KALEIDXSCOPE (stylized as KALEID×SCOPE) is a game mode serving as a mechanic to unlock exclusive songs in maimai でらっくす PRiSM, working similarly as maimai MiLK's Survival Course, and serves as a successor to maimai FiNALE's PANDORA BOXXX.

The mode was added on September 12th, 2024 for the Japan version.

General Information

Note that the following information is based on current observations, and may change once new information is known.

After reaching the end of an Area, the player may encounter a locked "door" that requires a matching "key" to unlock. After this happens for the first time, the KALEIDXSCOPE game mode will appear in the mode select screen starting from the next credit, though it will be grayed out and cannot be entered until at least one key is found.

Special conditions must be fulfilled to obtain keys. After said conditions are met, a notice will be displayed at the end of the credit, confirming that a key has been obtained. Keys can be obtained even if their doors have not yet been found.

After finding at least one key, the game mode becomes selectable. A warning will be displayed and the player will be asked to confirm before entering the mode.

Mechanics

Each of the 6 doors corresponds to an original Area within the in-game universe, sporting its emblem. By selecting a door after having obtained its matching key, its corresponding 3-track course will start.

  • If only one of two players on the same cabinet has obtained both the door and the key, the other player will still be able to play the course, but will not unlock the exclusive song or emblem.
  • If there are no playable courses upon entering the mode, the game will start on Normal mode instead.

The courses follow the following rules:

  • A life system is used, where each non-Perfect judgment decreases life by 1. There are no life bonuses between tracks, and the game ends instantly upon running out of life.
    • Unlike Grade Certification's "true grade" courses, a player who ran out of life in multiplayer mode will not be able to continue playing if the other player has not failed.
    • Using TRACK SKIP results in instantly failing the course.
  • Only difficulties at or above the current unlock threshold can be selected.
  • Life amounts and difficulty thresholds are relaxed based on the number of players who have cleared a course. Life and difficulty levels are listed below, along with their required number of clears.
    • The current amount of life is displayed before entering a course.
    • Conditions are updated every day at 4:00AM JST.
Conditions
Number of clears Life Required difficulty
0 1 Master
1 10 Master
10 50 Master
100 100 Expert
1000 999 Basic
  • The song list for each course is as follows:
  • After a course is cleared, its exclusive song will be unlocked, along with the Area's emblem.
    • The list of clears, leaderboard and current conditions (including number of clears needed for conditions to be further relaxed) for each course can be viewed on maimai DX NET.
    • All obtained emblems are displayed on KALEIDXSCOPE's mode select graphic.
