HOW TO PLAY
Dance Dance Revolution™ is a game that combines quick reflexes and timing with dance music. All you have to
do is press the correct Directional Buttons on the keyboard/joypad or dance arrows on the dancepad that
correspond to the arrow(s) that appear on-screen. The correct dance arrow must be pressed when it crosses the
permanent arrows inside the Step Zone. The Step Zone for each player is located in the upper part of the screen.
Build up your dance meter and continue to the next stage by successfully completing the dance steps. However, if
you continue to miss dance arrows, the dance meter level drops. If the meter drops to zero, the game will end.

DANCING TIPS/HINTS
In this section, you can see the High Scores obtained in GAME MODE (Letter Grade,
Maximum Number of Combinations, Stage Score).
• You are not penalized for hitting incorrect dance steps. You are only penalized for not hitting the correct dance
steps. Use this technique to your advantage by positioning yourself in advance to perform complex dance patterns.
• Avoid returning to the center while playing. Learn to move around and utilize both feet when possible.
• To execute certain dance patterns, it is sometimes easier to pivot your body and face different directions rather than
always looking forward at the screen.

succeed.
• Don’t forget the Lesson and Training Modes. These modes are key to learning how to play and master
difficult songs.
• Remember to use difficulty modifiers, such as LITTLE or SHUFFLE, so that songs at higher difficulties become easier
to learn or more fun to play.
• If you have trouble passing certain songs, remember that you can create your own dance steps for every song in

the original version of the song.

1. LIMITATION ON DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL KONAMI BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES RESULTING FROM POSSESSION, USE OR MALFUNCTION OF THE PROGRAM, INCLUDING DAMAGES TO
PROPERTY, LOSS OF GOODWILL, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW,
DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURIES, EVEN IF KONAMI HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBLITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
KONAMI’S LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ACTUAL PRICE PAID FOR THE LICENSE TO USE THE PROGRAM. SOME
STATES/COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS AND/OR THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATIONS OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND/OR
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL
RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM JURSIDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
2. Indemnity. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Konami, its partners, affiliates, licensors, contractors,
officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless from all damages, losses and expenses arising directly or
indirectly from your acts and omissions to act in using the Program pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
3. Injunction. Because Konami would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this Agreement were not specifically
enforced, you agree that Konami shall be entitled, without bond, other security or proof of damages, to
appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this Agreement, in addition to such other remedies
as Konami may otherwise have under applicable laws.
4. Miscellaneous. This Agreement represents the complete agreement between the parties and supersedes all
prior agreements and representations between them, if any. Only a writing executed by both parties may
amend it. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be
reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable and the remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall not be affected. This Agreement shall be construed under California law as such law is applied to
agreements between California residents entered into and to be performed within California, except as
governed by Federal law and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in
San Francisco, California.
