Rhythm Heaven

Rhythm Tengoku (リズム天国てんごく?, Rizumu Tengoku; lit. 'Rhythm Heaven') is the first game in the Rhythm Heaven series released for the Game Boy Advance on August 3, 2006 in Japan. It was the last first-party game developed by Nintendo for the system.

An arcade version, co-developed by Sega, was released a year later.

Menu

The Menu (メニュー?, Menyū) is unlocked after the player clears Rhythm-kan Check the first time on a new file. The options give the player access to Rhythm Games, Rhythm-kan Check, Rhythm Shiryō-Shitsu, Studio and Options.

  • Rhythm Games (リズムゲーム?, Rizumu Gēmu; lit. 'Rhythm Game') goes to the Game Select menu, where all of the unlocked Stages and the Omake Corner are accessed.
  • Rhythm-kan Check (リズム感チェック?, Rizumu-kan Check; lit. 'Sense of Rhythm Check') is a replay of the test given at the start of the game. The player can Pause and Quit this time.
  • Rhythm Shiryō-Shitsu (リズム資料室?, Rizumu Shiryō-Shitsu; lit. 'Rhythm Reference Room') is where the player can read various things, received as a Gift from the Perfect Campaign on certain games.
  • Studio (スタジオ?, Sutajio; lit. 'Studio') meanwhile allows the player to listen to the music they've received also as Gifts, as well as drum to them.
  • Options (オプション?, Opushon; lit. 'Option') is where the player can change their sound preference to "stereo" (for headphones or DS speakers) or "mono" (for GBA speakers), or delete all of their saved game data.

Rhythm Games

Rhythm Games are the main core of Rhythm Tengoku. The core gameplay of all of the Rhythm Games is based on rhythm, with every minigame having its own set of rules. Games are controlled using , and sometimes . The object here is to clear all the games by achieving a decent score. After every five games, a Remix appears that combines those games into one. Clearing the Remix unlocks the next Stage.

Once a "Superb" rank is achieved on a game, a chance to go for a Perfect appears at random times. Other things can also be accessed through the Omake Corner. Everything unlockable in this area can be obtained by earning Medals.

Rhythm Tengoku Taikenban

Screenshot GBA Title Demo.png

Rhythm Tengoku Taikenban (リズム天国てんごく 体験版?, Rhythm Tengoku Trial Version) is a demo version of the game, which was playable in kiosks up until the game's release[citation needed]. It reminds the player of the price of the final game, the price being 3,800 yen (or 33.53$ in USD), in virtually all accessable parts of the game. It consists of a single Stage called Otameshi (おためし?, Trial), which contains three games (Karateka, Rhythm Datsumō and Pachi Pachi Sanninshū) and a shortened version of the Rhythm-kan Check named Rhythm-kan Sokutei.

Although the player can obtain Medals, there is no Omake Corner, and therefore nothing to unlock with them.

おそんでみてネ!

Otameshi

Try it out!
