Due to the introduction of switching play styles, both gauges for the respective play styles (blue for Single, pink for Double) are now displayed together, and playing the selected play style will fill the respective gauge more than the other gauge.

GOLDEN LEAGUE A3
GOLDEN LEAGUE A3 started on May 19th, 2022, for 20th anniversary model cabinets only. Please see the A20 page for more information.
New to GOLDEN LEAGUE A3 is the introduction of a scoring system, LEAGUE SCORE, which is determined by the combination of both EX Score and normal scoring (divided by 1000 and rounded down to the last integer; quadrupled when played on NONSTOP or Class courses). A fourth cutoff border, Advanced Border, is added, whereas if the total LEAGUE SCORE is achieved during the period, the players will receive rewards, with SILVER CLASS or better being eligible for the bonus. GOLD CLASS members (by accumulating at least 500000 points) will unlock the newest song instantly, while players with SILVER CLASS (175000 points) are able to access GOLD CLASS exclusive songs once the period ends.
Rewards are given at the end of each Period. At the end of each period, a song from A20 PLUS's GOLDEN LEAGUE is rotated out from BRONZE CLASS and made available by default to all players, regardless of cabinet model. The latest GOLDEN LEAGUE song will first appear in GOLD CLASS before being relegated to SILVER CLASS after two periods, followed by BRONZE CLASS after four periods, after which it is finally unlocked by default four periods later.
Older GOLDEN LEAGUE songs previously rotated out of the BRONZE CLASS are given new CHALLENGE charts. These charts are initially exclusive to GOLD CLASS members and for 20th anniversary models, but are made available by default for all players before the start of the following period.
The list of periods and its songs are as follows:
| Period | Duration | GOLD CLASS | Songs relegated to SILVER CLASS | Songs relegated to BRONZE CLASS | Songs unlocked | CHALLENGE charts added | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | May 19th to June 15th, 2022 | STAY GOLD | DDR TAGMIX -LAST DanceR- | Step This Way | Lightspeed | Avenger | 9th Dan (九段) course added (available for GOLD CLASS members). |
| 2 | June 23rd to July 20th, 2022 | Teleportation | THIS IS MY LAST RESORT | Come Back To Me | Run The Show | New Era | 10th Dan (十段) course added (available for GOLD CLASS members). 9th Dan (九段) accessible with SILVER CLASS or better. |

Iythe) | STAY GOLD | actualization of self (weaponized) | Yuni's Nocturnal Days | ? | Kaiden (皆伝) course added (available for GOLD CLASS members) 10th Dan (十段) accessible with SILVER CLASS or better. 9th Dan (九段) accessible with BRONZE CLASS or better. |

NONSTOP Courses
NONSTOP courses can only be accessed in 1st STAGE during Premium Play. Each course has four fixed songs; the difficulty level and the LIFE GAUGE option are not fixed, and can be changed on the song selection screen between the five difficulty levels (four on Double). If CHALLENGE is chosen, and a song in the course does not have CHALLENGE charts, the EXPERT charts will be used instead.
Players can only choose modifiers before the first song of the course (changing the LIFE GAUGE option to RISKY or LIFE4 switches these courses to CHALLENGE MODE); SPEED can be adjusted at the start of every song.
