Spin Mode introduces 90, 180, 360, and 360+ overhead spins to every song and difficulty in the game. The intensity of the spins range from mild to styled and wild, and thanks to a unique spin algorithm, spins are never random, so you can master specific maps and compete on the leaderboards or in multiplayer mode.
