Gameplay

"Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova 2" features the classic Game Mode of "Dance Dance Revolution", including Nonstop and Challenge Mode courses. Battle Mode from the previous SuperNova returns. Replacing Stellar Master Mode from SuperNova is Hyper Master Mode, the main form of gameplay that allows new songs, courses, and other extras to be unlocked.

Hyper Master Mode

New to Master Mode is the use of the dancing character as a tool to help players advance through the levels. As players progress they earn points which can be used in the shop to buy new songs, courses, new modes of play, and components for the dancing character. These components, when equipped make passing song in Hyper Master Mode easier or harder depending on the player's configuration. It is up to the player to determine which components are best suited for each song.
