General Information / Changes
- First DanceDanceRevolution game for the Nintendo Wii.
- First non-Xbox DanceDanceRevolution game to support a widescreen (16:9) aspect ratio.
- Released as Dancing Stage HOTTEST PARTY in Europe and Oceania.
- All licenses are covers.
- Main gameplay is focused on gimmicks, based on the gimmicks from DanceDanceRevolution with MARIO, but these can be turned off. The gimmicks are as follows:
- Screen Stomper - Screen Stompers appear as arrows surrounded by a spherical bracket, and must be stepped on in order to keep the playfield from being obscured by a Screen Block. In BATTLE mode, scoring better moves the opponent's Screen Block up. In the Japanese version, this gimmick is known as Screen Arrow (スクリーンアロー).
- Double Stomp - Double Stomp arrows initially appear as frozen arrows, and must be stomped twice. In the Japanese version, this gimmick is known as Double Arrow (ダブルアロー).
- Foot Destructor - Foot Destructors appear as spikes. When stepped on, they decrease the player's dance gauge. However, if the player's foot is already on the panel when a Foot Destructor reaches the step zone, nothing happens. In the Japanese version, this gimmick is known as Bomb (ボム).
- Foot Confuser - Foot Confusers appear as arrows spinning around a sphere. They appear randomly from outside the playfield, but otherwise act the same as a regular arrow. In the Japanese version, this gimmick is known as Shoot Arrow (シュートアロー).
- Foot Missile - Only appears in BATTLE mode. It appears as a tridimensional arrow spinning around a cube. Hitting a Foot Missile moves it towards the opponent's playfield; missing it decreases the Dance Gauge considerably. In the Japanese version, this gimmick is known as Boomerang Arrow (ブーメランアロー).
- Hand Missile - Only appears in BATTLE mode. It appears as a tridimensional Hand Marker spinning around a cube. Function similiarly to Foot Missile arrows, but using Hand Markers instead. In the Japanese version, this gimmick is known as Hand Boomerang (ハンドブーメラン).
- Songs can use more than one gimmick, although very few songs have this distinction. This would become much more common starting with HOTTEST PARTY2, however.
- Total songs: 50
