{{Nihongo|'''Lockstep'''|ウラオモテ|Ura Omote}} is the 27th [[Rhythm Game]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and the 72nd in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. In this game, the player must tap to keep the beat and then make transitions to the offbeats. The arrange variant, [[Lockstep 2]], is unlocked later on in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''.
The arrange version, [[Lockstep 2]], appears in the eighth stage of ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''.

In this game, the player plays as a [[Stepswitchers|Stepswitcher]] in the center of the screen. The Stepswitchers will begin stepping in beat after the cowbell clicks. The player must step consistently in this same beat until one of the Stepswitchers signals to step in offbeat to the rhythm. The rhythm will keep switching on and offbeat during the game when signaled. To confuse the player, the screen will zoom out, showing many more Stepswitchers.

To confuse the player, the screen will zoom out, showing many more [[Stepswitchers]]. When zoomed out completely, the [[Stepswitchers]] form the image of what appears to be [[wikipedia:Johann Sebastian Bach|Johann Sebastian Bach]], a famous German composer of the 1700's, although the real person lacked the curly mustache seen in the game.
 
In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]],'' the game stops tracking the player's performance during the last ten steps, meaning it does not impact the player's score or [[Perfect Campaign]]. This is no longer true in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', however.

==Trivia==
*The colors were softened in the international release of ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', presumably to reduce seizures. The original colors are used in all versions of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
*The [[Stepswitchers]] make a cameo in [[Cheer Readers]].
**The closest to farthest zoom out's sprite is unfinished in the Japanese version, where a column of tiles is missing on the left side while the Stepswitchers are marching on the offbeat. This is fixed in the International release.
*This is one of the few games to keep the same controls from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' to ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' in Simple Tap mode, alongside [[Fillbots 2]]. Excluding the ability to flick despite not needing to, [[Shoot-'em-up 2]], [[Freeze Frame]] and [[Munchy Monk]] can also be included.

*The person the Stepswitchers form when fully zoomed out appears to be [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Sebastian_Bach Johann Sebastian Bach], a famous German composer of the 1700's. He had a very distinct hairstyle, although he lacks the curly mustache seen in the game.
*As a reference to how the stepswitchers flip (or perhaps just a coincidence), the game number in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' is the same as in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', but flipped.
*In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]],'' the game stops tracking the player's performance during the last ten steps, meaning it does not impact the player's score or [[Perfect]] Campaign.
**This is no longer true in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', however.

*This is one of a few games to keep the same controls for tapping from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' to ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' when playing in Simple Tap Mode. The others being [[Fillbots]], [[Shoot-'em-up]], [[Freeze Frame]] and [[Munchy Monk]].
