{|class="wikitable"

New "Happy" and "Pro" play modes. Happy mode is designed for beginners, with a simplified interface and reduced song list. Pro is basically the "normal" mode.

{|class="wikitable"

Two new options have been added. The first are HIDDEN+ and SUDDEN+, which is the alternate method of applying HIDDEN and SUDDEN that can be activated using the up and down buttons on the cabinet. The second is the RISKY option, which give the player one life bar (like in ENCORE EXTRA STAGE). If the player misstep, the stage will end and skipped to the next stage. This is useful for the players who want to achieve higher scores. In addition, SPEED can also be adjusted using the up and down buttons on the cabinet.
MARATHON MODE, exclusive for PASELI owners. Players can play using PASELI e-money system to as many stages as they want, up to 7. Certain CHALLENGE charts of the songs are also available only in this mode.
BATTLE MODE have been removed from the game.
Step Rating BOO is renamed back to MISS and merged with N.G. ALMOST have been removed entirely.

Extra Stage

Extra Stage system in this game have been changed. There is no longer songs exclusive on Final Stage that required to access Extra Stage as with previous versions. The special song available in Extra Stage is KIMONO PRINCESS, but only on certain difficulties based on the sum of difficulty ratings and the number of stages on the credit. The list are:

2 stages = +Beginner: 12 +Basic: 13 +Difficult: 19 +Expert: 27
3 stages = +Beginner: 18 +Basic: 19 +Difficult: 28 +Expert: 40
4 stages = +Beginner: 24 +Basic: 25 +Difficult: 37 +Expert: 53
5 stages = +Beginner: 30 +Basic: 31 +Difficult: 46 +Expert: 66

The requirements for getting the batteries from DDR X are still retained in this game. The players can choose options for Extra Stage.

Encore Extra Stage

To access EES, simply get AA or better on KIMONO PRINCESS on Expert during Extra Stage. Unlike previous version where the players may choose any song, EES have been reverted back to DDRMAX-era, where only a specific song can be played. The song is Roppongi EVOLVED on Expert. The version of the song are chosen randomly. Players are still able to set options to EES.

Replicant-D Action

For Replicant-D Action, each song have their own requirements to access them. Pierce The Sky is accessed by passing at least 20 songs in the X2 folder. Sakura Sunrise is accessed by passing at least 2 songs in each song folders (at least 24). Shiny World is accessed by passing 6 courses and 1 drill course. POSSESSION is accessed by getting at least 100 difficulty ratings on CHALLENGE difficulty, then score AA or better on Pierce The Sky and Sakura Sunrise on the same difficulty. New Decade is accessed by getting full combo on 15 different stepcharts (not necessarily different song), then score AA or better on Sakura Sunrise and Shiny World on the same difficulty. Anti-Matter is accessed by playing Trial Mode 3 times, then score AA or better on Pierce The Sky and Shiny World on the same difficulty. (Note that POSSESSION, New Decade, and Anti-Matter's difficulty depends on what difficulty the player pass on previous songs). Scoring AA or better on each song would net a medal.

When the player subsequently earn all six, the player immediately access the Encore Extra Stage, Valkyrie dimension on Expert. The player is forced to play the song, which means the player cannot change options.

DDR releases. There are a total of 445 songs in this game.

One of the new features included in the main game mode is a special "extra stage" system. Known as Replicant D-action, this mode allows players to choose from a set of 6 difficult songs, 3 level 14's (slower songs) and 3 level 17's (faster + tempo change songs). When a player gets rank AA or more one of these songs (any difficulty), they receive a medal for that particular track. When players subsequently earn all 6 medals, they can access the Encore Extra Stage, "Valkyrie dimension" (Expert). Valkyrie Dimension can only be accessed as an Encore Extra Stage by AA'ing (or higher) any of the 6 Replicant D-action songs as their Extra Stage; you will immediately go straight to the song with no way to change your modifiers or rest for song selection unlike previous mixes. Valkyrie Dimension is known as the first song in the series is harder than the "Extra Stage" despite having one life, let alone the most difficult song in the entire series.

In March 23, 2011, Konami introduced a special promotion called APPEND Festival. This allowed players to unlock 2 special songs for 5 BEMANI games, including DDR X2 and the recently released upgrade version of jubeat knit, jubeat knit APPEND.

Below is a list of songlist changes featured in the final version Rows labeled in bold type represent songs that need to be unlocked in order to play them. A clapperboard indicate a special background videos will be played during the song. However, some of the background videos (mostly from Beatmania IIDX) are actually displayed on the large screen of the background (where the character is dancing) instead of displaying it full screen (mainly because they are considered to be too generic or distracting). A "clapperboard" (bg) will indicate such songs.
