Background
Just Dance 3 (Wii/PS3)
The routine takes place in a savanna in the middle of Africa. At the start of the routine it's dark. As the song progresses, the sun rises. When it is low on the horizon, the halo effect is present. At some points in the routine, silhouettes of walking giraffes and flying birds appear. Since the beginning of the first verse, the sun pulsates to the beat. During the entire song, the whole background undulates of heat.
At the beginning and the end, the coaches appear and disappear with an erasing effect accompanied by a fitting sound effect.
Just Dance 3 (Xbox 360)
In the Xbox 360 version, the sun is shinier and the environment is darker. The halo effect is more clear and realistic. The pulsating sun effect is more noticeable. Additionally, some animations are different and there are more flying birds.
At the beginning and the end, the coaches appear and disappear with a standard fading transition, as opposed to the Wii and PS3 version.
Remake
The background in the remake is based on the Wii/PS3 version but the colors are more clear and darker. The halo effect is more visible. Additionally, the sun no longer pulsates.
Gold Moves
There are 3 Gold Moves in this routine:
Gold Moves 1 and 2: Hit your leg with your hands. Gold Move 1 is a left-to-right Wave Gold Move. They happen consecutively.
Gold Move 3: Touch your partner's hands one-by-one, then put your right leg out and stay that way.

Trivia
- The cover used in-game has a faster tempo compared to the original song.
- Pata Pata was released on Just Dance Unlimited to celebrate the beginning of Africa Month. This makes Pata Pata the sixth pre-Just Dance 2016 map since That’s Not My Name to be released in Just Dance Unlimited outside of an event, after Qia La Yong Yuan OK - Future Underworld Mix, Tui Zhi Ge, Scream & Shout, Venus, Me And My Broken Heart, and It’s Not Unusual.
- The Just Dance 3 and early remake pictograms that contain arrows are translucent instead of opaque.
- On the Wii and PS3 versions of Just Dance 3, the coach selection images are taken from the menu icon; on the Xbox 360 version, instead, they are in different poses.
- The assets for the remake are based off the latter versions.
- In the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance 3, the coach selection images are mirrored, resulting in their gloves to be on their left hands.
- In a pictogram on Just Dance Unlimited, the top of the head has been cut out.
