r/JustDance

I have recently worked on this Sara's fan art and I've done it (hate rendering those f******* clouds). No, I didn't use my old barbie as a pose reference ⚆_⚆

I've been a Linkin Park fan since I was a small child, so naturally I was ecstatic to hear that in the end was being added to plus but after finally having the time to give it a try, it's disappointing..

So since Rhythm Heaven Groove came out recently, I was thinking "what would happen if I tried to sort all of the minigames into the planets of the Just Dance universe-?" ... Basically what if Rhythm Heaven and Just Dance were in the same universe? Which minigames would take place in which Danceverse?

It could work, right?

So. Here are my results.

I might actually make this into a youtube video... I could go into much more detail, especially for the ones in the last tier...

Some of the minigames are too abstract to have a clear place, or could fit into multiple Danceverses- Also most of the Remixes obviously feature a bunch of different minigames. The minigames usually clash with each other visually and thematically (for my purposes) too much for the remix itsself to be definitively set on one singular planet. So unless the Remixes have like a strong visual theming that could make all featured minigames be on the same Just Dance Planet, I would put them into that last tier.

I didn't include and Rythm Heaven Groove minigames, because the tierlist didnt include them yet. I might post an updated version once the tierlist is updated.

Anyways, I believe Just Dance could majorly benefit from doing a collab with Rhythm Heaven. Rhythm Heaven has fun characters and great songs in their soundtrack and awesome concepts that I would wanna see fleshed out into full Just Dance maps.

Alternatively, Just Dance could explore its word-building and stories and lore more with a Rhythm-Heaven-like spin-off. I bet the production of something like that would be much cheaper than a typical yearly edition of Just Dance...

In my mind, Rhythm Heaven is basically already part of Just Dance anyways...

Branching out into different ideas and concepts that aren't motion control dancing (and require them to buy 40+ music licenses each year) at the side could provide the franchise much needed funds and noteriety. There is literally so much that can be done with the world and characters the JD Team has created over the years. It sucks that the potential of the series is ignored by the big chair people.

(I'm honestly surprized the IP has not yet spawned an exploitative Gacha Game like Cookie Run Kingdom or Genshin Impact. Its like literally a perfect candidate for that sort of milking.)

So in the latter part of the song done for me by Charlie Puth and Kehlani there is something odd that happens. In the Just Dance version he says "baby honestly" twice. Whereas in the actual version from the album he says "baby honestly (with kehlani singing it with him) tell me what you've done for me" and then the song goes how it's supposed to go accept it doesn't again because in the 3rd chorus he says the same thing but in the just dance version he says the 3rd chorus twice. One by himself and the other with Kehlani then the song ends, whereas in the actual version from the album he says it once with Kehlani then the song ends. Why is that? Why can't the Just Dance team keep their songs that they chose to put in their game the exact same way the actual songs are?
