There are about 20 levels to choose from including the subway, a gym, and the harbor. The game does feature celebrities from the actual real-life B-Boy universe. Throughout the game special moves and various amounts of new clothing can be unlocked. As you dance a circle is displayed around your feet, small symbols will appear and the goal is to hit the shoulder buttons on the controller with the correct timing to execute the move correctly.
