Pump it Up Zero is the 18th arcade game release in the Pump It Up series. It was released worldwide on February 1, 2006.

Zero contained a brand new interface, now featuring previews of background videos and the ability for two players to play on separate difficulties. Zero also contained the Easy Station, a mode containing a modified interface and a selection of easy songs. The Mission Station contained sets of songs played with specific conditions that must be met when they are played - such as getting a specific amount of a judgment for instance.

Another Step songs

Another Step songs are not entirely new songs. Rather, they are songs with steps which differ from their original counterparts, most drastically and some very experimental in nature. When the Another Step category was first introduced, the songs were not given a specific category. Generally, however, the difficulty of the songs range from easy to extremely hard, with some songs (for instance, Love is a Danger Zone 2 Another Nightmare) being impossible to complete without a second player. Another Step songs were reintroduced in the sequel, Pump It Up: New Xenesis. The songs that had Another Step charts are the following:

  • Novasonic - Another Truth (Modes:NM)
  • BanYa - Final Audition (Modes:CZ,NM)
  • BanYa - Extravaganza (Modes:CZ,NM)
  • BanYa - Final Audition 2 (Modes:CZ)
