** A collection of 71 songs, though few of them are from the [[AC DDRMAX|original DDRMAX arcade game]] (only one license, [[ORDINARY WORLD]], made the cut), though most of the CS crossovers and a few of the new KONAMI originals are in this mix. Most of the songlist consists of DDR KONAMI originals and Dancemania licenses from [[AC DDR 2nd|DanceDanceRevoluton 2ndMIX]] through [[AC DDR 5th|5thMIX]], some of which (like [[THE CUBE]] and many of the Club songs) have never appeared in a Japanese PS2 release. Also includes 5 new BEMANI crossovers, 5 new licenses, and 4 new remixes by [[Sota Fujimori]]. Also has Oni Mode, even though the original DDRMAX had no courses. First North American CS DDR game with Information Mode, which includes detail on each song and other info tracked by the game.

** A loose port of the recent arcade game of the same name, with some (though not all) of the new KONAMI originals, very few of the new licenses, and some of the game's BEMANI crossovers for a total of 74 songs. Most of the rest of the songlist consists of new licenses, songs from [[CS DDR STRIKE|DanceDanceRevolution STR!KE]], and leftover EXTREME songs not in the last three games. This is the first game since MAX CS (North America) to not have Challenge-only songs. It's also the only US PS2 DDR game with no Information Mode, and also the last one with an older Dancemania license; [[Sobakasu FRECKLES (KCP Re-Edit)|FRECKLES (KCP Re-Edit)]]. New license [[Robogirl]] from The Crystal Method was renamed from its original title Roboslut due to the ESRB. Unfortunately, 5 of the game's new songs can only be played online, and are not playable outside of online. (These songs were thankfully added the following game.) Overall SuperNOVA CS (North America) contains 14 new licenses (along with 2 from STRIKE!), and 6 CS songs (though 3 can only be played online).

** US-only DDR game, containing the US PS2's era smallest songlist at 40 songs. As the name suggests, it contains licenses from various Disney Channel shows at the time of the game's 2008 release. There are overall 20 licenses, all of them covers; the other 20 songs are KONAMI originals, but some require insane requirements to unlock, such as a full combo Marvellous on a song. The usual DDR dancer cast are replaced with various Disney Channel characters as well.

** A somewhat accurate port of the then-unreleased arcade version, containing all except one of the game's new KONAMI originals ([[A Geisha's Dream]], which wasn't out at the beginning of the game's arcade release either), and even has most of the arcade licenses, with a grand total of 75 songs. It is missing, though, the Japanese licenses (along with [[Koko Soko]]), the 5 new BEMANI crossovers, and some of the new options/display settings. It's also missing, like the later Japanese CS release, all the X-Special charts and HOTTEST PARTY crossovers. Most of the rest of the songlist consists of most of the remaining SuperNOVA 2 arcade songs not included earlier, along with the Japanese SuperNOVA2 CS songs (except license [[LEAVE ME ALONE]] and [[The flower in your smile]]) and [[SOUL CRASH]], the latter finally making it North American CS debut. Overall X CS (North America) contains 7 new licenses and no new CS/BEMANI songs.

** A collection of 70 songs (plus 30 new DLC songs and 30 from ULTRAMIX), 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. In fact, only 20 of the 70 songs are from previous DDR games. This is the first DDR title to feature the collaboration with ''A Different Drum'' records. New, higher-res generic background videos are introduced, though a few of the licenses and originals have their own videos as well. Beginner charts are added (even for Double, a first in a DDR game), but scores obtained in the mode are not saved. 6 new song packs are downloadable as well, again each with 5 songs. Overall ULTRAMIX2 contains 23 new licenses, 12 (6 DLC) new CS songs, and 15 (14 DLC) new BEMANI crossovers.
