"Wannabe" by the Spice Girls is featured on Just Dance and Just Dance Wii.
The song was planned to return on Just Dance+ on May 25, 2023 as part of Season 2: Showdown, but it was ultimately removed from the release schedule for unknown reasons.[4] The song was later found in the files of the service.[5]
Appearance of the Dancer[]
Just Dance[]
The coach is a woman named Emmy.[6] She has red hair, part of which is tied in two ponytails with two teal blue hair bands. She wears a teal blue collar necklace, a teal blue oversized short-sleeved sweater with a large red-and-white peace sign on it and a larger peace sign repeated behind the original one, red bracelets on her wrists, red stockings that cut below the knee, and blue over-sized platform shoes with white laces and a white sole.
Beta[]
Originally, Emmy was going to wear an oversized short-sleeved sweater that instead has a Union Jack symbol, and she had no socks and her hair bands were thinner.
Just Dance Wii[]
In Just Dance Wii, her colors are brighter. The red parts of her outfit, including her hair, are in a deeper shade, and the teal blue ones are more greenish; besides, her bracelets have been recolored to match her sweater. She also has a greenish outline.
Remake[]
In the remake, she has a more realistic appearance, with her face being less visible, and her color scheme is in deeper shades. Her outline is now blue-greenish.
Background[]
Just Dance[]
The routine takes place in a room with a dark blue wall. The wall contains white dots of varying sizes; some of them disappear and reappear. There are also royal blue light-up panels on the ceiling and floor.
Just Dance Wii[]
In Just Dance Wii, the bottom panel now has white spotlights. The dots now glow and the floor is more reflective.
Remake[]
In the remake, the room is now more rounder. The dots have been removed and replaced with particles that move around. The lights on the bottom panel now flash to the beat. During the refrains, the third verse, and the outro, the room turns purple.
Gold Moves[]
There are 2 Gold Moves in the Just Dance Wii and remade versions of this routine:
Gold Move 1: Put out both your arms to the sides, as if to express confusion, and stomp your right leg.
Gold Move 2: Point to the screen with both arms and stomp your right leg.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Wannabe is the first song by the Spice Girls in the Just Dance series.
- In the Amazon page for Just Dance, the group is credited as "The Spice Girls".[7]
- In Just Dance, in the third chorus, the lyrics read "So tell you what I want, what I really really want" instead of the correct "So tell me what you want, what you really really want".
- This was fixed on Just Dance Wii.
- On Just Dance and Just Dance Wii, the title is misspelled as "Wanna Be".
- This mistake is fixed in the files for the remake.[1]
- The song has a test map where Julia Spiesser in the beta Heart of Glass outfit and freestyles during the behind the scenes.
Routine[]
- As opposed to every other coach from Just Dance that returned on Just Dance 4 Mashups or Puppet Master Modes, Emmy’s coach extraction does not have chroma key, as it has been directly reused from Just Dance Wii. This is the only case in Just Dance 4 Mashups or Puppet Master Modes.
- Emmy's shirt was originally going to have the Union Jack flag instead of the peace symbol. This was changed sometime in development.
- Wannabe marked the first time a map (either new or returning) was removed from the release schedule of a Just Dance season after being formally announced.
- The removal was announced on May 19, 2023 (a week before its scheduled release), and Toy and Waterloo were ultimately released as replacements.
- On the same day, the preview gameplay for Wannabe was made private, along with those for Euphoria and Why Oh Why.
- The removal was announced on May 19, 2023 (a week before its scheduled release), and Toy and Waterloo were ultimately released as replacements.
- Emmy’s name is likely a reference to Spice Girls member Emma Bunton, also known as Baby Spice.
- Emmy’s shoes are known as "Spice Girls", which the group is named after.
- In the Just Dance menu, Emmy’s shirt is blue and not green (like in the actual gameplay).
- In Just Dance Wii, some background sounds that are reminiscent of a spaceship can be heard during the preparation screen.
- In the remake, the background looks very similar to those of Party Master Modes.
- Before the remake was added into the Just Dance Now files, the preview.justdancenow.com link for the song would generate only an extraction of the coach.
- In the Just Dance Now files, the third bundle of the song appears as "Wannabe 4.zip" rather than "Wannabe 3.zip".[citation needed]
- A sticker of Emmy appears on Just Dance 2020.
- In the trailer for Season 2: Showdown, Emmy is featured in her Just Dance Wii form rather than in her remade form.
- Emmy’s name can be found in the localization files for the Just Dance service.
