I know that I can do it.
The record, I believe, is 28 hours. I have done 5 on endless mode comfortably on Heavy+Oni mode.
I want to do it. I want to do it badly.
Anyone have any advice on how to do it? I'm gonna talk to my local arcade, but I wanna get some sponsors... I figured here would be a good place to start.
And I also wanna do donations. I wanna help out the people who were hurt by Hurricane Katrina and keep roughly about 5-10% of the pot to pay for college.

The record was set on light mode, so stamina at heavy/oni mode really isn't important, and neither is DDR skill. What is important is being able to be on your feet non-stop for that long, being able to eat/drink while playing, and being able to survive sleep deprivation. According to Guiness regulations, you do get somehting like a 15 minute break every 3 or hour hours, so bathroom breaks aren't really that much of a problem.

The guy took a 15 minute break every two hours or something. Of course I'd take a pee every now and then and get some chow.
I just know I could do it and I wanna do it for a good cause.

wow. that's an idea. if you only have to play on light, then it seems like you'd get very bored before you got tired. i love mountain dew amps, but I think that anything with lots of junk in it to keep you awake would work. good luck with that one :-).

I have it set up as such:
Get some sponsors.. hopefully GetUpMove, maybe RedOctane, and maybe a restaurant for some free chow.
I would do non-stop Maniac. I wouldn't touch basic, screw that... With the exception.
For each donation over 20 dollars I would get, I would do a FreeStyle. I have a few under my belt, so that's what I'd do.
Talk to my local arcade, rock it out.

Why is it whenever I post something it's not there.
Boo IE.
Anyways, best of luck with this. I would think you would get bored as hell before you got exhausted, but I'm sure you can do it. Good luck!!!!! Hows the sponsor search going, btw?

I'll take care of it soon, I'm still in the process of talking to Fiddlesticks about it and finding out the exact rules of it. So far, I know this:
The longest time is 37.5 hours of playing.
The rules are- For every 8 hours, there's a 15 minute break and the time inbetween songs can be no more than 30 seconds.
The people who have done it played strictly Basic mode.
The pads at the arcade aren't that good.
Things I don't know:
If you can fail a song and still be elligable.
See, even if I don't break the record, I'd still like to get donations to give to Katrina, that's the main reason for this.

sorry to burst your bubble put thats kind of you know impossible to do.it will take more then a day of ddr.it will probably end up with 1:00 at night and get like legend of max.well i guess if you go on light and drink coffe all day and wait like 2 hours during like every break you might be able to pull it off. hey come to think of it i should get on ddr right now. i guess you should try and give us the info on how it went down.

well if you fail a song then you stop your time because youd have to wait before you could start again.
id say stick with light mode or standered just so if you get a hard song you most likely you wont fail.

Actually, for world record purposes, if you fail a song, you're out.
