Introduction:
Just Dance 2017 is the latest instalment in Ubisoft's #1 dancing game franchise. Like the past few games, this game can be played without a PlayStation Camera. It is highly recommended that you play this game using a smartphone with the Just Dance Controller app, or with a PS Move controller. If you want to play with the PS Move, the PlayStation Camera is not needed. When playing with a smartphone or the PS Move, only one hand is being tracked, whereas your entire body is being tracked with the PlayStation Camera. Due to this, playing with the PlayStation Camera makes it harder to reach Superstar rank in all the songs. Please note that if you choose to play the game using a smartphone, you will require a constant Wi-Fi connection for the app to work.
Most of the game modes are the same as the previous games, with a few minor additions. The trophy list is also largely the same as Just Dance 2016. However, be warned, as the in Just Dance 2017 is the hardest Just Dance this generation due to having to achieve Superstar rank on all the songs, including Alternate versions and Mash-Ups.
NOTE: This guide is based on the PS4 North American version of the game using an iPhone with the Just Dance Controller app. The PS4 China version has a similar trophy list, except with the online trophies removed. The PS3 version has a completely different trophy list but its is currently unobtainable due to a glitched trophy. As of writing this Guide, Ubisoft has not yet made any announcement regarding a patch for this glitch. This guide is also written without the use of Just Dance Unlimited, a service by Ubisoft which regularly adds extra songs. However, some songs through Just Dance Unlimited could help make certain trophies easier.
Walkthrough:
Step 1: World Video Challenge
In this step, you want to focus on the World Video Challenge mode and beating 100 Challengers. All your scores will be saved under Rival mode so you will automatically be working towards the Dance Master trophy. This is the longest step but it will give you good practice towards the later steps. If you are new to the series, you might have some trouble at first but in this game practice makes perfect. There are no shortcuts or tricks to it. You will probably also earn a lot of trophies related to getting specific ranks in this step. After this step, you should have the following trophies:
Welcome to Just Dance® 2017!
Come at me!
Bring it on!
Competitive Spirit
Take all comers
A long road ahead
Step 2: Dance Quest
In this step, complete all the Dance Quests on Superstar difficulty. There are 10 Dance Quests in total, each composed of 3 songs. You should play these straight on Superstar difficulty as you’ve already gained solid experience from the previous step. After this step, you should have the following trophies:
First quest
Gold Rush
Complete your journey
Dance Quest Master!!!
Step 3: Just Dance Machine
In this step, complete Just Dance Machine mode. This is basically the story mode of the game. Keep playing this mode until you have enough energy to power your ship to escape. After this step, you should have the following trophies:
Like a rollercoaster!
Need more energy!
To infinite and beyond!
Step 4: World Dance Floor, Playlists, Collaborative modes
In this step, get all the trophies related to World Dance Floor, Playlists and Collaborative modes. Note that you will need 4 players (4 PS Move controllers or 4 smartphones with the Just Dance Controller app) to earn the two trophies tied to Collaborative mode. If you can't find anyone locally to play the game with you, then refer to the respective trophies for tips on how to do them solo. After this step, you should have the following trophies:
Who’s the boss now?
Entering the competition
Gonna make you Sweat!
I got the power!
Dance Crew
Funky Four!
Step 5: Rival mode Superstar rank and clean up
In this step, focus on earning Superstar rank on all the songs that you haven't already through Rival mode. You must also complete all Alternative versions and Mash-Ups. Also, clean up any remaining trophies that you might be missing. You may also need to collect more Mojos to unlock everything. After this step, you should have the following trophies:
