General Information / Changes
- First European DanceDanceRevolution arcade release to be named "DanceDanceRevolution" instead of "Dancing Stage".
- Difficulty ratings have been expanded from 1-10 to 1-20. Older songs were re-rated to reflect this (see the DanceDanceRevolution X difficulty changes list).
- Much like DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution 6thMIX- did in 2001, X changed up a lot of things in the series:
- New announcers, Justin and Wil-Dog from Ozomatli, replace Londell "Taz" Hicks from DDRMAX, which would be used in the series up to DanceDanceRevolution A3.
- The game now runs on BEMANI PC, running at 720p widescreen with HD graphics on new cabinets, though at the cost of bugginess (the North American and European versions of X and its sequel run on modified Dell PCs instead).
- New arrows in the form of Shock Arrows; exclusive to CHALLENGE charts, they feature an icon near the banner when the chart is selected. Stepping on them results in your gauge going down like a misstep would.
- CD designs for songs return for the first time since since DanceDanceRevolution 4thMIX CS.
- Characters can now dance to dedicated dance routines. Selected HOTTEST PARTY crossovers had their 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).
- New mods added: nine new SPEED modifiers (x2.5, x3.5, x4, x4.5, x5.5, x6, x6.5, x7, and x7.5), SCREEN FILTER (to mask your play area, with the options of OFF, DARK, DARKER, and DARKEST), CUT modifier ON being renamed to ON1, with a new ON2 modifier that removes all non-4th/8th notes.
- Modifier text colors are now distinguishable in options: green for default, white for modified.
- Combos are now color-coded, based on judgements obtained during a song: white for all MARVELOUS, yellow for at least one PERFECT, and green for at least one GREAT.
- Getting a FULL COMBO will now produce a laser-beam splash effect, with the color based on the combo color attained.
- Obtaining an N.G. from a Freeze Arrow or a set of Shock Arrows now breaks your combo.
- Many charts were adjusted to use proper triplets (12th, 24th, and 48th notes), instead of rounding them to the nearest 64th note.
- 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).
- Options can now be set on ENCORE EXTRA STAGE.
- 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.
- Only DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to feature background dance stages from the HOTTEST PARTY Wii games.
- First DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to feature licenses from A Different Drum records, which were previously exclusive to the Xbox / Xbox 360 series DanceDanceRevolution games.
- Also, first DanceDanceRevolution game released in Japan to feature licenses from that label.
- 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.
- A third cut-in type is introduced; a different portrait of the player's selected character that appears when the player is halfway through the song and again when the player is 90% done with the song.
- 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.
- First and only game with Xmix songs, double-length songs consisting of medleys of songs from DanceDanceRevolution X and SuperNOVA2; playing an Xmix song takes two non-Xmix stages. They appear on the penultimate STAGE when selecting songs other than Xmix.
- 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.
- System BGM composed by Drew Campbell.
- First arcade DanceDanceRevolution game to:
- Not involve 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.
- Provide an extra second after the countdown timer is over to give the player a chance to choose option.
- Play back a sample of a selected song almost instantly after selecting from the previous/next song.
- Play back a random announcer message when 20 seconds remain on the countdown timer.
- Give a 10 second warning (instead of 5 as in SuperNOVA2) when low on time on music select.
- To have music playing on the results screen.
- Show stars throwing beyond the stepping zone for MARVELOUS timing (this was also used in the sequel).
- Include USB ports for importing edit data of certain available songs, as well as shown an icon for Edit on the upper right hand corner of the title screen.
- Show a difference of scores between the current player and the player that attained machine-specific high scores under stepping judgment during game play.
- 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.
- Last arcade DanceDanceRevolution game to:
- Use song banners.
- Use the songwheel interface used since 5thMIX.
- Feature BATTLE as a game mode.
- Show a message 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.
- Any FULL COMBOs obtained during the game now display at the end of a game.
- NONSTOP and CHALLENGE modes have been merged into COURSE mode, with some changes:
- Courses either use the traditional Life Gauge or a Battery system (eight on NORMAL, four on DIFFICULT), depending on how many stages are in the course. This setting was used until X3 VS 2ndMIX.
- Courses are categorized as: CONCEPT, RANKING (both being Internet Ranking courses), DANCE DRILL (Class mode-esque courses), and WEEKLY (player submitted courses).
- All Internet Ranking courses have two difficulties. DANCE DRILL and WEEKLY courses only have one difficulty.
- e-AMUSEMENT support for DanceDanceRevolution X was advertised for North America [1], but it was never available for the game on that region.
- In the North American/European versions, DYNAMITE RAVE received a new set of lyrics and vocals due to licensing issues. All remixes of the said song, as well as END OF THE CENTURY were removed in the said release.
- This change would take effect in Japan/Asia starting with DanceDanceRevolution X2.
- Color labeling for songs has changed since SuperNOVA2:
- yellow: new licenses and contest songs.
- blue: new KONAMI originals / BEMANI crossovers.
- purple: "X-mix" songs.
- red: current EXTRA STAGE and ENCORE EXTRA STAGE songs.
- white: older songs.
- In X's location test, new songs were simply all yellow, and all older songs white.
- eAMUSEMENT support for DanceDanceRevolution X ended on August 31st, 2010.
- Total songs: 392 (Asia), 388 (North America/Europe)

EXTRA STAGE
Requirements for obtaining EXTRA STAGE are identical to DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2; please see its page for more details.
To access EXTRA STAGE, the song played on FINAL STAGE has to be either On The Break or a song on RANDOM on any difficulty by obtaining at least an AA.
To access On The Break for FINAL STAGE, all songs prior must be cleared with at least an A on any difficulty (getting a AA will automatically make all difficulties available).
- If playing on BEGINNER, you must also obtain a FULL COMBO.
- Playing a CHALLENGE chart with a A only unlocks EXPERT difficulty.
- If playing on BATTLE, the CPU level must be at least two stars upon reaching FINAL STAGE.
- If playing Xmix songs, getting A will satisfy FINAL STAGE requirements automatically.
Clearing FINAL STAGE with a score between 950,000 and 962,490 gives the player two battery lives on EXTRA STAGE, between 962,500 and 974,990 gives three, and 975,000 or higher gives four. This is one more battery life compared to SuperNOVA2.
All songs new to DanceDanceRevolution X (except PARANOiA MAX～DIRTY MIX～ in roulette(X-Special)) were unlocked for normal play on October 1st, 2009, and its EXTRA STAGE system is still accessible.
SABER WING and its remix SABER WING (AKIRA ISHIHARA Headshot mix) are the only songs available by default during EXTRA STAGE, provided that the player accumulate the following foot ratings leading up to the EXTRA STAGE:
| Number of stages (1st STAGE to FINAL STAGE) |
BEGINNER | BASIC | DIFFICULT | EXPERT | Accessing Trigger |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 1 (2 x 0 + 1) | 13 (2 x 6 + 1) | 19 (2 x 9 + 1) | 27 (2 x 13 + 1) | 40 (3 x 13 + 1) |
| 3 | 1 (3 x 0 + 1) | 19 (3 x 6 + 1) | 28 (3 x 9 + 1) | 40 (3 x 13 + 1) | 53 (4 x 13 + 1) |
| 4 | 1 (4 x 0 + 1) | 25 (4 x 6 + 1) | 37 (4 x 9 + 1) | 53 (4 x 13 + 1) | 66 (5 x 13 + 1) |
| 5 | 1 (5 x 0 + 1) | 31 (5 x 6 + 1) | 45 (5 x 9 + 1) | 66 (5 x 13 + 1) | 79 (6 x 13 + 1) |
Clearing either EXTRA STAGE song with at least an AA will grant access to ENCORE EXTRA STAGE. Clearing SABER WING will unlock Horatio for the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, while playing its remix will get on the bounce or Trigger (providing if the player fulfills Foot Rating requirements above).
On The Break was unlocked for normal play on April 9th, 2009, followed by SABER WING and its remix on May 21st, 2009, Horatio on July 2nd, 2009, on the bounce on August 13th, 2009, and Trigger on September 17th, 2009.
X-Special Charts
Added on February 12th, 2009, X-Special Charts are special CHALLENGE-only charts for older DanceDanceRevolution songs from the first game through EXTREME. Each game consist of two songs where they are previously boss songs (in the case of DDRMAX through EXTREME, EXTRA and ENCORE EXTRA songs). These songs appear in their respective folders upon their appearance. Clearing the respective X-Special song with at least an AA grade will access the corresponding version's ENCORE EXTRA STAGE.
The other seven set of songs were added on March 16th, 2009 and all of these songs (except PARANOiA MAX～DIRTY MIX～ in roulette(X-Special)) were unlocked for regular play on October 1st, 2009.
