New to pop'n music 6 is EXPERT COURSE mode, where you play four songs back to back with no pause. You start with a full GROOVE GAUGE, which will go down as you get BADs. If you get to the far left of the GROOVE GAUGE, it's instant GAME OVER. High scores for courses will be displayed in the game's attract mode.
