Section 2. Introduction

Dance Dance Revolution is the first DDR game to come out on the current generation consoles. If you've been a fan of the series from the previous two console generations you'll surely notice some of the new modes and the absence of a few modes from previous versions. But this is the biggest thing of all; THE PLAYSTATION MOVE IS REQUIRED FOR THE PLATINUM. The Dance Mat, while not required, will help speed up the calorie burning trophies. So the first thing you should do is secure both items, even if you just borrow them.

Section 3. Walkthrough

Before you begin working on the main part of the game, go to the TUTORIAL MODE and play through all the lessons (Playstation Move is Required) for two trophies. Whether you've been stepping for years or are just starting this introduces you to some of the new concepts in the game.

Section 3.1 - Training Mode Trophies

There are two trophies in here, neither of which are difficult. Choose a song, tweak the options and play through the song to get both trophies.
Section 3.2 - Workout (Calorie) Trophies

These trophies will come naturally as you play the game with the Dance Pad or Playstation Move. Just set up your workout profile and play the game, you'll get these long before you get the platinum. You can speed up the calorie burn with putting your weight at maximum and abusing how the Dance Pad tracks calories.

Section 3.3 - Dance Off Trophies

There are only two trophies here, both of which are easy but a bit time consuming. DANCE OFF MODE is made to simulate having 2 or more players utilizing the same dance pad but you can perform the requirements on your own.

Section 3.4 - Club Mode Trophies

These can be some of the most time consuming trophies around. You'll need to finish a song set (4 songs minimum) with a performance capable of every rank (D, C, B, A, AA, AAA). You'll also need to perform a set list of 20 songs, a combo of 1,000 steps and manage a score of 1,000,000,000. But the most time consuming part will be maxing out the status of every (non DLC) song, which is a sizable time investment.

Section 3.5 - Playstation Move Trophies

There are only a handful of these trophies and they're relatively easy to get. Using the Playstation Move you'll go into MOVE & STEP and knock these trophies out of the way. You will need to unlock all the songs in CLUB MODE before you can obtain all of the Playstation Move trophies.

Section 3.6 - Skill Based Trophies

These can be done in either FREE PLAY MODE or MOVE & STEP, I advise choosing one mode over the other and not doing both. These are the most numerous trophies. You'll end up needing to perform 100 AAA ranks, 100 full combos, get a score of 1,000,000 at least 100 times and perform songs with handicaps set on your arrows. These will probably take some time to get but most of these can be done by playing all songs on the two easiest difficulties.

Section 3.7 - Miscellaneous Clean Up

There are a few obscure trophies here. You'll need to activate the GROOVE TRIGGER 5 times in a single song on EXPERT (or higher) difficulty, get 3 CHAIN ARROW BONUSES and export a recording of a song you played through. Most of these can be attained while going through FREE PLAY MODE or MOVE & STEP for the Skill Based Trophies, but if you missed them you can focus on them now.

    This should be one of your first trophies in CLUB MODE. As you play through songs and fill their progress bars, they become harder with more tricks to throw at you and are more likely to change difficulties sooner. The longer you delay this trophy, the more difficult it will become to attain. If you feel you need to practice more you can do so in TRAINING, MOVE & STEP and FREE PLAY MODE.

    In CLUB MODE set the song count in OTHERS CLUBS to 20 and focus as best you can to reach this goal. If you're good at timing your steps to only get a GOOD rating the game will not throw many tricks or raise the difficulty. The game also seems to interpret GROOVE TRIGGERS the same as GOOD steps. This trophy also works well when going for BILLIONAIRE and DANCE MASTER.

  • Score 1,000,000,000 or more in CLUB MODE.

Secret trophies

  • Pull off a FULL COMBO with difficulty set to CHALLENGE.

    In FREE PLAY or MOVE & STEP MODE, on any song and CHALLENGE difficulty; hit every step with a GOOD or better rating.

  • Clear a song on DIFFICULT or higher with the arrows' APPEARANCE set to STEALTH.

    In FREE PLAY MODE on any song and difficulty on DIFFICULT; while selecting a song hit , go to the APPEARANCE options and adjust them until STEALTH is shown. Now clear the song.

    To have an easier time with the trophies that require you to tweak the options you can make a two player game. Have player 1 (you) set whatever options you need for the trophies while player 2 keeps their options to default. Player 1 can look at player 2's screen for an easier time.

  • Unlock the CHALLENGE difficulty level on every song in FREE PLAY MODE or MOVE& STEP (excluding downloaded songs).

    Not every song in the game has a CHALLENGE difficulty. In FREE PLAY or MOVE & STEP MODE play through every applicable song on EXPERT difficulty to unlock that songs CHALLENGE difficulty. The spoilers note every song with a CHALLENGE difficulty.

    Bad Romance, Hey Soul Sister, I'm Yours, Love Shack, My Life Would Suck Without You, Venus, We Are Family, A Geisha's Dream (Ruffage Remix), Curry Up, DOUBLE TORNARD, dreaming can make a wish come true, ever snow, IN THE ZONE, Let's Get Away, MAGIC PARADE, ONE SIDED LOVE, Private Eye, Rescue Me, Rhythms Inside, Share The Love, The Island Song, TIME, Top The Charts, TSUGARU (APPLE MIX), Wicked Plastik, MAX 300, CRAZY<3LOVE, New York EVOLVED

    Yes the song is pronounced "Double Tornado" but someone at Konami can't spell check.

  • Get 100 or more scores of at least 1,000,000 in RECORDS in either FREE PLAY MODE or MOVE & STEP.

    In FREE PLAY or MOVE & STEP MODE, get a score of at least 1,000,000 across 100 songs and difficulties. This trophy coincides with AAA COLLECTOR as you will have at least a score of 1,000,000 to earn an AAA rank.

  • Get 100 or more ranks of AAA in RECORDS in either FREE PLAY MODE or MOVE & STEP.

    In FREE PLAY or MOVE & STEP MODE, get AAA ranks across 100 songs and difficulties. This will be one of your more time consuming trophies as you need to get 100 AAA ranks. An easy way to do this is unlock all songs (50 total without DLC) and get an AAA rank on BEGINNER and BASIC difficulty. When you have 100 AAA ranks, go to RECORDS to earn this trophy.

  • Get a total of 5,000 or more kcal burned.

    Go to WORKOUT PROFILE, enter your weight and turn on the Calorie Counter. At the end of every song in FREE PLAY MODE, CLUB MODE, MOVE & STEP and TRAINING MODE you will see how many calories you burned over the course of the songs. Burn up to 5,000 calories.

    An easier way to cheat this trophy is enter your weight at the maximum (500 lbs), go to an easy song and mash the arrows on the Dance Mat (with your hands or feet). It counts calories for every time an arrow is pressed, so mash the arrows and your calories will climb much faster.

    Note: Requires the Dance Mat or Playstation Move.

  • Get the SONG STATUS to the max for every song in CLUB MODE (excluding downloaded songs).

    This trophy will be your biggest time investment. First you must unlock every available song (see SONG COLLECTOR), then you must play Club Mode over and over until the progress bar on every song is completely filled. The hardest songs (MAX 300, Crazy <3 Love, New York EVOLVED) only appear very late on the setlist and only past the 12 song mark, so it's best to set the setlist to 20 songs. To help make this go faster, it's best to keep your system free of DLC songs as they'll appear and hinder your progress to play songs you need for this trophy.

  • Unlock all the hidden songs.

    In CLUB MODE play through OTHER CLUBS songs until your Dance Status Bar is filled. Songs are unlocked as the bar gets filled and the final song is unlocked when you fill it to the top.
