DDR AC General Info: Difference between revisions

Instead of picking individual songs, the player can select a course. A course is a group of at least four songs with each course having 2 difficulty levels. There are two lifebar types: the Normal lifebar, which similar to the standard lifebar; and the Challenge lifebar, where the player is given 4 or 8 lives (depending on the difficulty level chosen) that deplete on each Good, Boo, Miss, or N.G. When the player runs out of lives, they fail the course. Successfully clearing each song will regenerate a life or two. Before DanceDanceRevolution X, the COURSE MODE was split into two parts: NONSTOP MODE and CHALLENGE MODE. In DanceDanceRevolution A20, the COURSE MODE is split into two parts: NONSTOP MODE and CLASS MODE.

; NONSTOP MODE

: First appeared in 3rdMIX and was removed in 5thMIX, and CHALLENGE MODE first appeared in [[AC DDRMAX2|DDRMAX2]]. [[AC DDR EXTREME|EXTREME]] was the first mix to have both. NONSTOP MODE included courses with a selectable difficulty level and the standard lifebar.

: Similar to NONSTOP MODE, but the difficulty of the songs in the courses is fixed, and features a lifebar set to LIFE4 and no choice of modifiers to select.

; CLASS MODE

: Similar to NONSTOP MODE, but the difficulty of the songs in the courses is fixed, and features a lifebar set to GRADE (which is filled to maximum at start but depletes faster) and some modifiers made unavailable.
