Battle of the Bands

The Battle of the Bands (ライブコンテスト) is a bonus feature in Rhythm Heaven, unlocked after the player has completed Remix 10. It can accessed by tapping the right-most button on the blue ribbon in between the Rhythm Games sections.

On the entry screen, two buttons labeled "Beginners Enroll" (for the ★Basic Course★) and "Pros Enroll" (for the ★Technical Course★) are shown. To enroll, one must first complete all the Guitar Lessons in the ★Basic Course★ or the ★Technical Course★ in the Medal Corner each with at least an A Rank, then the player can enroll in the respective course.

Gameplay
The game takes place at Rock 'n' Roll Hall, where the Rockers are going through the songs from the ★Basic Course★ or ★Technical Course★ of the Guitar Lessons, after which they can place 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th in the results.

In the ★Technical Course★, if the player does really well, they get to play "That One Song" at the end.

Trivia

 * In Rhythm Tengoku, Live serves a similar purpose.
 * The RAPMEN appear on the poster on the entry screen. The same poster also shows the number (555) ROCK-OUT, which can be inputted in the Phone.
 * Battle of the Bands Audience.png camera is situated behind the Rockers, allowing the player to see the audience, which includes almost every character in the whole game, as well as the game's staff hiding in the corners. The missing characters are instead the other "bands" in the competition, being the Pop Singer, the Chorus Kids, DJ Yellow, The Dazzles, The Frogettes and the Tiny Ghosts.
