YMMV: In The Groove
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: 800$ BOOM
  • Fan Dumb: "A machine may be owned by the arcade it resides in, but it belongs to the community."
  • Fanon Dis Continuity: Every fanmade "game" =/= In The Groove.
  • It's Easy, so It Sucks: Every song under 10 blocks seems to suffer from this by the fanbase, despite a great deal of them actually being loads of fun.)
    • Thus this leads to more and more expert only Nintendo Hard custom songs and packs.
  • Good Bad Bugs: In the r21 patch for ITG2, players can play custom stepfiles, but the song cannot be tagged as being longer than 2 minutes. Emphasis on "tagged"; the implementation of the feature read from the music file's metadata to determine length. In the updated r23 patch, songs now automatically cut off at around 2 minutes and 30 seconds, regardless.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • KONAMI WILL SUE
    • 800$ BOOM (Both players get the same score on "Liquid Moon" in a tournament's final round, but one player accidentally hits a mine right at the end of the song. The "$800" refers to the difference in prize money.)
  • Scrappy Level: Utopia Expert. It's okay for the most part, until a third into the song the steps stop making sense for a while. See here
    • Also, Tell Expert. It's hated due to the fact it has nearly-impossible to hit jumps.
  • Suspiciously Similar Song: Plenty based on DDR songs.
    • The first game has "Disconnected" for "PARANOiA", "I Think I Like That Sound" for "Drop Out", "Hand of Time" for "Healing Vision", and "Pandemonium" for "Gamelan de Couple".
    • The second has "Energizer" for "MAX 300", which even nicks the slow part of "neoMAX", a fan remix of "MAX 300". "Energizer" piles on the references to the MAX series especially thick. It's very likely named as it is due to "Energizer Max" batteries, it has a big jump followed by slow section in the middle (though it's longer and brighter than the slowdown in "The Legend of MAX" - the background video shows a freaking field of flowers), and the first sixteen steps of both the Medium and Hard charts are the same as the Medium chart from "The legend of MAX".
    • Not every Suspiciously Similar Song in ITG is taken from DDR though. The second game has "Determinator" for "You Are What You Is".
  • That One Boss: Where to begin? Of course, any ZiGZaG song is definitely one.
    • There's also "Disconnected Disco"
  • They Copied It, So It Sucks: Opinions are divided on this issue.
