In Just Dance gameplay, a Gold Move rewards a pose or an especially difficult move with bonus points.
Gold Moves appear as special golden pictograms during a song. Instead of following an ordinary choreographic step, the player must hit a distinctive pose or execute a demanding movement accurately enough for the game to register it. Successful performance contributes extra points and can make a major difference to the final score.
Just Dance is a motion-based rhythm series created and published by Ubisoft. Players mirror an on-screen dancer while pictograms preview upcoming movements. Depending on the game and platform, motion input has used Wii Remotes, PlayStation Move controllers, Kinect, Joy-Con controllers, or a smartphone controller app.
The terminology can be confusing because Just Dance also includes labels such as Perfect, Superstar, and Megastar, which describe scoring performance rather than the special move itself. Sweat Mode is an exercise-focused mode, not a bonus-move category. Star Move is not the standard name for this mechanic; the established term is Gold Move.
