Stage Up

Stage Up (ステージアップ) is the new challenge mode added in WACCA S. Similar to Dan-i Nintei mode in IIDX, Stage Up contains 14 courses ("Stage"s), each with 3 songs and its own rules of Life (ライフ) calculation. Clear a Stage by completing all 3 songs in it. At any time if Life drops to 0, the game instantly ends in failure.

Each Stage starts with a certain amount of Life. On Stage I and Stage II, you will lose 1 point of Life for every "MISS" judgenent. From Stages III through VIII, you will lose 1 point of Life for each "MISS" and "GOOD" judgement. From Stage IX and beyond, you will lose 1 point of Life for each "MISS", "GOOD", and "GREAT" judgement. You recover a certain amount of Life at the end of every song.

Stage Up mode is only available when:
 * Player is logged in (no guest)
 * Player's level is 5 or above
 * Game is online

Initially, only Stages I~X are available. Stages XI, XII, XIII, and XIV are unlocked by clearing the previous Stage.

The Stage selection screen shows a "Clear!" mark at different colors depending on how much Life you have left upon completion of that Stage:
