Dandori Academy Score, Medals and Points: What Each Number Means
Compare stage score with campaign Dandori Points, use the official medal table, and calculate reward gaps without assuming repeat-exam farming.
Are stage score and Dandori Points the same?
No. Nintendo’s Academy guide describes the stage score as the total from collected objects plus a bonus for remaining time, with a medal awarded for the result. The Bloom help page separately assigns Dandori Points to medal categories. A stage score of 600 is therefore not evidence that you earned 600 campaign points.
| Number you are reading | What it represents |
|---|---|
| Stage score | Performance within the course |
| Medal | Award based on the stage result |
| Dandori Points | Campaign value associated with the medal |
The reviewed sources do not provide all course-specific score cutoffs. A score sufficient for a particular medal in one stage should not be copied into every other stage.
How many points does each medal give?
| Award | Published Dandori Points |
|---|---|
| Participation | 30 |
| Bronze | 50 |
| Silver | 75 |
| Gold | 100 |
| Platinum | 125 |
| Master | 125 |
Master and Platinum both give 125. Master can still represent a higher performance distinction; it does not add another point tier in the official campaign table.
The participation entry is a published award category. It does not prove that quitting any exam early automatically grants 30 points.
How can you calculate a reward gap?
Take the reward target minus your recorded Dandori Points, stopping at zero if the target has already been reached. The points tracker provides a local planning aid using the published values.
For example, two Platinum results, two Gold results and two Silver results add to:
250 + 200 + 150 = 600 points.
Six results at 125 points add to 750. These examples illustrate the table; they are not promises that these medals will be easy, that every demo course grants full-game campaign points, or that repeatedly retaking one exam stacks another full award.
Use the game’s displayed total as the starting point, and read ticket rules separately from point accumulation. We do not infer repeat-exam farming or an earliest reward calendar from a calculator.
Which target should you plan for?
The documented Bloom thresholds are 600, 1,400 and 2,500 points, each with a different reward. The reward comparison covers the map’s future usability and permanent costume-color choice, which can matter more than simply reaching the next number.
Practice and stage releases determine what content is available to work on. For leaderboard use, Nintendo specifically states a Nintendo Switch Online requirement; that should not be confused with the arithmetic in this table.
Which official sources support this guide?
