==How it works==
Puppet Master Mode: There is a person (the "Puppet Master") that holds the GamePad in their hand while the others dance. On the GamePad screen, four dance moves, one for each game up to and each represented by its own caption, are presented and the Puppet Master has to choose one in a short, fixed amount of time for the dancers to perform. Occasionally, there is an icon that says “Strike The Pose”, and, if the holder chooses it, a still of a coach appears on the screen; the dancer that the Puppet Master thinks performed the pose most accurately is awarded 1000 extra points. Like in Mashups for this game, Gold Moves are removed.
: The basic mechanics remain the same, but now there is no longer one caption per game, the dancers are not listed in the order of appearance from their respective game, and the “Strike The Pose” feature has been removed. It is also possible to switch songs at certain times. Unlike , Gold Moves are featured.

==Trivia==
===General===
*We No Speak Americano has the most amount of Captions in the Puppet/Party Master Modes, with 19.
*What Makes You Beautiful and Born This Way’s Puppet/s are the only one that use their Alternate coach as the main dancer.
*Captions will sometimes change during production and in later games.
*In all Puppet Master Modes of , the original coach, all four choices, all four previews of the next coaches, and all their masks are rendered into one large video in the game files and each coach is cropped accordingly to a square aspect ratio. Because of this, coaches who move from side to side of the screen are edited in order to make them forcefully stay in the middle, and shadows and limbs may sometimes exceed the limit and be cropped. Subsequent games have each coach as their own video.
*Starting with , most s repeat the same caption choices for verses and choruses. The only ones that do not repeat any sets of captions are Birthday and Maps.
*In , when a song switch happens, the last line of the previous song is merged with the first line of the following one through a series of > signs; in , instead, the two lines are simply cut and separated (for example, when the game switches to Born This Way’s chorus, the first line simply reads "ful in my way").
======
*The "Strike A Pose" icon features a silhouette of P1 from Hot Stuff.
*In , the outline of every coach is already rendered in-game, resulting in their masks to be simple white outlines. The only exception is Mr. Saxobeat, where the glows lack their typical faded effect.
*In , it is possible to exceed the maximum score (13333 points) by gaining points through Strike The Pose.
*The following graphical differences can be seen between the early version of Puppet Master Mode and the final one.https://youtu.be/Tivk79woPX0?t=56
**Coaches were not reflected in the background.
**The element that warned players about the next move consisted of a fuchsia rectangle with a curve on the left side, where "Next move" appeared while zooming in before displaying the caption. "Next move" and the caption appeared alternatively (first the former, then the latter, then the former again and so on).
**When no captions were selected more than once, the animation used for selected coaches was applied to the original one.
**"Strike The Pose" coaches appeared in front of a black rectangle with a white outline, round corners, a pulsing star and a golden glow, while "STRIKE THE POSE" was shown on the bottom left on a yellow star with ten points. No additional sound effects played to cover the music up, and the screen did not darken.
**When a pose from "Strike The Pose" was performed correctly, the triggered animation was in shades of yellow and read "BEST POSE (player’s name)" instead of "GREAT POSE (player’s name)".
