"Maniac" by Michael Sembello (covered by Studio Allstars in-game) was featured on Just Dance 2 as a downloadable track but became unavailable for purchase following the shutdown of the Wii Shop Channel on January 30, 2019. The song still remains playable on Just Dance: Summer Party.

Appearance of the Dancer[]

Original[]

The coach is a woman with curly plum hair. She wears a red bandana, a sky blue blouse tied to the waist, a plum one-piece leotard, royal purple socks, and a pair of teal shoes with red laces. She also has a red outline.

Remake[]

In the remake, the dancer’s face is less visible, and most of her glowing is removed. She is also more clear and slightly realistic.

Background[]

Original[]

The background is a blue room with lighting bulbs. Random light spots appear throughout the routine. Sometimes, rain falls from the ceiling in multiple directions.

Remake[]

In the remake, the room is darker, there are more floating light dots, and there are less light bulbs, which glow more. There is more of the dust rain, which is red again and fades away slower with a special sound playing whenever it falls.

Gold Moves[]

There are 4 Gold Moves in this routine:

Gold Moves 1, 2, and 4: Make a circle with both of your hands and bend backwards.
Gold Move 3: Make an arc starting from the bottom while leaning back.

Appearances in Mashups[]

Maniac is featured in the following Mashups:

Trivia[]

General[]

  • Maniac is the second song covered by Studio Allstars in the series.
  • Along with Flashdance... What A Feeling, Maniac is featured in Flashdance’s official soundtrack.
    • Due to rights, both songs are covered.
  • The line "Changing movement into light" is misinterpreted as "Changing woman into life".
  • The line "Between will and what will be" first appears divided as "Between/will and what will be". However, the second time it is sung, the line is divided as "Between will/and what will be".
  • Some lines/lyrics are incorrect either in the cover or in the lyrics displayed on screen. The line "On the ice-blue line of insanity", it's sung as "On the ice-bitten iron insanity" and written in the lyrics as "On the ice-build iron sanity".
  • Also, the line "It's a hard-won place of mystery", is sung as "It's a hard wooden place of mystery" and written in the lyrics as "It's a hard warm place of mystery"
  • The line "It's a push-shove world", is sung correctly, but written in the lyrics as "It's a push of the world"
  • The line "There's a cold kinetic heat, struggling, stretching for the beat" is sung as "There's a cold kinetic heat, struggling stretching for defeat" and written in the lyrics as "There's a cold connective heat, struggling stretching for defeat

Routine[]

  • There is a photo that shows the dancers from Professor Pumplestickle dancing in front of this background.
  • On Just Dance 2, the coach is outlined in red and the dust rain is red too, but on Just Dance: Summer Party, she is no longer outlined, and the dust is yellow.
  • The pictograms have amber arrows, which do not match up with the coach’s red glove.
  • In the remake, the coach fades away while she is performing the split move.
  • The arrows in the pictogram that comes after Gold Moves 1, 2 and 4 are semi-transparent in the middle.
  • There are similarities to the song and routine to the other song Flashdance... What A Feeling.
    • Both had clothes with similar leotards and curly hair.
    • Their gloves has similar color as their clothing but each are actually swapped.
    • Both of them are flexibility themed fitness. The last pose was doing a split. But on this routine, she slides down and stays like that until the song ends.
