Pump

Pump is a game mode that simulates the Pump it Up series. It is widely used to make 5-panel or 5-key charts.

In this mode, holds act differently and increment your combo while held.

Some difficulties have different names in this mode: the single Hard chart is known as "Crazy", the double Easy chart is known as "Freestyle", and the double Expert chart is known as "Nightmare".

Single (pump-single)
This mode consists of five panels, which are the four corner panels, and a center panel.

Double (pump-double)
In this mode, one player uses all ten panels on both pads.

Half Double (pump-halfdouble)
This mode uses six panels: both centers, P1's right diagonals, and P2's left diagonals. Usually, only one chart is stepped for this mode per song as if it was its own difficulty.

Couple (pump-couple)
Similar to dance-couple in which two players play, but each player's patterns are different. Made obsolete by pump-routine.

Routine (pump-routine)
A variant of pump-double, where each player is assigned certain patterns they need to play. The notes are colored by player (in most noteskins, P1 is blue and P2 is red or vice versa). Though it is a 2 or more player game mode, the combo will count every note as it were a one-player game.
