** First game on BEMANI PC, running on 720p widescreen HD graphics on new cabinets, though at the cost of bugginess. (The American and European versions of X and [[AC DDR X2|its sequel]] run on modified Dell PCs instead.) | |||

** Combos are now color-coded, based on judgements obtained during a song: white for all MARVELOUS, yellow for at least one PERFECT, and green for at least one GREAT. | |||
** Getting a FULL COMBO will now produce a laser-beam splash effect, with the color based on the combo color attained. | |||
** Obtaining an N.G. from a Freeze Arrow or a set of Shock Arrows now breaks your combo. | |||
** The game engine now properly supports triplets (12th, 24th, and 48th notes), instead of rounding them to the nearest 64th note. | |||

Xmix songs are double-length songs consisting of medleys of songs from DanceDanceRevolution X and [[AC DDR SuperNOVA2|SuperNOVA2]] songs. Much like the [[AC DDR 5th|DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX]] Long Version songs, playing an Xmix takes two non-Xmix stages. They appear on second to the FINAL STAGE when selecting songs other than Xmix. | |||

As like [[AC DDR SuperNOVA2|DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2]], when playing EXTRA STAGE, the LIFE GAUGE is restricted to LIFE4. One life is given by default, though it can be increased depending on the score attained on FINAL STAGE: getting at least 962,500 will give two lives, and 975,000 will give a full four lives. In all cases, the song chosen must be labeled as a red-text in the song wheel in order to count. | As like [[AC DDR SuperNOVA2|DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2]], when playing EXTRA STAGE, the LIFE GAUGE is restricted to LIFE4.
