Don Challenge (shortened to 'DonChare' (ドンチャレ)) was introduced in the July 2012 update of Taiko no Tatsujin (HD) for Banapassport-equipped arcade players, which is a set of 11 goals that has to be cleared by playing the game and meeting certain criteria. The challenges change on a monthly basis, and once a certain number of them are cleared, the player can unlock new songs and titles for themselves too! 10 of the goals can be cleared by individual players, and the 11th one is a group effort, contributed by all players with Banapassports.
The songs unlocked through Don Challenge will be available to all other players in the following month when the goals are renewed, so it is an incentive for regular arcade-goers to clear goals so that they may be able to play new songs earlier than everyone else and unlock more new content.
Below is the list of Don Challenge goals made for the Taiko Kimidori Version firmware and the content they unlock. These will also be listed in the related unlock article.
Note: unless otherwise specified:
- All difficulties (including Ura) are accepted
- Clearing is not required in score goals, but playing in Shin-uchi is not accepted
- ★ means this song can satisfy multiple goals at once
