The game offers 4 gameplay types:
Lite Mixing - A tutorial and 3 songs can be played. The difficulty of songs is easier than latter modes, and unlike Popular Mixing mode, the result is not recorded on-line. This mode only contains a song pattern called Lite Pattern, and not all songs are playable in this mode.
Popular Mixing - Normal gameplay mode where 3 songs can be played. Most of the songs that appear have the Popular Pattern note chart.
Technical Mixing - 4 songs can be played. The player can select 3 songs from a disk set. The last song to be played is determined by the play result of previous 3 stages. Some of the songs on Technical Mixing mode may not be available in Popular Mixing mode. This mode contains a note chart called Technical Pattern, where songs have faster scroll speeds or different, harder notes in comparison to their Popular Pattern counterparts.
Platinum Mixing - Only available to people who have a Platinum Crew ID Card, and the machine they're playing on has to be connected to the internet (something common in Korean arcades, but less than often seen in America, where arcades have lost popularity). This mode features a series of missions. Player may be rewarded by Max points and items. Some of the hidden songs, song patterns, and Technical Mixing Discs Sets can be unlocked only through missions (although, players only get to use them a certain amount of times and after that, they have to complete the mission again to get more uses, and uses can be stockpiled onto each other). Events and online tournaments are also held in this mode. This mode contains a note chart exclusive to it called Special Pattern, though only a handful of songs have it. The Special Pattern is arranged in sets of 3 and every month, a new set of 3 songs get special patterns (ex: February 2009 Special Patterns is Flea, Supersonic, then Oblivion) completing them gets rewards.
遊戲提供四遊戲類型：
簡易模式：有個別指導與三首歌可以玩，困難的歌曲也比中等的模式更容易，但是結果不會記錄在網路上。
中等模式：普通的遊戲模式，其中有3首歌曲可以玩，大多數出現的歌曲會圖片來說明此中等狀態。
困難模式：有四歌曲可以玩，玩家可以從裡面選擇3首歌，而最後一首歌是否能玩是由前三首的成績來決定的，有些歌曲會在困難模式出現而在中等模式是找不到的，此模式包含了一份專屬的圖片。其中的歌曲有乎快忽慢的效果來增加困難度，很難與普通模式對應。
白金模式：只適用於擁有白金會員的人們，若在機台上使用他們的白金會員，就必須連接到網路上（在韓國的一些商場，小於眾人皆知的美國，常在商場失去歡迎）。這就是此種模式的特點與他一系列的任務。玩家可以得到回報，玩家可以得到報酬在MAX的點數及項目，一些隱藏的歌曲，困難模式和中等模式機台有藉著通過任務來解鎖該設置（雖然，玩家只要花費他們一定的時間和數額就可以得到報酬，但是他們必須完成任務再次擁有更多的用途，並且能儲存對方）。事情和在線上比賽也是在此模式下舉行的，各個模式所包含的圖表說明它所謂獨有的特別模式，但只有極少數的歌曲有，特別模式是安排在3套，每月一組新的3首歌曲獲得特殊模式（例如：2009年2月特殊模式是跳蚤、超音速和淹沒）成功的就會得到報酬。
