Starships

"Starships" by is featured on , (for players who subscribed before April 9, 2024), and . It was also featured on and , but was removed on August 1 and 2, 2024, respectively. It also appeared on via All Stars Mode prior to the shutdown of the feature on February 28, 2023. The song can be also found in the files.
The song also has an alternate routine titled "Charleston Version".
==Appearance of the Dancer==
The dancer is a woman named Oneeka, who wears a purple dress with puffy yellow sleeves. There are stripes on one sleeve and dots on the other. On her waist, she has a big light blue ribbon. She has peach pink-and-aqua blue hair with hot pink, blue, and orange flowers on it. She also has black high-heeled boots, and light blue socks that have the appearance of glaciers. Her makeup is visible and consists of blue eyeshadow. Her skirt is dark purple and covered by a black skeleton of what looks like an umbrella over a yellow tulle skirt. Her glove has a ribbon on it that has a similar color to the glove itself.
==Background==
The map takes place inside the mouth of what seems to be a monster. The background is a blue sky with clouds and unrealistic (almost cartoony) metallic-looking rainbows with the colors (in-order) yellow, orange, pink, purple, and darker purple. Oneeka is standing on a flying pink candy-resembling platform that, like the rainbows, looks metallic-looking. 
When the chorus starts and "Starships" is sung the platform flies upwards to a pink sky with hot air balloons and blimps. When it reaches the top there is a background similar to the one at the bottom. It then floats down again and the process repeats itself once. After it repeats itself, the platform flies towards the screen and out of a monster’s mouth. 
When "We’re higher than a ..." is sung, the monster rolls its eyes and the dancer moves far away from the monster. The background turns into a passage with multiple flashing and colorful lights; most likely trying to be like in the music video. After the line has been sung thrice, Oneeka once again ends up on the platform and goes back into the mouth and back to the normal blue sky.
All of this repeats but when the bridge of the song begins the platform will instead fly into outer space after the background with many colors. It then flies up extremely fast passing the blue sky and the red one; it is also extremely fast when the platform comes down. The last verse is just like the others. After the song, Oneeka gets abducted by a spaceship that appears to be inside the monster, the monster zooms out to the background and winks.
==Sweat Mashup==
Starships has a Sweat Mashup on that can be unlocked for 5 Mojocoins.

===Classic===
*Oneekas name is likely a reference to Nicki Minajs birth name, which is Onika Tanya Maraj.

*The abduction effect at the start and the end is reused from Crazy Little Thing.
**Akin to Crazy Little Thing, the opening cutscene that shows the abducting animation is not seen in .
