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. Aside from boss battles (which are explained in more detail below), ''all'' items are random in their placement on the map.

After you clear all five 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 [[Habatake, The Great Gambler|はばたけ、ザ・グレートギャンブラー]] on his floor). Defeat WARUDOC to end the event.
