The gameplay of this game stays largely the same as the original. New additions to Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 3 include Tournament Mode, Relaxed Mode, DDR School, Hypermove Mode, and Wii Balance Board Modes. Familiar features like Free Play Mode and Training Mode return as well. The "Groove Circuit/Arena" Mode has been removed and replaced by Tournament Mode. Hand markers are no longer used in Free Play Mode, though they remain in DDR School and Hypermove Mode under the new name Punch Markers.
