For example, you must win the first race in a cup before you can enter the second race. You are given four lives in which to complete all of the races in a cup. If you run out of lives, you will have to reenter the cup and start over from the first race.

6.2.1 Required Time/Herring/Score
Below the name of the course is a listing of the requirements to beat it. The course may have requirements for maximum time, herring collected, overall score, or any combination of these. To progress to the next course you must beat these requirements. The time listed is the time to beat, the herring listed is the minimum number of herring you must collect, and the score is the minimum score you need to get.
If any of the requirements are listed as 0, then there is no requirement in that category.
6.2.2 Lives
To complete each cup, you only have a set number of lives to beat all of the courses. If you beat a course, you don't lose any lives, and proceed to the next course. If you do not beat the course, then you use up on of your lives (one Tux will disappear from the row) and you can life the same course again. When all your lives are exhausted (no more Tux's in the row) then you can not continue the cup, and must reenter the cup and start over from the first race.
If you quit a course during a race (by pressing Esc) then you lose one life.
