Features
This version includes new songs from DJMax Technika, 015B, BJJ, and from Clazziquai's 2008 mini album Metrotronics. Two additional modes have been revealed for the game called 2B and 4BFX.
- Club Tour is a mode where the player can play in different clubs. Each club features one of three gameplay types. Music type clubs give the player a list of songs to play and the player must complete each song. Repertory type clubs have several sets of songs given to the player, and the player must complete each song in the set in order to complete the set. Mission type clubs contains challenges with various other DJ's with specific goals (example: clear a song with a certain number of points). If the player wins, their rank goes up, and if they lose their rank goes down. Players can earn new titles once their rank reaches a certain threshold. Players cannot challenge a DJ if the DJ's rank is too high compared to theirs.
- Arcade mode features playing through one of six button modes in three stages. In general, the songs get harder the more buttons you use and the higher the stage number.
- Album combines M/V and O.S.T. modes from past games. You can switch modes by pressing the Square button to view either the M/V or O.S.T.
- Collection is a mode where the player can view records of the songs you have played, play count, images (which players can save on to the PSP memory stick and use as PSP wallpapers), movies, emblems and internet ranking for Platinum Crew members only.
- Multi-Player using Ad hoc PSP connections is also available.
- Link Disc is a mode that connect to DJMax Portable, DJMax Portable 2, and DJMax Portable Black Square. Link Disc with DJMax Portable unlocks an additional Gear, three avatars, and a new song. Link Disc with DJMax Portable 2 unlocks another additional Gear, two avatars and a new song. Link Disc with Black Square unlocks three new songs.

Platinum Crew Patch
Players who were members of Platinum Crew (a premium service dealing with DJMax) were given a game patch for Clazziquai Edition that can be turned on or off, once in effect the patch gives these changes:
- Club Tour Season 2: This changes certain clubs, as in it changes its gameplay type, objectives and difficulty.
- New Song Patterns: Harder versions of songs can be played, but it won't be show as an alternative pattern and will appear as a certain pattern in disguise (EX: Dark Envy 4B MX Style will play when the player selects Dark Envy 4B Normal Style as long as the patch is on).
- Eight hidden songs: Eight of the game's songs could have their O.S.T. and music videos unlocked without the patch, but due to a glitch, the songs themselves can't be unlocked to play in Arcade mode. With the patch, the player had to play the song once in a Club Tour Music-type Club, then the song was unlocked to be played in any button mode and Freestyle. The eight songs are:
- "To you [80's POP]" – Sweetune
- "Tell me [Couple R&B]" – Lee Geol
- "Proposed, Flower, Wolf [Piano Ballad]" – ReX**
- "DJMAX [MAX HOUSE]" – Humming Urban Stereo
- "Every Morning [80's 8bit]" – ND Lee
- "Memory of Beach [Dance Pop]" – M2U
- "Sunny Side [Bright RnB]" – Croove
- "Ask to wind [R&B Fantasy]" – Forte Escape
** This song is also unlocked by Link Disc to DJMax Portable Black Square.
