Release Information
- Release Dates:
- Japan: December 24th, 2008
- Europe: June 3rd, 2009
- North America: June 9th, 2009

General Information / Changes
- First European DanceDanceRevolution arcade release to be named "DanceDanceRevolution" instead of "Dancing Stage".
- Rating system expanded on, from 1-10 to 1-20. Older songs were re-rated to reflect this (see DanceDanceRevolution X difficulty changes list).
- New announcers, Justin and Wil-Dog from Ozomatli, replace Londell "Taz" Hicks, which was used in the series since DDRMAX.
- This release retired the Python 2 hardware used since SuperNOVA and replaced it with PC-based hardware (BEMANI PC). This improved the graphics quality of the game on all cabinets, and allowed 720p widescreen HD graphics on new cabinets, but also meant that the game was slightly buggier than its predecessors due to migration issues.
- The American and European versions of X and its sequel run on modified Dell PCs instead.
- Shock Arrows introduced, exclusive to CHALLENGE charts, which feature an icon near the banner when the chart is selected. Stepping on them results in your gauge going down like a misstep would.
- Scoring system is similar to SuperNOVA2's, with some modifications:
- Step Score (SC): 1.000.000 ÷ (Number of steps [A jump will be considered a step in scoring] + Number of Freeze Arrows [A pair of Freeze Arrows that start at the same time will be considered as one Freeze in scoring] + Number of 4-way or 8-way Shock Arrows).
- The EXTREME folder from SuperNOVA2 is now separated into eight folders: 1stMIX→EXTREME.
- Unlike in EXTREME, each song is inside its respective folder where it made its arcade debut.
- First DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to feature songs from the HOTTEST PARTY Wii games, as well as the only DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to feature background dance stages from the HOTTEST PARTY Wii games.
- First arcade DanceDanceRevolution game where characters can dance to dedicated dance routines. Selected HOTTEST PARTY crossovers had dance routines carried over, while selected X songs received new dance routines.
- For new songs without dedicated dance routines (excluding X-Specials), characters will dance a different choreography from the HOTTEST PARTY games depending on the maximum BPM of the song:
- 131 to 159 BPM: escape or Closer to my Heart (jun remix).
- 160 BPM or higher: I WANT YOUR LOVE (Darwin remix) or REACH THE SKY (Orbit1 remix).
- This carried over from X2 to 2014, after which they were replaced in DanceDanceRevolution A by the routines introduced in the ULTRAMIX series instead for all songs without dedicated dance routines.
- For new songs without dedicated dance routines (excluding X-Specials), characters will dance a different choreography from the HOTTEST PARTY games depending on the maximum BPM of the song:
- The BOOM BOOM BOOM stage background now features a slightly different background from the one used in the CS releases. This would carry over to every subsequent installment.
- BOOM DARK, a darker variant of the BOOM BOOM BOOM stage, is introduced in this installment. It did not appear in the CS releases.
- All PARANOiA and TRIP MACHINE songs' banners had their fonts changed.
- However, TRIP MACHINE PhoeniX's English banner remained unaltered in the North American/European release.
- To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the DanceDanceRevolution franchise, several old Dancemania licenses are revived with new charts and cuts. These are known as X-edits.
- New CHALLENGE-only charts named X-Specials are added for several old KONAMI original DanceDanceRevolution songs, though they show up as separate songs in the song list.
- Licenses from synth-pop label A Different Drum make their debut in the mainline arcade series, formerly an exclusive to the ULTRAMIX and UNIVERSE console game series.
- The system background music was composed by Drew Campbell.
- First DanceDanceRevolution arcade game since the series' beginning to not have NAOKI or jun as the sound director; instead, it's the late Jason Michael "Stillwind" Borenstein, best known for his work in the ULTRAMIX/UNIVERSE series.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game to provide an extra second after the countdown timer is over to give the player a chance to press down Start button for options.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game to play back the sample of a selected song almost in an instant after selecting from the previous/next song.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game to play back a random announcer message if 20 seconds of the countdown timer remains.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game to give 10 seconds (instead of 5 as in SuperNOVA2) of the countdown timer remaining with accompanying warning sound.
- Several modifiers were added or modified:
- New SPEED modifiers introduced: x2.5, x3.5, x4, x4.5, x5.5, x6, x6.5, x7, and x7.5.
- SCREEN FILTER modifier has been introduced, with choices of OFF, DARK, DARKER, and DARKEST.
- CUT modifier ON is renamed to ON1, and an ON2 modifier was added to allow removal of non-4th/8th notes.
- Modifier text colors are now distinguishable in options: green for default, white for modified.
- Combo number is now color-coded: white for all MARVELOUS, yellow for MARVELOUS and PERFECT only, and green for MARVELOUS, PERFECT, and GREAT only.
- Obtaining an N.G. from a Freeze Arrow or a set of Shock Arrows breaks the combo.
- A laser beam effect is added when attaining a FULL COMBO in a song or course now.
- FULL COMBO messages now display on stage results as well.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game whose engine properly supports triplets (12th, 24th, and 48th notes) instead of rounding them to the nearest 64th note.
- As a result, charts of songs such as TSUGARU, 三毛猫ロック, Healing-D-Vision, and bag are properly quantized for the first time.
- Last arcade DanceDanceRevolution game to feature BATTLE as a game mode.
- Last arcade DanceDanceRevolution game to show a display about Freeze Arrows before the game begins.
- The overall stage results screen was revised.
- Only DanceDanceRevolution game that can stop the countdown timer on the overall stage results screen.
- First DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to have system background music play during the stage results screen, and the only one until 2014 to do such.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game to show stars throwing beyond the stepping zone for every MARVELOUS timing of arrows. This was also used on the sequel.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game to use eight lives on the battery gauge of certain courses. This setting was used until X3 VS 2ndMIX.
- Only DanceDanceRevolution game that can select unavailable and nonexistent difficulties.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game where the player can set options on ENCORE EXTRA STAGE.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game to show difference of increment scores between the current player and the player that attained machine-specific high score under stepping judgment during game play.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game to have TRAINING MODE before the game begins, which only appears on the first stage. Once enabled, it cannot be disabled; this feature was not carried to X2.
- If the selected song has a BEGINNER chart, that will be used. Otherwise, option CUT is set to ON1. This was used until X3 VS 2ndMIX.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game to include USB ports for importing edit data of certain available songs.
- Also the first to show an icon for Edit on the upper right hand corner of title screen.
- Last DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to use song banners.
- Also the last DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to use the songwheel interface used since 5thMIX.
- e-AMUSEMENT support for DanceDanceRevolution X was advertised for North America [1], but it was never available for the game on that region.
- Color labeling on the Music Select screen has changed since SuperNOVA2. It's now as follows:
- yellow for new licenses and contest songs.
- blue for new KONAMI originals / BEMANI crossovers.
- purple for "X-mix" songs.
- red for current EXTRA STAGE and ENCORE EXTRA STAGE songs.
- white for older songs.
- In X's location test, new songs were simply all yellow; older songs were white.
- eAMUSEMENT support for DanceDanceRevolution X ended on August 31st, 2010.
- New songs: 89
- Total songs: 392 (Asia), 388 (North America/Europe)

Xmix
The following songs are medleys of several DanceDanceRevolution X and SuperNOVA2 songs. Much like the DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX Long Version songs, playing an Xmix takes two non-Xmix stages. None of the Xmixes have BEGINNER or CHALLENGE charts. They appear on second to the FINAL STAGE when selecting songs other than Xmix.

Unlockable Songs
FINAL / EXTRA STAGE / ENCORE EXTRA STAGE
All songs new to DanceDanceRevolution X were unlocked for normal play on October 1st, 2009, except PARANOiA MAX～DIRTY MIX～ in roulette(X-Special).
On FINAL STAGE, the available difficulties for On The Break depend on the performance grade the player obtains on any stage prior to FINAL STAGE:
- AA or AAA: all difficulties available.
- A on any difficulty: only that difficulty is available. If an A is obtained in CHALLENGE difficulty, EXPERT will be available for FINAL STAGE instead.
By clearing On The Break (or RANDOM, using the available difficulties for On The Break) on FINAL STAGE with a AA or AAA, EXTRA STAGE will be available afterwards.
On EXTRA STAGE, the player must select either SABER WING or SABER WING (AKIRA ISHIHARA Headshot mix) (using the available difficulty for SABER WING), or an EXTRA STAGE-exclusive X-Special chart, and obtain AA or AAA to proceed to ENCORE EXTRA STAGE afterwards.
During EXTRA STAGE, the LIFE GAUGE is restricted to LIFE4; the number of lives on EXTRA STAGE depend on the score obtained on FINAL STAGE.
| Score on FINAL STAGE | Number of lives on EXTRA STAGE |
|---|---|
| 975,000 - 1,000,000 | 4 |
| 962,500 - 974,990 | 3 |
| 0 - 962,490 | 2 |
X-Special Charts
Exclusive to the arcade version of DanceDanceRevolution X are X-Special Charts, which are old DanceDanceRevolution original songs with brand-new, CHALLENGE-exclusive charts. These charts are initially only playable on the EXTRA and ENCORE EXTRA STAGEs. Each mix consists of two songs: an EXTRA STAGE and an ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. There are 8 sets of songs from the first game through EXTREME (in the case of DDRMAX through EXTREME, the EXTRA and ENCORE EXTRA STAGEs are in the same pattern as the original games' songs). These charts are all listed under their original category, before being moved to the DanceDanceRevolution X category in X2, despite being old songs.
The first set of stages (for the 1st game) were added on February 12th, 2009. The other songs were added to DanceDanceRevolution X on March 16th, 2009, but were not unlocked until much later. To unlock the X-Special charts, the player must complete certain requirements for the FINAL STAGE, usually relating to the mix of origin of the song set. All the X-Special charts were unlocked for normal play on October 1st, 2009 (except PARANOiA MAX～DIRTY MIX～ in roulette(X-Special)).
PARANOiA MAX～DIRTY MIX～ in roulette(X-Special) appears only on ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. To select it, player must select SP-TRIP MACHINE～JUNGLE MIX～(X-Special) on EXTRA STAGE and obtain AA or AAA, and use RANDOM selection and CHALLENGE difficulty on ENCORE EXTRA STAGE.
