Background
The background is a white-and-pink paneled floor with squares. There are also stars and lights that flicker in rhythm. At some parts of the choreography, you can see sparks coming out from the cliffs.
Mashup
What Makes You Beautiful has a Mashup which is available on all platforms on Just Dance 4.
Gold Move: Simply punch and with your opposite hand, hold your arm. P1 and P4 punch upward while P2 and P3 punch downward. P1 and P3 use their left hand, and P2 and P4 use their right hand.
In Just Dance 4, the preview audio uses the first half of the chorus; however, in Just Dance Wii U and Just Dance Now, it uses the second half.
Classic
What Makes You Beautiful is the first all-male Dance Crew in the series.
It is also the only Dance Crew from a past Just Dance game to be featured on Just Dance Wii U.
What Makes You Beautiful is the first multiplayer routine in the series where the pictograms have the same color as the coachesā gloves.
Both code names for What Makes You Beautiful are the longest in the main series, with 21 letters.
What Makes You Beautiful is the only non-solo routine to have a Puppet Master Mode in Just Dance 4.
After receiving over 98 million views on the GamesNewsOfficial channel, What Makes You Beautiful has been the most-watched Just Dance routine in the series.[6][7]
Some new sound effects are added in Just Dance Wii U.
On Just Dance 2015, P2ās avatar no longer has his black collar.
A parody of What Makes You Beautiful appears in the Hebrew TV show ×××¢××× ××××.[8], where the original coaches are replaced by real-life recordings of three men and one woman in black suits and light blue shirts, whose faces are replaced by cartoony caricatures through CGI.
Oddly, the HUD is based off the one from Just Dance 2015.
Besides, the coachās moves have been slightly slowed down while he fades away.
Puppet Master Mode
There is a glitch in the Puppet Master Mode: when the Extreme Version coach reappears at the end, the pictograms do not slide in until the dancer appears herself, resulting in the pictograms appearing all of a sudden.
