The 53 songs present in Dance Maniax 2nd MIX are also present, for a total of 67 songs. This version features a secret song called "PARANOiA Jazzy Groove+TRIP MACHINE -CLIMAX-+DEAD END(Sync Edit)". This song is not different from the original NONSTOP MIXES from 2ndMIX; they only differ because dance chips are custom made.

Korean Release:

• Dance Freaks - Released in 2000, Dance Freaks features 33 songs. In addition to the entire 26 song Dance Maniax library, there are an additional 7 licensed Korean songs exclusive to this version.

Note: Unlike most other Bemani games, no home versions of Dance Maniax have been developed. This is likely due to the expense and difficulty of constructing an arcade-accurate peripheral controller. As well, Konami has stopped active development of the Dance Maniax series.
