This trick requires a controller with an auto-fire feature. Set a game to play in Event mode and start a Versus game at any difficulty, except for Oni mode. Using a method of your choice, hold X or Circle for an extended period of time at the song selection screen. Songs that can be unlocked by playing a number of songs should be unlocked after about one and a half hours. Note: This will affect the Best rating of one song; most likely the default song.
Easier game
To complete the songs easier, enable the “Extra options” code, then choose “Little” at the cheat menu. Additionally, play the game in Light mode to unlock songs easier.
Unlocking new songs and Oni courses
To unlock new items, modes, songs, and Oni courses, you must get a certain amount of points. After the credits begin, the game displays how many points needed for the next unlockable bones. The following ranks will earn the corresponding amount of points:
- AAA: 10 Points
- AA: 8 Points
- A: 6 Points
- B: 4 Points
- C: 3 Points
- D: 2 Points
- E: 1 Point
The procedure is applicable in Challenge mode; however, because you can only miss four steps per song, then the only rating you can get per song is “AAA”, “AA”, “A”, or “E”. Also, if two people are playing, you each get points respectively.
