Template:Game-Nav Template:Game-Nav Template:Minigame infobox Lockstep (ウラオモテ^?, Ura Omote) is the 27th Rhythm Game in Rhythm Heaven and the 72nd in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, the player must tap to keep the beat and then make transitions to the offbeats. The arrange variant, Lockstep 2, is unlocked later on in Rhythm Heaven.

Gameplay

File:Lockstep English.png

File:Lockstep 3DS.PNG

In this game, the player plays as a Stepswitcher in the center of the screen. The Stepswitchers will begin stepping in beat after the cowbell clicks. The player must step consistently in this same beat until one of the stepswitchers signals to step in offbeat to the rhythm. The rhythm will keep switching on and offbeat during the game when signaled. To confuse the player, the screen will zoom out, showing many more Stepswitchers.

Trivia

The colors were softened in the international release of Rhythm Heaven, presumably to reduce seizures. The original colors are used in all verions of Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
- The closest to farthest zoom out's sprite is unfinished in the Japanese version, where a column of tiles is missing on the left side while the Stepswitches are marching on the offbeat. This is fixed in the International release.

The person the Stepswitchers form when fully zoomed out appears to be Johann Sebastian Bach, a famous German composer of the 1700's. He had a very distinct hairstyle, although he lacks the curly mustache seen in the game.
As a reference to how the stepswitchers flip (or perhaps just a coincidence), the game number in Rhythm Heaven Megamix is the same as in Rhythm Heaven, but flipped.
In Rhythm Heaven, the game stops tracking the player's performance during the last ten steps, meaning it does not impact the player's score or Perfect Campaign.
- This is no longer true in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, however.
The Stepswitchers make a cameo in Cheer Readers.
This is one of a few games to keep the same controls for tapping from Rhythm Heaven to Rhythm Heaven Megamix when playing in Simple Tap Mode. The others being Fillbots, Shoot-'em-up, Freeze Frame and Munchy Monk.

-*When going for a perfect in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', the game doesn't care about whether or not you got a barely, considering this game is very hard. This also applies to [[Shoot-'em-up 2|Shoot-'Em-Up]], [[Shoot-'Em-Up 2 (DS)|Shoot-'Em-Up 2]], [[Frog Hop]], [[Jumpin' Jazz|Frog Hop 2]] and [[Lockstep 2]]. Unfortunately, this was changed in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' where even a barely will cause you to completely fail a Perfect challenge.

-**In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]],'' the last few seconds when going for a perfect are completely disregarded, noted by how the "P" does not flash when stepping in time and the fact that the player can miss during this time frame without breaking it.
