= EXTRA STAGE =
The EXTRA STAGE system gives access to one free song on the next dance level difficulty than the currently selected one by the player if it exists.
* In the original DanceDanceRevolution, it's only possible to have an EXTRA STAGE by playing BASIC Single Play which give access to one song on ANOTHER. The other condition is to clear any song on the FINAL STAGE with a full-gauge to get either MY FIRE to appear when playing NORMAL or PARANOiA on HARD mode.
* In the Internet Ranking Version, this was expanded to also include ANOTHER Single Play granting a song on MANIAC and BASIC Double Play giving a song on ANOTHER to play. The other condition is to clear a song on the FINAL STAGE with a full-gauge to either get TRIP MACHINE to appear when playing NORMAL mode or TRIP MACHINE or PARANOiA on HARD mode.
