Types of stages
Stages can be categorized into two types. These include Story and Free Quest stages.

Story
Story stages are mandatory stages which tell the main story. Progressing the story will also unlock gameplay features of the game. To unlock the next story stage, players must complete the current stage first. In the game, these stages are marked with black heading.

Free Quest
Free Quest stages are optional stages that have no direct bearing on the main story. Once unlocked, players are not required to complete the current stage before proceeding to the next story stage. Corresponding SSR ally is needed to unlock each of the Free Quest H♡ stages. In the game, these stages are marked with purple heading.

Pioneer Zone
Pioner Zone is a new system introduced on Idol Fest. Instead of linear stage progression with skippable Free Quest stages, in Pioneer Zone players must clear a block to gain access to neighboring six blocks. Each block may need some items to unlock. Some of the blocks will give players instant reward without battle or scene. Once players have cleared all blocks in a territory, they can go to the checkpoint block to continue the journey.
