Sugoroku de 8!! (すごろく de 8 !!) unlocks

pop'n music 8 CS's unlock system is called Sugoroku de 8!! (すごろく de 8 !!) (sugoroku is a Japanese children's dice/board game); it will appear after your last song in ARCADE. To access it, you must beat a certain condition in that round, which is random every round (i.e. using speed mods, fulfilling certain point requirements, etc.). Successfully doing so unlocks the game after that round of ARCADE. Playing the game is simple; you simply roll a die, and pop'n music character P-1 will then move to the amount of spaces it lands in. For every three spaces you land on, you reach one of 18 cities in Japan. Almost every city has one of three different types of unlocks: songs, courses, and characters. The order you visit the cities are as follows:

  • Tokyo (東京)→Fukuoka (静岡)→Nagoya (名古屋)→Osaka (大阪)→Kobe (神戸)→Kochi (高知)→Hiroshima (広島)→Kagoshima (鹿児島)→Shimonoseki (下関)→Tottori (鳥取)→Kanazawa (金沢)→Niigata (新潟)→Aomori (青森)→Sapporo (札幌)→Abashiri (網走)→Hakodate (函館)→Sendai (仙台)→Mito (水戸)

Once you circle around the board three times and reach Kanazawa for the fourth time, the event ends.

Completing Sugoroku de 8!! (100% completion rate) also unlocks the four title screen triggered songs, LIVE songs, expert course exclusive songs, and CS original song LATIN ENKA in ARCADE. It will also unlock the HELL the EIGHT course, the final unlock of the game.

Songs are listed in unlock order.
