- Marching Orders Description (Rhythm Heaven Megamix)

Marching Orders (マーチャ), is the 3rd minigame in Rhythm Tengoku and the 67th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, the player controls a rookie, who is undergoing marching training with her squadmates while following their Sarge's orders. The arrange variant, Marcher 2, is unlocked later on in Rhythm Tengoku.

Gameplay
The player controls the rookie squadmate at the end of the line, and must follow the Sarge’s orders. There are four commands that the Sarge will yell. The player must perform these with proper timing along with the other squadmates. Just before the game ends, the squadmates will be moved offscreen, still marching as the game ends.
 * "Attention, March!"
 * "Attention, Halt!"
 * "Left-face, Turn!"
 * "Right-face, Turn!"

Button Mode

 * Left: Left Face
 * Right: Right Face

Simple Tap Mode

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The player does the action at the proper time with the other Cadets.

 * Miss: The Sarge will turn red with rage while steam puffs out of him.

Skill Star
The Skill Star can be collected when you halt the fourth time. (The fourth halt is delayed)

Marcher TempoUpExtra3.png (マーチャ TempoUpExtra3.png) is a variation of this game and the third in the Extra stage in Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade). In this variant, all the squadmates look more feminine than usual, as they are wearing purple skirts and have flowers on the top of their helmets, while their Sarge's uniform is purple. The gameplay is the same, but the tempo is sped up, with a more vibrant synth for orchestration.
