The Level Test involves the contestants performing individually or in teams and getting their individual performance evaluated by the guiders. After each performance, contestants could also evaluate each others' performances by voting. At the end of the Level Test, the contestant with the most votes, regardless of their grade, will be the "all-star" center, dubbed Polaris.

Bold team numbers are teams whose performances were partially or entirely unaired on broadcast.[g]

All-Star Battle

Only eight seats were allotted for contestants receiving an "all-star" rating. Once all seats were filled, subsequent contestants receiving an "all-star" could challenge a current "all-star" contestant for their seat. Results were determined by the other contestants' votes. The winning contestant would keep their "all-star" rating, while the losing contestant would be demoted to "2-star".
