History Main / GameplayGrading

* ''VideoGame/DyztopiaPostHumanRPG'': In the December 2023 update, archdemon battles now include a checklist of objectives, which include winning without consumable items, winning within a time limit specific to each boss, and winning on hard mode. Completing the first two objectives for an archdemon grants a "gold" Steam achievement.

* Any RhythmGame will grade you one way or another. Ones with with a (mostly) letter system include ''VideoGame/{{Beatmania}}'', ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'', ''VideoGame/{{jubeat}}'', ''VideoGame/InTheGroove'', and ''VideoGame/DJMAXTechnika''.

* ''VideoGame/LunarLux'': The player is given a battle rank after each fight based on their performance, though unlike ''VideoGame/MegamanBattleNetwork'', this is based solely on damage taken rather than time. Some sidequests require the player to increase their total amount of S-Ranks, but this can be done against any enemy.

** Some games, such as ''VideoGame/MarioParty5'', do this in story mode.

* ''VideoGame/PizzaTower'': There's no health bar and you're not penalized for getting hit or falling into a BottomlessPit, but your completion is of each level is graded from D, C, B, A, [[RankInflation S, and P]] (and the main character either congratulating you for a job well done or telling you how badly you did), depending on the number of collectibles picked up, secrets founds, "Toppins" rescued, and the length of your combos. Getting P rank requires finding every secret and Toppin on a level, never breaking your combo even once, collecting almost all the pickups, and running a second lap during the timed EscapeSequence at the end. Grading of boss fights is a much simpler calculation; it's based on how much damage you took during the battle.

* Some ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' games do this in story mode.
* ''VideoGame/MarioPartySuperstars'': The performance of the trio who plays against their solo rival in the 1-vs.-3 minigames is graded in each of them depending on how quickly they manage to win or how many of them are left. For obvious reasons, the grading is only done when the trio does win in each minigame, since a victory from the solo player ends the mode instantly.

* Some ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' games grade the player's performance in single-player Grand Prix, ranging from "E" to one, two, or three stars. ''Mario Kart DS'' also grades you for completing the mission stages.

* The 3D ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' game from ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' have this, with the exception of ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld''.
** Some other Sonic Team games that feature this include ''VideoGame/NightsIntoDreams'' and ''VideoGame/BurningRangers''.

* The GBA port of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry1'' does this in Time Attack mode. Finishing the level more quickly gets you a better grade.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}}'' games rank the player as equivalent to a real-world historic figure, from [[AcceptablePoliticalTargets Dan Quayle]] up to Augustus Caesar, based on their points score at the end of the game. Points accrue based on cultural, technological, infrastructural, territorial, and other advancement, but only one potential victory path (i.e.: running out the clock) relies on out-scoring the other civilizations.
