'''''Dance Dance Revolution A3'''''<!--{{efn|{{nihongo||JAPANESE|DansuDansuReboryūshon Ēsu Tsū ō}}}}--> (pronounced Ace Three) is a [[music video game]], the 18th installment of the ''[[Dance Dance Revolution]]'' arcade series in Japan, and the sequel to ''[[Dance Dance Revolution A20]]''. The game was released as an update on golden cabinets in Japan on March 17, 2022, including those imported in the United States. An upgrade for all other existing Dance Dance Revolution cabinets were released in Japan, Korea, Australia, and various Asian territories on June 22, 2022.

==Features==
''Dance Dance Revolution A3'' now has the ability for players to switch between Single and Double gameplay styles on the same credit, done by pressing [3] on the numeric keypad. Additionally, the "Premium Play" feature for 20th anniversary cabinets, once limited to users of the PASELI digital currency service in Japan, is now available in the United States. Due to style switches, the selected play style is now indicated on the MUSIC SELECT and TOTAL RESULT screens.

Additionally, all 4-song courses prior to DDR A20 PLUS have been removed.

==Events==

===Extra Stage===
The Extra Stage system retains the star requirement introduced in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution X3 vs. 2ndMix|Dance Dance Revolution X3 VS 2ndMix]]''. The player is required to obtain 9 stars in a round to be allowed an extra song, the number of stars of which is determined by the player's grade. Extra Stages can only be obtained in Premium Mode.

====Extra Exclusive====
This folder is essentially a replacement for the traditional Extra Stage system of the previous games: the songs in this folder are marked in red and can only be played in Extra Stage.

====Extra Savior A3====
Originally from ''[[Dance Dance Revolution A20]] PLUS'', Extra Savior, now renamed ''Extra Savior A3'', was added on July 21, 2022 and allows the player to unlock hidden songs by playing them in Extra Stage. These not only include new additions for this game, but also some hidden songs yet to be unlocked for the general public from previous games. Due to the introduction of switching play styles, both gauges for the respective play styles (blue for Single, pink for Double) are now displayed together, and playing the selected play style will fill the respective gauge more than the other gauge. As usual, charts are always unlocked in order: BEGINNER (only in SINGLE and is unlocked by selecting song) → BASIC → DIFFICULT → EXPERT. First, all new EXTRA SAVIOR songs are added on 20th Anniversary Model cabinets, and 4 days later for regular cabinets (Supernova2, X and white).

===Course Trial A3===
Originally from ''[[Dance Dance Revolution A20]] PLUS'', the Course Trial unlocking system, now renamed ''Course Trial A3'', allows players to unlock songs by clearing courses from the Course Trial folder. During the event duration, clearing the courses once will unlock new songs. Playing the course after the deadline will make it difficult for all players to unlock songs because EX-SCORE will be used for it.

==Music==
{{main|Music of Dance Dance Revolution (2013-present)}}
''Dance Dance Revolution A3'' featured 10 new songs at launch, for a total of 1,009. As of August 17, 2022, an additional 51 songs were added to the game and 7 Japanese licenses were removed, bringing the song total to 1,053.

On May 19, 2022, "[[Undertale Soundtrack|Megalovania]]" by [[Toby Fox]] was added to the game.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Yashiki|first1=Yuta|title=「UNDERTALE」より楽曲「MEGALOVANIA」がAC「DanceDanceRevolution A3」に追加!|url=https://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1410533.html|access-date=19 May 2022|work=GAME Watch|date=19 May 2022|language=ja}}</ref> The song, which originates from the 2015 video game [[Undertale]], has since been featured in several video games, including [[GuitarFreaks and DrumMania|Gitadora High-Voltage]] by Konami and [[StepManiaX]] by Step Revolution.
