I'm not counting Hottest Party 3 and X2 as "ports" of each other, since they have different interfaces and song differences.

Exclusive to DanceDanceRevolution (PS3) is a new mode called CLUB MODE, which is the game's only way to unlock new songs. Here, you dance from 4 to 20 songs, all determined for you. You start off playing in BEGINNER mode, but as you progress more and more and get more PERFECTS, you can play higher difficulty levels. You'll also have TRICKS thrown at you while playing, such as increased speed, arrow options on, and even a life bar. Do note that screwing up too many times will result in you being knocked down a difficulty level. You also have to pay attention to your gauge - if it goes down to 0 at any point, you automatically lose. (Though you will keep any points you earned.)

The purpose of this mode is to add to your DANCE SKILL bar. Each time it fills up a single whole column, you unlock a new song. The more points you earn while playing, the more the DANCE SKILL bar will be filled up. Each song also has its own SONG STATUS - raising this to a certain amount will allow you to play a song freely in your own CLUB, as well as unlock stats about a song (such as its frequency played, or its combo/jump/freeze amount). Do note, though, that increasing a song's SONG STATUS to a high enough level ''also'' raises its TRICK Level, which makes the song more difficult to play.

Do note that the Premium Pack songs can also be played in CLUB MODE. They count as one song.
