There are four ranks in this game: Bad (where you have to try again to progress and your algorithm goes down), OK (where you have successfully completed the level), Superb (where you have completed the level with no or almost no mistakes and receive a medal) and Perfect. With Perfect, it works like this: when you have achieved Superb on a level, after a while you sometimes get the chance to obtain a Perfect diploma for that level. If the P symbol with a face appears, you have up to three chances to play the level 100 percent correctly. If you succeed, you receive a Perfect Campaign Certificate and something extra, like a story from a character in the game. You can view both in the menu. Sometimes you also get an extra medal. With those medals, you can unlock mini-games and sometimes they include high scores.
One downside I find in this game is the controls: you hold your DS sideways, just like in, for example, Dr. Kawashima, and control it with the stylus. So getting a Perfect is a lot harder than in other Rhythm Paradise games. Personally, from this series, I prefer playing Rhythm Tengoku on the
Game Boy Advance, where you use the Game Boy buttons. The game is in Japanese, though, so it's a bit of a problem to understand what to do in the game.
