Don Point ranks

From Taiko PS2 4 to PS2 7 and the first two PSP Taiko games, a points system was implemented to unlock the various hidden songs and Taiko sounds in those games. The points are awarded for every minigame and song you clear. Difficulty and your own performance will determine how many points you get for it.

Each time a certain number of points is achieved, you gain one rank until you reach the highest one, and the number of points required to reach each rank is different fpr PS2 and PSP. The Don Point system has been terminated from Taiko DS1 onwards in favor of newer methods to unlock stuff.

The following are the ranks for each game and the number of points to get to them.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Atsumare! Matsuri da! Yondaime
Taiko no Tatsujin: Go! Go! Godaime
Taiko no Tatsujin: Tobikkiri! Anime Special
