DanceDanceRevolution STR!KE Dance Master Mode Guide

Much like its North American counterpart DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME2, and its European counterpart Dancing Stage Max, DanceDanceRevolution STR!KE's main unlock event is Dance Master Mode ((ダンスマスターモード)). Here you play 192 missions across seven areas, with the goal to complete missions to unlock further missions, which will grant you access to unlockable songs, courses, arrow skins, and even modes. Missions are divided into five different colored boxes:

• Yellow: standard missions. Some yellow missions may also have contain new songs to unlock.
• Red: boss missions. Completing these unlocks not only a new song, but allows you to access further areas by completing a certain amount of them.
• Blue: special missions. These are much harder than the usual missions around the area.
• Green: courses. Play a series of songs back-to-back with certain modifiers on.
• White: THE LAST mission color. Only used for this one mission.

30 missions also have hidden secret secondary goals. Completing these goals will unlock other missions for access. These will be noted as such in the guide.

In addition, there are X missions. X missions are hidden missions that have special requirements to access. Most (most) of them are accessed by completing secret goals in regular missions. Some X missions require beating secondary goals in other X missions to access.

Each mission also has a difficulty rating on a scale of 1 to 10. These will be listed after the difficulty level of the song/course.
