Dance ManiaX 2nd MIX is played the same way all Dancia ManiaX games are played. Similarly to the Guitar Hero (Franchise) series, the player is presented with four "chords". On these four chords "notes" will appear in a rhythmic sequence, which the player has to clear by activating the games mechanism, the moment the "notes" hit the bottom of the screen. Dance ManiaX machines
feature four sensors for each player, located on the top and bottom of two tube shaped controllers located at hip level in front of each player. The player now activates these sensors to clear the notes, by moving their hand over the top or bottom sensors, or using their hands for the top sensors and their knees for the bottom sensors. That way, the game is rhythmically involved in the game with full body movement. Of the four notes that appear on screen, the center two (red) are cleared with the top sensors and the outer ones (blue) are cleared with the bottom sensors. The sensors do not need to be pysically touched by the player, the hand can simply be held over them to activate them. In the game, notes can appear single (eg. red), double (eg. two reds at the same time) or combined (eg. blue and red at the same time).
By clearing the notes in time correctly, the player accumulates combos. The more notes are cleared, the higher the highscore is. If the player plays too many notes wrong or misses the note completely, the player loses the game.
Usually, the player will get to play five songs in a row, which are combined by pre-existing playlists, given that the player will not fail any song. All songs can be played in two player mode, in which two players will clear the same song at the same time, on the same difficulty. There is also a double mode available in which one single player has to play on both controllers actually designated for two players.
