    If you play well, you can active Superstar power by pressing + when the Star on the upper left is full. Do this three times in one song on Junior or Senior difficulty.

  • Max out the performance meter after almost failing

     

    Choose a song you are comfortable with on Junior or Senior difficulty. Intentionally miss notes until the meter is in the red zone and alarm will sound warning you that you are almost failing. Start playing from here to max out the performance meter all the way to the right until the end of the song.

    Choose a song you are comfortable with on Junior or Senior difficulty. Make sure the performance meter doesn’t fall below the yellow zone.
