General Gameplay & Scoring

How do I get a "Perfect" score?

Achieving a "Perfect" score requires precise timing and mirroring the on-screen coach's moves as closely as possible. Here's how to maximize your chances:

• Study the Choreography: Before a song, watch the coach's movements during the intro or even in practice mode (if available for that track). Pay attention to the flow and transitions.
• Follow the Pictograms: The pictograms that scroll from right to left at the bottom of the screen are your primary guide. Execute the move exactly as the pictogram enters the designated "hit zone" in the center.
• Controller Grip: Ensure your Joy-Con (Nintendo Switch), PlayStation Move Controller (PlayStation), or Xbox Kinect (Xbox One) is held firmly and correctly. For Joy-Cons, make sure the wrist strap is securely fastened.
• Practice, Practice, Practice: Some moves are trickier than others. Don't be afraid to replay your favorite songs or challenging sections to perfect your technique.

What do the different score ratings mean (OK, GOOD, SUPER, PERFECT)?

These ratings indicate how accurately you performed a move:

• X (Miss): You didn't register a move or were completely off.
• OK: You were in the ballpark, but not quite on time or accurate enough.
• GOOD: A decent attempt! You were close to the correct timing and movement.
• SUPER: Excellent! You nailed the move with good timing and accuracy.
• PERFECT: You hit the move with impeccable timing and precision. This is what you're aiming for to get the highest scores and unlock "Megastar" status.

How do I unlock new songs and content?

Just Dance 2024 Edition offers several ways to expand your song library and customize your experience:

• Leveling Up: As you play songs and earn stars, you'll gain XP and level up. Many new songs, avatars, and emotes are unlocked automatically as you reach certain player levels. Check the "Progression" tab in your Dancer Card to see what's coming next.
• Just Dance+ Subscription: This premium subscription service grants you access to an ever-growing catalog of over 300 songs from previous Just Dance titles and exclusive new tracks. You can find details on subscribing within the game's main menu under the "Just Dance+" section.
• Seasonal Events: Keep an eye out for limited-time seasonal events. Participating in these events often rewards you with exclusive songs, outfits, and other cosmetic items. Navigate to the "Events" section from the main menu to see current and upcoming events.
• Gift Machine: Use your earned "Mojo" coins in the Gift Machine (accessible from the main menu) for a chance to unlock new avatars, backgrounds, and emotes. While it doesn't unlock full songs, it's a great way to personalize your Dancer Card.
