** Characters in 2ndMIX MODE no longer have their original dance routines. They use the routines introduced in the previous game, instead.

* DRILL COURSE from [[AC DDR X2|X2]] is removed.

At AOU 2012 on February 17th, 2012, KONAMI announced a new event called Daily Special (デイリースペシャル) for [[e-AMUSEMENT]] users only. It began on February 20th, 2012 and ended on May 28th, 2012. During the event, a different BEMANI crossover was unlocked each day of the week from Monday to Friday only. Each day began at 7:00 am following the daily maintenance. The cycle of the song unlocking had been shuffled three times, on March 19th, April 16th, and May 14th, 2012.<br>

On May 5th, 2012, an additional event called Weekend Special (ウィークエンドスペシャル) was added. During Weekend Special, the songs cycled hourly instead. This event also ended on May 28th, 2012, date where all songs were unlocked for regular play.

;EXTRA STAGE Requirement

In order to access the EXTRA STAGE, X3 introduced the "Result Star System", a feature available only when playing via [[e-AMUSEMENT]] in PRO Mode. To unlock the EXTRA STAGE, the player must get 9 Result Stars during a game or multiple games. The Result Stars are carried over from one play session to another using e-AMUSEMENT. Once the player has unlocked the EXTRA STAGE, the 9 Result Stars are used and removed. When using VERSUS PLAY, once one player has obtained 9 stars, the EXTRA STAGE is unlocked and both players' Stars will be used in the process. The colors of the Star have no importance, only the amount (9) is required to unlock the EXTRA STAGE.  

|Bonus for the first play session of the day. Added on 2/02/2012.

The event started on December 19th, 2012 with the four songs being added to the participating series (GuitarFreaks & DrumMania received rock arrangements of Cosmic Hurricane and snow prism). The winner song was selected using the total play counts on all the games combined at the end of the event on January 8th, 2013. The winning song 紅焔 was transplated to jubeat saucer on January 9th, 2013. The other songs were added to jubeat saucer on February 1st, 2013 via saucer bistro 5th set.  

A completely redone [[AC DDR 2nd|DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX]] is featured as a separate mode in DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX. This revamped version features high definition graphics, 2ndMIX dancing characters, banners (with the original typos), and background animations.  Nearly all of the original gameplay found in the game was kept such as the modifiers requiring command codes in order to use them, COUPLE Play being available, and hidden songs with various requirements each to make them appear. Also, all the old terminology was kept such as CUT1 returning to its former name, LITTLE.  

* All the songs from the LINK VERSION, [[STRICTLY BUSINESS]] and the three STEP BATTLE songs were not included.

* [[DREAD]] and [[JANET]] are the only possible characters, it is not possible to change them with [[AFRO]] and [[LADY]].

* 2ndMIX MODE difficulty rated from 1 to 10, due to PARANOiA Revolution and TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION having a 10 and 9 in their charts, respectively. Originally, all songs in the game were rated from 1 to 8.
