The goal of the game is to make points by stepping correctly on the matching arrows of the dance platform to the arrows seen on screen when they reach the [[DDR Glossary|STEP ZONE]] (ステップゾーン). The STEP ZONE is the four grey arrows (← ↓ ↑ →) that can be seen on the top of the screen, below the DANCE GAUGE (or above the SCORE if the player uses REVERSE modifier).

Both to help or to increase the difficulty of the game, modifiers are included for players to use since the very first game. The possible options range from changing the color of the arrows or their shapes to hiding the steps 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 can't be changed. Also, CUT, FREEZE ARROW and JUMP options can alter the score obtained by the player.
