Gambler de Z (ギャンブラーZ) unlocks

Like the arcade version, pop'n music 9 CS's unlocks system is Gambler de Z, in which you control an 8-bit TORU KAMIKAZE around a labyrinth, unlocking chests, finding money, and battling bosses. A chiptune version of The theme of GAMBLER Z plays during the event.

After a round of play in ARCADE, you will be given a select amount of die. How many you get depends on how many stages are cleared in the round beforehand: three maximum for a regular round of NORMAL/BATTLE/CHALLENGE (no EXtra Stage), and four for clearing a round of EXPERT/CHALLENGE with EXtra Stage. The first two/three die are regular die, while the final one acts as a multiplier. For example, if you have four die and get 1, 2, 2, and then 3, you'll move 15 spaces. Your goal is to reach the end of the labyrinth, which can end with one of six different battles; please use this map for further details. Aside from boss battles (which are explained in more detail below), all items are random in their placement on the map.

Occasionally TORU KAMIKAZE will encounter a chest, which will feature one of several items: money (which rewards you with nothing), an entry card (which grants you charts/mods/characters), or a brand-new song. He can also encounter a pop'n music 10/ee'MALL arcade machine; you'll then play the song and unlock it, regardless of whether or not you clear it. Note that this ends your round, even if you have spaces left to move.

At the end of your run, regardless of the path you take, you will engage in a boss battle, in which you will be forced to play a chart to unlock it for permanent play. If you clear the chart, you'll unlock it instantly. Fail to, and you'll still hurt the opponent a bit, but you'll forced to try again on the next round of play until you either clear the chart, or battle the boss enough times to obtain the chart anyway (their health represented with hearts). Defeated bosses do not return on repeat playthroughs.

After you clear all six bosses, you must traverse one final time to the final boss of WARUDOC, who will always be the boss regardless of what you take (the music also changes to a chiptune version of はばたけ、ザ・グレートギャンブラー on his floor). Defeat WARUDOC to end the event and unlock MARATHON MODE for play.

MARATHON MODE

MARATHON MODE is unlocked after finishing the Gambler de Z (ギャンブラーZ) unlock system, either through time release or completing the event proper.

As the name suggestions, MARATHON MODE is a run through all of pop'n music 9's songs back to back on a difficulty of the player's choosing (5 BUTTON, 9 BUTTON, HYPER, or EX), in order of increasing difficulty (if multiple songs have the same difficulty level, it goes by note count). LONGs count as two songs.

As opposed to the usual GROOVE GAUGE, you are instead given 50 lives, with each BAD taking one away; losing all of them will result in failure. Lives are fully replenished after reaching checkpoints every set number of songs, depending on the difficulty: six songs for 5 BUTTON/9 BUTTON, and every three songs for HYPER/EX. The player's progress is automatically saved at each checkpoint and can be resumed at any time, even after failing, until it is overwritten by a new MARATHON MODE playthrough, a new checkpoint, or by clearing MARATHON MODE. FEVER! is achieved with a current combo count of 100 or more (it carries between songs).

Codes

You can also temporarily unlock the above at the title screen, which must be re-entered every time you play ARCADE or FREE. Unlike most pop'n music games, songs played in any ARCADE mode with these codes on WILL save in FREE and TRAINING (though only the chart of that song will sometimes). The buttons correspond to the buttons on the pop'n music Controller from left to right.
