==Physical Appearance==
There are four models of the rockets presented in Launch Party. Together, they are launched into space to complete special missions. In the game, their goal is to make contact with an alien life-form.
 
'''Rhythm Rocket #1 Family Model'''
 
'''[[File:Rhythm_Rocket_1.png|thumb|left|55px]]'''
 
This cheerful red-and-white rocket is well balanced and suited for all sorts of uses. It counts down from 3, at the rate of one number per beat and expels blue smoke.
 
'''Rhythm Rocket #2 Party Cracker Model'''
 
'''[[File:Rhythm_Rocket_2.png|thumb|left|35px]]'''
 
This one starts the party with a fun sound and has no confetti to clean up. It has blue-and-white stripes and it's shaped like a party hat. It counts down from 5 at a fast pace and expels pink smoke.
 
'''Rhythm Rocket #3 Bell Model'''
 
'''[[File:Rhythm_Rocket_3.png|thumb|left|42px]]'''
 
This lovely white rocket with a green stripe launches with a clear chime. It's said to be ideal for weddings and other celebrations. It counts down from 7, at a very fast pace and expels yellow smoke. It's the fastest rocket out of all the other three models.
 
'''Rhythm Rocket #4 Bowling Model'''
 
'''[[File:Rhythm_Rocket_4.png|thumb|left|46px]]'''
 
For the frustrated bowler in all of us, this exuberant white rocket with gray legs delivers the satisfying sound of a perfect strike! It counts down from 1 at a very slow pace and expels gray smoke. It's the slowest rocket of the bunch.

Rhythm Rockets (ロケットゼロ?, Rocket Zero) are miniature rockets appearing in Launch Party in Rhythm Heaven Fever and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Story

Many Rhythm Rockets get launched during Launch Party as part of a mission to "find where rhythm comes from." The crew on the rockets find the abundance of stars to be "absolutely amazing," and they proceed to take lots of pictures. In the epilogue, it is shown that The Clappy Trio are part of the crew. In the Superb epilogue in particular, they appear to make contact with the mothership seen in Airboarder. In Remix 6, a launchpad launching Rhythm Rockets appears to be an attraction at the amusement park the Remix takes place in. Eventually, the launchpad ran out of power, and as such, completed its mission. The people wait for the rockets, carrying their hopes and dreams, to return to Earth and bring new life to it[1]. People see the launchpad without rockets to be as boring as a blackboard with nothing written on it[2].

Rhythm Rockets also appear to be sold to the general public. Every year, new models are developed, with the current year's four models being depicted throughout the game[3].

The Family Model (「レッツ号」?, "Let's-gō"), known as the "Trusty" model in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise, counts down from 3, one number per beat. It is easy to launch and is suited to all kinds of uses.

The Party Cracker Model (「クラッカー号」?, "Cracker-gō"), known as the "Cracker" model in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise, counts down from 5, at a fast pace. It makes a loud bang at launch and is meant to impress at parties. It doesn't leave confetti to clean up, so it is considered environment-friendly.

The Bell Model (「ベル号」?, "Bell-gō"), known as the "Belle" model in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise, counts down from 7, at a very fast pace. It launches with a clear chime. It is suited for weddings and other celebrations.

The Bowling Model (「ボウリング号」?, "Bowling-gō"), known as the "Stricker" model in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise, counts down from 1, at a very slow pace. It launches with the satisfying sound of a perfect strike.
