Gameplay

Modes that make a return include Non-Stop Shuffle, Speed Shuffle, and Just Sweat Mode.

Trivia

  • The player needs a total of 645 Mojo points to unlock everything.
  • This game has the first extreme, sweat, hold my hand, and mash-ups.
  • When censoring words, it doesn't use the three dots "..." unless it's a recycled DLC that did use them.
  • The Xbox 360 list is listed in alphabetical order. The Wii and PS3 list are listed in the order above.
  • This is the game where even though all the faces of the dancers are white (excluding Hey Boy Hey Girl: it's purple), the facial features can be seen clearly.
  • The Xbox 360 version is very different from the Wii and PS3 version, the backgrounds and effects are considerately different, sometimes more advanced. This is also the case with Just Dance: Greatest Hits.
  • The store is not available on the PS3.
  • Hayley Williams of Paramore is not credited for "Airplanes". This is fixed in Just Dance: Greatest Hits.
  • On Wii and PlayStation 3, to get a star, you just have to cover it in half, while on Kinect you have to cover it all. It's certainly because on Wii and PlayStation 3, the moves done with left hand don't give points.
    • This is actually the only (at least clear) nerfing of Kinect points, due to the fact that the Kinect sometimes scores many more moves than other consoles. However, this is not the case for all routines.
  • This game is a Guinness World Records holder for being the best-selling casual game and the best-selling third party game on the Wii.
  • The bubbles in the menu for songs are actually squares in the game files.
  • This is the third game in the Just Dance series but It's technically the fourth game Ubisoft has created related to Just Dance.
  • Gold Moves seem to be more sophisticated on Xbox 360 than on the Wii and PlayStation 3. The Xbox version comes in slower and gradually than all at once like on Wii. It then proceeds to wait a second and then plays out the effect. Again, this is slower and gradual on the Xbox version than Wii. The gold move after shine will only occur on the Xbox if it was performed correctly.
