Score
A player's performance on a map is given in terms of score after successful completion of the map. Most of the time, combo plays the major part in the scoring system since it serves as an multiplier of the score. The only score limiter known now is osu!mania, which is capped at 1,000,000 score at 1.00x score boost. The rest are not capped, which can result in ridiculous level of score due to the combo multiplier effect.

osu! Scoring Values
| Picture | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
 |
300 | A possible score one can get when tapping a hit circle precisely on time, completing a Slider and keeping the cursor over every tick, or completing a Spinner with the Spinner Metre full. A score of 300 appears in an orange score star by default. Scoring nothing except 300s in a beatmap will award the player with the SS or SSH grade. |
 |
Geki | A term from Ouendan, called Elite Beat! in EBA. Appears when playing the last element in a combo in which the player has scored only 300s. Getting a Geki will give a sizable boost to the Life Bar. It appears in a typically grander score star than those reserved for points. By default, it is orange. |
 |
100 | A possible score one can get when tapping a Hit Object slightly late or early, completing a Slider and missing a number of ticks, or completing a Spinner with the Spinner Meter almost full. A score of 100 appears in a green score star by default. When very skilled players test a beatmap and they get a lot of 100s, this may mean that the beatmap does not have correct timing. |
 |
Katu | A term from Ouendan, called Beat! in EBA. Appears when playing the last element in a combo in which the player has scored at least one 100, but no 50s or misses. Getting a Katu will give a small boost to the Life Bar. It appears in a typically grander score star than those reserved for points. By default, it is coloured green or orange depending on whether the Katu itself is a 100 or a 300. |
 |
50 | A possible score one can get when tapping a hit circle rather early or late but not early or late enough to cause a miss, completing a Slider and missing a lot of ticks, or completing a Spinner with the Spinner Metre close to full. A score of 50 appears in a blue score by default. Scoring a 50 in a combo will prevent the appearance of a Katu or an Geki at the combo's end. |
 |
Miss | A possible score one can get when not tapping a hit circle or too early (based on OD and AR, it may "shake" instead), not tapping or holding the Slider at least once, or completing a Spinner with low Spinner Metre fill. Scoring a Miss will reset the current combo to 0 and will prevent the appearance of a Katu or an Geki at the combo's end. |
Taiko Scoring Values
| Picture | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
  |
(良) Great | A possible score one can get when hitting the note exactly on the hit area in correct colour. Picture: [1] Large Note [2] Small Note |
  |
(可) Good | A possible score one can get when hitting the note slightly early or late on the hit area in correct colour. Picture: [1] Large Note [2] Small Note. Slightly invisible on the wiki due to concentration of white. |
 |
Miss | A possible score one can get for not hitting the note or hitting the note in wrong colour. |
Catch the Beat Scoring Values
| Picture | Name | Effect |
|---|
osu!mania Scoring Values
| Picture | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Rainbow 300 (MAX) | Perfect hit of the note or hold. Comparing to 300, getting this mark required dead-on accuracy to get it. Otherwise, you will get regular 300. If you manage to complete the beatmap with just this score, you will get 1 mil score (score limit). This is equivalent to "Marvelous" in DDR term. | |
| 300 | Almost perfect hit of the note or hold. If you did not get MAX, you will most likely to get this because your timing is a bit off by a small amount. You can't hit the score limit when you get this mark. | |
| 200 | Slightly early or slightly late hit or hold. New players may get this mark a lot until they got accustomed to the mechanism of the conveyor, speed, buttons and the judgement area. | |
| 100 | Early or late hit or hold. Fills HP bar by small amount. | |
| 50 | Very early or very late hit or hold. If you did not release the hold, you will get this by default. This fills the HP bar by a miniscule amount but will not break the combo. | |
| Miss | Not hitting the note or holding the note using the correct keys. This will drastically drains the HP and breaks the current combo. |
Scoring Formulas
osu!
| Score = Hit Value + Hit Value * (Combo multiplier * Difficulty multiplier * Mod multiplier) / 25 | |
|---|---|
| Hit Value | The hit circle judgement (50, 100 or 300), any slider ticks and spinner's Bonus. |
| Combo multiplier | (Combo before this hit - 1) or 0, whichever is higher. |
| Difficulty multiplier | The difficulty setting for the beatmap. |
| Mod multiplier | The multiplier of the selected mods. |
Taiko

Each GREAT is worth 300 + RoundDown(Combo / 10) times n up to a maximum of 300+10n points in which n depends on the difficulty rating of the song. A typical value of n (4.5-5 star difficulties) is 80, which gives a maximum score of 1100 at later combos. For 4-4.5 star difficulties, n is equal to 64 in which the maximum score per hit is 940. In the hardest case n is equal to 96 in which the maximum score per hit is 1260. Yet there are lower value of n for even easier difficulties.
Each GOOD gives half of the score as GREAT does, while zero score is given for MISS/BADs. Double score is given for successful hit large notes (different from Taiko no Tatsujin, left and right drum must be hit at the same time very precisely in order to allow a successful hit of large notes). For yellow long notes, 300 is given per hit in the small one while 600 per hit is given to the large one. For shaker notes, each shake gives 300 and finishing the shaker gives score twice as much as a GREAT of the current combo.
Unlike osu! or CatchTheBeat, a miss in Taiko will not reduce the score from maximum possible score greatly. Instead, constant score is reduced per miss if each miss is separated by more than 100 combos. (With the existence of shaker and large notes, score loss would be larger) For example, in typical difficulty, breaking a combo in the middle of a song without accounting for large notes and spinners, would result in a maximum loss of 44,000 points (to bring the combo back up to 100).
Also unlike the other game modes, Kiai Time has an effect on scores because it refers to the "gogo time" in Taiko no Tatsujin. While Kiai Time is active, the drum in the upper left changes animation, the playfield has a background gradient and the hit area gains a fire graphic around it. Additionally, all hit notes gain a 1.2x score multiplier, long yellow notes included, except for hits on a shaker (the final hit is still multiplied.)
| Score = (300 + RoundDown(Combo / 10) * score multiplier * mod multiplier) ≤ 1100 | |
|---|---|
| Combo | Combo number. |
| Score multiplier | (?) |
| Mod multiplier | The multiplier of the selected mods. |
- Score multiplier includes 48, 64, 80, 96 corresponding to 3.5, 4, 4.5 and 5 stars difficulty. See Taiko for details.
Catch the Beat
| Score = Hit Value + Hit Value * (Combo multiplier * Difficulty multiplier * Mod multiplier) / 25 | |
|---|---|
| Hit Value | The hit circle judgement (50, 100 or 300). |
| Combo multiplier | (Combo before this hit - 1) or 0, whichever is higher. |
| Difficulty multiplier | The difficulty setting for the beatmap. |
| Mod multiplier | The multiplier of the selected mods. |
NOTE: Comparison between osu! Standard and Catch the Beat:
- No "300" is given to a finished spinner, nor combo is given;
- Reverse tick counts as full score of a hit. (In osu! Standard, a reverse tick only gives 30 points)
osu!mania
In osu!mania mode, each beatmap has the same maximum total score, currently 1,000,000.
The score is given in two parts, base score and bonus score, each contributing 50% of total score.
Base score is based on hit judgement. A rainbow 300 is worth a bit more than 300.
Bonus score is based on hit judgement and a floating bonus multiplier. The multiplier increases when you get a rainbow 300 or 300, while it decreases when you get a 200 or below. The better judgement you get, the more the multiplier increase, or the less punishment. There's an upper limit for the multiplier.
The score given by each note is calculated with the following formula:
Score = BaseScore + BonusScore
BaseScore = (MaxScore * ModMultiplier * 0.5 / TotalNotes) * (HitValue / 320)
BonusScore = (MaxScore * ModMultiplier * 0.5 / TotalNotes) * (HitBonusValue * Sqrt(Bonus) / 320)
Bonus = Bonus before this hit + HitBonus - HitPunishment / ModDivider
Bonus is limited to [0, 100], initially 100.
MaxScore = 1 000 000
ModMultiplier = The score multiplier of the selected mods (difficulty reduction and/or nK)
ModDivider = The punishment divider of the selected mods (difficulty increase)
Judgement HitValue HitBonusValue HitBonus HitPunishment
MAX 320 32 2
300 300 32 1
200 200 16 8
100 100 8 24
50 50 4 44
Miss 0 0 ∞
Other Scores
Ranked Score
The ranked score is the total sum of the best scores for all the ranked beatmap played online. If a player has 250k on Easy and 200k on Medium, the easy score will be counted instead. In some maps, it is better to get a S on a 2-3 star map than a B on a 4.5 star map, because of the combo multiplier.
Total Score
The total score is the total sum of all scores on ranked and/or approved beatmaps, including failed trials. If a player plays a ranked song for the first time and gets 500k, both ranked and total score increase by 500k. Then, the player plays again and gets 400k, only the total score increases by 400k.
Level
The level of a player is based solely on the player's total score. The total score requirement for a given level is as follows:
5,000 / 3 * (4n^3 - 3n^2 - n) + 1.25 * 1.8^(n - 60), where n <= 100 26,931,190,829 + 100,000,000,000 * (n - 100), where n >= 101
The progress to the next level is displayed using a bar next to the player's level.
Note: To reach from level 101 to 102, you will need ~1.27 Billion (US standard) score.
