Tap Trial

Tap Dance (タップダンス) is the twenty-ninth game in Rhythm Tengoku. The game is about a girl who is learning to tap dance like the monkeys. A sequel is unlocked later on called Turbo Tap Trial.

Gameplay
The girl (the character played in this game) dances simultaneously with the two monkeys and must follow their signals. If the monkeys let out a small cry, it signals to tap once right afterwards. If they make two noises, then it signals to tap twice quickly afterwards. If the monkey yells as all the characters raise their arms, it signals to tap three times quickly afterwards. If the monkey yelps, it signals to tap the moment the girl and monkeys have landed a jump.

Controls

 * A: Tap

Hit or Miss

 * Hit: The girl taps on the beat.
 * Barely: A barely counts as a hit.
 * Miss: The girl taps off beat, causing the Giraffe to huff sadly. If missed on where the monkeys yelp, the girl will incorrectly land.

Rating Notes

 * Try Again: "Disappointing..."
 * Ok: "Pretty good...for a human."
 * Superb: "It feels good to belong!"

Trivia

 * This game was graphically updated for Rhythm Heaven Fever in an Extra Game known as Tap Trial, which is unlocked after accumulating 44 Medals.
 * The monkeys are noticeably smaller in the Fever version, most likely to make them more consistent with the other monkeys in that game.
 * This game has the most graphical changes out of all the games in Rhythm Tengoku, having five different variations- the original, the sequel variant in Super Tap with "SARU" Monkeys, the Remix 5 variant featuring "delinquent" monkeys and a blonde woman, and two other variants used in Remix 7 and Remix 8- one with a Chinese theme and yellow monkeys, and one with pigs instead of monkeys.
