New to the series (bar the arcade version of ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'') is a multiplayer mode, in which two players can play simultaneously. Levels played in multiplayer require players to earn enough points in total to reach the desired rank and clear each stage, with bonus points awarded based on the harmony of the players. These can sometimes result in the rank going from an 'OK' to a 'Superb'.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/somj/norinori/index.html</ref> These levels come with their own set of medals which can unlock multiplayer minigames. There are Props that every character in the game can wear. They are earned by playing Rhythm Games, getting medals and clearing the Perfect attempt. | New to the series (bar the arcade version of ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'') is a multiplayer mode, in which two players can play simultaneously.
