Remix Mode is the newest addition to the DJ Max Portable franchise. The mode, known as X.2T, will be compatible with every previous difficulty mode. For example, 6B Remix Mode would be 6.2T Mode. The mode will introduce two new note types: Turntable notes and Sampler notes. Turntable Notes are purple notes that are activated with the analog stick. They are based on turntable mixing, cross-fading and scratching. Sampler Notes are synthesizer notes that activate sound effects and samples. They take up the two new lanes added to the user interface and are activated by hitting the Square, Triangle and Circle buttons in combination with the Analog Stick being held to the left or right. While it promised a revival of sorts to the series numbered continuum, a host of features are significantly lacking from DJ Max Portable 3. Many of the additions and tweaks introduced to the series through Black Square and Clazziquai Edition are gone, as well as certain features introduced as far back as DJ Max Portable 2.

5B mode (originally introduced in 2) is gone, a mode previously used to ease the transition from 4-Button mode to the significantly more complex 6-button mode. 8B, 6BFX and 8BFX mode were also removed. The Club Tour mode introduced in Clazziquai/ Black Square is also gone, which served as a campaign-type method to unlock new songs, skins, and notes. The issue with this omission is that it wasn't replaced with any other mode, not even the barebones playlist mode from DJ Max Portable. OST Mode, Album, and Link Disc options are also missing.
