Gameplay

File:Bossa nova gameplay.png

In the game, the player takes control of Bossa, bouncing away shapes as they fly onto the screen. Each shape follows a fixed rhythm with no change. The square shapes have two beats with the second beat at half. The circle shapes always start with a single note, then continues with two quick notes before a beat. Occasionally Bossa and Nova may switch positions, swapping roles with the shapes.

Controls

• Ⓐ/Tap: Bump

Timing Display

• Perfect!/Ace!: Bossa bumps/blocks the shape.
• Early!/Late!: The shape is bumped very weakly and falls down.
• Miss...: The shape hits Bossa. If Bossa is on the left side of the cloud, the female voice clears her throat; if on the right, the male voice coughs. If you bounce at the same time as Nova, the two bump heads and Nova yelps. In either case, the voices will briefly get louder and have an angry tone of voice.

Dream Home	Setting Down

Skill Star

The Skill Star appears after the cloud passes by the fishing caveman, in the middle of Bossa bumping the round objects near the end of the game. It is notable for being placed in the middle of a set of actions rather than a transition, as most other Skill Stars in the game.

Two-Player Endless Games

Bossa Nova also features as an Endless Game in the two player section which is unlocked with 8 Duo Medals. Player 1 plays Bossa while Player 2 plays Nova. The game plays exactly like the original rhythm game, though the music plays on an indefinite loop, and the players switch between rhythms. During the endless game, sentences are slowly spelled out above Bossa and Nova which provide descriptions of Bossa and Nova in their primitive life. The full story can be read below:

American Version

Bossa and Nova are one of those wonderful, charming, witty, urbane couples that their neighbors adore. They live in a split-level cave in the trendy part of Big Field with Fruit Trees. 

Bossa's work takes him all over Big Field, and the animals love him. He is especially popular among elderly animals, who appreciate his old-world manners. Nova is a well-known local artist whose paintings adorn all the best nearby caves. 

On this particular day, Bossa is taking a day off to help Nova move the largest painting she has ever done. It's going to a cave near Big Hole with Mastodon Skeleton in It. An art collector has already paid Nova quite a few shiny stones and flint tools for it. 

Working together, the two of them move the large painting into the cave and hang it on the wall. Then they step back and admire Nova's work in its new home. "It definitely makes the cave come alive," says the art collector, "but I'm afraid it just won't do. It clashes with the other pieces. Unless...I can commission some more of your work to replace them?"

Bossa and Nova grin. It may be time for Bossa to quit his job promoting conch-shell perfomances and become Nova's full-time agent...

European Version

Bossa and Nova lived in a house in a giant tree. Bossa got up early to tend to his garden. Bossa’s vegetables were the best in all the land.

Nova made Bossa’s lunch every day before he set off. When Bossa had left, she did her chores and put some flowers in a vase. Bossa took a break by a big tree. He ate lunch and tried to decide what shapes the clouds made in the sky. He shared his food with some young bears that were drawn by the smell of Nova’s delicious food. After lunch, Bossa took a nap in the afternoon sun.

Nova went out. She went shopping after lunch, recently her Monkey Watch had worn out so she went to get the monkeys changed. Then she bought a rainbow-coloured candle that Bossa wanted. Bossa visited the forest’s old animals to make sure they were ok. He gave them his delicious veg and Nova’s bread. Bossa’s visits always made them happy. Nova returned from the shops and made dinner. She made Bossa’s favourite food, pizza. Of course, she used Bossa’s vegetables. Bossa finally called in to see the old owl who had a special box for him. He thanked her and went home.

Nova set the table, dimmed the lights and finished the pizza. Bossa returned to this wonderful sight. Nova gave him a kiss. Bossa put the box on the table and took out a cake. He then took the special candle and placed it on the top. As they gazed into each other’s eyes, Bossa said, Happy Birthday!

Trivia

• In Nintendo's Iwata Asks, it was pointed out that the background voices sounded sexual and that it was a developer's idea to include them after seeing Bossa Nova's characters.
• This game is based off a Latin beat called "Bossa Nova".
• When you switch the English dub to the Japanese one in the American version of Megamix, it still uses the English dub in both versions. This change was clearly reflected in Fever version as well due to their voices being sounded too sexual, but it keeps the Japanese dub in European versions of Fever and Megamix.
