DDR X has select courses called Ranking courses (numbered 1 through 8) four of them are Nonstop meter style and the others are 4/8 hit point Oni Challenge style. Each of them follow a common theme, like Naoki songs, Smile.dk songs, classical songs, etc. Top ten scores in each ranking course on each difficulty (Normal - Difficult) is saved.
It should be noted SuperNOVA single song rankings are very pointless, as the single song rankings are not advertised in the attract screens and cannot be seen who holds the record unless you actually select that song and play it (which then it briefly shows on the screen between the song selection screen and the actual game play screen) meaning there is very little advertising time of one's achievement and the recorder holder and challengers would have no effective way to tracking any changes to said score.

I definitely wouldn't call it pointless. X2 does the exact same thing. The high scores tracking for individual songs has lead to arcade wide competitions that don't require use to be there at the same time. I'll go one day to see some of mine no longer have high scores then I take them back. Granted, it would be nice to see them before selecting the song, they are all but pointless and are much preferred to have than not having any at all. Plus, when you think about it, the courses high score feature is annoying as you have to wait for the game to run though it's attract sequence to view the high score. If you miss it, you have to wait another 5-8 minutes.
