Score Attack

Score Attack title screen.

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[edit]

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.

Easy[edit]

The team consists of Boo Mario for the Leader; a Green Koopa Troopa, a Red Koopa Troopa, a Yellow Koopa Troopa, and a Goomba for allies; and Boo Luigi for the Helper. All teammates are at level 25.

This difficulty has a grassland theme. There are three battles and one boss battle. The first battle consists of three Spinies, the second battle has a single Ice Bro, the third has a Banzai Bill Cannon, and the boss battle has a Bone Piranha Plant and a Lakitu.

To clear this difficulty quickly, the player must utilize Boo Mario and Boo Luigi's Leader/Helper Skills which raise ATK by 2.5x by clearing three attributes or more (with both brothers, this multiplier goes up to 6.25x).
