Oni
Oni (鬼) are the Demons and Ogres of Japanese folklore.
Oni is a province of the Republic of Georgia.
Oni is also a third-person shooter video game made by Bungie Studios. It was released for Macintosh, Windows and PlayStation in early 2001. The game broke new ground in the genre by introducing a well integrated fighting and shooting system that was easy to learn and fun to play.
Oni (鬼) is also used to describe a special mode in the game Dance Dance Revolution, first introduced in Max 2 arcade version. The player would select a course with 5-10 preselected songs following a specific genre. Gameplay is the same as in normal gameplay, but with some changes. The score at the bottom is replaced with a timer that counts up, showing how long you have lasted in the course. A different type of scoring is introduced, showing a percentage of dance points that the player has obtained in the course. (This was later changed to total dance points in DDR Extreme) The most notable part of Oni Mode is the absence of the life bar. In its place is a life battery with 3 pieces in it. Everytime a player obtains a step ranking of good, boo, miss, or NG (missed freeze arrow, or freeze was not held down completely for the entire duration) then a piece of the bar is taken away. If all 3 pieces are gone, the next missed step or missed freeze arrow ends the game. 1, 2 or 3 'lives' are restored when a song is cleared.
