A couple of questions about Challenge mode

[FALZprophet]

ok i'm new here as you can tell. my brother and i own the original pso version 1 for dc, but we didn't get ver. 2 because of pay-to-play. anyway we purchased this version and have a couple of questions.*sorry if these have been answered many times before*

1)how many times can you complete c-mode and get s-rank and an s-rank weapon?
2)how would you go about doing this?
3)could you explain to me about the challenge mode stages and levels and how the stages are devided up. etc...
4)also could someone provide some links to maps of the areas?
5)what new levels did they addon to the episode 1, 1-p game?
6)also what levels are there in episode 2 beside the vr levels?

thanks in advance for any and all help

1) Play it as much as you like. But only 1 set of prizes per character.

2) S-Rank is obtained by beating all the challenges in under 7 hours - Note that this may change in v2 (online), since there are 2 pages for C-mode stats.

3) Each Challenge is generally one level. (cept for C1, which takes place in forest 1 & 2) For example, C2 is a few Caves 1 stages, C5 is a few Mines 1 stages, etc. Your own level/techs/items are predetermined.

4) Maps are on the site... somewhere. Check the guides section. I just don't feel like opening another windows, finding it...

5) All Episode I stages are the same.

6) The Island stage (Central Control Area, Jungle, Montain, Seaside - All are pretty small/short) and the Seabed (which is pretty big)
