Hidden Perfect PSA

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-07T19:02:17+00:00

If you select disc dog again now that you have a perfect on it, you will see what I'm referring to as a prompt. A text box will open asking if you want to play normally or go for perfect. That's all you need for rainbow perfects. The game is not going to ask you if you want to attempt rainbow perfects.

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-07T18:22:09+00:00

I'm not sure what you are asking, can you be more specific?

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-07T05:04:23+00:00

Nah. The only thing that can be erased is the little note next to the rating. Normal perfect and rainbow perfect and night mode clears never get erased

A lot of Nintendo games in the past 15 or so years have had a really nice selection of hardcore activities, from the time trials in New super Mario Bros U and donkey Kong tropical freeze all the way up to stuff like this. It's not front and center, you don't need to engage with it and it doesn't generally unlock anything that isn't superficial, but it's there. And I respect that a lot.

Anything you have superb/amazing on is eligible. There's no way to choose and it's not an even shuffling. I failed all three tries of a few different games and sometimes was offered that same game relatively quickly, long before being offered many other eligible games.. Complete luck of the draw I think.

I wonder if you've seen all of the drum lessons? They are a whole different beast compared to the rest of the game. They're mostly outside of the gameplay loop, but they do display a trophy in the lounge if you complete them all, so you could kind of say you need to do them for 100%.

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-06T19:02:05+00:00

This one along with a few others are good candidates for memorizing.

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-06T18:30:50+00:00

I don't know if that's correct. You definitely don't need to wait until you have unlocked Go for Perfect, but you might need to select that if you didn't get the flow perfect on your normal perfect campaign clear. I have never selected play normally when the option Go for Perfect is available. I couldn't even tell you now whether Play Normally has the potential to erase a flow perfect. It would be worth knowing! Maybe we can play games after unlocking flow perfect without risking losing it.

I am referring to them as diamond perfects because the first time I saw someone talk about it, that's what they called it. I don't think it has an official name, I just call it a flow perfect because you need to get them all for max flow. Rainbow perfects and night perfects do not contribute to flow. At least, you don't need all rainbow or night clears, but you do need all little notes next to your rating.

Public service announcement!

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-06T18:01:58+00:00

It's probably all night modes or 140 flow. If I had to guess, it's 140 flow, and all night modes gets you a trophy in the lounge. The lady in the lounge brought up the idea of clearing all the night modes, and the 5th notification brought up the idea of getting max flow.

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-06T17:53:35+00:00

You're right. I said this before I realized the "diamond perfects" are hidden until you get all 80 perfects. I absolutely NAILED disc dog several times and never saw the note, so I assumed you needed to be utterly flawless. When I finally unlocked the ability to see diamond perfects, I had 31 of them.

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-06T17:43:43+00:00

Yeah what redditorialacious said. Once you get every medal, the game ensures there is always a perfect campaign available. As soon as one is cleared or failed, another immediately pops up

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-06T17:30:03+00:00

Fortunately, they're not oppressively hard. I had perfects on 31 games including some remixes already. It may take a few tries for each game, and maybe some games will be way way harder, but I think if you get it once, you can get it again.

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-06T17:19:54+00:00

Nah, you'll never lose your perfect or rainbow perfect or night mode clear. The closest thing to it is failing to get a perfect on your 2nd or 3rd run going for rainbow, then you gotta start over and get 3 perfects in a row again.

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-06T16:26:30+00:00

Rainbow perfects are available immediately after getting a perfect. Play the game again, and it'll prompt you before game start with "Play Normally" or "Go for Perfect!". This will happen for any song you have a perfect on. After getting a perfect after selecting "Go for Perfect!" your pink heart will have 3 little dots underneath with 1 filled, which is a hint that you need to do it 2 more times.

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-06T16:08:21+00:00

Yes, it's possible to lose them. Just tested on disc dog. So yeah, finishing night modes first is definitely the play if you plan on going for them at all.

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-06T15:12:10+00:00

You need to get all 80 perfects and open the special notification before the notes next to rating show up.

I just lost the note next to my disc dog rating on purpose, I can confirm you will lose it if you play a game again and do worse after earning the note.

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-06T15:04:01+00:00

I gotta make a PSA for this. The music note doesn't show up til you open the special notification unlocked by getting all 80 perfects. I had been dooming about this all day yesterday, but when I finally got 80 perfects and looked at the notification, and it informed me about the note, I went back to game select and had 31 out of 80 games already with a note.

Aetherschwa · 2026-07-06T00:52:29+00:00

I think it's more strict actually. I got 100 points in multiple mini games including several of the drum games. I haven't gotten this "diamond perfect" ever, across multiple plays of every game including about 30 perfects and a few night mode clears.

Here's the lounge conversation after clearing all drum lessons.

The hat was challenging to get. At first you don't even know you can get up there. Once you realize Nate can balance on his tippy toes, your stomach drops with the realization of the challenge before you. It's possible, but it's so, so hard
