Gameplay
In this game, you're a camera man named T.J. Snapper taking photos of various race cars as they cross the finish line of a race track.Most of the time, they'll be small cars, and will give an audio cue of when they're about to cross the line with an obvious "vroom" sound.

There's also a very fast long car where the audio cue for that will come as it's passing on the other side of the track.

Controls

 * Tap: Take picture

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The photographer will lower the camera and smile at his success. All pictures show the racers in the middle. A "pr-r-RING" like noise will sound and depending on the version you are playing, either a green thumbs up will appear or a circle will appear.
 * Barely: The photographer will lower the camera and tilt his head to the side and a tear will well up in one eye. At least one picture, while the others are "Spot on!", will show only the front half or the back half of the racer. A "DEE-DOO-DOP" like noise will sound and depending on what version you are playing, either a yellow thumbs up pointing right will appear or a triangle will appear.
 * Miss: The photographer will lower the camera and streams of tears will pour from his face. At least one picture will show up as the race track only. A "BZZZT" noise will sound and depending on what version you are playing, either a red thumbs down will appear or a X will appear.

Trivia

 * Sometimes, when taking a good picture of the racers, characters from Rhythm Tengoku will be seen in the pictures such as Stealth Rat, White Apparition, and ninjas (as seen in the photo).
 * In addition, some characters from Rhythm Tengoku are part of the forming crowd in the background such as Rap Men, The Clappy Trio, the space dancers, and the tap dancing monkeys.
 * The game starts with a text "Rhythm Kart" sliding down. This can be a reference to Mario Kart, a racing spinoff game.
 * In the European version, the symbols were changed to hand signals; the cross was replaced by a green "thumbs down" gesture, the triangle was replaced by a yellow "fist" gesture and the circle was replaced by a green "thumbs up" gesture.
 * That change was also done to all English versions of Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
 * In the tutorial, you practice taking a picture of a single yellow car. In the game, there are no single yellow cars
