: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]].

A variant of this mode is TIME FREE, introduced in [[AC SINOBUZ|SINOBUZ]], whereas the two stages is changed to five minutes.
