Vib Ripple is the sequel to Vib Ribbon, and the third in the Vib Ribbon series. While Vib Ribbon was based around the tone of music, and Mojib Ribbon was based around lyrics, Vib Ripple is themed around drums and percussion.
Players once again control the vector rabbit Vibri as they play. This time, they must move her around a gigantic picture (think of the picture as a giant trampoline), and use the any of the face buttons to make her jump. If you time the jumps to the beat of the music, Vibri will jump higher, and jumping on certain parts of the picture will reveal 'Peta Characters' - 2D representations of objects, such as bunny rabbits, onions, and presents. The goal of each level is to reveal the Peta Characters shown in the crown at the bottom left of the screen (of course, you can uncover more if you're game).
In later levels, blobby enemies known as 'Boonchies' turn up and begin to slowly zero in on Vibri. She must dodge these enemies in addition to bouncing in time to the beat as she uncovers Peta Charact

Pump It Up: Exceed is a dancing game similar to the games in the Dance Dance Revolution series. The Pump It Up dance mat is different from the norm as the arrows are set on diagonals and includes a button in the middle which allows for more complexity in the dance moves that are required to be performed in the game.
The general gameplay has the player watching a music video as symbols scroll by. The player must match the symbols on the screen with the symbols on the Pump It Up dance pad with their feet. Hitting the arrows in sync with the music will keep the players life bar up and give the player a good rating, while doing the opposite will drain the life bar and give bad ratings. If the life bar drains all the way, the game ends.
The game has several mode to choose from:
Arcade Mode has the player trying to achieve an “A” or an “S” rating on three consecutive songs. Doing that allows the player to play an extra song. Successfully completing songs in the Arcade mode opens them for play in Home Mode.
