Different values will appear on the GROOVE RADAR depending on the difficulty currently selected for a song. Before DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA, BEGINNER charts had no GROOVE RADAR data at all. The maximum value for a category is 200, having been changed to 270 after the introduction of [[EGOISM 440]]'s CHALLENGE charts, which have STREAM values above 200; Single CHALLENGE has 226, while Double CHALLENGE has 270. | Different values will appear on the GROOVE RADAR depending on the difficulty currently selected for a song.

The possible options range from changing the color of the arrows or their shapes to hiding the notes on the screen. Usually, the players are free to use any options but on select occasions such as an EXTRA STAGE, the modifiers are set by the game and cannot be changed (LIFE4 in recent arcade games). Also, all ASSIST options can alter the score obtained by the player. | ||
