Disco

Edit

The Disco (ディスコ) is a mini-game featured in Yakuza 0.

Gameplay[]

The player can choose one of the five songs available to play in the mini-game and, once a song is chosen, play by moving their avatar to a symbol shown on screen and then pressing the button/key matching the symbol in time to the rhythm and can gain bonus points by moving around the board up to nine times before reaching the symbol.

Successfully pressing the corresponding button/keys in a row will fill the Fever gauge. Once the Fever gauge is full, the player will be able to activate Dancing Fever. Activating it will show a series of directional arrows and pressing the corresponding arrows on the directional arrows of a controller (or the arrow keys of a keyboard) in the right order in time will boost the player's score by a thousand.

Ratings are affected by the Voltage gauge which has four levels. Each level gives the player a star at the end of a song when filled except the fourth one as the highest rating is three stars. The gauge is filled by dancing successfully.

The Disco minigame can be performed at the Maharaja night club.

Songs[]

  • Friday Night
  • Queen of Passion
  • I'm Gonna Make Her Mine
  • I Wanna Take You Home
  • Koi no DISCO QUEEN (恋のディスコ・クイーン)

Trivia[]

  • The disco mini-game's files are hidden in Yakuza Kiwami's files, possibly as left-over files from Yakuza 0 since Kiwami shares the same game-engine 0 has.
  • Images released a year before the release of Yakuza 0 suggest that the developers planned to let players access the disco mini-game through Deborah, but removed the option later in development.
  • During the development of Yakuza 0, the character's disco avatars were slightly different from their appearances in the finished game.
    • Majima's disco avatar had the character ま (ma) on it while Kiryu had the character き (ki) on his.
  • Miracle Johnson is the only character in the Disco Minigame to have a Popstar Prince Rank, since there is no other way to obtain it despite how high the player's points are.
  • The songs featured in the mini-game drew inspiration from 1980's pop songs. Most of which saw greater success in Japan than they did worldwide:
    • Friday Night is heavily inspired by the Europop songs Into the Night and Give me Up, both by Michael Fortunati.
    • Queen of Passion is inspired by Venus by Bananarama but with a twist of Eurobeat elements.
    • I'm Gonna Make Her Mine is a pastiche of Michael Jackson's Bad.
    • I Wanna Take You Home is a pastiche of David Bowie's Let's Dance.
    • Koi no DISCO QUEEN is heavily inspired by Dancing Hero by Yoko Oginome, itself being a localized cover of Angie Gold's Eat You Up which saw tremendous success in Japan in the mid 1980's.
