CS DDR X NA: Difference between revisions

The FINAL / EXTRA / ENCORE EXTRA STAGE system in this game essentially matches that of [[AC DDR SuperNOVA2]], complete with a 'queue' of boss songs that appear and 'downgrade' themselves to easier stages as the earlier ones get unlocked. Passing a boss song does not automatically unlock it for regular play; as with all unlockable songs they must be unlocked through Street Master Mode or by just playing a enough songs. During any special stage, you can still choose any song on the songwheel (not limited to only boss songs).

If an A grade or higher is obtained on any stage before FINAL STAGE, the special FINAL STAGE will appear, marked by red song text and a CD on the stage intro screen. The special FINAL STAGE can be played only on the difficulty or difficulties that the A grade was obtained on, unless the grade was an AA or higher, which enables all difficulties.

Unlocking the EXTRA STAGE requires obtaining an AA on the special FINAL STAGE. The EXTRA STAGE will be playable only on the difficulty or difficulties that the special FINAL STAGE was played on.

As in AC SN2, the EXTRA STAGE uses a battery life bar, starting with a number of lives based on the score obtained in the special FINAL STAGE. A score of 950,000 (any AA) gives one life, a score of 962,500 gives two lives, a score of 975,000 gives three lives, and a score of 990,000 (any AAA) gives the maximum of four lives. Unlike AC SN2, the battery segments will be rainbow-colored as long as no lives are lost, rather than only being rainbow-colored if the bar is maxed out at 4 lives.

Accessing the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE requires obtaining an AA on the EXTRA STAGE. The ENCORE EXTRA STAGE will be playable only on the difficulty or difficulties that the EXTRA STAGE was played on.

As in AC SN2, the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE always uses a battery life bar containing only one life, which is colored red. Unlike AC SN2, the word "Danger!" will not display over the lifebar.
