Power Calligraphy

Power Calligraphy (リズムお習字) is the 21st game in Rhythm Tengoku, the 3rd Extra game unlocked with 41 Medals in Rhythm Heaven Fever and the 23rd game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It's about a man who is learning how to write Japanese calligraphy.

Gameplay
You play as a giant hand writing calligraphy with a surprising amount of strength. When the giant hand reaches enough power, press A to write. There are six different symbols to write (レ ("Re" Katakana), 、 (a Japanese comma), 力 (power), 己 (oneself), 寸 (sun, a Japanese kind of measurement), 心 (heart), and the characters つるニハ○○ムし (or つ3ニハ○○ムし in the Korean version) arranged to form a face). Near the end, the game goes faster and people come out dancing.

Button Mode

 * A: Write (with power)

Simple Tap Mode

 * Tap: Write (with power)

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The symbol is successfully written.
 * Barely: If early, the line turns out squiggled. If late, a messy spot of ink is made. If the Calligraphy People are present, they will stumble over. Either way, a sigh will be let out. A barely counts as a miss.
 * In Tengoku, a "doink" sound can be heard when this happens, but it's not in Fever or Megamix.
 * Miss: If missed completely no marks are made, letting out a sigh. If the Calligraphy People are present, they will stumble over.

Skill Star
When you are writing the sun symbol (寸) for the first time, write perfectly to collect the star.

Challenge Train

 * Bringing Topknots Back
 * Soul Of Japan

Rhythm o Shuji 2P
Power Calligraphy also appears in the 2P mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade) where it is referred to as Rhythm o Shuji 2P (リズムお習字 2P). It plays the same as the 1P version, except it has a split screen display to accommodate the second player. As a consequence of this design, there is only one column of dancers per screen, and they walk over the paper.

Trivia

 * There is an unused gameplay history screen in Rhythm Tengoku which can be accessed through the debug menu, which lists all the games and things in the Omaku Corner, the rating the player currently has on them, and the amount of plays. Among the games is a string reading "リズムお習字 ２", meaning that a Rhythm o Shuji 2/Power Calligraphy 2 was intended, but ultimately scrapped.
 * The "The End" kanji that appears in Japanese version was kept in the international version of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, unlike Rhythm Heaven Fever.
 * In the Korean version, various things were changed, as seen below.
