These are typically arranged in a 3x3 grid with the center being a "dead" square for rest. On arcade pads the arrows are the only controls, with selection controls being on the cabinet. On pads for home consoles , the corners of the grid are usually used for the ABXY (or equivalent, looking at you PlayStation) buttons with Start and Select being placed on the top edge. + +The most common alternative layout for dancepads is the Pump It Up style 5-panel game: Four corners and center. There are few home versions of 5-panel games and thus few pads available. + +Thus, to represent dancepad controls, the following buttons will cover them with the exceptions of certain games with unique controls: + +* Up Arrow +* Down Arrow +* Left Arrow +* Right Arrow +* Center +* Top Left Arrow +* Top Right Arrow +* Bottom Left Arrow +* Bottom Right Arrow +* Standard ABXY/equivalent +* Standard Start/Select + +Exceptions of note: + +* Dance 86.4 Funky Radio Station: Simplified dance game with three pads aligned in a row, color coded similar to guitar/band game controllers. +* Dance Aerobics: A game that uses the 3x4 side B of the NES Power Pad.
