HOW TO PLAY
DanceDanceRevolution
UNIVERSE 3 is a game that combines quick reflexes and timing with dance music. All you
®
have to do is press the correct directional buttons or Directional Arrows on the DanceDanceRevolution
correspond to the arrow(s) on-screen. The correct dance arrow must be pressed when it crosses the permanent arrows
inside the Step Zone. The Step Zone for each player is located in the upper part of the screen.
Build up your dance meter and continue to the next stage by successfully completing the dance steps. However, if you
continue to miss dance arrows, the dance meter level drops. If the meter drops to zero, the game will end.
