The FINAL / EXTRA / ENCORE EXTRA STAGE system in this game essentially matches [[AC DDR SuperNOVA2|the arcade release of DanceDanceRevolution 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 playing 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 a AA or higher, which enables all difficulties.

The special FINAL STAGE can be played only on the difficulty or difficulties that the A grade was obtained on (if Challenge was used, the Expert chart is the one enabled), unless the grade was a AA or higher, which enables all difficulties (except Challenge).


On the Break is the default special FINAL STAGE. After unlocking On the Break and Horatio, the special FINAL STAGE changes to Trigger. After unlocking Trigger and on the bounce, the special FINAL STAGE changes to Pluto.
On the Break is the default special FINAL STAGE. As each song is unlocked for normal play, the song that was the EXTRA STAGE becomes the special FINAL STAGE, and the song that was the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE becomes the EXTRA STAGE. Unlocking songs out of order (such as unlocking Horatio before On the Break) will not have an effect until the song would have been the special FINAL STAGE.
