Town Mode (2/23/2011)

New to pop'n music, Town Mode allows a player to play a set of stages as in normal game modes, with the goal of building a town. Throughout plays of Town Mode, Town Points (TP) are acquired which can be used to purchase new buildings/games, or CDs from the CD shop. Purchasing buildings and games enable certain benefits in the town, from lowering the cost of CDs to adding more pop'n music characters to the town. Songs are played by speaking to a character and selecting a song from that character's set of available songs. Certain characters contain hidden songs; after playing a hidden song, that song becomes available for purchase in the CD shop for a set amount of TP.

Prices for CDs may be lowered by purchasing any of the following: Disco (110 TP) or Karaoke Box (100 TP).
