* UnintentionallyUnwinnable: The unlock missions for "FLOWER (STARDOM Remix)", "Impress", and [[VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution "RISING FIRE HAWK"]] are not possible to complete [[BadExportForYou in the United States]], as they require access to Extra Stage, which can only be earned in the Asia-exclusive Standard Mode.

* CheeseStrategy: Despite the game being a lot more freeform on your you hit the notes in the game, you can literally cheat most notes in unconventional means. Some players have [[NotTheIntendedUse used a swiffer or mop]] to hit all the arrows. Some also bring 2 or more friends to just mash.

%% * LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: PLEASE WAIT
* NintendoHard: Don't be fooled by its low skill floor, particularly in relation to ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution''. At the higher levels, you actually have to use proper dance techniques to hit the notes effectively; simply running in place a la ''DDR'' won't get you far.

Dance Rush is a new VideoGame/{{Bemani}} RhythmGame currently being tested by Creator/{{Konami}}. It's another dance game, except that rather than [[VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution a segmented pad with buttons corresponding to cardinal directions]], the game takes cues from touchscreen music games (and in particular, ''VideoGame/{{Chunithm}}'') by having a large "pad" divided into columns, and an angled note display akin to ''VideoGame/SoundVoltex'' and the aforementioned ''Chunithm''. The "pad" acts similarly to a touchscreen using infrared sensors, with tap, hold, and slide notes corresponding to the columns, as well as jumps and "down" notes. The notes are divided to correspond to which foot they're meant to be hit with. There is an emphasis on shuffle/running man-type moves, to the extent that this is actually one of the tutorials.

The cabinet also has a built-in camera for recording and saving gameplay footage to [=e-AMUSEMENT=] for upload to Website/YouTube and the like; it can also add sticker-like effects over your steps. The recording feature, as well as the nature of the gameplay, appears to be catering towards freestyle performers. Its soundtrack mainly features electronic music and J-pop.

* NintendoHard: Don't be fooled by its relatively simple controls, particularly in relation to ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution''. At the higher levels, you actually have to use proper dance techniques to hit the notes effectively.

** A crossover event brought the DDR A songs "Astrogazer", "Drop the Bounce", and "Electric Dance System Music" (the DDR A menu music) to the game in exchange for "Downer & Upper" and "Small Steps" on DDR A20. Notably, the lower-level double charts for these songs [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efNe_rOmtqI actually feature charts that approximate]] their ''Dance Rush'' charts (typically by having similar patterns, and holds and jumps in their respective places).
** Some of the crossover songs have charts referencing previous routines seen for the songs in other Bemani games; "Luv Can Save U"

** Memetic favorite "smooooch・∀・" was also added. In fact, its routine actually mimics the video.
** [[OnceAnEpisode Of course]], it wouldn't be a ''BEMANI'' game without some version of "FLOWER" in it. This time, it's a progressive house remix by DJ TOTTO.

* NoNameGiven: A few of the new original songs on the game were initially credited to simply "オリジナル" ("Original") with no artist given. Not even [[Memes/{{Bemani}} "BEMANI Sound Team"]]. Unless "Original" is a new member of said team...
** Though on release and subsequent patches, the songs ''were'' finally credited (albeit still using the controversial BEMANI Sound Team identifier, but still).

The game was released on March 24, 2018 aa ''Dance Rush Stardom''; Konami has not announced any official international release ... ''but'' it does have English, Korean, and Chinese localizations built-in as user and operator-selectable options, there are some U.S.-oriented licenses on the soundtrack, and [=Round1=] deployed the game to its U.S. locations.
