Pump It Up Pro (abbreviated as PIUPRO or Pump Pro, and marketed as Pump It Up PRO) is a series of Rhythm games produced by Fun in Motion and published by Andamiro. The product is a spin-off of Pump It Up, and is developed separately from the main series. Pump It Up Pro was designed with the intent of getting players who normally play 4-panel dance games into 5-panel dancing. The game utilizes a build of StepMania 4 for its engine. The game can be purchased inside a FX cabinet, or as an upgrade kit for SX and GX cabinets running MK6 or MK7 hardware (which includes the button panel for the front of the machine, USB ports, the hard drive, the marquee graphics, and optionally the MK6 hardware).
Notable contributors include Kyle Ward, who also contributed many songs and step charts. A sequel was confirmed on a blog post on his website.
Pump It Up PRO 2 was released in Summer 2010 as both an upgrade kit and dedicated cabinet.
Another sequel, Infinity, is set for an upcoming release later in 2012. However Infinity incorporates elements form the main series of Pump, such as more PIU oriented gameplay and improved graphical presentation.

“The upbeat lawyer/negotiator of preadolescence has become a real pro by now—cynical, shrewd, a tough cookie. You’re constantly embroiled in a match of wits. You’re exhausted.”
