General Game Questions
 
Q: I noticed in your screenshots that multiplayer modes that have more than 2 players all show the song difficulty as being the same. Why is that?
A: If you are in Battle Mode on Xbox Live™ or in your home, everyone participating will have the same difficulty for the song chosen. This is unlike Versus in the normal Game Mode where players can choose their own difficulty. On Xbox Live™, the difficulty setting is used to match you with other players who are currently online.
 
Q: How many dance pads can be plugged into the Xbox at one time?
A. Ultramix supports the use of all 4 controller ports available on the Xbox system. You will be able to plug 4 pads in at one time.
 
Q: Wow 4 pads at once! Can we play Versus-Doubles!?
A. Ultramix only supports for the use of all four pads in Battle Mode . Versus mode is the same as previous DDR mixes, where it's only two players against each other on two pads.
 
Q: Are there going to be additional characters?
A. The characters of Afro and Lady are the only characters available for Ultramix.
 
Q: Will Ultramix be available for other systems?
A. At this time, Ultramix will only be available for the Xbox system.

Song Questions
 
Q: Can we use our own songs and/or mixes with our own steps?
A. Ultramix does not support the custom soundtrack ability of the Xbox system, so you will be unable to use your own songs and create your own step-data. This also prevents users from uploading their own songs.
 
Q: Are there going to be song packs available on CD instead of Xbox Live™ for those people without a Broadband connection?
A. Currently, we have no plans to release any expansion CD's with additional songs for Ultramix.
