==The scoring system for DDR 3rd Mix (including 3rd Mix Plus)==
==DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX/3rdMIX PLUS scoring system==
The scoring system for the 3rd Mix is very different. In this system, high scores are not determined by large combos, and the maximum score for any one song is 10,000,000 This is generally believed to be the most *fair* system of scoring, but many would rather totally annihilate their opponent with an exponentially higher score than for it to come down to a few points.

Also, there is a "bonus" for the final step of a song, that evens out the score to 10,000,000 if you get all Perfects.

*Note: A grade of AA or A overrides any other grade. If you have less than 80% of maximum Dance Points, but a Full Combo, the A grade overrides the B. Likewise, if you do not have a Full Combo, the highest grade you can get is an B.

==The scoring system for DDR 5th Mix==
==DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX scoring system==
DDR 5th Mix's scoring system is complicated. It is close to 3rd Mix is some ways, but different in others. In this mix, the initial difficulty counter has the largest effect on your maximum score. Also, there is a bonus applied at the end of the song based on your rank (ending bonus) (AAA,AA,A,B,C,D,E)

The scoring system for DDR MAX 2 (7th Mix) is as follows:
 
The scoring system is similar to DDR MAX, except freeze steps are calculated the same as a regular step, and the individual bonuses in MAX are gone for a much simpler scoring system. To clarify, if you step on a freeze arrow, you get the step score for hitting the step initially, and the next step score when you (if you) get an "OK" on the freeze arrow.

As you can see, I have 1915 Perfects, 197 Greats, 0 Goods, 0 Boos, 0 Misses, and all 36 OKs.

Now, dividing my number of points by the maximum number of points, multiplying by 100, and dropping everything past one decimal place, you get the same percentage result as that listed on the screenshot, 95.4% (In actual calculation it is 95.41%, though.)

Note: You combo counter only increased with a "Perfect", and double Perfect steps (left and right, etc.) only add 1 to your combo instead of 2. The combo counter thus becomes a "Perfect" counter.

Note on DDRMAX2 (JP/US) Home Version Endless Mode Scoring
The score you get for your combo depends on the difficulty you're playing. For example, you get more points per step playing on Light than on Heavy, but fewer steps.

Freeze Arrow: If it is OK'd, scores as much as its "step".
Freeze Arrow: When getting an OK on a freeze arrow, it scores as much as its "step".
For example, if you get X points by stepping on the freeze, then when the freeze finishes you will that that exact score again regardless of any arrows hit during the freeze. This means that if you OK a freeze arrow with a Good or Boo, you get zero points for the OK. NG's are worth 0.
