[edit] Gameplay
Core gameplay remains the same on DJ Troopers. The difficulty rankings are now represented using numbers instead of a series of blocks. A new hidden modifier called "ALL-SCRATCH" changes most of the notes to scratches.
[edit] e-Amusement
No new e-Amusement functionality was added to DJ Troopers
[edit] Extra Stages
If the player gets three AA's on two songs rated 8 and a song rated 9 (without use of the Random or Mirror modifiers) for Hyper or the total difficulties of the 3 AA'd songs adding up to 31 for Another, the player gets to play the Extra Stage, Time to Air by 青龍 (Seiryu). The stage is played on Hard mode, which removes the 80% groove gauge requirement, but will fail the player if it drops down to 0%. If the stage is cleared with an AAA and the player is playing on Another, the player gets to play One More Extra Stage, PARANOiA ~HADES~ by αTYPE-300, a crossover from the recently released Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA 2.
[edit] Military Splash
An additional extra stage-like system used on DJ Troopers is Military Splash, an extension of the VIP Room concept from Gold. The system is divided into 2 tiers, one containing 3 songs and a One More Extra Stage, and the other containing 4 plus another One More Extra Stage, aptly titled Military Splash #02. The songs contained on the first tier are Mirage Residence by Jimmy Weckl, Übertreffen by dj TAKA, TRIP MACHINE PhoeniX by DE-SIRE改, and the One More Extra Stage, TROOPERS by Des-TRACT.
To unlock Military Splash, the player must meet the criteria for any one of the 3 songs. To unlock Mirage Residence the player must get a Border Bonus (a pass with exactly 80% on the Groove Gauge) or Perfect Bonus (getting all Greats and Flashing Greats). To unlock Übertreffen, one must play a specific number of new songs. To unlock TRIP MACHINE PhoeniX, the player must play 2 songs from every song folder with an A or higher without using 5-key or Autoscratch. To access TROOPERS, the player must AA all the previous songs.
The second tier of songs in a similar fashion to the Cardinal Gate songs on Distorted, do not reveal their actual artists. These 4 songs are Do it!! Do it!!, Steel Needle, four pieces of heaven, and ICARUS. The OMES for #02 is MENDES by Humanoid.
[edit] Music
Notable songs from this version include:
- 少年A - a new remix of A
- Freeway Shuffle - a new dj TAKA song. Originally appearing on Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA 2.
