Power Calligraphy

Power Calligraphy (りずむお習字 Rhythm Penmanship)  is the 21st unlockable game in Rhythm Tengoku. It's about a man who is trying to learn how to write calligraphy. Getting a perfect will unlock the soundtrack of this game. It's also an Extra Game unlocked in Rhythm Heaven Fever.

Gameplay




A giant hand, that you play as, is going to write calligraphy -- with an unnecessary-yet-necessary amount of strength. When the giant hand reaches enough power, press A to write (with power). There are six different symbols to write besides the face. Near the end, the game goes faster and people come out dancing.

This game was remade in Rhythm Heaven Fever as an Extra Game. This can be unlocked for 41 medals. (Remember, medals are earned when getting a superb. You can't get medals for Night Walk or Extra Games.)

The graphics of the game are now updated to be in the same style as Rhythm Heaven Fever's artwork, the text is changed in the mini-game description and practice and the rating screens too. The controls and hits and misses are the same as before.

This game also returns in Rhythm Heaven Megamix with different rating screens texts.
