Score Attack



Score Attack is a mode in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition. Accessed from the Select World menu, the player must defeat all the enemies within a 300 second time limit. All teammates use all five attributes and their Skills are maxed out at level 7. After clearing the boss battle at the end, the player will earn a rank - with D being the lowest, and S++ being the highest - based on how much time they have left, and their high score.

Version 1.0
Score Attack has three difficulties: Easy, Medium, and Hard, all of which use all Orb types. When the player updates Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition to version 2.0, Score Attack is heavily revamped and these courses no longer appear as standalone courses.
