Project X Zone 2[]
In Project X Zone 2, Dance Energy serves as an important story element in beats related to Ulala and Shadow. Throughout the game, Shadow is on the search for sources of Dance Energy to be used towards the Rhythm Rogues' goal of creating a dance-ruled paradise. Save for a handful of characters, most are baffled by the concept of Dance Energy and are dismissive of its existence.
Nevertheless, Dance Energy is still a force to be reckoned with, being powerful enough to create dimensional rifts. All and seemingly any kind of movements can produce Dance Energy so long as they are perceived as a dance.[1] Interesting, Dance Energy is also explained to be an energy source that has always existed within the universe, but beings of the past had not yet perceived it.[2]
