Note: About Key Patterns

• Depending on the key definition, multiple key patterns may be available.
• Some key patterns have different assigned keys, while others have different step zone layouts.
• These are extensions designed to make the game easier to play. Even if a certain key pattern is difficult, another one might be easier, so it’s a good idea to try out different key patterns to find the one you prefer.

• As shown below, you can also play a certain key mode as different keymodes.
• This is a unique feature of Dancing☆Onigiri (CW Edition), which offers a wide variety of play styles.
