Pump IT Up Pro - Gameplay

Gameplay

Gameplay in Pump It Up Pro is similar to other Pump games, but with slight differences. A new judgment, "Superb", is slotted in above Perfect on the ranking scale. Holds function differently as well. In addition to requiring that they be hit at their heads in order to register, holds are registered solely in quarter-beat increments. Some songs contain Rolls, which must be rapidly tapped in order to count. Individual taps on them increases the combo and the lifebar. Song difficulty is ranked on a 1-16 scale of colored blocks. All revival songs were re-rated to fit on the new scale. Some songs contain mines, which must be avoided.

Instead of the pads, Pro uses a set of buttons on the front of the cabinet to navigate the interface. A options menu activated with the red Options button is used instead of codes for gameplay modifiers.
