Mashup

Sign in to edit

Mashups are routines that consist of choreography from both previous Just Dance titles and those from the current game integrated into a single routine, first appeared in Just Dance 3. Until its latest appearance in Just Dance 2017, the feature underwent a lot of updates. Mashups were planned to be in Just Dance 2018 but were removed for unknown reasons.[citation needed] As of July 7, 2023, previously-released Mashups have returned in 舞力无限, where they are referred to as "Mashup Versions" (串烧版本) and treated similar to Alternate Routines.

Description[]

Dance Mashups are routines that consist of dancers from previous Just Dance titles and the current game is all joined into one single routine, but not every dancer. There are two types of Mashups: regular and sweat. The original dancer from the song usually appears at the beginning and end of the routine, sometimes even during the middle of the song, if the song is Solo. Before Just Dance 2015, if the Classic routine was a Duet or Dance Crew, a random Solo dancer takes the Duets/Dance Crew’s place; or sometimes nothing replaced the dancers. This was changed in Just Dance 2015, with the reintroduction of Duet Mashups, which were only in Just Dance 3 before, and the introduction of Dance Crew Mashups. Also, Just Dance 2015 introduced themed Mashups, in which the dancer selection would be determined by a specific category, such as Pink Hair. In Just Dance 2016, some mashups exclusive for 8-gen consoles and Wii only. Also, on 8th-gen consoles, there are Mashups with no theme that can be unlocked depending on which month it is unlockable for. Additionally, Sweat Mashups are absent from Just Dance 2016. Mashups return one last time in Just Dance 2017. However, only Solo and Duet Mashups are available. They are only exclusive to 8th-gen consoles, PC, and Wii. Also, Sweat Mashups return.

Just Dance 3[]

Just Dance 3 is the first game to have this mode. There were three kinds of Mashups in the game, Solo Mashups, Duet Mashups, and Sweat Mashups, which are always Solo.

Icon[]

The icon has a random color which usually corresponds to its background color, unlike Barbra Streisand (Mashup), which uses its own album background. There are five coaches seen on the icon that are in between black lines that are cropped if they are too big to fit in the lines. Usually, the order of the coaches goes like this. The first coach appears in the middle, the second coach appears in the second row, the third coach appears on the last row, the fourth coach appears on the first row, and the last coach appears on the fourth row.

Background[]

Solo Mashups (Wii/PS3)[]

The background is kaleidoscopic with a random background color.

Solo Mashups (Xbox 360)[]

In the Xbox 360 version, the reflections of the coaches are not visible and the background is slightly darker.

Duet Mashups (Wii/PS3)[]

Duet Mashups have two reflections at once due to having two coaches shown at once.

Duet Mashups (Xbox 360)[]

In the Xbox 360, the kaleidoscope has reflections of roses, not the coaches, and the background is slightly darker.

Sweat Mashups (Wii/PS3)[]

Sweat Mashups reuse the background of I Was Made For Lovin’ You (Sweat Version).

Sweat Mashups (Xbox 360)[]

On the Xbox 360, the background appears how it is on the Xbox 360 version of I Was Made For Lovin’ You (Sweat Version).

Just Dance 4[]

In Just Dance 4, Duet Mashups and Sweat Mashups were absent in this game. It is also the only game that omits the Gold Moves.

Icon[]

The icon is the same one as its classic routine, with its logo appearing on the right.

Background[]

The background has lots of rainbow lights with multiple reflections of the dancer and rainbow smoke at the back.

PS3 & Wii U Exclusive Mashups[]

Wii U Exclusive Mashups[]

Just Dance 2014[]

In Just Dance 2014, Sweat Mashups are back, and some Mashups are unlocked in a specific month with internet connection.

Icon[]

The icon is a black background with a yellow or green disco ball in the middle that glows in the form of a spotlight. In the front is the starting coach for the Mashup. If the starting coach is a Duet, Dance Crew, or if the Alternate Routine coach is not it, then P1 will be the coach shown on the icon and the coach selection screen.

Background[]

The background is a colored room with floating squares corresponding to the background color. There is a disco ball in the middle that sparkles and the color corresponds to the background color. There are lines surrounding the disco ball which are not the same as the corresponding background color. They also flash to the beat of the song. When the background color is orange, the lines are green. When the background color is purple, the lines are blue. When the background color is blue, the lines are purple. When the background color is green, the lines are orange. There are also coaches on the walls that are blurry doing poses from their original choreography. The following coaches that appear on the wall are:

The room then moves to the right and switches the coach with the coach that appears in the background, just not the same coach that appeared in the background.

Just Dance 2015[]

In Just Dance 2015, Duet Mashups are back with the addition of Dance Crew Mashups. Mashups also now have themes. Less Mashups needed to be unlocked through specific months. On the Wii and Wii U, there is a code that allows you to unlock Monthly Mashups even nowadays. The code is "Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, B".

Icon[]

The icon has two diamonds. One in the corners, which is brighter, and the other one in the middle, which is darker. The color of the diamonds corresponds to the first background color that appears in the Mashup. Unlike Never Can Say Goodbye's Mashup, the coach in the middle is the starting coach, but unlike Summer's Mashup, the starting coach does not appear on the icon if they are the coach of the Classic routine. All future games use this type of icon.

Background[]

The background is a bunch of triangles zooming out. As seen on the icon, the one in the middle is darker and the one on the corners is brighter.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • Party Rock Anthem and Apache (Jump On It) both have the most appearances in Mashups, with 21.
    • However, this is only the case for Apache (Jump On It) if the unused Mashups the coach appears in are counted; otherwise, he appears in 19 Mashups.
  • Crazy Christmas is the only coach to appear in at least one Mashup in every Just Dance game since Just Dance 3.
  • Da Funk (Sweat Mashup) is the only Mashup in the series that does not repeat any dancers, except for starting and ending with the same dancer.
    • Besides, Da Funk (Sweat Mashup) and You’re On My Mind are the only two Mashups where no moves are repeated.
  • Baby Zouk’s Mashup has the least number of routines, with only four being featured.
  • Just A Gigolo (Mashup) has the highest number of unique dancers, with 22.
  • Just Dance 2016 is the only game where no Mashup features an unused coach.
  • In Just Dance 2014 and Just Dance 2015 Mashups are pieced together in-game, with each dancer being its own video in the game files rather than the Mashup being one long video of all the dancers, with the exception of You’re On My Mind. All other games in the series use one long video.
  • Due to the shutdown of the Just Dance 2014 and Just Dance 2015 servers for all consoles, monthly Mashups for both games are no longer available to unlock.
    • However, monthly Mashups that have already been unlocked remain playable.
  • In Just Dance 2015, the score screens for Mashups show the album coach for the Classic routine of the respective song (for example, on the score screen for the Mashup of Papaoutai, the Classic album coach appears). On Just Dance 2016 and Just Dance 2017 for 7th-generation consoles, instead, the Mashup album coach from the 8th-generation versions of the games is shown instead.
  • In December 2016, the Mashup sections from Just Dance 2016 and Just Dance 2017 were removed for the Xbox One, Wii U, PS4, and PC. Mashups from Just Dance 2017 are still accessible through the "Favorites" section. They were added back to the menu at a later point.
  • In the Wii version of Just Dance 2016 and Just Dance 2017, the background may glitch: when this happens, the moving hexagons at the sides have a rounded effect, as if the screen was seen from a sphere.

Just Dance 4[]

  • Just Dance 4’s Mashup background was also used for the Extreme routines of Good Feeling and Run the Show, as well as in Puppet Master Mode.
    • However, Puppet Master mode applies different animations and light effects, and the coaches’ reflections are not kaleidoscopic.
      • Good Feeling and Run the Shows’ Extreme Versions also use the original background in a slightly dissimilar way.
  • In Mashups, the dancers’ reflections sometimes exceed the boundaries.
    • This is not the case with the Xbox 360 version of the game, where coaches are not reflected on the background.

Just Dance 2014[]

Just Dance 2015[]

  • Due to a glitch, some Monthly Mashups may have to be unlocked at a cost of 20 Mojo Coins, which is the cost of a Mojo Coin-unlockable Mashup.[citation needed]
    • In addition, by accessing the Mashup via the JD Wall, the game will freeze after a few minutes.
  • The background of Mashups was supposed to change color each time a different dancer appears. However, this could not happen due to technical limitations, and this only happened on You’re On My Mind.
    • Despite this, the background color will change each time a Mashup is being replayed.
  • On the Wii version of the game, after playing a Mashup, the screen will flash light blue for a split second before switching to the scoring screen.[citation needed]
    • This is due to the game unloading the background, as the game will always place a blue screen behind routines.
  • Some Mashups have a bug with the Gold Moves, where the sound effect that plays before performing the move is delayed, but not the one that sounds after performing it. As a result, both sounds are played at the same time.[1][2][3][4]
    • However, only the visual effect for the latter can be seen.

Just Dance 2016[]

  • Starting with Just Dance 2016, Mashups no longer began and/or ended with the original dancer, even if he or she fit the theme.

Just Dance 2017[]

  • In Just Dance 2017, Mashups are only available on the 8th-Gen consoles, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Wii. Xbox 360 and PS3 have no Mashups available.

Just Dance 2018[]

  • Some unused background textures can be found in the Just Dance 2018 files.
