Usually, the arrows (or notes) are seen scrolling upward from the bottom to the top of the screen. The arrows are normally placed to match the main beat of the song. The most common note found in the game is a ¼ note. In the first two games, only ¼, ⅛ and <sup>1</sup>/<sub>16</sub> notes existed and they were each colored the same. After DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX, the game sporadically added options to change the color of the notes depending on the beat they fall on. For example, a ¼ note will appear colored in red when the modifiers ARROW COLOR is set to NOTE. | Usually, the arrows (or notes) are seen scrolling upward from the bottom to the top of the screen.

This feature can be disabled by the arcade operator and thus, not available on every arcade machines. | Since DanceDanceRevolution X2, the game can display a judgment timing indicator (判定タイミング表示) on screen: <span style="color: #ca00cd;">'''SLOW'''</span> when the arrow was stepped after it matched the STEP ZONE arrows and <span style="color: #311aa3;">'''FAST'''</span> if the step was pressed before the arrows met the STEP ZONE properly.
