In all of these modes a certain number of people are allowed to gamble in-game credits for chance to beat a certain number of NPCs. If the players beat the NPCs they end up with much more money than they gambled, if they lose everyone loses their gambled credits.
"Need" refers to the amount of Den/Beats required to play with the NPC. It is considered spent when you start the Battle Party. "Plus" refers to the amount of Den/Beats you will win if you beat the NPC.
Battle Party[edit]
| Keys Used | Uses |
|---|---|
| 4 Directional Arrows | Arrows |

A team of five players takes on a single AI-controlled NPC, wagering a varied amount of Den/Beats, depending on the level of the NPC difficulty. If their total score beats the increased score of the NPC, they win Den/Beats; if not, they don't get anything. In Korean Audition, American Audition, and SEA, AuditionPH there is the option to take on three NPCs in a row; if you beat all of them without losing a match, the reward is much higher. However, the matches get exponentially harder in comparison with single NPCs. The first two rounds are against Choreography NPCs, and the last round is against an Expert Choreography NPC. You must be level 6 to enter Battle Parties. Be careful because the NPCs can be very hard. And you may lose Den/Beats. Also if you haven't already beaten an npc, they give you 9x reward what the "need" is.
The game modes used at Battle Party are: Choreography, Expert Choreography, Sync-8, Crazy-4 and Crazy-8.

Beat Up Battle Party is just what the name says, you play beat up with 4 other people against an NPC. If you're playing a 6-direction round, there is a Chance mode which makes the arrow hit spot wider which gives you less time to hit the keys. The amount this mode adds depends on the levels (ex. 1.3x score for level 1 songs, 1.5x score for level 2 songs, etc.) You can activate it by hitting Enter on the numpad. There is also the regular chance mode (decimal on the numpad or delete) which you can activate when it asks you to before the finish move.
