* First game to introduce CHALLENGE MODE courses.
* First DanceDanceRevolution game with CHALLENGE difficulty and CHALLENGE mode.
** CHALLENGE mode is a variant of NONSTOP mode, with courses containing a variable number of songs under a single difficulty. Unlike NONSTOP mode, players may not set any modifiers (some courses had certain stages forced with certain modifiers instead).
** When playing CHALLENGE courses, the Groove Gauge is instead replaced with a LIFE4 (depicted as a battery with three segments). Getting any four missteps (combo breaks and/or N.G.s on Freeze Arrows) anytime during a song will trigger an instant stage failure. LIFE4 would remain exclusive in this mode until the EXTRA STAGE system revamp in [[AC DDR SuperNOVA2|DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2]].
** Only DanceDanceRevolution title to hide the actual title from CHALLENGE-only songs by displaying their original version's title, banner and background when played in their respective courses. This was changed in [[AC DDR EXTREME|DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME]].
