The game features a long, curving stretch of circular platforms. From the furthest platform, a ball spawns and begins to bounce along each of the platforms getting closer and closer to the screen. At the center and closest part of the screen is a yellow pole alongside a red pole, each holding platforms. As the ball approaches, it bounces along the other platforms in rhythm, until finally approaching the yellow and red poles, where the player must press Ⓐ then ✚ to bounce the ball across.

Controls

• Ⓐ/Tap: Bounce Yellow Pole
• ✚/Tap: Bounce Red Pole

Trivia

• Strangely, the epilogues for this game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix have Urakata Aki to Ki always smiling, while in Rhythm Tengoku, they have different expressions.
• This game's Practice is one of the few in Rhythm Tengoku that doesn't explain the controls to the player via text. It received a tutorial in the arcade version, in addition to the original Practice. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the Practice was reworked to include an explanation instead.
  • The Practice in Rhythm Tengoku doesn't feature any music, instead having the ambient noise of a street.
