'''PASELI''' ('''Pa'''y '''S'''mart '''E'''njoy '''Li'''fe) is a digital currency service that can be linked with an e-amusement account. Depending on the titles, the exclusive features vary from game to game. As of [[AC DDR A20 PLUS|DanceDanceRevolution A20 PLUS]], by selecting PREMIUM MODE, you obtain:

* All STAGEs guaranteed. Even if the DANCE GAUGE is depleted, the song will continue until the end.

* LIFE4 and SPEED in 0.25x increments, from 0.25x to 4x (1x to 8x still use 0.5x increments).

: ''Modes that appeared only in a single mix are not included.''

Instead of picking individual songs, the player can select a course. A course is a group of at least four songs with each course having 2 difficulty levels. There are two lifebar types: the Normal lifebar, which similar to the standard lifebar; and the Challenge lifebar, where the player is given 4 or 8 lives (depending on the difficulty level chosen) that deplete on each Good, Boo, Miss, or N.G. When the player runs out of lives, they fail the course. Successfully clearing each song will regenerate a life or two. Before DanceDanceRevolution X, the COURSE MODE was split into two parts: NONSTOP MODE and CHALLENGE MODE. In DanceDanceRevolution A20, Courses are split into two parts: NONSTOP and 段位認定.

As of DanceDanceRevolution A20 PLUS, 14 modifiers are available in the game (during the Select Options screen) with a few choice options being exclusive to Premium Play (PASELI only in Japan, in yellow in the table). When using Versus Play, each user can have their own settings which have to be set before playing a song. During special events such as an EXTRA STAGE, the number of modifiers available is limited and some are set to ON to increase the difficulty.

Allows to change the speed of the arrow flow from 0.25 to 8 times faster than normal (x1) with matching spacing of arrows. During [[AC DDR X2|DanceDanceRevolution X2]] to DanceDanceRevolution (2013), the x0.25 and the x0.5 speeds were removed. In DanceDanceRevolution (2014), x0.25 and x0.5 were added back. A total of 24 speed modifiers currently exist with 9 of them being Premium Play exclusives.
