Endurance mode encompasses playing through the five licensed songs on the game, or an entire CD from the user's collection.
Fitness mode is similar to Endurance mode. Weight is entered at the beginning which can be altered to the player's own weight, which can range from 10.00 kg to 200 kg. There is a calorie counter on the screen and mis-stepping displays "Pork Out" and "Gettin' Flabby" instead of "Miss". When a song is finished, the screen shows the number of calories burned and how far one would have to jog, swim or cycle to burn off the same number of calories burnt.
Creature mode gives the user a dancing creature avatar for each CD (or the one that comes with the five original songs). The initial appearance depends upon the chosen CD but the user can use some of the points earned by dancing in order to buy clothing and accessories for the creature, rather than graphic background themes. These creature accessories alter the appearance of the head, eye, chest, back, waist or wrist of the creature.
EyeToy mode allows the player to use the Sony camera as an input device as well as a conventional controller or dance mat.
Multi-player modes include:
Competitive "battle" modes, such as the simultaneous two-player "Creature Battle" mode, in which combo dance sequences can trigger special attacks
Collaborative and "Tournament" modes for two to 16 players (taking turns)
