Night Walk

''This article is about the version of Night Walk that appears in Rhythm Tengoku and Rhythm Heaven Megamix. For the version found in Rhythm Heaven Fever, see here.''

Night Walk (ナイトウォーク) is the 20th game in Rhythm Tengoku and the 92nd game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, you are controlling Play-Yan who must stroll through the path in the night sky while jumping on magical boxes. The arrange variant is unlocked later on in Rhythm Tengoku called Night Walk 2.

Gameplay
As Play-Yan lands on the path, boxes will be seen below him. This is a visual cue to jump. Successfully doing this will open the boxes and make them blossom into various things such as hearts, lollipops, and umbrellas. The more boxes that are open, the more stars will appear in the sky in order to reach the goal. The player will fall off before reaching the goal if more than 40 boxes are left unopened before then.

Timing Notes

 * Hit: Play-Yan jumps from the box, sending out a plant with either a heart, lollipop, or umbrella on it.
 * Barely: Play-Yan will jump, but the heart and jump will be lower than a Hit and the text "NG" (X in the international version of Megamix)", possibly standing for "Not Good" will appear. A barely counts as a miss.
 * Miss: Play-Yan will walk by the box, sending out a music note. This does not actually count as a miss on its own. If the player does not jump from a box on the edge of a platform, the character will fall off the platform. If this happens, the game will immediately end, giving you a "Try Again" rating. This can also happen if you don't open enough boxes before the goal, in which the goal will not open, and Play-Yan will walk past it to eventually fall off, this can also give you a "Try Again" rating.

Skill Star
The Skill Star can be collected when you hit the 123rd box perfectly.

Trivia

 * This is one of the few games that doesn't feature a practice in Rhythm Tengoku, however it did receive a tutorial in the arcade version, and a practice in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
 * The layout of the steps are randomized on every playthrough.
 * The objects that appear out of the boxes are actually instruments of the song. The hearts are the drums, the lollipops are the snares, and the umbrellas are the bass lines.
 * Both versions of the game stand out as one of the few games in the series to stop before the end, with Quiz Show being the only other one.
 * The character in this Rhythm Game was taken from the GBA accessory "Play-Yan". It was a game for the Gameboy Advance that allowed users to play .mp3 files.
 * Play-Yan also appeared in a minigame on the "Play-Yan" accessory called "JUMP". Here he must jump over crabs and duck beneath Biribiriuo. The sprites for this minigame were used as the basis for the sprites in the Rhythm Game in Rhythm Tengoku, which leaves some unused.
