
Background[]
Original[]
The background is a very dark blue scenery with pink convergent lines rising from below. Under the coach, blue rectangles light up according to the rhythm of the song. At some points of the choreography, it looks like she uses her right hand as a weapon and throws a cube.
Remake[]
In the remake, the lines under the coach’s feet have a faded effect and follow the music. Sometimes, the scenery turns pink.
Gold Moves[]
There are 4 Gold Moves in the routine, all of which are the same:
All Gold Moves: While having your hands up in a 90° pose, shake them while slightly leaning to the left.

Trivia[]
- In Ubisoft’s press release announcing the removal of specific songs from Just Dance Now and Just Dance Unlimited, the song is mistakenly credited to Duck Sauce.[3]
- Idealistic and Satisfaction (Isak Original Extended) are the first two maps in the Just Dance series with a robot as the coach.
- Idealistic is the first routine where the pictogram color matches the glove color and the props color matches the main body color.
- In all games that feature Idealistic, the menu icon displays the coach’s glove on her left hand.
- Four pictograms are in a brighter color compared to the others.
- Plus, they have errors. Three of them have their head slightly distorted to the bottom-left corner, while the other’s head is slightly distorted at the bottom.
- In promotional content for Just Dance 2 and in the preview gameplay, the background had floating, spinning triangles and the blue bars had better quality and different animations.
- The pictograms were different, too, as they were colored cyan instead of magenta.
- Also, as seen in the preview, the first two Gold Moves were not originally counted as moves.
- The pictograms were different, too, as they were colored cyan instead of magenta.
- As of an unknown date, the preview audio for the remake has been updated: it originally used to play the EDM part after the line "Near!", but then it was changed to play the first chorus.
