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 in a course within a time limit. After clearing the boss battle at the end, the player earns a rank - 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. All teammates use all five attributes and their Skills are maxed out to level 7. 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.
