Line 16:
* [[Button Mashing]]: Rolls.
* [[Critical Annoyance]]: No sharks here, but the background behind the arrows flashes red when a player is failing, and then just goes dark after failure.
* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]
* [[Dance Sensation]]: Quite a bit
* [[Difficulty Spike]]: A lot of people find Fly With Me's Expert chart more annoying than hard. Does a 9 footer really need all those jumps?
** Then there's Disconnected Disco. The Expert Double chart is just a contortionist's dream.
* [[Double Play]]: Has a separate set of high scores for every song and course, and a separate set of [[Hundred -Percent Completion|completion tracker]]. Not played as much as Single style. And just as stupid at times. With a few exceptions almost every official double chart in the series were written by M. Emirizan. The library of custom double stepcharts is very limited compared to custom singles.
* [[Easier Than Easy]]: Novice Mode, which provides similar assists to DDR's Beginner Mode (but with no 3D characters promoting improper foot placement, and forced consistent speed for all songs)
* [[Cute Kitten]]: [[Ear Worm|Little Kitty Mine Mine~]]
Line 29:
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Averted, somehow. When obtuse and baroque hints to unlock songs and charts were released, the fanbase quickly figured them out.
* [[Have a Nice Death]]: '''LIFE DEPLETED. ROUND FAILED.'''
* [[Hundred -Percent Completion]]: Getting a score of 100% on a song by getting all Fantastics, which awards the highest grade of 4 stars. The game also tracks percent completion rate for each difficulty level on the player's USB drive, displayed at the end of a set of game.
* [[Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels]]: Novice, Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert
* [[I Know Mortal Kombat]]: Playing a keyboard chart on pad hardly constitutes "dancing", but rather "stomping like crazy and hoping you get a good score".
Line 42:
** There actually has one built-in. Except you're not supposed to be able to get at it. The home versions have an Edit Mode, and can also accept edit files from it alongside save data on USB drives.
* [[Loads and Loads of Loading]] / [[Porting Disaster]]: The [[Play Station 2|PS2]] port.
* [[Luck -Based Mission]]: In addition to "Random" ([[Step Mania]] "Shuffle", inherited from ''DDR''), the "Blender" modifier ([[Step Mania]] "Super Shuffle", not in ''DDR'').
** Actually, "Random" and "Blender" (and by extension "Shuffle" and "Super Shuffle") produce learnable results as they are the results of an algorithm that produces the same chart every time. Random picks one direction and assigns it to another (for example all lefts become rights and all ups become lefts), while Blender assigns each individual arrow to another direction.
* [[Lucky Charms Title]]: the song "!", pronounced "bang", same as the way programmers pronounce an exclamation point in certain contexts.
