| Lockstep |
| This one's all about hitting the beat, flipping it, and then nailing the backbeat. Experience both sides of the rhythm! |
 Rhythm Heaven Megamix
|
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
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.

On the beat? You're a little off. Offbeat? More like just plain "off." Sloppy work on the transitions. |

 |
It's creepy the way the painting's eyes seem to follow you wherever you go, but it's even creepier when you mess up your rhythm and the painting laughs at you. Also, it's a bit embarrassing. |
Skill Star
The Skill Star appears when switching back to the beat near the end of the game.

Trivia
- The colors were softened in the international release of Rhythm Heaven, presumably to reduce seizures. The original colors are used in all versions 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 Stepswitchers are marching on the offbeat. This is fixed in the International release.

- The person the Stepswitchers form when fully zoomed out appears to be Francesco Onofrio Manfredini, an obscure Italian Baroque musician, violinist, and church musician, while the person in the epilogues is 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.
- 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.
