The image is a picture of a game of maimai, a popular rhythm game found in arcades. As with many rhythm games, or just games in general, there are usually scoring systems implemented.

This image in particular is taken by mistertfy64 in one of the gamemodes.

It can be seen from this image that there are some red marks on the image. In the image, one red mark covers one Arabic numeral.

For this problem, define an "Arabic numeral" as one digit. Formally, one "Arabic numeral" can be either a 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or a 9.

What is the sum of every Arabic numeral in the image, both uncovered and covered?

Do not include digit separators (e.g., commas and/or dots) in your answer.

(EDIT 2025-08-09 15:04 UTC: I have removed one red marking (from the thousandths place in the last track) in the image because that red marking made the solution to this puzzle reliant on brute force. I apologize for the inconvenience! –mistertfy64)
