For the first few games, KONAMI opted to use mostly licensed songs from the popular remix compilation series, Dancemania by the label i-DANCE. Some original songs (known as KONAMI originals) made by the game staff were also included in the song list. As the years progressed, the ratio of original songs overtook the number of Dancemania licenses. This also includes cover of songs or licenses mainly from Japanese artists that are included in the game but in a smaller proportion.

CHALLENGE is also often referred as 鬼 (Oni). This difficulty was first made available on select songs during some NONSTOP Courses in DDRMAX2 before being added outside of courses in DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME. Typical range is 17-18 with 19 being the highest rated yet and appeared in DanceDanceRevolution X2. The Shock Arrows (SA) added in DanceDanceRevolution X are found in CHALLENGE charts only. An icon is displayed on screen to notify the user of their presence in the chart. Charts with Shock Arrows are often a modified lower difficulty chart and thus, can be actually played by nearly everyone. | ||
