i just get this idea. how about an Arcade mode? the current Solo mode seems to be a Hi-score mode. why not stack them in one single menu? along with other possible single-player modes. the arcade mode goes like this: you choose a mode(osu!, Taiko, CTB or Mania) then a difficulty(higher difficulties could be locked until further progress), then a beatmap set(Set A, Set B, Set C, Set D, etc). Mods could be locked until further progress or not. you complete the maps of the set you choose, al in a row. if you lose on a map, you'll lose a life and you'll have to restart it from the beginning. lose all lives and its Game over. when you clear the set, the lives remaining will add to your total score. of course there will be leaderboards(top 10 i think it should be)

Sounds like mission mode to me.
Great idea there. At least pull out NF (and SD/PF if desired) mod in arcade mode.

if you like it, you know what to do
Also makes the game more interesting. I like thisLoliFlan wrote:

oh bite me, this isn't a duplicate

i mean, it's not an endless mode, its the regular mode that most games that had an arcade machine version have. it starts and finishes. and in order to prevent it to become boring, there are several sets to start with in each difficulty and in each mode
Great idea..!! 
It sounds quite complex actually to be honest. It might be just me though.

more features for this mode: Final bosses that takes place after finishing all previous stages in a set and extra stages that can take place after clearing any map or after the final boss, but if u meet certain requirements
oh good idea 
Topic Starter
heres a very clear idea about how it should work: once you choose a set, after finishing a song, the game will ask you to branch out, selecting one of two songs, and so on. the song you choose may determine your final "boss" and extra stages. the image below is an example, i think it should be higher than that(9 stages and 5 final bosses). of course you don't battle all "bosses" at once, just 1 at each game, depending of the path you choose. this is to keep alive the interest in osu!.
edit: if this looks exhausting or confusing, you can take a break from selecting songs by playing a unique song between branches(that also counts as a stage)

edit: at the end of the game, the credits will roll(of the entire osu! staff of course) and after that, you'll get your place on the leaderboards with your average performance and accuracy calculated by gathering all your performance and acc of all stages played. could be something like this, its ok if im wrong
C + C + C + B + A + B + D + S + A + B = B
99+98+97+96+95+94+93+92+91+90=95
C + C + C + B + A + B + D + S + A + B = B
99+98+97+96+95+94+93+92+91+90=95

a fifth difficulty could be available for this mode, called Extreme. its only 1 set and features the top 10 maps accord to osu! tp. it will unlock in 1 of 2 ways, you choose the most convenient: 1-when you accomplish certain requirements. 2-when you are good enough for that mode

i was thinking of a side story with interaction in first person, but i think that will ruin the "arcade" feeling. i think it should remain static
It does sound more mission mode than arcade but it'd be nice, especially the sets.
I always wanted something like Dan courses from IIDX, where you achieve a rank for clearing each course, implemented.

Also, limit the beatmaps length at the selection, under 6 mins. Above that is (usually) marathon beatmaps.

of course i will
edit: for the fifth difficulty, i think it should be the top 20 maps, because you cant see a Big Black-like map everyday

I love this idea!
but...I just not clear about the enemies
the enemies is a map? or a player?
and it play solo only? or can invite other player?
just ignore me...

im kinda stuck when it comes to the graphics of the interface of that mode. can you contribute with something or i have to wait for peppy to get a flash of genius?
Most of those are tag4/2b/trollmaps though.Trash Boat wrote:

Really I think you should be able to play collections in arcade mode. It will choose maps only from that collection.
This actually seems pretty interesting, I would support but I'm all out of stars so here, have some imaginary ones: ***

i think it should be a predeterminated set each. and those beatmaps are perfect because..tuddster wrote:

here's some idea about what could be the main menu graphics
sorry for my paint skills
also, the Solo mode could be called Freeplay mode, in case

So is there a predetermined set of beatmaps in each Set? Are you supposed to choose them yourself? Are they random? This part just confused me a little, but it sounds fun if it is what I think it is.

The set of the 5th difficulty is already set, there will be the top 20 of osu! Tp. But the maps of the other sets, mm.. ihavent decided that yet. Maybe i should let the community or peppy to choose them
For making sets, you should let the community submit map sets with songs they want, as well as other "official" arcade map setsTrash Boat wrote:

Perhaps a random mode would work by making a temporary map pack for play
Just my thoughts

Just suggestion
[you can choose your own map for the rounds] after playing a diff you will not be able to play an level that lower than the current diff, base on the star rating, you must play an equal / highe level maps, with 5th map is presetted/marathon maps
Shortly, delete all those set A B C D EZ NM blahblah
I want to star this but i dont have any D:

i already say it, there will be predetermined sets chosen by the community. not going to change it
I like the Idea
And it would be great to play something different

how about leaving a open VS request so anyone can challenge you to a multiplayer match? like Street Fighter 4. or its better wthout that?
I actually really like this idea a whole lot, it'll definitely spice up the classic gameplay.
osu! arcade is the future!
I support this idea! Sounds very cool... I love the concept.

im considering seriously the possibility of leaving an open VS request so anyone can challenge you at any time while playing, as long as you leave it open. like Street fighter 4. you can customize it of course
ignore autoplay stuff
the icon will vary accord to the mode you are playing.
