- Bottom screen provides timing feedback, showing how early or late you are
- Over 70 games returning from the GBA, DS, and Wii entries in the series
- GBA and DS games feature redrawn graphics to fit the 3DS resolution
- DS games have been modified to be controlled with buttons rather than touch input
- Some returning games also get brand new music
- All games feature the ease-of-use improvements featured in the new games

FAQ:
Q: Does this game use touch control like the DS game?
A: By default, everything is controlled with buttons, including the returning games from Rhythm Heaven DS. However, you can change this setting in the Cafe.
Q: Which games from previous versions are returning?
A: Here's a sampler. I'll add more in a bit.
Q: Whoa, this returning game has new music, what gives? Where's the old track?
A: Patience, friend! All returning games have their original music. Just keep playing.
Q: I've played, like, a million games, but haven't found a single remix! What gives?
A; Keep playing!
Q: Does the English version really feature dual audio?
A: All Western versions have dual audio. This is a first for the American release, but bear in mind that all new English songs were changed to purely instrumental arrangements, despite being voiced when in Japanese. The returning games, however, still have English vocals.
