TRIP MACHINE (series)

Current logo of the series.

The TRIP MACHINE (series) series is a series of songs in the DanceDanceRevolution series. The songs are known for their variety of tricks that cause the player to "trip up" and think about where to step. Debuting with the eponymous song of the same name in 1998's Dance Dance Revolution, TRIP MACHINE remains a flagship song series in DDR. It is often placed as a psuedo-boss song below the PARANOiA series.
