:EX is the name given to the fourth (and highest) difficulty level in the game, typically highlighted in red on the music select screen. 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, ranging from Levels 29 to 50 (maximum). This mode was originally named because EX charts could ''only'' be played through 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. | :EX is the name given to the fourth (and highest) difficulty level in the game, typically highlighted in red on the music select screen.
