Dance Quest (Just Dance 2016/2017)

Dance Quest is a feature on , , , and .
==Description==
Dance Quest in , which is exclusive to eighth-generation consoles, are completely different from their previous incarnation in . Each quest is now a cup of sorts, similar in some way to , which pits players against AI’s in a set group of 3 songs per Dance Quest. The objective of each quest is to get into the top 3 at the end of each quest.
At the end of each song, points are given out, 12 points for first place, 9 points for 2nd place and so on. At the end of all 3 songs, the scores are tallied and the top 3 receive gold, silver and bronze finishes. In the case of ties, the full score (hidden and never shown in this mode) is the tie breaker. A player's highest ranked completed cup will be shown in the lower left corner of each completed quest preview picture in the color of the position the player finished the cup in (gold, silver or bronze).
Finishing a song as part of a Dance Quest counts as finishing it in Dance Party, unlocking the song's associated avatar. Furthermore, at the completion of each Dance Quest, the Dance Quest's icon is unlocked as an avatar, corresponding to the Dance Quest's name. For example, one unlocks a piece of cake as an avatar at the completion of the Dance Quest "Cake".
In , Dance Quests do not properly support local multiplayer; only one player's score can be counted on the Dance Quest leaderboard. Conversely, in , it is possible for players to compete against each other in addition to the AI.

==Trivia==
===General===
*Kaboom Pow, Break Free and Mr. Saxobeat are the first songs to be featured on more than one Dance Quest. Both Kaboom Pow and Break Free are in the Comics Dance Quest on , with Kaboom Pow appearing in Cake on and Break Free formerly appearing in Special Easter on . Mr. Saxobeat appears in Surfboard and Watermelon on .
*If alternate routines are played in Dance Quests prior to unlocking, then the score will be saved, but will not be playable again outside of the mechanism until unlocked.
*During early development, each quest was originally supposed to have four songs playable instead of three.:File:4 song dq proof.png
*The Royal Key, Mushroom, and Pine Cone quests were leaked through their avatars when the December songs of were released.
*There are multiple cover errors:
**The Castle quest cover shows an error; the cover for the quest lists the song in the following order; Maps, Better When I’m Dancin’, and Hey Ya. However, when you play the quest, Hey Ya will be the second song that'll be played while Better When I’m Dancin’ will be the third song.
**This is also the case for the Royal Key quest, as its cover lists the songs in the following order; Moves Like Jagger, Turn Up the Love, and Shut Up and Dance. However, Shut Up and Dance will be the second song while Turn Up the Love will be the third song.
**This also happens on the Summer Quest where the cover lists the songs in the following order; Summer, The World is Ours, and Aserejé (The Ketchup Song). However Aserejé (The Ketchup Song) will be the second song and The World is Ours will be the third song.
*Groove (P2)’s avatar in has the same name of the avatar of Let's Groove (P1) in .
*On , there are 3 difficulties, Dancer (Easy), Just Dancer (Normal) and Dance Master (Hard). In , a 4th difficulty was added being called Superstar (Expert).
*Completing the final on-disc Dance Quest in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd on any difficulty will automatically show the Credits.
======
*The only songs in the main track list of to not be part of a Dance Quest are Irish Meadow Dance, The Choice Is Yours, Born This Way (Nerd Version), Hit The Road Jack (Line Dance Version), and Want To Want Me (Couple Version).
======
*The only songs in the main track list of to not be part of a Dance Quest are All About Us, Bailar, Bonbon, Cola Song, Dragostea Din Tei, Hips Don't Lie, I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll, La Bicicleta, Little Swing, Run the Night, Scream & Shout, September, Te Dominar, What Is Love, Cake By The Ocean (Earphones Version), Cheap Thrills (Bollywood Version) , El Tiki (Trio Version), Hips Don’t Lie (Sumo Version), Lean On (Scarf Version), September (Disco Fitness Version), Sorry (Extreme Version), What Is Love (Car Version), and Worth It (Extreme Crew Version).
*Players are able to choose their desired coach on multiplayer routines when using a motion controller. When using a camera, players are only able to choose their desired coach if it's the first song of the quest; if it is the second or third song, players are randomly assigned a coach, and if they try to choose a different coach, they will be considered a new player and lose their progress.
*Due to DADDY being blocked in the Chinese version of , the Family Quest replaces it with Don’t Stop Me Now (Panda Version) and the High Energy Quest replaces it with RADICAL (Helmet Version). This is also the case on the Nintendo Switch.
======
*The routines from in the Dance Quests are subject to possible buffering. If they do buffer for longer than fifteen seconds, there will not be a message alerting that the servers are unavailable, which is the case outside of the Dance Quests. Instead, it will buffer indefinitely until the player exits the track.
