Modes of Play
In The Groove offers various modes of play.
Dance Mode is the default mode of play. In this mode, a player chooses a number of individual songs to play (the default is three). After the songs are played, the game is over.
Marathon Mode is an extended mode of play. In this mode, a player chooses a predefined configuration of songs that may also have a predefined script of modifiers whose purpose is to make the song more challenging. Marathon courses typically have four songs, although some have five songs.
Battle Mode is a specialized "versus" mode of play. Two players (or one player against the computer) play three individual songs of the same difficulty. During the song, successfully executed steps fill up a player's "power bar". When the power bar completely fills, a modifier is applied to the opposing player's side.
Survival Mode is a mode whereas the player must complete a series of songs with designed modifiers, and avoiding time-out or the player fails.
