Rhythm Games (リズムゲーム?, Rizumu Gēmu), informally known as Minigames[1], are the main feature of each installment in the Rhythm Heaven Series.
Description
After the player gets past the Introduction, the first rhythm game is available to play. These games can be played with buttons (or sometimes tap controls) to the beat of the music, the timing depending on each game. Some games allow the player to Practice before diving into the real thing, which can be skipped. The player can pause the game and quit at any time. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, they also have the option to start over, instead of quitting and reopening the game all over again.
After reaching the end of the game, the player receives a rank depending on their performance. If the player gets at least an OK, they unlock the next game. If the player gets a Superb, they also earn a Medal, and the game will be eligible for a Perfect Campaign. After the clearing of a game, the player's Flow score is recalculated based on their performance, though it doesn't impact the game in any way[2]. Each game is part a Stage, which usually ends with a Remix containing the games from the respective Stage.
In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, rhythm games are part of the story, where the player and Tibby must clear them in order to restore the flow to each Land and Tower they visit. The player's flow serves as a mark of progress in this game, and is integral to the story[3]. It does not get calculated based on the player's recent performance, instead it simply shows the player's average score across all rhythm games. It also impacts the difficulty in Figure Fighter VS. There are 18 rhythm games available only in the Shop, where they can only be purchased with Flow Balls.
Versions
Some rhythm games have modified versions. While these are not given a catch-all name within the games, for the purposes of this wiki, these are dubbed "versions", derived from internal data in Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Heaven Fever where the graphics files for these are stored in folders labeled "ver0", "ver1" and so on. The internal data for Rhythm Heaven Megamix is used to label the following versions as such:
- Short: Shortened versions of rhythm games found in Honeybee Land, Machine Land, Citrus Land and Barbershop Land in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. These feature completely new music and appearences for the games, and a lower difficulty.
- Long: The most common type, which are found from the start of the game until the Staff Credits in Rhythm Tengoku, Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Heaven Fever. Some internal data may call these "Normal" versions, but most of the time they are left without a label. These games appear in Donut Land, Songbird Land, the Towers in Lush Woods, the Lands in Heaven World and the Shop in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
- Arrange: These games appear after the Staff Credits in Rhythm Tengoku, Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Heaven Fever, and in Mamarin Palace in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. They have an arranged version of the original song, a new appearance, and often a higher difficulty. Most of them in Rhythm Tengoku and some in Rhythm Heaven don't feature unique music or appearances, however.
Lore-wise, each version can be seen as a part of the general story to a rhythm game; for example, most Arrange versions are presented as a sequel to the story shown in the Long version. Meanwhile, the story seen in the Short versions
Other
Some rhythm games also appear as Endless Games. Some games are also available in the Two-Player Menu. Airboarder and Night Walk contain the credits for their respective installment. The gameplay from Rockers and Rockers 2 is used in the Guitar Lessons. Four of the Rhythm Games in Rhythm Tengoku also appear as Extra Games in Rhythm Heaven Fever. None of these games award Medals or Perfects, however.
