Due to the success of the ''Dance Dance Revolution'' franchise, many other games with similar or identical gameplay have been created.

Commercial competitors of ''DDR'' include the Korean series ''[[List of Pump it Up video games|Pump It Up]]'' and the American series ''[[In the Groove (series)|In the Groove]]'' by Roxor Games, as well as [[TechnoMotion]] by [[F2 Systems]], ''EZ2Dancer'' by [[Amuseworld]], and ''[[MC Groovz Dance Craze]]'' by [[Mad Catz]].

''In the Groove'' was met with [[Konami Corp. v. Roxor Games Inc.|legal action by Konami]] and resulted in Konami's acquisition of the game's [[intellectual property]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/konami-reaches-settlement-in-ddr-lawsuit|title=Publisher acquires rights to Roxor game |access-date=2006-10-20|publisher=GamesIndustry.biz}}</ref>

A Christian version of ''DDR'', named ''[[Dance Praise]]'', has been made by [[Digital Praise]]. [[Ubisoft]] produced a dance game based on [[Disney]]'s ''[[The Jungle Book (1967 film)|The Jungle Book]]'' titled ''[[The Jungle Book Groove Party]]''.

Fan-made versions of ''DDR'' have also been created, many freely available to the public under [[Open-source software|open source]] licenses. The most popular of these is ''[[StepMania]]'', upon which the game ''In the Groove'' is based. These simulators allow for players to create and play their own songs to their own programmed steps. As a result, many ''DDR'' fans have held contests and released "mixes" of custom songs and steps for these simulators. Notably the Japanese ''Foonmix'' series and the [[DDR East Invasion]] Tournamix competitions. Other simulators include ''[[Dance with Intensity]]'' and ''[[pyDance]]'' for [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], both of which are no longer developed, and ''[[Feet of Fury]]'', a [[Homebrew (video games)|homebrew]] game for the Sega [[Dreamcast]].

Besides direct clones, many other games have been released that center around rhythm and dance due to ''DDR''{{'}}s popularity. ''Dance! Online'' released by [[Acclaim Entertainment|Acclaim]] combines [[dance pad]] play with an [[Massively multiplayer online game|MMO]] element. [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s ''[[Dancing with the Stars (video game)|Dancing With the Stars]]'' and [[Codemasters]]' ''[[Dance Factory (game)|Dance Factory]]'' are more recent examples of games that pay homage to ''DDR'' and the genre it created. Konami uses music from its other rhythm game series such as ''[[Beatmania]]'' and ''[[Beatmania IIDX]]'', ''[[Drummania]]'', ''[[GuitarFreaks]]'', and ''[[Pop'n Music]]'', as well as making references to ''DDR'' in its other games and vice versa.
