Dandori Academy Stages: Monthly Releases and the 72-Course Plan

Separate the eventual 72-course roadmap from the available demo, monthly additions, unlimited practice and access to previously released courses.

Are all 72 stages playable now?

No. Nintendo describes 72 stages over time, arranged as six stages across twelve releases. On November 3, the full edition is still due for November 12. The available demo contains an introduction and two named Academy courses, rather than a complete 72-course catalogue.

The demo contents page identifies the current sample. Treat the roadmap as a release plan; it does not supply every course name, object layout or medal cutoff.

How does the monthly schedule work?

Nintendo’s Japanese site says six stages are added on the first Monday of each month. The detailed Academy page says players can revisit earlier stages and continue practising and taking exams after the planned rollout is complete.

Question Published answer
Planned eventual total 72 stages
Stages per monthly release 6
Planned releases 12
Addition day in the general schedule First Monday of the month
Earlier released stages Remain available
Play after all stages are distributed Practice and exams continue

Do not back-apply the first-Monday rule to assert a full-game November 2 delivery before the game launches. The product’s release boundary still matters, and the site separately labels November’s content as planned for that month.

Which previews are actually documented?

The Japanese detailed page previews a November mushroom course, a December garden course, a January Breadbug course and a February bathroom course. These are previews, not a published list of all six courses for every month.

The November preview is labelled メガキノコチャレンジ; the official English campaign calls its matching demo course Mushroom Mash. For the other previews, this guide does not invent final English titles. A visible course preview is also insufficient evidence for a complete collection route.

What is practice for, and what does it not award?

Nintendo describes practising a stage as often as you like before taking the exam. Practice is the place to inspect the task and compare approaches without treating every run as your ordinary exam attempt. The ticket guide covers the additional announced relationship between practices and retry tickets.

Practice does not satisfy an exam-based Bloom gift condition. The exam-day guide explains when qualifying exams begin. Keep a checklist of courses you have actually received and results recorded in the game, rather than creating entries for unreleased stages.

The points tracker helps with published medal-point arithmetic. It cannot infer that you completed a future course or guarantee an earning date.

Which official sources support this guide?

Checked November 3, 2026. Course-specific routes remain outside this source-based overview.
