(added henohenomoheji trivia)
m (I would've added trivia about what the Korean version changes the face to, but I could not find any info on it. I would presume it's a pre-existing arrangement of hangul characters in the same way this is a face made of hiragana, but I had no luck)

Ninja 2P (忍者 2P?, Ninja 2P) is the 3rd Rhythm Game of Stage 3 (11th overall) in the 2P mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade).

The arrange version, Ninja no Shison 2P, appears in Stage 5 of the 2P mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)

It plays the same as the 1P version, except the two players take turns on each section. This effectively doubles the length of the game.

  • According to the debug menu in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, a short version of this game was intended to appear.[1]
  • In Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus and Rhythm World: The Best Plus, the description changes depending on the which control setting is being used. Normally, the word "タッチ" (Touch) is written in green, but here it is not. In all other versions, the description is rewritten without the controls.
