There are two separate difficulty settings affecting the rank in Pink Sweets. Difficulty 1 determines the starting base rank as well as the minimum rank cap. After the player has started a run, the rank is then gradually increasing determined by difficulty 2, which is the per frame rank increase. Under normal circumstances the game always starts with a base rank 1,048,576 (100,000 in hex) higher than the minimum rank cap. Starting a game in Special Version always begins at minimum rank.

Notes:
* Rank maxes out at 00,000,000 (000,000 in hex) regardless of the difficulty settings.
* Starting rank for Score Attack mode is the same as on Normal.
* Minimum rank cap for Extended mode is 11,010,048 (A80,000 in hex) on loop 1 and 8,257,536 (7E0,000 in hex) on loop 2 on default difficulty settings.

Both the overall rank and the per frame rank are influenced by certain actions of the player, e.g. firing your Shot or picking up an item. All of the actions that have an effect on rank are listed in the tables below. Even though, an increase in difficulty is actually measured by a decreasing rank counter, the numbers below are listed as if the rank counter would count up. This is simply to make things easier to follow.
