Evidently, [[Rhythm-kan Check]] was not the first choice for an introductory rhythm game. {{Nihongo|Metronome|メトロノーム|Metoronōmu}}<ref>[https://youtu.be/MchKxgANz-A Metronome]</ref> can be accessed through [[Sequence Test]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]''. Here, the player must press  as the needle passes over the bird on the top, playing basically the same as the first test in [[Rhythm-kan Check]]. It displays the following text:
Evidently, [[Rhythm-kan Check]] was not the first choice for an introductory rhythm game. A game called {{Nihongo|Metronome|メトロノーム|Metoronōmu}}<ref>[https://youtu.be/MchKxgANz-A Metronome]</ref> seems to have been planned to be the test of rhythm, but was later cut for [[Rhythm-kan Check]].

During the measuring process, a counter appears on the top right, with "HI SCORE" written beneath it, having been repurposed later for [[Mr. Upbeat|Ura Otoko]]. Once it reaches 0, it gives the results, using the same screen as [[Rhythm-kan Check]].
 
Metronome has its own unused sprites as well. The first appears to be a scale, with the left side saying {{Nihongo|おそ|slow}} and the right saying {{Nihongo|速|fast}}. This was likely meant for an accuracy meter, with each bar lighting up to measure how on-beat the player's rhythm was. This concept is similar to the "Early"/"Late" measurement in the [[Rhythm Test]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''.
 
The other two are pictures of a person's face, with text written beside him (reading {{Nihongo|速い|fast}} and {{Nihongo|おそい|slow}}, respectively). Strangely, there also exists copies of the face, but flipped horizontally.


[[Mr. Upbeat|Ura Otoko]] uses the same graphics as Metronome, and as such contains all of its unused sprites. They are still considered separate games, regardless.

During the introduction with [[The Bandleader]] prior to Practice Flicking, he claims that the game is controlled entirely with the Touch Screen<ref>"You see, this game is controlled entirely using the Touch Screen." ~ [[The Bandleader]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''</ref>. This is incorrect, as the player must press the Start button to pause the game, and the {{button|DS|R}} button (or {{button|DS|L}} button if playing in Lefty mode) is required in [[Rockers 2]] and the Technical Courses of the [[Guitar Lessons]] and [[Battle of the Bands]]. In ''[[Rhythm Paradise]]'', this dialogue was corrected<ref>"You see, this game is controlled using the Touch Screen." ~ [[The Bandleader]], ''[[Rhythm Paradise]]'' (English)</ref>.
