Dance Dance Revolution A3 (pronounced Ace Three) is a music video game, the 18th installment of the Dance Dance Revolution arcade series in Japan (the 9th in North America), and the sequel to Dance Dance Revolution A20. The game was released on the "20th anniversary model" arcade cabinets in Japan and the United States on March 17, 2022. An upgrade for all other existing Dance Dance Revolution cabinets were released in Japan, Korea, Australia, and various Asian territories on June 22, 2022, with an upgrade release in Canada and the United States scheduled for late summer 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. 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, now renamed Course Trial A3, unlocking system 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.
