International variants of Dance Dance Revolution 3rdMix include Dancing Stage EuroMix and Dance Dance Revolution USA. USA was released in North American arcades in October 2000. It has a reduced song list of 26 songs: six licenses and 20 Konami Originals. USA shares four licenses and 15 Konami Originals in common, including two 3rdMix Plus tracks: "Love This Feelin'" and "TRIP MACHINE ～luv mix～".

The music of Dance Dance Revolution USA mimics the music of its sister release, Dancing Stage EuroMix, quite a bit. While it's not the same selection of songs it shares the theme of bringing North America up to speed with Japanese releases of the time and the music that was first made available there.
