i think, when i read the op it sounded like you were doing your best to come up with a scenario that brings more people into stepmania - 5 hour pack marathons i dont think are too friendly

expanding on the best of pack courses idea, it could be more expansive, and have multiple courses to cover the entire pack e.g. a 50 song pack could have like, 5 unique sets of 10, or 2 sets of 17 and a set of 16 or whatever, and give people a choice in either tackling individual sets, ot the full pack set. also tbh, with an order to the songs instead of an arbitrary selection order, you can actually plan your route, how hard you have to go in on certain songs, and when you need to seriously conserve

just rambling atm
