You may choose any song on any difficulty and the amount of progress will accumulate towards the gauge. By either clearing the song without using any ASSIST modifiers, you unlock that song's charts for regular play (and any charts from lower difficulties if applicable; Single and Double charts unlock separately). Failing a song however, will fill the gauge based on the amount of progress made, and using any ASSIST modifiers (CUT1/CUT2, Jumps OFF, or Freeze OFF) will also proportionally reduce the amount of progress possible. However, the song is instantly unlocked regardless of outcome if EXTRA STAGE is at Level 3.
