Netting points was also the ''only'' way in the earlier pop'n music arcade games with Challenge Mode that let you play EX charts (via EXtra Stage). From pop'n musics [[PnM_AC_5|5]] through [[PnM_AC_7|7]], ojamas had to be set before you chose a song. (A maximum of two can be set.) Starting with [[PnM_AC_8| pop'n music 8]], though, ojamas are set ''after'' choosing a song. (This was also the first game to let you set a permanent ojama through the song, worth 1.5 times the usual amount.) Getting a certain amount of points unlocks the EXtra Stage or a special pic, though never both in the same round. | ||

EX(tra) stage is rewarded for passing three songs without fail & ranking a certain amount of points up in Challenge Mode. Songs in this category tend to be much harder than their Hyper counterparts, typically ranging from Levels 25 to 43 (maximum). This mode was originally named because EX charts could ''only'' be played during the EXtra Stage. Starting with [[PnM_AC_8|pop'n music 8]], EX charts can be played in the arcade on any level after being unlocked, taking away its luster a bit. To unlock an EX chart in recent arcade games, you have to full combo the Normal chart, get a high score (?) on the Hyper, and then beat the EX on the EXtra Stage. | ||

Also, over the years older pop'n songs prior to the EX chart's introduction have been given EX charts. | :Note that until [[PnM_AC_17|pop'n music 17 THE MOVIE]], not every song introduced had an EX chart.
