=== COURSE MODE ===
=== COURSE MODE ===
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 onwards, Courses are split into two parts: NONSTOP and 段位認定.
