In these levels, the basis for ranking is not the player's score, but the mean number of points given on a scale of one to ten by three computer judges after three sets. The other three levels are competitions, where the goal is to receive a gold, silver, or bronze medal by ranking higher than the other skaters.

The goal of the game is to successfully perform and combine aerials, flips, and grinds, with successful executions adding to the player's score.
