Once the game is started, the first order of business is inserting a mode of payment: credits, coins or a [[eAMUSEMENT]] card with [[PASELI]]. After that, or otherwise, you will be taken to the Select [[#Selecting a Style|Style]] screen. After that, you will be taken to the Select Difficulty (Not since ???) or Select [[#Selecting a Mode|Mode]], and from there to Select Music or Select Course. In [[AC DDRMAX|DDRMAX]] or later, you can hold Start when you select a song to enter [[#Modifiers|modifiers]]. In earlier versions, you must use codes. After play, your score will be evaluated, and you will be returned to Select Music if not playing a course. When the game is done, a final evaluation is performed, and under certain circumstances you can enter your name.
To start a game, the user have to either press the Start button or insert a mode of payment. The following screens will then be encountered during a regular game:
*[[#eAMUSEMENT|Entry screen]]: Insertion of a valid mode of payment such as credits, coins or a [[eAMUSEMENT]] card with [[PASELI]] points.  
*[[#Selecting a Style|Select Style]] screen: Selecting a gameplay style from the 3 available which include 2 single player mode and a two players mode.  
**For versions prior to DanceDanceRevolution 2013, the following screens were available:
***Difficulty screen: The choice of difficulty for the game had to be chosen at this point.
***[[#Selecting a Mode|Select Mode]]: Selecting from one of the two modes: music play or course mode. In Course Mode, Select Course replaced Select Music as the next screen.
* [[#Selecting a Song|Select Music]]: Choosing the song(s) that are going to be played.
**In [[AC DDRMAX|DDRMAX]] or later, you can hold Start when you select a song to enter [[#Modifiers|modifiers]]. In earlier versions, you must use codes.  
*[[#Result|Result screen]]: After play, your score will be evaluated, and you will be returned to Select Music if there's still more stages to play.
**In Course Mode, the Result Screen was shown after the end of the course instead.  
*Total Results: When the game is done, a final evaluation is performed. In the older versions, under certain circumstances, you could enter your name.

Unlike most BEMANI series, DanceDanceRevolution has dedicated menu buttons. All DanceDanceRevolution cabinets have at least left, right, and start menu buttons. Cabinets that were sold with [[AC DDR X|DanceDanceRevolution X]] or later also have up and down menu buttons. The directional menu buttons are used to navigate menus, and the Start (green) button to make selections. Cabinets with eAMUSEMENT support also include a numeric pad with the following numbers: 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
