You play as a giant hand writing calligraphy with a surprising amount of strength. The giant hand will write automatically, but you will have to finish the characters with a powerful stroke. When the hand reaches enough power, press A to write. There are six different symbols to write (レ ("Re" Katakana), 、 (a Japanese comma), 力 ("chikara", power), 己 ("onore", oneself), 寸 ("sun", a Japanese kind of measurement), 心 ("kokoro", heart), and the characters つるニハ○○ムし (tsurunihamarumushi) (or つ3ニハ○○ムし in the Korean version) arranged to form a face). Near the end, the game goes faster and [[Mini Chounin|people]] come out dancing.

Power Calligraphy also appears in the 2P mode of ''[[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)]]'' where it is referred to as {{Nihongo|'''Rhythm o Shuji 2P'''|リズムお習字 2P|Rhythm Oshuji 2P}}. It plays the same as the 1P version, except it has a split screen display to accommodate the second player. As a consequence of this design, there is only one column of dancers per screen, and they walk over the paper.
[[File:Rhythm Tengoku Unused Gameplay Counts Power Calligraphy 2.png|thumb]]
*There is an unused gameplay history screen in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' which can be accessed through the debug menu, which lists all the games and things in the [[Medal Corner|Omaku Corner]], the average score the player currently has (using a numbering system from 0 to 1000 which is hidden from the player in normal gameplay), and the amount of plays. Among the games is a string reading "リズムお習字 ２"<ref>https://tcrf.net/Talk:Rhythm_Tengoku_(Game_Boy_Advance)#English_Fan_Translation_Findings</ref>, meaning that a '''Rhythm o Shuji 2/Power Calligraphy 2''' was intended, but ultimately scrapped.
*The "The End" kanji that appears in Japanese version was kept in the international version of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', unlike ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''.
*This is one of many rhythm games to be based upon Japanese culture. Others include [[Samurai Slice (Disambiguation)|the Samurai Slice games]], [[The☆Bon Odori]], [[Drummer Duel]], [[Manzai]], and [[Sumo Brothers]].
*In the Korean version, various things were changed, as seen below.
