School Mode

School Mode is unlocked after beating Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc  for the PS Vita. Based off of the "Island Mode" in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, the game serves as a dating sim, leading the player through a version of the main plot where there are no mutual killings. Without any murders or chapters, the player may freely interact with other characters in events similar to the Free Time mode of the main game.

Plot
And basically, the player starts off with the normal introduction, where Makoto is standing readily in front of Hope's Peak and ready to enroll there. Of course he passes out when he first gets in the school. Makoto wakes up near that really strange door, where the player met all of the students in this actual game. Sayaka is the first to ask is Makoto is alright, which is basically sort of (from what I remember) like when Owada hit him and knocked him out. The Player goes to the gym, with Sayaka, Yamada, Owada, Kyoko, Ogami and Ishimaru, to find Monokuma, and the other students! Monokuma pops up on the stage and explains he's the headmaster, and he is better than NASA itself. Then he brings up the Prologue and chapter 5, which of course Makoto and everyone else are confused about! Monokuma has the player build back-ups for him, and later on the player makes Usami! Monokuma and Usami have an EPIC battle, after Monokuma annouces that he is going to kill Makoto, Usami wins the battle and of course the bunny has to win because she's a freaking bunny! Monokuma hands The Player the button that the player uses to leave and well, everyone's alive! Usami powers down, and the player gets to say goodbye to each character, and the player has some shippy moments, and for some reason the player gets everyone's undergarments... and that's School Mode done!

Trigger Happy Heart
Trigger Happy Heart is a minigame in School mode. It uses mechanics used in the Rapid Fire Debate trial minigame in the main plot. After gaining a "Trip Ticket" from Monokuma and using it to go on a trip with another student, Makoto is given an insight into their mind, and is given the ability to reply to the student's thoughts by shooting a "Affirmation" or "Negation" bullet. Replying to the right thoughts with the right responses will earn a step foreward towards fufilling the student's report card.
