AC DDR A3: Difference between revisions

On each playthrough, the player fills the RP gauge through playing songs regardless of result (three songs required if the player choose GALAXY PLAY, or nine for all other modes). When the gauge is filled, you are given the option to consume the gauge to access a special folder. Note that the player is locked into the folder once accessed.

A list of planets are shown to the player, each representing a song. When a song is played under GALAXY STAGE, a special FLARE LIFE GAUGE (a non-recovery LIFE GAUGE with penalties for steps below Perfects) is forced starting at Level V (or Level IX in CHALLENGE), and relaxes by one level for every attempt (though the same level can be attempted again). If the song is cleared with at least a Level II, the song is unlocked for regular play, along with an emblem for the highest FLARE level cleared by the player; individual difficulties and play styles (Single or Double) have to be unlocked one at a time. Unlocking all the non-BEGINNER charts for all of the songs will reveal the CHALLENGE charts for the last three songs.

To access the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, the player must have unlocked and cleared the CHALLENGE charts once (indicated in one of the three slots below). The player is forced on FLARE Level EX during ENCORE EXTRA STAGE; unlike past games with this feature, neither RISKY nor getting a PERFECT FULL COMBO is required to clear the stage.
