Pokémon Shuffle (Japanese: ポケとる PokéToru) is a freemium puzzle game first released for the Nintendo 3DS in Japanese, Australian, European, and North American Nintendo 3DS eShop on February 18, 2015. It updates itself during communication with a server (called "Check in").
Pokémon Shuffle operates on a free-to-play model—the game is free to download and play, although with a limited number of stages playable in quick succession. Players start with five Hearts and spend one Heart per stage played. Hearts will recharge for free as time passes at a rate of one Heart every 30 minutes, with no more regenerated if players already have five Hearts. Optionally, more Hearts may be purchased with Jewels, which are bought with real money or occasionally given as free prizes, to allow players to immediately resume their game. One Heart is also given for free when playing Stage 11 for the first time, even if the player has Hearts remaining.
A version for iOS and Android called Pokémon Shuffle Mobile (Japanese: ポケとる スマホ版 PokéToru Smartphone Version) was released in Japan on August 25, 2015, in North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia on September 1, 2015, and in continental Europe and South Korea on January 20, 2016. It was originally scheduled to be released in South Korea on January 14, 2016.
Blurb
Get ready for the latest Pokémon puzzle game! Match three or more Pokémon to clear them from the screen and damage the opponent Pokémon. But watch out—your moves are limited, so use them wisely! With no time limit, you can create the best matches to deal out maximum damage. With many popular Pokémon, including some Mega-Evolved Pokémon, this is the perfect puzzle game for fans and for new players who want to get in on the Pokémon fun.
Pokémon Shuffle Mobile
Pokémon Shuffle Mobile is a separate application of the Pokémon Shuffle game for iOS and Android. It was released after 3DS Shuffle and took many version releases before it reached feature parity with 3DS Shuffle. Shuffle Mobile is currently on version 1.5.0 (iOS) and 1.5.5 (Android). There are several minor game elements that differ between the Shuffle Mobile and 3DS Shuffle in addition to different layout requirements.
Shuffle Mobile can only be played with an Internet connection. Unlike 3DS Shuffle, it will not fully load otherwise. Regular server maintenance for Shuffle Mobile is scheduled on Tuesdays from 5:00-6:00 AM (UTC), meaning the game is unplayable during these hours. According to the official support website, Shuffle Mobile has been tested and verified to work on the Xperia Z3 (SO-01G), the Nexus 7 (2013), and the iPhone and may not display correctly on other phones and tablets. It may very well work correctly on many other devices. These other devices are just not verified to work correctly. Shuffle Mobile requires iOS 7.0 or later or Android 4.1 or later. It does not support rooted devices. Shuffle Mobile currently requires on-device storage of approximately 90.93 MB, but periodically updates will require additional on-device storage.
Game data may be transferred between devices, but not to/from 3DS Shuffle or shared between devices. Once a transfer code is issued under "Issue a transfer code" in "Options", in can be entered along with the client number when the game is first launched on the new device. Jewels will not be transferred to a different OSes. Transfer codes expire after expire 30 days from being issued and cannot be issued again for 30 days after the last transfer.
Differences from the 3DS version
- Notifications, which can be turned on and off under "Options" and then "Settings", are sent to the phone or table notifying them when Hearts have regenerated.
- In countries outside Asia, players who are younger than 13 years old cannot make in-app purchases.
- Pokémon Shuffle Mobile does not make use of StreetPass like 3DS Shuffle. It instead uses Facebook integration. Facebook integration allows players to send and receive mini Hearts to and from their friends. When mini Hearts are collected, it fills up the Friend Gauge. When the Friend Gauge fills completely, a Heart is obtained. Additionally, Facebook integration is disabled for players under 13.
- First successfully completion of a battle against Trainers with Mega Evolved Pokémon at the end of each area earns 5 Hearts instead of a Jewel like 3DS Shuffle.
- Special stages are not always held on the same schedule as 3DS Shuffle.
- Special Competitive Stage rankings for Shuffle Mobile are counted separately from those of 3DS Shuffle.
- Some stages require two Hearts to be played, unlike the 3DS version.
- The Check in function is replaced by the game logging in automatically at launched.
- Gifts are received under the "Gifts" tab.
- Passcodes are incompatible between 3DS Shuffle and Shuffle Mobile.
- Shuffle Mobile players may not purchase more than ¥10,000 (or equivalent) per month.
- Prices for Items and Jewels differ between the 3DS Shuffle and Mobile Shuffle, as noted in those respective sections.
Gameplay
Pokémon Shuffle is a puzzle game in which players match Pokémon icons to defeat wild Pokémon, in a similar style to Pokémon Battle Trozei. Players try to capture Pokémon by defeating them and then using them as Support Pokémon to capture more Pokémon. Each Pokémon has a Skill that is activated when the Pokémon is matched in a battle, as long as the specific skill criteria is met (sometimes at random) and the match is not the second or later match in combinations or Combo (matches that immediately follow one after the other without players making any additional moves). During normal game-play, Pokémon can be moved anywhere in the Puzzle Area, but cannot be moved if they do not cause a match (the pair will revert their positions once dropped). No-match moves are allowed in timed-based stages (rather than move-based stages). Frozen Pokémon ("Barrier-type") and non-Pokémon Rock ("Unbreakable-block" and "Breakable-rock") Disruptions cannot be moved by players.
Tutorial
All players must complete the tutorial portion of the game, which lasts until Stage 11 is completed, before they will have full access to all game features. Throughout the tutorial, players are guided by Amelia. Players start the game with 5 regenerating Hearts, 0 bonus Hearts, 0 Coins, 0 Jewels, and no Support Pokémon.
- Upon starting the game, Amelia briefly introduces the game and then directs (forces) players to Stage 1 versus Espurr. Players are not offered the opportunity to buy Items. During the battle, Amelia directs the moves, guaranteeing that Espurr is not only defeated but 100% catchable. Espurr is now the first "Supporter Pokémon" available to players to battle other Pokémon.
- Amelia next directs players to Stage 2 versus Bulbasaur. Because players now have "Coins" after completing Stage 1, Amelia introduces the concept of buying "Items". While players currently do not have enough Coins to buy any Items, Amelia gives them a free "Moves +5" to demonstrate how purchasing Items works.
- After successfully completing Stage 2, the game opens the menu directly into Stage 3 versus Squirtle. An "Optimize" button (which did not appear before) is now present. Amelia explains how players can click on this button to have the game automatically select the most effective Pokémon from their captured "Suppoter Pokèmon" inventory for the given stage's Pokémon opponent. She also explains type effectiveness. Pokémon each has a "Type". Each Type is more or less effective against other Types. Players may still choose their Pokémon manually if they prefer.
- After starting Stage 4 versus Charmander, Amelia explains the concept of "Skills". Skills are special powers that are activated when Pokémon are matched. Each Pokémon has a Skill. Some Skills are more common than others. Only one Skill is activated during multiple matches, typically the first match. Some Skills have specials conditions that must be met before they activate.
- After completing Stage 5, when players try to catch the Eevee opponent, the game forces the Poké Ball to fail. However, Amelia then gives them a "Great Ball" for free. Players are automatically successful when they use the Great Ball. Afterward, players are given a free "Jewel", followed by Amelia explaining the concept of Jewels. The game then offers players the Jewel purchase menu, encouraging them to purchase 5 Hearts (6 Hearts in Shuffle Mobile). Doing so is not necessary to continue playing and enjoying Pokémon Shuffle.
- At the start of Stage 6, Amelia explains the concept of "Disruptions" since Pidgey turns Support Pokémon into a "Breakable-Rock" Disruption. Disruptions are an opponent's means of hindering progress. Some stages start with them already in place, as well as being applied by the opposing Pokémon.
- Players face Togepi in Stage 7.
- When players open the menu for Stage 8 versus Pichu, Amelia explains the concept of a "3-Pokémon Stage", of which this is an example. Players have just three Pokémon Supporter slots to use in the battle instead of the typical four.
- In Stage 9, players face an Audino.
- In Stage 10 versus a Trainer with a Mega Audino, Amelia hints that the stage will be different from all the other stages but lets players discover for themselves just how "Mega Evolution" works in Pokémon Shuffle.
- Upon starting Stage 11 versus Happiny, Amelia explains that the very first slot (furthermost to the left) available when players assemble their Support Pokémon changed to include a large circle, which is a Mega Stone slot, in order to facilitate Pokémon that can Mega Evolve. When Pokémon Mega Evolve, its Skill is replaced by a powerful Mega Evolution ability. While often similar to one another, each Mega Evolution ability is unique within Pokémon Shuffle.
- Before starting Stage 12 versus Mareep, Amelia gives players a free Heart (5 regenerating Hearts in Shuffle Mobile). She also explains the "Check In" button that now appears for the first time (3DS Shuffle only). Check in provides players with daily Coin rewards (typically 500 Coins). She then departs, assuring players they will meet again.
Catching Pokémon
Players must first defeat a Pokémon in order to have a chance to catch it. Fixed capture rates vary between stages, but the rate always increases based on the number of moves unused at the end of a battle (or time left unused in time-based stages). The more moves (or time) left unused, the higher the capture rate percentage. Version 1.2.0 introduced a random "Super Catch Power" event that will occasionally be offered for free that will automatically double the capture rate. Finally, the purchase of a Great Ball after a failed capture attempt always doubles the capture rate percentage of the initial attempt (including a rate already doubled through a "Super Catch Power" event).
Damage
Damage for each match is equal to the attack power as shown in the Pokémon List for the given level of the Pokémon modified by the following factors.
- Effectiveness:
- Not very effective: x0.5
- Normally effective: x1
- Super effective: x2
- Status conditions: depends on which status has been afflicted on the opposing Pokémon
- Combo:
- 1: x1
- 2-4: x1.1
- 5-9: x1.15
- 10-24: x1.2
- 25-49: x1.3
- 50-74: x1.4
- 75-99: x1.5
- 100-199: x2
- 200+: x2.5
- Length of match:
- 1: x0.3
- 2: x0.6
- 3: x1
- 4: x1.5
- 5: x2
- 6: x3
- Skills:
- Most Skills impact damage calculations. Damage multipliers for Skills are on the "Skill" page.
Disruptions
Disruptions are events added to some stages at the start of the battle or by the opposing Pokémon to make clearing the stage more challenging. They are typically added when the opposing Pokémon's counter reaches zero. Counters decrease when moves are made or time elapses. The counter does not decrease if the opposing Pokémon is paralyzed, asleep, or frozen. Some Pokémon create Disruptions after a certain amount of time or number of matches, but will not count any Combos or matches performed while it is paralyzed, asleep or frozen.
All Disruptions can be erased by a Mega Effect. All Disruptions can be cleared by the Skills Stabilize, Stabilize+, and Disrupt Buster. Swap and Swap+ can replace Disruptions with a Support Pokémon.
Disruption | Effect |
---|---|
Barrier-type | Prevents the Pokémon icon or Disruption under it from moving in any way, including falling. Can be cleared by making a match using the Pokémon icon under it, Barrier Bash Skill and the icon it affects being erased by Mega Effects, Quirky, or Quirky+. If cleared by matching the icon underneath or a Skill other than Quirky or Quirky+, the Pokémon icon under it is not destroyed. Can affect most other Disruptions, and can be under a Black-cloud Disruption. |
Non-Support Pokémon icon | A Pokémon icon of a Pokémon that was not selected as a support Pokémon for the stage. Can be moved freely, perform matches with itself and activate its skill. Can be cleared in any way a normal Pokémon icon can (including by another one of them activating Quirky, Quirky+, or Eject, although they may not be affected by Stabilize, Stabilize+, or Disrupt Buster. They come in three sub-types: as an additional support Pokémon (but without immunity to Eject), in the level at the start but not added by falling in, and added by the opposing Pokémon. Of these, only the first will change species if it is the same as the player's support Pokémon. |
Coin | An icon that gives players bonus Coins if matched. Can be moved freely and performs matches with itself. Can be cleared in any way a normal Pokémon icon can, and they are affected by Stabilize, Stabilize+, Swap, and Disrupt Buster. +100 Coins for a match of three, +300 Coins for a match of four, +500 for a match of five, and +700 for a match of six, regardless of any combos. |
Unbreakable-block | A square gray metal block that falls, but cannot be moved by the stylus. Can be cleared by making 5 moves after it appears on the field, Block Smash, or Mega Effects. |
Breakable-rock | A square brown rock that falls, but cannot be moved by the stylus. Can be cleared by making a match in any square next to it (not diagonally), Rock Break, or Mega Effects. Unaffected by the removal of an adjoining a barrier-type Disruption, but destroyed if an adjoining unbreakable-block Disruption breaks from players performing five moves since its introduction. |
Black-cloud | Prevents players from seeing what is in the square it occupies. The Pokémon icon in this square can still be part of a match and can be moved. Can only be cleared by Cloud Clear or having whatever is under it erased (Mega Effects, Quirky, or Quirky+ clearing it). Immune to Mega Effects if there is no Pokémon icon under it when the effect activates and targets the square it is in. All other Disruptions can be present under it. |
Let's shake things up!
If at any time during a stages there are no valid moves available to players (that at least result in a triplet match), the game will say "Let's shake things up!" and randomly replace all Pokémon on the Puzzle Area. In so doing, all current Disruptions are removed from play and any Disruptions present at the start of the match are reestablished. Players then continue to play as normal. The clock during time-based Stages stops while the match is "Shaken up!". If players are out of moves or time when this happens, even if the reset board contains matches, none of them will deal damage unless players chooses to continue by paying a Jewel.
Mega Evolution
- Main article: Mega Evolution
Mega Stones are given out throughout the game, awarded when players defeat the corresponding Mega Pokémon used by a Trainer. When players capture the corresponding Pokémon (always on a different stage, never the Mega Pokémon stage), they can only activate its Mega Evolution by placing it in the very first or front Support position when setting up for a battle. The Mega Evolution is activated by repeatedly matching the Pokémon that Mega Evolves until the Mega Gauge to the left of the play area is full. While Mega Evolved, the Pokémon's regular Skill is replaced by a Mega Effect that activates whenever it is matched. The clock for time-based stages stops while the Mega Evolution occurs. Pokémon with Mega Stones that are in the second, third, or fourth Support positions do not Mega Evolve.
Ranks
When players complete a stage, they will be awarded a Rank, which is displayed next to their total score on a popup. From lowest to highest, the four play ranks are: "C", "B", "A", and "S". The highest rank players have ever earned on a particular stage is what is displayed in the overworld, next to the stage. The rank players earns is determined by the number of moves or amount of time players have remaining plus the total number of moves or amount of time with which players started the stage. On some Special Stages, including but not limited to "Meowth's Coin Mania", Competitive Stages, and the "Pokémon Safari", previous rankings do not appear because the "S-rank" is always granted regardless of performance.
- For most move-based stages, if the number of moves remaining upon competition of the stage is greater than or equal to half the total number of moves they started with (rounded down), players will be awarded an "S-rank". While the purchase of a "+5 Moves" Item does not affect catch rate percentages, it does affect Rank.
- For most time-based stages, if the amount of time remaining upon competition of the stage is greater than or equal to half the total amount of time they started with (rounded down), players will be awarded an "S-rank".
- All Competitive Stages and Stage 149: Haxorus will always grant an "S-rank" upon competition, regardless of performance. "Meowth's Coin Mania" also shares this trait.
Expert Stages are unlocked depending on total number of "S-rank" players has received on Main Stage path. "S-ranks" earned in Expert and Special Stages have no impact on gameplay, including contributing towards the unlocking of new Expert Stages.
The specific range of moves (or time) that earn a given rank below S serve no functional value to the game's mechanics. They do not effect the strength of the Pokémon you capture, nor do they contribute to unlocking Expert Stages. They simply provide players with an rough indication of their performance. It is impossible to even earn a B or C rank on stages that start with a low move count.
Skills
- Main article: Skill
Skills are special abilities that Pokémon activate when they are combined in a match. There are a wide variety of skills available in Pokémon Shuffle, but the specific skill associated with a specific Pokémon never changes in Pokémon Shuffle.
Check in
Nintendo 3DS players can use the "Check in" function once per day (server days end at 6:00 AM UTC the morning after the day ends in UTC time), which connects the player's game to the Internet and gives them a reward for doing so. This normally grants 500 Coins, but will instead grant 1000 Coins every 10 times players Check in. Checking more than once in a 24-hour period does not contribute toward 1000 Coin rewards.
Checking in also checks for any patches that players may not have already installed. If there are any minor patches, the game asks 3DS players if they wish to download extra data. If they do, it automatically downloads and installs it. This is the only way to install minor game patches. If there are any major patches, the game provides a link to a page on the Nintendo eShop to download it and requests that players do so. If there is a patch that players do not install, players cannot Check in. If a patch is released partway through the day and the check-in function has already been used, the patch can be downloaded on that day by selecting the "Check-in" button, but will not succeed with check-in reward advancement.
Checking in also synchronizes the system's copy of UTC time with the server, regulating when Special Stages appear. If the system time is changed, players must Check in again to regain access to any active Special Stages they have, thereby resyncing with the server. Special Stages that do not begin on the day a new version is released can be accessed even if players have not Checked in that day, as long as the system has the version of the game with the stage programmed (for example, the Hoenn Legends stages appeared at the start time for anyone who had updated the game to the version released on that Monday, regardless of whether or not they had Checked in on or after the release time).
Shuffle Mobile players instead have "Data Update" functionality, which installs minor and major updates automatically.
Stages
As of February 16, 2016, all versions of Pokémon Shuffle consist of over 388 stages, each of which gives players the chance to catch a unique Pokémon. New stages are still being added with routine updates to the game.
Area | Stages | Boss |

Currencies
Jewels
The game's microtransactions are focused around Jewels. Jewels can be obtained in-game by completing Trainer Mega Pokémon stages (first time only, 3DS Shuffle only), as prizes in Special contest stages (often to runner-ups), for obtaining StreetPasses, and occasionally as gifts. One Jewel was given to all players on February 21, 2015 to apologize for a software glitch that occurred around February 19, 2015; this bonus was for everyone, not just those affected by the glitch.
In Pokémon Shuffle, Jewels are obtained via purchase on the Nintendo eShop (3DS Shuffle) or in the Jewel Shop (Shuffle Mobile). Players under the age of 18 cannot spend more than a fixed amount in-game per month (US$80, €100, £80, AU$150, NZ$150, or ¥10,000).
In Pokémon Shuffle Mobile, players may not purchase more than ¥10,000 (or equivalent) per month. This is displayed as purchase points, which start at 1,000 at reset on the first day of each month. In countries outside Asia, players who are younger than 13 years old cannot make in-app purchases.

Jewels can be exchanged for either Hearts or Coins at the following rates:
|
|
Upon running out of turns or time during a stage, players can spend 1 Jewel to gain 5 additoinal turns or 15 seconds. This bonus is not counted towards the time/turn bonus when catching the Pokémon.
From July 31 to August 17, 2015, a limited-time offer was available where players who bought at least one set of more than one Jewel would get six additional Jewels when they first check in during the 30 days from the next Wednesday after the corresponding purchase period. These periods are shown in the table below:
Dates of purchase | Dates of bonus availability |
---|---|
July 31 to August 3, 2015 | August 5 to September 5, 2015 |
August 3 to 10, 2015 | August 12 to September 12, 2015 |
August 10 to 17, 2015 | August 19 to September 19, 2015 |
From December 22, 2015 to January 12, 2016, a bulk rate on 118 Jewels was offered for ¥9,800 or US $79.99, requiring 980 purchase points.
Hearts
Players begin the game with five Hearts. Each time a stage is played, a Heart is consumed; Hearts are replenished over time at the rate of one Heart every thirty minutes, or can be obtained in exchange for Jewels or via certain conditions via StreetPass.
Coins
Each time a stage is successfully completed (regardless of whether or not the Pokémon was caught), players are rewarded with a fixed number of Coins. For Main Stages, this is typically 100 Coins. Repeating stages successfully obtains an additional 20 Coins. Special Stages will sometimes reward additional Coins, including as a stage clear bonus, with repeat clears sometimes only rewarding 10 Coins. Coins are spent on in-game Items.

StreetPass
- Main article: StreetPass
If StreetPass is enabled for Pokémon Shuffle, whenever players StreetPasses another player with StreetPass enabled for Pokémon Shuffle on their Ninento 3DS they will share data with each other. Players are added to the StreetPass tag log, which will display their most recently used Pokémon, their total playtime, their number of stages cleared, their number of Pokémon caught, and their number of previous StreetPass tags, as well as the time they were last StreetPassed.
Additionally, players receive rewards based on the number of StreetPass tags they have gained.
Number of Tags | Reward |
---|---|
First StreetPass tag | 1 Jewel |
5 StreetPass tags | 1 Heart |
Every 10 StreetPass tags* | 1 Heart |
Every 100 StreetPass tags before 10,000 tags total | 1 Jewel |
Further rewards are earned if the same system is met via StreetPass multiple times in a row. These rewards are in addition to any earned for the total number of hits.
Tags | Reward |
---|---|
3-4 | 1 Heart |
5 | 2 Hearts |
Finally, if there are no StreetPass tags received in a long enough period, more rewards may be earned upon receiving a new tag. This is in addition to any rewards earned for the number of tags. It is currently unknown if this resets the counter of multiple tags from the same system in a row.
Days between tags | Reward |

In Pokémon Shuffle Mobile, Facebook integration is used instead of StreetPass

Version 1.2.x
Version 1.2.0 was available from the Nintendo eShop on May 26, 2015. This update provides a significant number of new features and bug fixes.
- Hearts are separated into regenerating Hearts and bonus Hearts (obtained either from StreetPass or exchanging Jewels). Regenerating Hearts are capped at 5, and will always be used instead of the bonus Hearts if there are any. Bonus hearts are capped at 99. Any Hearts players had before the update are now treated as bonus Hearts, and the player's regenerating Hearts start off at 5 after installing the update.
- A candy icon now appears in the top right corner of Mega Effect descriptions, with "0/x" next to it. The value of x depends on the species of the Pokémon; it differs even between Pokémon with the same Mega Effect and seems to be tied with how long each Pokémon takes to Mega Evolve. Version 1.2.2 reveals this indicates the maximum number of Mega Speedup enhancements that may be used on that Pokémon.
- Levels and experience points are now displayed on the Optimize screen.
- After successfully completing a stage, if players fail to catch a Pokémon with their first Poké Ball (before using a Great Ball), they have a chance of being offered a "Super Catch Power". This Super Catch Power provides a somewhat random boost on top of the Great Ball's boost (players still uses a Great Ball, and can use the same number of Great Balls as they could without the "Super Catch Power").
- After successfully catching a Pokémon, its attack power and Skill are now displayed on the top screen, in the same way as when selecting Pokémon for a stage.
- The Skill "Block Bash" has been renamed "Block Smash", and the "Bonbon Boulevard" area has been renamed "Sweet Strasse".
- If players leave a stage select screen and later returns to it, it will reappear exactly as players left it. Previously, the screen would be focused on the last available stage in that category.
- New mechanics added to detect cheating and remove such entries from Competitive Stages. Such removed entries are given the lowest possible rank. Any cheating player must legitimately beat the score used from cheating to rank in the competition again; this means if players submit a score of 50,000 and is removed, players cannot submit a new score unless they can score 50,001.
- Prevents going to the Home menu by pressing the Home button during timed stages while the timer is running. Previously, this exploit could be used to view the board without a timer in both Expert Stages and Competitive Stages.
- Fixes a bug which caused some non-Mega Evolved icons of the lead Pokémon to appear after Mega Evolution on Stage 176: Timburr.
- Fixes a bug which prevented Mewtwo from Mega Evolving into Mega Mewtwo Y, and from being selected as the lead Pokémon when using the Optimize button.

For example, at the time of the 1.2.0 update the counter shows x/168 while viewing Main Stages, and x/20 while viewing Expert Stages.
- The Pokéball and ranking icons that can appear next to a stage have been changed. Rather than appearing as a small icon above the ranking, the Pokéball has been enlarged and now acts as a backdrop for the ranking.
- A red exclamation point appears next to stages that have not been played yet.

Version 1.3.x
Version 1.3.0 became available on December 9, 2015. This update makes a few graphical changes to the user interface, and features the return of Amelia.
- Amelia returns to introduce a new recommended-Pokémon system. Each Pokémon is ranked from zero to three token-like icons (which resemble Amelia's face), based on some unknown criteria related to usefulness. The more icons a Pokémon has, the more the game recommends that players catch and use it. These icons are visible while browsing stages, as well as when players look at Pokémon in the Pokémon List.
- All Main Stage Mega Pokémon stages, all Expert Stages, and several difficult Main Stages now display a "recommended level" when selected. It is suggested that the player's Pokémon be around this level before attempting the corresponding stage. This does not appear on event stages.
- When the game is closed the player's last position is saved, and players are returned to that position upon reopening the game. For example, if players were to close the game while at the Meowth stage, then they would start there upon reopening the game. Prior to this update, players would always start at the furthest Main Stage that they had unlocked.
- The rank symbol appearing after clearing a level flashes continuously.
