History VideoGame / Mungyodance

* [[AwesomeMusic/VideoGames Awesome Music: Video Games]]: While the series does have its fair share of awesome songs, it does borrow awesome music from other video games (especially in 3), such as ''{{VideoGame/Rez}}'', ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio'', ''VideoGame/RidgeRacer''[[note]]Especially ''VideoGame/RidgeRacer''[[/note]], ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Beatmania}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'', ''VideoGame/WanganMidnight'', ''Ollie King'' & ''VideoGame/MegaMan''.

* UnexpectedGameplayChange: The "EX" songs on [=MGD3=], which invariably uses a remix of the song it is attached to, or ''a completely different one'' (case in point, [[CB4 Dash Hopes III EX]])

* SplitPersonality: Renard, who much like the average Bemani artist, has a thousand different pen names. [[note]] Adraen, Azrael, Darius, D-Mode-D, Emoticon/Furries in a Blender, Hecate, Jackal Queenston, Jaql, Kettu, Kitcaliber, Kitsune^2, Lollipop, Mayhem, MGD Assault Force, MGD-Crew, Mr. R, Neko, Negaren, Omicron Complex, Renard, Sigma, Sno.Lukav and Sonitus Vir. Whew![[/note]]

* SpiritualSuccessor: Shortly before the release of [=MGD3=], Renard announced plans for "5 Step Adventure", a ''VideoGame/PumpItUp'' clone with ''VideoGame/PopNMusic''-like style characters and artwork, and a quest mode using Extra Mode-styled scripts. It unfortunately got cancelled.

* Help Me, Erin! gets flak for consisting of almost nothing but handplants and jumps.

* {{Abandonware}}: Renard no longer hosts any of the games and they only host the VideoGame/{{Stepmania}} simfiles for the songs he likes. Though, shortly after the release of [=MGD3=], all three games were re-issued as official packs usable with normal [=Stepmania=] and the popular r21 update for ''VideoGame/InTheGroove 2''.

* {{Caramelldansen}}: Ryu☆'s remix is in [=MGD3=].

* LyricalDissonance: [=MGD2=] has a cover of "Cancer" originally by Music/MyChemicalRomance, set to happy hardcore dance music.

* [[AwesomeMusic/VideoGames Awesome Music: Video Games]]: While the series does have its fair share of awesome songs, it does borrow awesome music from other video games (especially in 3), such as ''{{Rez}}'', ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio'', ''VideoGame/RidgeRacer''[[note]]Especially ''VideoGame/RidgeRacer''[[/note]], ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Beatmania}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'', ''VideoGame/WanganMidnight'', ''Ollie King'' & ''VideoGame/MegaMan''.

** The opening splash for [=MGD3=] is from ''[[VideoGame/{{F-Zero}} F-Zero GX]]''.

* {{Expy}}: The entire game is an expy of either ''VideoGame/InTheGroove'' or ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'', the Destination series is a parody of [=DDR=]'s constantly remixed boss songs (i.e. Paranoia, Trip Machine, etc), "Due in One Hour" and "Dis" are parodies, SuspiciouslySimilarSong, or influenced by "DUE_TOMORROW" (from {{beatmania}}) and Vertex (from [=ITG=]) respectively, etc

** The presence of "Move Your Dead Bones" on [=MGD3=] is in fact a reference to this too. However, it averts it by including its "actual" music video instead (which features scenes from ''[[Film/ReAnimator Beyond Re-Animator]]'')

In short, Mungyodance is essentially what ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' would be like with a UsefulNotes/FurryFandom [[RecycledInSpace facelift]]. The Mungyodance trilogy was created by a man known as Renard, using ''VideoGame/StepMania'' as its engine, and the game takes many influences and features from fellow [=SM=] game ''VideoGame/InTheGroove''; such as mines, extremely difficult charts, and modes involving visual distractions and effects applied to the arrows themselves.

* InterfaceScrew: In two forms beginning on [=MGD2=], the Mod Bombs (similar to mines from ''InTheGroove'', except that they apply a modifier to the arrows when hit), and Extra Mode (Which is essentially Marathon Mode from ITG, but with just single songs instead of courses)

* FurryFandom: Masterminded by a promiment member of, Renard. So of course, expect a lot of anthro art.

Three games have been released in the series. The second (appropriately titled ''Mungyodance 2'', released in 2007) added almost 300 new songs, changed the scoring system to be just "hit/miss" like [[GuitarHero typical American rhythm games circa 2007]], and added two InterfaceScrew features (modbombs and Extra Mode, the former functioning much like the mines of ITG, but applying a visual distraction for a few moments when stepped on). ''Mungyodance 3: The Third Rave'' was released in August 2008, adding another 300 new songs, a new life system, different difficulty levels triggering completely different versions of songs, and a new unlock system. And yes, most of the artwork for the songs do involve anthros.
