Game Introduction

Are you pumped enough to bust out some killer moves? Then step up to the challenge of Andamiro's Pump It Up! Select a song, and using the arrows (arranged like the dots of "five" on a six-sided dice) bust out some crazy moves!

Game Play

Select a song, and using the arrows (and center panel), step to the beat along with the arrows as they scroll up the screen. The better you dance, the better your chances of advancing to the next stage. But if you mess up too much, you are finished!

Gameplay is similar to DDR but with the step arrows in the diagonal position.

Operators were able to add more songs to the game using either a CD or or hard drive, depending on the version of the game.

The game included the following mixes:

  • Rebirth
  • Oldies But Goodies
  • Premier
  • Prex
  • Premier 2
  • Prex 2
  • Premier 3
  • Prex 3
  • Extra
  • Perfect Collection
  • Exceed
