Dance
Enter traditional gameplay with up to four teams and 48 players. At
the Dance menu settings screen, select how long you’d like to play,
the length of your breaks, up to three difficulties to be displayed, and
available songs. In addition to the general difficulties, each song has a
listed difficulty rating, which is shown in the manual song select. Players
are randomly split to be on red, blue, green, and yellow teams, and
at the end of the song or playlist, the players’ scores are listed from
highest to lowest and final team scores are shown.
Tournament
Play in a tournament of three to 30 songs and determine the top
player! At the Tournament settings screen, select how many songs
are displayed, the length of your breaks, up to three difficulties to be
displayed, and available songs. In addition to the general difficulties,
each song has a listed difficulty rating, which is shown in the manual
song select. Players are randomly divided into four teams—red, blue,
green, and yellow—and compete in tournament play to see which
player is the best. In between each song, the players’ scores and ranks
are shown, and at the end of the tournament the final player rankings
are displayed.

HOW TO PLAY
DanceDanceRevolution
®
is a game that combines quick reflexes and
timing with dance music. All you have to do is step on the correct
dance arrows on the DanceDanceRevolution
®
dance mat that
correspond to the arrow(s) on-screen. The correct dance arrow must
be pressed when it crosses the permanent arrows inside the Step Zone.
The Step Zone for each player is located in the upper part of the screen.
Build up your dance meter and strive for the best score by
successfully completing the dance steps. However, if you continue to
miss dance arrows, the dance meter level won’t grow, and you’ll have
a lower score.
