## Dancer Statistics

### By intensity levels, difficulty levels and effort ratings

All dancers have different intensity levels shows how hard the dancers moves, gold moves and as well as how quicky the moves are, the note that, microgames can also calulates the intensity level that depends on the strength.

* **Extreme versions**: These are choreographies where the coach moves very quickly and does more complex moves. In *Just Dance 3* the difficulty is 3 and the effort is 3; in *Just Dance 4* the difficulty is 4; in *Just Dance 2014* the difficulty is Hardest, and in *Just Dance 2019* the difficulty is Extreme and the effort is Intense. In Just Dance Ultimate the difficulty is Very Hard while the effort is Exhausting and all extreme routines have intensity levels that can exceed 9.0 or higher, all alternative versions of intensity 9.0 or higher have been extreme versions, sometimes some extremes do have intensity 8, if there moves are somewhat slower then the normal extreme moves, that makes longer perfect move streaks a bit easier, the lowest intensity level for the extreme versions is 8.0. Although several extreme versions has predicted at maximum intensity levels, extreme routines have a 9.9 intensity are the toughest and quickest known extreme dancers, the intensity levels that depends on how fast the very quicky moves, how tough, difficult and intense the choreographies moves are, the most of the hardest extreme routines ever are usually predicts at 9.8 on the intensity scale such as "Animals" and "Scream and Shout". there are only six known extreme versions to have reached 9.9 intensity such as "Circus", "John Wayne", "New Rules", "Kill This Love (Fanmade)", "Til' The World Ends" and "Yameen Yasar". Fortunately, extreme versions have intensity levels at this high are rare.

The easiest classic route in Just Dance was "10,000 Luchtballonnen" on Just Dance 2020 Unlimited while the hardest classic route was "Jopping" on Just Dance 2022.

Of all time difficulty records, the easiest dancer ever recorded in Just Dance was "Barbara Ann" on Just Dance Kids 2 which it had measured at 0.0 on the intensity scale.

There are two known classic routines are "Hey Boy Hey Girl" and Jopping" have also reached 9.9 intensity, there are only less then 1.5% of all dancers routines have intensity levels reaching 9.9.

### Number of Gold Moves

A **Gold Move** is a special dance move that gives a huge amount of points if done correctly. When the song reaches its Gold Move, the player will get a "YEAH" if they do it correctly or an "X" if they miss. There are no other ratings on a Gold Move, except in the *Just Dance Kids* series. The feature is also known as **Yeah** on *Just Dance 2023 Edition* and future games. It also appears on the Wii version of *The Black Eyed Peas Experience* as **Group Moves**.

As described in the *Just Dance 4* Wii U Electronic manual: "Some moves are more than just moves: they are Gold Moves. You will recognize them by the golden pictogram and special effects around the dancer. Doing these correctly will earn you a lot of points."

### Main series

Gold Moves were first introduced in *Just Dance 2*, replacing Shake Moves in *Just Dance*, and has appeared in every game to date, even in spinoffs such as *Just Dance Kids* and the Japan-exclusive *Just Dance Wii* games. Unlike Shake Moves, Gold Moves appear in every song. On average, Gold Moves offer 200-300 points, and they are worth the value of five "*Perfect*"s.

In every game, Gold Moves change sound effects and the pictogram design (except in *Just Dance Kids* where the sound effects are not changed). The pictograms for the moves are displayed as completely golden in Solo routines; however, in Duets (except *Just Dance 2*), Trios and Dance Crews, the pictograms have their respective color, but they have a golden outline, except *Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie* and its beta routine. When the background is mainly golden, the Gold Moves in some songs are outlined in red, and keep their normal pictogram color (only for Duets, Trios, and Dance Crews), which is the case for *Dark Horse*, *Danse (Pop Version)*, *Macarena*, *Maria* (Sweat), *Could You Be Loved*, *Candy*, *Speedy Gonzales*, and *Hey Mama*. In other songs, they can be outlined in pink (*Don’t Worry Be Happy*) or even in black and golden (*In the Summertime*).

Gold Moves in Duets, Trios and Dance Crews are often obtained by all the players simultaneously but not always. They can also be obtained separately or in a "wave" (for example - All *Baby One More Time*’s Gold Moves: P1 gets the Gold Move first, then P2 gets the Gold Move after P1, after that, P3 gets the Gold Move, and lastly, P4 gets the Gold Move). Starting from *Just Dance Wii*, if a Gold Move is performed correctly, the Wii-Mote and PlayStation Move will vibrate. The Wii-Mote and PlayStation Move will also make a sound if correctly received, barring *Just Dance 4*. In *Just Dance 4* Dance Crews, when Gold Moves are performed in a row.

### General

* So far, the greatest number of gold moves on record with a total of nine in the game were two female solo dancers are *Proud Mary* measured Intensity 8.9 and *Ninja Re Bang Bang* measured an Intensity 8.0.
* The average number of gold move in a medley is three, a single medley with nine gold moves are relatively rare.
* In terms of pictogram count, the record for the earliest appearance of a Gold Move is currently held by *S.O.S* (only in the original version), *Chicken Payback* (only in the original version), *Bad Romance* (Mashup), *Crying Blood* (only in the remake), and *Circus* (Mashup), where the first Gold Move is the second pictogram of the routine.
	+ If spin-offs are taken into account, however, the record goes to *Happy Birthday To You* and *Five Little Monkeys*, where Gold Move 1 is also the first pictogram, as well as the first counted move of the routine.
* *Giddy on Up (Giddy on Out)* (Hold My Hand) and *Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini* are the only multiplayer routines where the Gold Move pictogram consists of fully golden bodies instead of regularly-colored bodies with a golden glow.
	+ This is also the case for the Beta version of the latter.
* Sometimes, depending on how long it takes for the Gold Move to be performed, the feedback may be received before the final part of the effect is played.
* In *Just Dance 4*, the “YEAH” move has an exclamation mark.
* Some maps have received changes in terms of Gold Move numbers and/or placement in later appearances.
* In some Duets and Trios, the distribution of Gold Moves may be uneven such that one player may have more Gold Moves than every other player.
	+ The only Quartet where this happens is *Pac-Man*.
* The following maps have Gold Moves that do not grant the player any feedback even though they are preceded by a pictogram and the Gold Move effect:
	+ *Are You Gonna Go My Way* (there is an incorrect Gold Move that is only seen in the Xbox 360 version of *Just Dance 3*)
	+ *C'mon* (Mashup, only on remote consoles)
	+ *Follow the Leader* (Party Master Mode)
	+ *Ievan Polkka* (Mashup, only on PS4)
	+ *Just A Gigolo* (Mashup, only on remote consoles)
	+ *Proud Mary* (Gold Move 8 is not counted as one in *Just Dance 2*)
	+ *What About Love* (Gold Move 3 is not counted as one in *Just Dance 2014*, only on Xbox One)
* Some maps from *Just Dance* that reappeared in later games had Gold Moves added to them, taking the place of Shake Moves.
* For songs that are shorter and/or have a small amount of counted moves, the Gold Moves will be worth many more points than usual. For example, *Tetris*’s Gold Move is worth about 770 points.
* In *Just Dance 2*, *Just Dance Wii*, and *Just Dance 3*, the golden shade of the solo Gold Move pictograms depends on the color of the normal ones: for example, *Toxic* has lilac pictograms and its Gold Move one is in a lighter shade of yellow; conversely, *Let’s Go To The Mall* has dark purple pictograms and its Gold Move pictograms appear in a very dark shade.
* In *Just Dance Kids*, there are no special effects during a Gold Move. Instead, its pictograms are surrounded by a rainbow aura while retaining their normal colors.
	+ A similar phenomenon occurs in *The Smurfs Dance Party* and *The Black Eyed Peas Experience*.
* In all games intended for younger audiences, it is still possible to score "OK" or "GOOD" on a Gold Move.
* In older games, Gold Moves were usually unique poses or moves. From *Just Dance 2015* to *Just Dance 2018*, Gold Moves often tend to occur at the start of the song’s chorus or drop, which often results in the same move being performed several times throughout the rest of the song as a regular move.
	+ This also occurs in later games, albeit to a lesser extent.

### *Just Dance 2014*

* When *Barbra Streisand* appears with the first Gold Move in *Just Dance 2014* Mashups and Party Master Modes, its Gold Move pictogram is absent, but the move is still treated and counted as a Gold Move.
* In *Miss Understood* and *Prince Ali*s’ Mashups, there is a hidden Gold Move during *Wild Wild West* (Extreme Version)’s part, which appears without a special effect nor pictogram.
