The ultimate goal of Climate Grand Challenges is to launch up to five large-scale, multi-year grand challenge projects. 2 MIT is committed to helping raise the funds for these projects. Plans are being developed to connect the White Paper teams with interested organizations and individuals, including philanthropic and industrial interests.
- The Climate Challenge aims to provide players with insights into the dynamics at play and to stimulate reflection on collaboration between different players with different interests and perspectives. The Climate Challenge is based on the tragedy of the commons, complexity theory, game theory and cooperation strategies.
- The Climates are your typical family. Janine Climate a.k.a. Mom loves being bundled up, which is why the arrival of Fall and cooler weather is her favorite part of the year – and where we’ll start our story. Arthur Climate a.k.a. Dad loves the cooler weather.

This trick requires a controller with an auto-fire feature. Set a game to play in Event mode and start a Versus game at any difficulty, except for Oni mode. Using a method of your choice, hold X or Circle for an extended period of time at the song selection screen. Songs that can be unlocked by playing a number of songs should be unlocked after about one and a half hours. Note: This will affect the Best rating of one song; most likely the default song.
Easier gameTo complete the songs easier, enable the 'Extra options' code, then choose 'Little' at the cheat menu. Additionally, play the game in Light mode to unlock songs easier.
Unlocking new songs and Oni coursesTo unlock new items, modes, songs, and Oni courses, you must get a certain amount of points. After the credits begin, the game displays how many points needed for the next unlockable bones. The following ranks will earn the corresponding amount of points:
- AAA: 10 Points
- AA: 8 Points
- A: 6 Points
- B: 4 Points
- C: 3 Points
- D: 2 Points
- E: 1 Point
The procedure is applicable in Challenge mode; however, because you can only miss four steps per song, then the only rating you can get per song is 'AAA', 'AA', 'A', or 'E'. Also, if two people are playing, you each get points respectively.
