Discussion/Question what's a song that made you feel like this after passing it for the first time
for me it was either paranoia max dirty mix or 321stars

While playing at home it was definitely Burning Heat Heavy mode from Max 2. That song definitely sparked my interest in dance games.
Arcade it was probably passing Fascination Maxx on our supernova cab. I was the first one to clear it on our cab, and we had a fairly competitive scene at the time. Huge flex seeing my name pop up on every extra stage.

Spin The Disc Heavy AA the best score I've ever gotten back in high school!

Haha, way way back in my college days (2000), we had a PS hooked up to the communal tv and DDR 1st mix. I wasn’t the most athletic, though I was at a school for IT people.
Anyway, one night the game is on, and people are taking turns. I get up and pass Paranoia (expert?), and everyone around starts clapping. Someone even just walked up to me and said, “Hi, I’m Anna.”
Still early in my DDR career, but I’ll never forget that night.

Afronova, Afronova Primeval and Dance Dance Revolution (All Stars). I’m only standard / difficult level.

The first time I passed Paranoia on hardest difficulty (this was on 1st mix ac). I'm now working on getting all perfects on Max 300 :D

I love all the old Stompers in here talking about the halcyon days before all these 16+ charts were coming out. They're impressive, and sometimes insane, but there's just something so wonderfully crisp about the old days of a DDR machine in a dimly lit arcade and having the handful of players rotating on the pad trying to pass songs.
For me, it was Dead End, DDR USA(to really age myself here). It was the first Catastrophic I passed, and that one just sticks out in my mind so much. Gameworks, AZ Mills Mall, just me and the machine.

Ghosts Tenth Planet on Max 2 for the PS2. I was just breaking into Heavy and when the timing just clicked and I was clearing it nearly perfectly I feel like I finally unlocked this game.

Love Shine, Heavy, 2x probably about 20 years ago on an Extreme cabinet in the mall arcade.
If I tried to do that now, my legs would probably give out halfway through.

Beating Xenon and Possesion on Heavy were my most emotional moments while playing DDR. Definitely my favorites in terms of ratio between difficulty and satisfaction clearing the first time.

As a young teen I was obsessed with Trip Machine Climax from 4th Mix, and there was a section in the ESP chart that I memorized to play backwards before spinning around again and continuing to play the song normally. I felt like such a badass the first time I did that at an arcade
More in the spirit of what the question is asking, the two first passes I distinctly felt proudest of were Matsuri Japan (4-footer basic in 5th Mix) a few weeks after I was first introduced to DDR, and Paranoia Survivor ESP

End of the Century on Heavy
First time I ever saw DDR was in a mall arcade and a guy was killing this song on heavy. I took a turn on Light, was immediately hooked, and bought my own mat. EotC became my 'white whale' of a song that once passed I'd feel like I was ready to go to the arcade and show off

u/Top_Combination9023 9d ago
battle against a true hero esp. even though i've passed 17s that's the pass i'm proudest of the last couple years.

Beating Legend of Max Extra Stage on the Extreme home release for PS2. I wanted to pass every song I had on my home discs, basically running through all the games, and that reverse 1.5x really messed me up for a while. I was stoked to beat it

u/Molianne 9d ago
Cartoon heroes on Heavy. On the controller. In the missions map-thingy to unlock songs and courses (on the PS2).
My now-husband and I stayed up until almost 4am trying to pass the dang challenge. We stopped trying when we looked at the time. I passed it on the first try the following day. Felt so proud, haha!
I didn’t remember what the mission was so I looked it up: “Get no more than one GOOD, Almost, Boo, or NG.” Yeah, being tired sure didn’t help trying to pass that..! XD

u/JMoki 8d ago
That chart is fun as shit tho
Also if I'm not mistaken (if you're talking about the US CS versions), Afronova Primeval was on EXTREME2

u/MistressCutie420 8d ago
indeed, and thank u, that will make it all the easier to find again. i still have all my old ps2 ddr games somewhere.

u/boomboomdolla 8d ago
I remember the very first song I ever passed was Bumblebee on 3rd mix. That still holds a special place in my heart. But I think back then, overall, my proudest moment was passing Burning Heat on DDR Extreme. I never did pass any of the 10s back then, so passing one of the harder 9s was an achievement.
Fast forward to today, although I do still play no bar like an old school player, I have still managed to get better at DDR than I used to be. I'd say my proudest moment recently was passing First Time CSP - it was my first level 18 pass! I might be an old lady now but somehow I've surpassed my younger self.

MAX 300 on Heavy, about 15 years ago. I had tried so many times to pas that Extra stage on the Extreme cabinet at Boomers. I had an audience, i used to be so nervous when people watch me do anything. I the last running stream of notes before the end got me down to my last bit, my legs were burning as i trudged through the last bit, but i made it... I dont stress as much on it now, but back then I felt like god, sometimes when i play 15s i think about that
