A completely redone [[AC DDR 2nd|DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX]] is featured as a separate mode in DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX. This revamped version have high definition graphics, 2ndMIX dancing characters, banners (with the original typos) and background animations. Nearly all of the original gameplay found in the game was kept such as the modifiers requiring command codes in order to use them, COUPLE Play being available, hidden songs with various requirements each to make them appear. Also, all the old terminology was kept such as CUT1 returning to its former name, LITTLE.  


Every song featured in DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX (with the only exception of [[STRICTLY BUSINESS]]) is playable here. STEP BATTLE songs are also absent.
The notable differences between the original game and the HD remake are:
 
* The new widescreen ratio (16:9 instead of 4:3).
2ndMIX MODE difficulty rated from 1 to 10.
* All the songs from the LINK VERSION, [[STRICTLY BUSINESS]] and the three STEP BATTLE songs were not included.
* [[DREAD]] and [[JANET]] are the only possible characters, it is not possible to change them with [[AFRO]] and [[LADY]].
* 2ndMIX MODE difficulty rated from 1 to 10, due to PARANOiA Revolution and TRIP MACHINE having a 9 and 10 in their charts. Originally all songs in the game were rated from 1 to 8.

== CROSSOVER DDR ==
On August 2, 2012, the CROSSOVER DDR event started. During the event, players can unlock every 2ndMIX songs for play on X3's PRO Mode or Quick Play. The two exceptions are HERO, as the song is already in X3 (using the X-edit version from X2) and PARANOiA MAX~DIRTY MIX~(in roulette), as there is no Roulette option in X3. For their appearance in X3, every song received a brand new jacket made of the disc seen in 2ndMIX. The song's banner was added on 4/20/2012 at the bottom of the disc on the jacket. The unlocked songs appears in the X3 folder instead of the 2ndMIX folder, they would return to their original folder in [[AC DDR 2013|DanceDanceRevolution (2013)]].
In 2ndMIX Mode, the song list is divided in two parts: EASY / NORMAL Mode and HARD Mode. Each song have to be played in its respective 2ndMIX's sub-mode in order to be unlocked in X3. Both SINGLE and DOUBLE charts have to be unlocked individually on every difficulty available:  BASIC, ANOTHER and MANIAC (SP only). After unlocking the first chart for a song in SINLE Play, the new BEGINNER chart is also unlocked. Clearing all the three difficulties will also unlock the CHALLENGE charts for play in X3 Mode. In DOUBLE Play, clearing the two difficulties will unlock the EXPERT and CHALLENGE charts for that song in X3.
On 6/02/2012, obtaining the rank of SS (a FULL COMBO-only grade in 2ndMIX) before the FINAL STAGE will unlock one of the two following songs for the FINAL STAGE:
*In NORMAL Mode (2ndMIX), TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION will then be playable.
*In HARD Mode, PARANOiA Revolution will then be playable.
To make them appears in X3 and also appears later as EXTRA STAGE in X3, all the charts found in NORMAL and HARD Mode respectively, have to be cleared. Finally, scoring AA or better on these songs on EXPERT unlock the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, LOVE IS THE POWER Re:born. The song was previously only found playing during the ending credits of [[CS DDR 2ndReMIX PS|DanceDanceRevolution 2ndReMIX's]] ARCADE mode.
On 11/05/2012, all the 2ndMIX songs were fully unlocked for everyone.
