This is probably already in one of the things here, but how exactly do you unlock these "side stages?"

Most of the side story stages can be unlocked by simply finishing the main story stages. However, to unlock the last side story stages for each kingdom, you have to complete certain requirements in their seventh main story stages.

By the way everyone, I made a list on which characters initially appear on all stages. I might try to make a much more detailed guide here soon....

Shu Story
