Gameplay
As with the previous installments of the franchise, players must mimic the on-screen dancer's choreography to a chosen song using either motion controllers or the game's associated smartphone app (except on Wii).
Its user interface and features are largely identical to 2019, although with the addition of a new "All Stars" mode commemorating the franchise's 10th anniversary (which features a playlist of songs representing past editions of the game).[5]
