Background[]
This section is a stub. You can help by adding to it.
The routine starts with Si’ha Nova, doing her usual starting move for her own routine. As the song starts to play, the pictogram, which is dressed the same as her, appears in the step line, and as the pictograph jumps off on its usual position, it sweeps Si’ha Nova away and starts to take over her routine. As the song progresses, an array of backgrounds from previous songs in the series are used as the background for the song, which match the current depiction of the coach. Any people (or in the case of Kulikitaka, cats) in the background are replaced by more Pictomen, either copying its moves or replicating the people/cats they are replacing. One background shows in-game stuff showing "PERFECT" and the scoring meter.
Gold Moves[]
There is 1 Gold Move in this routine:
Gold Move: Put your left hand on your hip while raising your right hand up. The pictograph shown is the word "GOOD!" in the "Just Dance Bold" font, colored in red-orange in a red outline.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Walking on Sunshine is the fourth song to be covered by Top Culture in the series.
- The outro of the song is shortened by 23 seconds in-game.
- In pre-release builds of Just Dance 2023 Edition, the original artists were credited, despite the game still using the cover.
- This was fixed around the Australian release of the game.
Routine[]
- Walking on Sunshine is the first map in the series not to use pictograms regardless of whether they are turned on or off in the settings. Different objects from various maps of the whole Just Dance series replace the pictograms over the course of the song.
- Though there are some pictures that signify specific moves, like any picture related to the word “good” (or that says the word “good”) signifies that you have to do the gold move.
- Including both warm-up routines from Just Dance and Just Dance 2, it is the third map to not feature pictograms.
- Some of the pictograms alternate between a single object and animatics of an object that do not fit in a single pictogram canvas.
- At the end of the routine, actual pictograms are combined to spell the word "FIN" ("end" in French and Spanish).
- Walking on Sunshine and Wouldn’t It Be Nice are the fifth and sixth routines in the Just Dance series to break the fourth wall, after Futebol Crazy, Sexy And I Know It, You Spin Me Round (Like a Record), and Mr. Blue Sky.
- However, Walking on Sunshine breaks the fourth wall throughout the routine rather than just in one specific moment (in this case, by Picto turning themself into the in-game coach).
- All of the routines of the song are covered. However, the other two spinoff routines are shorter than it's main routine.
- The pictogram that replaces Si’Ha Nova is actually rendered in the video file.
- Unlike most pictograms from Just Dance 2 onwards, the pictograms for Walking on Sunshine have filenames consisting of only one letter and three digits (starting from "001" onwards). Some filenames also have one additional letter from "a" to "d" at the end.[1]
- The pictogram bar shows "WHOA" and "GOOD" when sung.
- The latter is always displayed in the "Just Dance Bold" or the "Just Dance Regular" font.
- Unused files containing an early cover and coach selection image can be found in the servers of the Just Dance service, along with a rehearsal video for an early choreography.
- In the preview thumbnail, Si’Ha Nova is displayed instead of Picto dressing up as her.
- However, Picto’s clones still replace her clones in the background.
- The first star on the score bar glitches on and off in the preview.
- The placement of the coaches in the ending scene was originally different, as seen in pre-release footage of the game.
- The routine can be spotted in the background of Can’t Stop the Feeling! (Danceverse Prince Version).
- On an unknown date in April 2023, If You Wanna Party and Walking on Sunshine were made available in the demo of Just Dance 2023 Edition, replacing Dynamite (Extreme Version) and Sweet but Psycho.
- Walking on Sunshine was the first Just Dance 2023 Edition routine on Just Dance Now where the phone cover is styled in a similar way to pre-Just Dance 2022 songs and not taken from their native game or 舞力无限 covers.
- However, the map background is slightly compressed vertically with the 舞力无限 album coach added in the center.
- On May 21, 2024, the official Just Dance Twitter account posts a meme photo featuring Rasputin and the Havana cookie in a hotel room, referencing the viral TikTok video "Four Seasons Orlando Hotel Baby".
