Gameplay is about the same as the non-endless version, but differences appear:
Gameplay is about the same as the non-endless version, but differences appear:
*The player has a life bar which is depleted with every miss. The life bar will gradually refill after being depleted any amount.
*The player has a life bar which is depleted with every miss. If the player is hit when the bar is empty, the game will be over. The life bar will gradually refill after being depleted any amount.
*Once the player has reached the end of the non-endless game, the last three enemies do not appear. Instead, it goes to the last two waves of [[Shoot-'Em-Up 2 (DS)|Shoot-'Em-Up 2]] before ultimately looping to random waves.
*The player receives points for every successful shot in a pattern, going from 100, 200, 500 and 1000. Defeating every enemy in a wave will award the player a "PERFECT BONUS" of 1000 points.
*The player receives points for each hit, which rise as consecutive enemies are defeated.
*The [[Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady]] doesn't appear between waves, instead she congratulates the player for reaching certain scores. Reaching the end of a wave instead causes a warp effect, which changes the background. Notably, the last background is the same as in [[Shoot-'Em-Up 2 (DS)|Shoot-'Em-Up 2]], after which the set of backgrounds repeat, but with a different color.
*Defeating every enemy in a wave will award the player a perfect bonus.
*Once the player has reached the end of the non-endless game, the last three enemies do not appear. Instead, it goes to the last two waves of [[Shoot-'Em-Up 2 (DS)|Shoot-'Em-Up 2]], after which the waves are randomized. The enemies also change shape for the rest of the game, which have stricter timing. Internally, they are known as "enemy_mini".
*The player gets a chance to rest every two waves.
*After clearing 10 waves, the enemies will change shape; these enemies have a stricter timing window than the previous ones.
*Instead of alerting the player to incoming waves, the [[Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady]] will congratulate the player for reaching certain scores.
*After clearing 20 waves, the music becomes quieter. After clearing 30 waves, it becomes muted completely.

*If the player is hit with an empty life bar, the game ends.

*The green aliens that are seen in the background during the Endless version of the game are the [[Space Umpire]]s from [[Spaceball]] without their spaceships.

*In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the aliens are fully grey with a green glow around them and part of the player's spaceship is green, thus making the game look more like the [[Shoot-'Em-Up 2 (DS)|DS version of Shoot-'em-up 2]].

*This is one of the few games to keep the same controls for tapping from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' to ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the others being [[Munchy Monk]], [[Freeze Frame]], [[Lockstep]], and [[Fillbots]].
