:This mode is one in which you can play a course of songs in a row without stopping. You start with the gauge at its maximum; if it drops to 0, the game is over. The gauge is the same as that used in Hard mode in normal play, but drops at a much slower rate. EXPERT mode was removed beginning in [[AC tricoro|tricoro]], but has since returned in [[AC PENDUAL|PENDUAL]], this time as a software update. It did not return again since [[AC Rootage|Rootage]]. | :This mode is one in which you can play a course of songs in a row without stopping.

:Similar to Standard/Arcade mode, with the exception that there is no limit on the which songs can be picked for any particular stage. On home versions, play in Free Mode will continue endlessly until the player chooses to return to the main menu. On arcade versions, Free Mode allows for the player to play two stages, but the player can pick any song for either stage without limits on difficulty and without having to worry about Game Over if a song is failed. A variant of this mode is TIME FREE, introduced in [[AC SINOBUZ|SINOBUZ]], whereas the two stages is changed to five minutes. | :Similar to Standard/Arcade mode, with the exception that there is no limit on the which songs can be picked for any particular stage.
