For the mechanic with the same name in maimai MiLK PLUS and earlier, see maimai:Grade Certification.
Grade Certification (Japanese: 段位認定, Chinese: 段位认定), added in maimai でらっくす Splash PLUS, is based on FiNALE Course, and serves as a "proper" grade system.
Interestingly, despite that the name of this mechanic was translated as "Grade Certification" in Asian versions of the pre-DX maimai series, it's untranslated in maimai DX スプラッシュ PLUS.
General Information
- Maximum 4 songs can be played.
- Songs and difficulties are pre-determined.
- Locked Master charts in the course can be played directly, and can be unlocked if Rank S is achieved.
- Each course starts with a certain amount of Life, which would decrease by a certain amount for each non-Perfect judgment.
- Life would increase a certain amount when a song is passed, but will not exceed the starting value.
- What was called 裏段位 (officially "secret grades", but 裏 is more commonly literally translated as "inner" or romanized as "ura" among players) in FiNALE Course is now called 真段位 ("true grades"), and is unlocked when 十段 is passed.
- In true grades, the game ends prematurely if Life reaches 0.
- In normal and random grade certification, all 4 songs could be played to the end even if Life reaches 0.
- In 2-player mode in true grades, the game ends when the Life of both players reaches 0.
- There is also "Random Grade Certification" (Japanese: ランダム段位認定, Chinese: 随机段位认定), in which the 4 songs are randomly chosen based on difficulty, similar to the Ultra Expert level (無差別級) in Event Course.
- Unlike in FiNALE Course, the contents of the courses cannot be viewed on the grade selection screen; you have to play it.
