Dance Dance Revolution A

Another expanded feature from previous DanceDanceRevolution versions is the "Clear Lamp" progress tracking system.

This allows players to quickly see how well they performed on songs directly on the Music Select screen.

These cabinets have a new Bemani PC Type 5 that runs Windows 7 Embedded Standard.

A mid-2017 update block all CHALLENGE-only songs and "Groove Radar" Special and X-Special charts to users without e-Amusement passes.

However, the game also introduces the concept of Extra Level which becomes an additional equation to the number of stars attainable.

Once again, Extra Stages can only be obtained in Premium Mode, and for Japan only, PASELI users must choice PASELI-Premium instead of PASELI-Standard due to renewal pay method.

The player's current Extra Level determines the number of songs available inside the folder.

If the EXTRA SAVIOR folder is marked in purple instead of green, the charts must be unlocked in order: BASIC → DIFFICULT → EXPERT.

On October 6, 2016, six Extra Savior songs were added which have an additional unlock requirement before the player can access them in the folder called New Generation Natsu no Ryuusei Festa 2016 (renamed as New Generation 夏の流星フェスタ2016 on Asian versions).

The player needs to play a round of either of the following three Bemani games: beatmania IIDX 23 copula, jubeat Qubell, or SOUND VOLTEX III GRAVITY WARS.

As promotion, clearing one of the songs added, Triple Counter, unlocks an alternate skin for one of three characters depending on the chart completed.

However, New Generation Natsu no Ryuusei Festa 2016 was not available in the North American release of the game until December 1, 2016.

If the player manages to score AA or higher in ENDYMION on Basic or higher difficulty as Extra Stage, the player is granted access to the Encore Extra Stage, ACE FOR ACES.

A special Risky dance meter is applied, in which scoring Great or lower immediately ends the game.

No time is allowed to change options, as the song immediately starts upon completing the previous stage.

One variant after any player completes this event, started on April 27, 2017, is Rinon's Adventure, but the steps can only be obtained in Extra Stage.

Selecting any of two EXTRA SAVIOR folders or other category retain the original UI.

Only SPEED, TURN, ASSIST and LIFE GAUGE options are changed by the user.

Legacy cabinets, initially running SuperNova 2 or an older release, feature a 29" monitor at 480p.
