Introduced in DDRMAX, the [[GROOVE RADAR]] (グルーヴレーダー) was supposed to be the successor to the traditional feet level system. Due to the negative reception, the Feet Level system returned in DDRMAX2 and ever since both systems have been used in the game. In a nutshell, the GROOVE RADAR is a graphical representation of a song difficulty using a pentagon shape. The pentagon is drawn using 5 categories:

Due to the negative reception, the Feet Level system returned in DDRMAX2 and ever since both systems have been used in the game. In a nutshell, the GROOVE RADAR is a graphical representation of a song difficulty using a pentagon shape. The pentagon is drawn using 5 categories:
* VOLTAGE refers to the peak density of the notest of the song. It's the highest density of arrows that ever appear on the screen at once.
* VOLTAGE (最大密度 ''saidai mitsudo'' "maximum density") refers to the peak density of the notest of the song. It's the highest density of arrows that ever appear on the screen at once.
* AIR refers to the amount of Jumps of the song.
* AIR (ジヤンプ度 ''janpu'' "jump") refers to the amount of Jumps of the song.
* FREEZE refers to the amount of Freeze Arrows of the song.
* FREEZE (踏みつぱ度 ''fumitsu pa-do'' "stepping degree") refers to the amount of Freeze Arrows of the song.
* CHAOS refers to the amount of notes that do not match well with the beat of the song.
* CHAOS (変則度 ''hensoku-do'' "degree of irregularity") refers to the amount of notes that do not match well with the beat of the song.
* STREAM refers to the amount of sets of notest that are right after one another (note density), in the song. It is actually determined as the number of notes per minute.
* STREAM (全休密度 ''zenkyū mitsudo'' "total density") refers to the amount of sets of notest that are right after one another (note density), in the song. It is actually determined as the number of notes per minute.


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.
