Tram to Poline

"Tram and Pauline are acrobatic foxes! Quick, their show is about to start!"

- Tram & Pauline Description

Toran and Porin (トランとポリン toran to porin; nicknamed Tram & Poline by fans), is the sixteenth rhythm game in Rhythm Tengoku. Two performers, Toran (the boy) and Porin (the girl), are performing a magic transformation act while they jump on trampolines.

Gameplay
In this rhythm game, the player controls both Toran and Porin's transformations. While Tram and Porin bounce on their trampolines, they will crouch down for a high jump at certain points. The player must press the corresponding button at the very peak of this jump to transform them successfully. The player will transform the pair alternately or at the same time.

Trivia

 * This minigame is notably based on the kitsune of Japanese mythology. Kitsunes were foxes who could shapeshift to their will.
 * Toran and Porin's names are a pun on toranporin, the Japanese word for trampoline. Because of this, the English translation project refers to the minigame as "Tram and Pauline".
 * Toran makes a two cameos in later games, one in Rhythm Heaven and one in Rhythm Heaven Fever.
 * In Rhythm Heaven, Toran appears in the rating screens for Remix 2. Here, he is a surfer who's skill varies depending on the player's performance.
 * In Rhythm Heaven Fever, if the player gets a superb rank on Figure Fighter 2, Toran can be seen in the rating screen behind the Muscle Doll.
