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.

The timing result influences both the score and the | The timing result influences both the score and the player's DANCE GAUGE (ダンスゲージ). Continuously missing (Miss) or receiving timing judgments lower than Good (except O.K.) drain the life gauge. After a while if the player doesn't improve, this could lead to the game ending prematurely (getting a "Game Over", thus failing the song). A visual cue exists to help identify when the life meter is low, it goes from being rainbow colored (no misses in a while) to green (a few miss) and finally to red (danger). The gauge usually starts at half its capacity and is shown in green as default. Prior to DanceDanceRevolution (2013), the DANCE GAUGE was known as the dance meter in the game tutorial. | ||
Since DDRMAX, the standard DANCE GAUGE is often replaced with a stricter gauge such as [[DDR AC General Info|RISKY]] during a special event called an EXTRA STAGE which is unlocked after fulfilling one or more conditions. | Since DDRMAX, the standard DANCE GAUGE is often replaced with a stricter gauge such as [[DDR AC General Info|RISKY]] during a special event called an EXTRA STAGE which is unlocked after fulfilling one or more conditions. | ||
