"Starships" by Nicki Minaj is featured on Just Dance 2014, Just Dance Now, Just Dance Unlimited, and 舞力无限. It also appeared on Just Dance 2020 via All Stars Mode prior to the shutdown of the feature on February 28, 2023.
The song also has an alternate routine titled "Charleston Version".
Appearance of the Dancer[]
The dancer is a woman that wears a purple dress with puffy yellow sleeves. There are stripes on one sleeve and dots on the other. On her waist, she has a big light blue ribbon. She has peach pink-and-dark blue hair with hot pink, blue, and orange flowers on it. She also has black high-heeled boots, and light blue socks that have the appearance of glaciers. Her makeup is visible and consists of blue eyeshadow. Her skirt is dark purple and covered by a black skeleton of what looks like an umbrella over a yellow tulle skirt. Her glove has a ribbon on it that has a similar color to the glove itself.
Background[]
The map takes place inside the mouth of what seems to be a monster. The background is a blue sky with clouds and unrealistic (almost cartoony) metallic-looking rainbows with the colors (in-order) yellow, orange, pink, purple, and darker purple. The dancer is standing on a flying pink candy-resembling platform that, like the rainbows, looks metallic-looking. When the chorus starts and "Starships" is sung the platform flies upwards to a pink sky with hot air balloons and blimps. When it reaches the top there is a background similar to the one at the bottom. It then floats down again and the process repeats itself once. After it repeats itself, the platform flies towards the screen and out of a monster’s mouth. When "We’re higher than a ..." is sung, the monster rolls its eyes and the dancer moves far away from the monster. The background turns into a passage with multiple flashing and colorful lights; most likely trying to be like in the music video. After the line has been sung thrice, the dancer will once again end up on the platform and go back into the mouth and back to the normal blue sky. All of this repeats but when the bridge of the song begins the platform will instead fly into outer space after the background with many colors. It then flies up extremely fast passing the blue sky and the red one; it is also extremely fast when the platform comes down. The last verse is just like the others. After the song, the dancer gets abducted by a spaceship that appears to be inside the monster, the monster zooms out to the background and winks.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Starships is the fourth song by Nicki Minaj in the series.
- The official clean version of the song is used in the game, in which "b**ches", "s**ts", "motherf**ker", and "f**k" are censored.
- However, in some trailers such as the UK Gamescom Trailer for Just Dance 2014 showing off the World Dance Floor, the official version of the song is used where the swears aren't censored.
- The lyric "Let's go get a wave" is misinterpreted as "Let's go get away".
- On Just Dance 2014, the lyric highlighting gets ahead of itself multiple times in all modes.
- This was fixed on Just Dance Unlimited and mostly fixed on Just Dance Now.
- The line “Have a drink, clink, found the Bud Light” is referenced in the ESRB website page about Just Dance 2020.[3]
- While the alternate routine was added to 舞力无限 in Season 18, Starships was added to 舞力无限 in Season 19. This marks the seventh time an alternate routine is released before its classic counterpart in 舞力无限, after Hips Don’t Lie, It’s You, Bad Romance, Ghostbusters, This Is How We Do, and Fancy.
- It is the eighth instance among all online music catalogs in the Just Dance series, after Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go in Just Dance Unlimited and the aforementioned.
