:Courses are an arcade mode of play where you play four pre-determined songs back to back on a single bar. The bar barely increases during play, and barely fills up between songs. An empty bar results in your immediate disqualification, though you can still enter your name if you got a high enough score on the rankings. In the CS songs from [[PnM_CS_6|6]] through [[PnM_CS_8|8]], certain songs can only be played in Game/Free Mode by playing them through courses. :[[PnM_AC_17|pop'n music 17 THE MOVIE]] marks the final appearance of courses to date in the arcade.
