maimai:Challenge Track
Challenge Track (チャレンジトラック) is a game mechanic added in maimai PiNK and removed in maimai FiNALE. With this mechanic, skilled players can unlock the song up to a month before it's unlocked by default. The details have been changed several times during the course it was used.
Common
During the time period when a Challenge Track is active, if the player gets rank S or above on all tracks before the final track, he/she can enter Challenge Track on the final track. The player starts with some amount of Life, which would decrease 1 for each non-perfect note judgment. If Life reaches 0, it would be a game over, and the song would be cut short.
On the result screen, if you completed the song with Life left, "完走"(completed) would be shown. Otherwise, "無念" would be shown.
If the player completes the song on Master, he/she could unlock the song.
| Screen | Rank (PiNK) | Rank (later) |
|---|---|---|
| Shutter ("おわり") | F~E | F~E |
| Shutter ("糸冬") + Happy ("アチャ～") | C~B | D~C |
| Happy ("できるか―――い!") + Shutter ("閉店") | A~AAA | B~A |
| Shutter ("本日の営業は終了しますた。") + sleeping Happy | S~SSS | AA~SSS |
maimai PiNK
Life increase happens at 0:00 JST. Since the third day of a Challenge Track event, if playing with multiple players, and one of them has a Rating above 7.00, Challenge Track would be available from Track 1, and the song can be played to the end even if Life reaches 0.
