Like most rhythm games, players tap descending colored objects when they align with the bar at the bottom of the screen, the goal being to accumulate points. Tapping the objects in time correctly, and consecutively without any misses, gives bonus points. After each song, scores are recorded and enables the player to compare scores with other players online. With enough points, a player can go up a rank on the weekly chart (starting from Bronze, to Silver, Gold, Platinum and finally Master with each being divided into three levels respectively).
Songs from various artists of SM Entertainment are featured in the game. Previously until 2017 updates, after completing a song, a new song is unlocked. The goal is to unlock all the songs in all three levels, Easy, Normal and Hard, which is not anymore applicable to the late 2017-now updates. The same 600+ songs must be unlocked in the three levels. After beating all three levels, the 'Challenge' mode will be unlocked. 'Star Cards' (Cards that feature the solo artists and individual group members of SM Entertainment) is also a feature of the game. New cards are earned after completing a song, although a player may purchase them from the game's store in packs. When equipped, cards enable the player to gain more points, with an even bigger advantage if the player collects all the cards that corresponds to the theme of the group or artist. These cards can also be used to enhance other cards to gain more bonus. As of January 13, 2021, there are over 1400+ star cards (including normal and limited edition) to collect in the game.
