    • Goods now give you 20% (-10 points) of maximum score (previously 0).

      • AA- for scores within the range of 890,000~899,990.

  • The music select screen now resembles that of the SOUND VOLTEX series.
    • Difficulty sorting style now follows other BEMANI games, with each Level folder containing all difficulties rated with said Level.
  • Options and characters can now be selected via the game's eAMUSEMENT website.
    • The Area Browser can also now be done via the eAMUSEMENT website.
  • Daily Star and EXTRA ATTACK systems have been removed.
  • A total of 8 songs released during DanceDanceRevolution (2014) were retrospectively moved to the DanceDanceRevolution A folder.
    • Included are the 4 licensed songs from the EDM~Exciting★Dance★Matsuri~ event, the 3 KONAMI original songs from the OSB~Winter★Special★Present~ event, and きゅん×きゅんばっきゅん☆LOVE.
  • Even for new songs, characters now use the old dance routines introduced back in DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA instead of the new ones introduced in DanceDanceRevolution X.
    • Also, the speed of the characters' movements are now influenced by the BPM of the song again.
  • The song title and artist are now centered rather than left-aligned within their box in gameplay.
  • AFRO, YUNI, JENNY, and RAGE have received new outfits.
  • Character cut-ins are absent.
  • "The Dark One" is now an unplayable character.
  • The Butterfly SPECIAL ARROW option has also been removed.
