General Information / Changes
- First BEMANI game to feature a modernized version of an older game as a game mode. 2ndMIX MODE is a high-definition remake of DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX with all the songs except STRICTLY BUSINESS and the STEP BATTLE songs featured.
- However, this is not the first time 2ndMIX has been remade; a previous remake exists in DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX, though using the 3rdMIX interface.
- Characters in 2ndMIX MODE no longer have their original dance routines. They use the routines introduced in DanceDanceRevolution X and DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA instead.
- Interface theme is taken from DanceDanceRevolution II for the Nintendo Wii console.
- DRILL COURSE from X2 has been removed.
- Last DanceDanceRevolution arcade game to feature courses.
- All DanceDanceRevolution X2 licenses originally featured in DanceDanceRevolution HOTTEST PARTY3 have been removed.
- Subsequently, all licenses from A Different Drum records were also removed.
- Game will return to non-playing mode if neither HAPPY, PRO, nor 2ndMIX mode is confirmed for selection and the countdown timer is turned on.
- After selecting PRO mode, game will return to non-playing mode if none of the play styles aree confirmed for selection and the countdown timer is turned on.
- After selecting play style after selecting PRO mode, game will return to non-playing mode if neither Music Select nor Courses mode are confirmed for selection and the countdown timer is turned on.
- Target Score system added. The player can choose a different rival or their own score to track between songs.
- BEMANI TITLE sort option added. This sorts songs according to which of the other five major BEMANI series they also appear in.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game to use the Star system to determine if player gets EXTRA STAGE.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game where song selections under a selected folder are shown and the other folders are not shown. This is also seen in DanceDanceRevolution (2013).
- An update introduced QUICK PLAY mode, in which the player may pay to play on a per-song basis using PASELI credits, rather than pay for a set of songs.
- Last game in the X series of games. However, its interface and unlock systems would later be re-used in the subsequent game.
- First DanceDanceRevolution game to show one of four stepcharts in a song selection.
- Currently the last DanceDanceRevolution game to feature accessories as wearable customization for characters.
- New songs: 83

APPEND TRAVEL
APPEND TRAVEL was an event involving seven BEMANI series to promote the release of jubeat copious APPEND. Each BEMANI game received at least a brand new song, and could buy songs and special items using APPEND ENERGY.
The event started on March 14, 2012 and ended on September 25, 2012. However, it was still possible to unlock the APPEND TRAVEL songs but not buy the event items after that.
Items
APPEND TRAVEL allowed players using e-AMUSEMENT to earn APPEND ENERGY (AE) by playing the 7 participating BEMANI games. It was the only way to buy the collaboration songs for play in jubeat. It was also possible to buy special items such as customisation options and abilities for use in the other games during the duration of the event only. Once bought, a notification for the item will appear on the next login in the game.
The ENJOY LEVEL Boosters were enhanced (double effect) on August 2, 2012 to September 2, 2012 as part of the Summer Boost Campaign (サマーブーストキャンペーン).
| Item | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ENJOY FULL STAGE (エンジョイフルステージ) |
500AE | This support item makes it impossible to fail 1 song. It works in 2ndMIX MODE but can't be used in EXTRA STAGE, a course or when the modifier LIFE GAUGE is set to RISKY. |
| ENJOY LEVEL Booster 40 (エンジョイレベルブースター40) |
500AE | This support item speeds up the leveling process on ENJOY LEVEL 1 to 40 only. |
| ENJOY LEVEL Booster 80 (エンジョイレベルブースター80) |
500AE | This support item speeds up the leveling process on ENJOY LEVEL 41 to 80 only. |
| jubeat Mask (jubeat仮面) |
500AE | This is a character accessory. The jubeat cube is worn as a mask except for ZERO, he wears it as a crown. |
Unlock Requirements
To unlock songs, the event required the players to get Daily Stars (★), an item also used to access the EXTRA STAGE. A Daily Star is obtained on the first new play session of the day when using e-AMUSEMENT.
By default, TWINKLE♡HEART was unlocked on the very first day of the event, except for its CHALLENGE charts. In order to unlock the CHALLENGE charts, the player had to play five days in a row four times. It was possible to take a break after each set of 5 days.
After September 25th, the requirements were reduced for the last four items to be unlocked by getting 4, 5, 6, and 7 consecutive Daily Stars respectively.
| Requirement | Song | Charts Unlocked |
|---|---|---|
| 1 consecutive day | 隅田川夏恋歌 | BEGINNER to EXPERT charts |
| 2 consecutive days | アルストロメリア (walk with you remix) | BEGINNER to EXPERT charts |
| 3 consecutive days | FLOWER | BEGINNER to EXPERT charts |
| 5 consecutive days (1st time) | TWINKLE♡HEART | CHALLENGE charts |
| 5 consecutive days (2nd time) | アルストロメリア (walk with you remix) | CHALLENGE charts |

Daily Special
At AOU 2012 on February 17th, 2012, KONAMI announced a new event called Daily Special (デイリースペシャル) for e-AMUSEMENT users only. It began on February 20th, 2012 and ended on May 28th, 2012. During the event, a different BEMANI crossover was unlocked each day of the week from Monday to Friday only. Each day began at 7:00 am following the daily maintenance. The cycle of the song unlocking had been shuffled three times, on March 19th, April 16th, and May 14th, 2012.
On May 5th, 2012, an additional event called Weekend Special (ウィークエンドスペシャル) was added. During Weekend Special, the songs cycled hourly instead. This event also ended on May 28th, 2012, when all songs were unlocked for regular play.

EXTRA STAGE / ENCORE EXTRA STAGE
- EXTRA STAGE Requirement
In order to access the EXTRA STAGE, X3 introduced the "Result Star System", a feature available only when playing via eAMUSEMENT in PRO Mode. To unlock the EXTRA STAGE, the player must get 9 Result Stars during a game or multiple games. The Result Stars are carried over from one play session to another using e-AMUSEMENT. Once the player has unlocked the EXTRA STAGE, the 9 Result Stars are used and removed. When using VERSUS PLAY, once one player has obtained 9 stars, the EXTRA STAGE is unlocked and both players' Stars will be used in the process. The colors of the Result Stars have no importance, only the amount (9) is required to unlock the EXTRA STAGE.
Result Stars are given to the player(s) under specific conditions:
| Star(s) | Requirement |
|---|---|
| ★★★ | For obtaining the grade AAA. |
| ★★ | For obtaining the grade AA. |
| ★ | For obtaining the grade A. |
| ★ | For obtaining the grade B, C or D. |
| ★ | For a Full Combo (Except AAA and E). |
| ★ | For clearing a song. |
| ★ | Bonus for the first play session of the day. Added on February 2nd, 2012. |
The player can only obtain a maximum of 3 Result Stars for each song played. Thus, some types of Result Stars have priority over the other stars:
White / Yellow / Aqua Star > Green Star > Red Star > Dark Blue Star.
For example, a player getting a rank of AAA on their first song of the day will receive the three stars for a grade of AAA and the Daily Star (dark blue) won't be used. The Stars lost in this process are not carried over to the next game, as they are lost forever. Also, no Star is given for failing a song.
- ENCORE EXTRA STAGE Requirement
To unlock the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, the player must get a rank of AA or AAA on the EXTRA STAGE song. No Result Stars are needed in this case.
Unlock Schedule
At first, two exclusive songs, one for each STAGE (EXTRA and ENCORE EXTRA) were available. Similar to how EXTRA/ENCORE STAGE worked in previous games, more songs were added over time. This time around, songs were also added directly as EXTRA STAGE and other even kept their ENCORE EXTRA STAGE-only status until they were finally unlocked for everyone.
By November 5th, 2012, all the songs introduced as EXTRA/ENCORE STAGE have been unlocked for normal play.

EXTRA TOUR
EXTRA TOUR was announced on May 12, 2012 and started on May 14, 2012. In this event, four new songs were added as EXTRA STAGE.

After playing all EXTRA TOUR songs at least once, scoring AA or better on EXPERT on any of these songs unlocked the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, Tohoku EVOLVED.
The event ended on July 22, 2012. On the following day, all songs except Tohoku EVOLVED were freely available on the EXTRA STAGE and were unlocked for normal play on September 26th, 2012. Tohoku EVOLVED was unlocked for normal play on November 5th, 2012.

2ndMIX MODE
A completely redone DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX is featured as a separate mode in DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX. This revamped version features high definition graphics, 2ndMIX dancing characters, remastered banners (with the original typos), and background animations. Nearly all of the original gameplay found in the game was kept such as the modifiers requiring command codes in order to use them, COUPLE Play being available, and hidden songs with various requirements each to make them appear. Also, all the old terminology was kept such as CUT1 returning to its former name, LITTLE.
The notable differences between the original game and the HD remake are:
- The new widescreen ratio (16:9 instead of 4:3).
- The game goes 60 FPS now, instead of the original 30.
- All the songs from the LINK VERSION, STRICTLY BUSINESS, and the three STEP BATTLE songs were not included.
- DREAD and JANET are the only possible characters. It is not possible to change them with AFRO and LADY.
- 2ndMIX MODE difficulty is rated from 1 to 10, due to PARANOiA Revolution and TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION having a 10 and 9 in their charts, respectively. Originally, all songs in the game were rated from 1 to 8.

CROSSOVER DDR
On August 2, 2012, the CROSSOVER DDR event started. During the event, players can unlock every 2ndMIX song for play on X3's PRO or QUICK PLAY MODEs. The two exceptions are HERO, as the song is already in X3 (using the X-edit version from X2) and PARANOiA MAX～DIRTY MIX～(in roulette), as there is no Roulette option in X3. For their appearance in X3, every song received a brand new jacket composed of the disc seen in 2ndMIX. The song's banner was added on April 20th, 2012 at the bottom of the disc on the jacket. The unlocked songs appear in the X3 VS 2ndMIX folder instead of the 2ndMIX folder, but they would later return to their original folder in DanceDanceRevolution (2013).
In 2ndMIX MODE, the song list is divided into two parts: EASY / NORMAL Mode and HARD Mode. Each song must be played in its respective 2ndMIX's sub-mode in order to be unlocked in X3. Both SINGLE and DOUBLE charts have to be unlocked individually on every difficulty available: BASIC, ANOTHER, and MANIAC (Single only). After unlocking the first chart for a song in Single Play, the BEGINNER chart is also unlocked. Clearing all the three difficulties will also unlock the CHALLENGE charts for play in X3 Mode. In DOUBLE Play, clearing the two difficulties will unlock the EXPERT and CHALLENGE charts for that song in X3.
On June 20th, 2012, obtaining the rank of SS (a FULL COMBO-only grade in 2ndMIX) before the FINAL STAGE will unlock one of the two following songs for the FINAL STAGE:
- In NORMAL MODE (2ndMIX), TRIP MACHINE EVOLUTION will then be playable.
- In HARD MODE, PARANOiA Revolution will then be playable.
To make them appear in X3 and also appear later as EXTRA STAGE in X3, all the charts found in NORMAL and HARD MODEs, respectively, have to be cleared. Finally, scoring AA or better on these songs on EXPERT unlock the ENCORE EXTRA STAGE, LOVE IS THE POWER Re:born, a remix of a song that was previously only found playing during the ending credits of DanceDanceRevolution 2ndReMIX's ARCADE MODE.
On November 5th, 2012, all the 2ndMIX songs were fully unlocked for everyone.
