This game is about launching miniature size rockets into outer space.
{{Nihongo|Launch Party|ロケットゼロ|Rocket Zero}} is the 1st [[Rhythm Game]] of Stage 6 (26th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and the 3rd of [[Star Land]] (65th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
In the game, the player controls a square-shaped "launchpad" as it flies into space. As the launchpad flies, multiple kinds of rockets will pop up onto it. When a rocket appears on the launchpad, a countdown will appear on the launchpad's screen. The player needs to launch the rocket when the countdown reaches 0, launching it into space.

The are four different models of [[Rhythm Rockets]], each with their own type of countdown.
*{{Nihongo|Family Model|「レッツ号」|"Let's-gō"}}: The basic red and white "Trusty" model counts down from 3, one number per beat.
The are four different types of rockets, each with their own type of countdown.
*{{Nihongo|Party Cracker Model|「クラッカー号」|"Cracker-gō"}}: The blue "Cracker" model counts down from 5, at a fast pace.

The countdowns are used to help judge the time to launch, but are also to confuse; the timing for each rocket other than the red ones is the same.
-Blue "Party Hat" Rocket: Counts down from 5, at a fast pace.
-Green "Bell" Rocket: Counts down from 7, at a very fast pace.
Grey "Bowling Pin" Rocket: Counts down from 1, at a very slow pace.

The rockets and timing for the players are the same, requiring them to launch at the same time. However, partway through the game, each player will end up moving far into the background; they still need to launch rockets, so they need to contend with both the other player and stars obscuring their view.

Launch Party
Count down to launch! Or rather, count down to launches. Quite a few of them, in fact.
In the game, the player controls a square-shaped Launchpad as it flies into space. As the launchpad flies, multiple models of Rhythm Rockets pop up onto it. When a rocket appears on the Launchpad, a countdown appears on the Launchpad's screen. The player needs to launch the rocket when the countdown reaches 0, launching it into space. The are four different models of Rhythm Rockets, each with their own type of countdown.
Family Model (「レッツ号」?, "Let's-gō"): The basic red and white "Trusty" model counts down from 3, one number per beat.
Party Cracker Model (「クラッカー号」?, "Cracker-gō"): The blue "Cracker" model counts down from 5, at a fast pace.
Bell Model (「ベル号」?, "Bell-gō"): The green "Belle" model counts down from 7, at a very fast pace.
Bowling Model (「ボウリング号」?, "Bowling-gō"): The grey "Striker" model counts down from 1, at a very slow pace. Launches on the third beat.
The countdowns are used to help judge the time to launch, but are also to confuse; the timing for each rocket other than the red ones is the same.
The game has two launchers, with P1's being blue, and P2's being orange. Both players simply have to launch the same kind of rockets simultaneously. However, partway through the game, each player's launcher moves around in the background as an additional distraction.
During the game, two voices can be heard, with a man, likely a member of the rockets' crew, communicating their findings to a woman at mission control. There are three distinct points with this dialogue:
"Now launching on our mission to find where rhythm comes from!" "Copy that. You guys are already heroes!" "...And we have lift off!"
"Will you look at that! Stars everywhere! Absolutely amazing... Do you copy?" "Copy. But, I can't see them from here. Be sure to take lots of pictures!"
"And we're coming home! With lots of pictures!" "Copy that!"
In certain parts, large Stars appear all around. When they move really quickly, they leave behind a visible trail behind themselves. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, instead of a trail, the stars have a ring of smaller stars around them.
A member of The Clappy Trio and the mothership seen in Airboarder make a cameo appearance in the epilogue.
