** | ** A collection of 51 songs, this is the first XBOX DDR game. It is the only game on either the XBOX or the 360 to use the classic DDR background videos from DDRMAX-EXTREME, as the series would make up its own videos from the sequel onwards. It's also the only XBOX game to use the traditional songwheel from MAX-X as well. ULTRAMIX is most notable as the first CS DDR game to go online, where you can download song packs for money. 6 song packs of 5 songs each were released overall, all of them Konami originals consists of either DDR classics or new BEMANI crossovers (almost all of DanceManiax's Konami originals were put on the song packs). The uncut [[AFTER THE GAME OF LOVE]] makes its US CS DDR debut, and [[HYPNOTIC CRISIS|HYPNΦTIC CRISIS]] makes its ''only'' US CS DDR appearance in this game. No songs have Beginner or Challenge charts. ULTRAMIX overall contains 4 new licenses, 4 new CS songs, and 7 new BEMANI crossovers. | ||

** | ** A collection of 69 songs, ULTRAMIX's sequel introduces a new interface involving a more folder-like sorting order for songs, with smaller banner sizes but keeping the Groove Radar. Songlist has a much bigger emphasis on new licenses, original songs, and new crossovers than ULTRAMIX. Beginner charts are added (even for Double, a first in a DDR game), but are not saved. In fact, only 19 of the 69 songs are from previous Japanese DDR games. New, higher-res generic background videos are introduced, though a few of the licenses and originals have their own videos as well. 6 new song packs are downloadable as well, again each with 5 songs, some of them even licenses. Overall ULTRAMIX2 contains 23 new licenses, 12 new CS songs, and 15 new BEMANI crossovers. | ||

** | ** A collection of 71 songs, ULTRAMIX3 continues the trend of original songs ULTRAMIX2 did, with an updated interface featured a bubble background motif. The number of earlier Japanese DDR songs is even lower; just 15. [[BYE BYE BABY BALLOON]] finally receives song difficulty levels, its first appearance since MAX. Challenge difficulty (named Oni) is added, but isn't displayed on screen; press down on songs featuring the chart is the only way to access it. (Your score also doesn't save.) ULTRAMIX3 also contains an unlocking system, the first in the series. New song packs are lowered to just 3 (of 5 songs each), along with 2 temporarily free songs you could download. Like with EXTREME2 (which came out the same season), some of the licenses are ''Karaoke Revolution'' covers. Overall ULTRAMIX3 features 35 new licenses, 10 new CS songs, and 10 new BEMANI crossovers. | ||

** | ** A collection of 71 songs, this is the final game in the ULTRAMIX series. By this time the XBOX 360 was already out a year; ULTRAMIX3 was sold at reduced price of $29.99, versus the other games in the series' $40-50 price tags. Only 16 old DDR songs appear in this version; the rest is all brand-new material. Beginner and Oni charts finally save score, and several new modes of play are added. There are only 2 new song packs this time around, again each with 5 songs. Overall ULTRAMIX4 features 36 new licenses, 14 new CS songs, and 4 new BEMANI crossovers. | ||
