* First European DanceDanceRevolution arcade release to be named "DanceDanceRevolution" instead of "Dancing Stage".
* First European DanceDanceRevolution arcade release to be named "DanceDanceRevolution" instead of "Dancing Stage".
* Difficulty ratings have been expanded from 1-10 to 1-20. Older songs were re-rated to reflect this (see [[DanceDanceRevolution X difficulty changes list]]).
* Difficulty ratings have been expanded from 1-10 to 1-20. Older songs were re-rated to reflect this (see the [[DanceDanceRevolution X difficulty changes list]]).
* New announcers, Justin and Wil-Dog from Ozomatli, replace Londell "Taz" Hicks, which was used in the series since [[AC DDRMAX|DDRMAX]].
* Much like [[AC DDRMAX|DDRMAX]] did in 2001, X changed up a ''lot'' of things in the series:
* This release retired the Python 2 hardware used since [[AC DDR SuperNOVA|SuperNOVA]] and replaced it with PC-based hardware (BEMANI PC). This improved the graphics quality of the game on all cabinets, and allowed 720p widescreen HD graphics on new cabinets, but also meant that the game was slightly buggier than its predecessors due to migration issues.
** New announcers, Justin and Wil-Dog from Ozomatli, replace Londell "Taz" Hicks from DDRMAX.
** The American and European versions of X and [[AC DDR X2|its sequel]] run on modified Dell PCs instead.
** First game on BEMANI PC, running on 720p widescreen HD graphics on new cabinets, though at the cost of bugginess. (The American and European versions of X and [[AC DDR X2|its sequel]] run on modified Dell PCs instead.)
* Shock Arrows introduced, exclusive to CHALLENGE charts, which feature an icon near the banner when the chart is selected. Stepping on them results in your gauge going down like a misstep would.
** New arrows in Shock Arrows; exclusive to CHALLENGE charts, they feature an icon near the banner when the chart is selected. Stepping on them results in your gauge going down like a misstep would.
** Unlike the [[CS DDR X NA|console]] [[CS DDR X JP|versions]], a special lightning background is not played when said charts are played.
** CD designs for songs return for the first time since since [[CS DDR 4th|DanceDanceRevolution 4thMIX CS]].
* First DanceDanceRevolution game since [[CS DDR 4th|DanceDanceRevolution 4thMIX CS]] to have CD designs for a handful of songs when selected.
** Characters can now dance to dedicated dance routines. Selected HOTTEST PARTY crossovers had their dance routines carried over, while selected X songs received new dance routines. For new songs without dedicated dance routines (excluding X-Specials), characters will dance a different choreography from the HOTTEST PARTY games depending on the maximum BPM of the song:
*** 131 to 159 BPM: [[escape]] or [[Closer to my Heart (jun remix)]].
*** 160 BPM or higher: [[I WANT YOUR LOVE (Darwin remix)]] or [[REACH THE SKY (Orbit1 remix)]].
** New mods added: nine new SPEED modifiers (x2.5, x3.5, x4, x4.5, x5.5, x6, x6.5, x7, and x7.5), SCREEN FILTER (to mask your play area, with the options of OFF, DARK, DARKER, and DARKEST), CUT modifier ON is renamed to ON1, with a ON2 modifier that removes all non-4th/8th notes.
** Modifier text colors are now distinguishable in options: green for default, white for modified.
** Combos are now color-coded, based on judgements obtained during a song: white for all MARVELOUS, yellow for at least one PERFECT, and green for at least one GREAT.
** Getting a FULL COMBO will now produce a laser-beam splash effect, with the color based on the combo color attained.
** Obtaining an N.G. from a Freeze Arrow or a set of Shock Arrows now breaks your combo.
** The game engine now properly supports triplets (12th, 24th, and 48th notes), instead of rounding them to the nearest 64th note.
* Scoring system is similar to [[AC DDR SuperNOVA2|SuperNOVA2]]'s, with some modifications:
* Scoring system is similar to [[AC DDR SuperNOVA2|SuperNOVA2]]'s, with some modifications:
**'''Step Score (SC):''' 1.000.000 ÷ (Number of steps [A jump will be considered a step in scoring] + Number of Freeze Arrows [A pair of Freeze Arrows that start at the same time will be considered as one Freeze in scoring] + Number of 4-way or 8-way Shock Arrows).
**'''Step Score (SC):''' 1.000.000 ÷ (Number of steps [A jump will be considered a step in scoring] + Number of Freeze Arrows [A pair of Freeze Arrows that start at the same time will be considered as one Freeze in scoring] + Number of 4-way or 8-way Shock Arrows).
* Options can now be set on ENCORE EXTRA STAGE.
* The [[AC DDR EXTREME|EXTREME]] folder from SuperNOVA2 is now separated into eight folders: 1stMIX→EXTREME.

*** 160 BPM or higher: [[I WANT YOUR LOVE (Darwin remix)]] or [[REACH THE SKY (Orbit1 remix)]].
*** This carried over from X2 to [[AC DDR 2014|2014]], after which they were replaced in [[AC DDR A|DanceDanceRevolution A]] by the routines introduced in the ULTRAMIX series instead for all songs without dedicated dance routines.
* The BOOM BOOM BOOM stage background now features a slightly different background from the one used in the [[CS DDR X NA|CS]] [[CS DDR X JP|releases]]. This would carry over to every subsequent installment.
