Some DDAs exploit a well-known bug, which makes the ninja invulnerable. DDAs using this bug must be played in Debug mode to work properly. |

DDA stands for Don't Do Anything. DDA maps are purely made for entertainment, rather than playability. In these maps, the movement of the ninja is controlled not by the player, but by the tileset and objects like bounce-blocks, launchpads, doors, and thwumps. The construction of these usually takes a lot of time. In return for the time spent on making them, DDAs like Tattletale (nevermore), The Improbability Drive (formica), Rocket- ed.(formica), and Thriller (Sendy) are the 4 best maps on NUMA. Some DDAs exploit a well-known bug, which makes the ninja invulnerable. DDAs using this bug must be played in Debug mode to work properly.
Some variants of DDAs are called hold right DDAs or hold left DDAs, and as the name suggests, instead of doing nothing, you have to just continously hold on to the right or left buttons to make it work. Some really special DDAs are "three-way", which means it can function as DDA, hold-left DDA, or hold-right DDA. Obviously, this takes a LOT of effort to create.
