In this rhythm game, the player controls both Tram and Pauline's transformations. While Tram and Pauline bounce on their trampolines, they will crouch down for a high jump at certain points. The player must press the corresponding button at the very peak of this jump to transform them successfully. The player will transform the pair alternately or at the same time.

Controls

• D-Pad: Transform Tram
• A button: Transform Pauline

• Barely: The character will only partially transform, frowning. It will have a human figure with a fox muzzle, fox ears, and a short tail. A barely counts as a miss.

Trivia

• This minigame is notably based on the kitsune of Japanese mythology. Kitsunes were foxes who could shapeshift to their will.
• Tram and Pauline's names are a pun on toranporin, the Japanese word for trampoline. Because of this, the English translation project refers to the minigame as "Tram and Pauline".
• Tram makes a two cameos in later games, one in Rhythm Heaven and one in Rhythm Heaven Fever.
  • In Rhythm Heaven, Tram appears in the rating screens for Remix 2. Here, he is a surfer who's skill varies depending on the player's performance.
  • In Rhythm Heaven Fever and Rhythm Heaven Megamix, if the player gets a try, ok or superb rank on Figure Fighter 2, Tram can be seen in the rating screen behind the Muscle Doll.
