The game features a long, curving stretch of circular platforms. From the furthest platform, a ball spawns and begins to bounce along each of the platforms getting closer and closer to the screen. At the center and closest part of the screen is a yellow pole alongside a red pole. As the ball approaches, it will bounce along the other platforms in rhythm, until finally approaching the yellow and red ones, where the player must simultaneously use the A button and D-Pad respectfully to carry the ball across the end of the curve.

In this game, [[Urakata Aki to Ki]] need the player's help to bounce the balls along the long, curving stretch of circular platforms against a dark blue gradient. From the furthest platform, a ball spawns and begins to bounce along each of the platforms getting closer and closer to the screen. At the center and closest part of the screen is a yellow pole alongside a red pole, each holding platforms. As the ball approaches, it bounces along the other platforms in rhythm, until finally approaching the yellow and red poles, where the player must press Ⓐ then ✚ to bounce the ball across. The balls bounce at varying speeds, and in the latter half of the game, they appear in sets of two or three at a time.

When you're near the end of the game and have one medium and fast ball, bounce the medium ball with a red pole perfectly to collect the star.
* Strangely, the rating screens for this game in [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]] have the [[Sphere Dudes]] smiling no matter what rating you get, while in [[Rhythm Tengoku]], they have different expressions.

==Trivia==
*This game's [[Practice]] is one of the few in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' that doesn't explain the controls to the player via text. It received a How to Play demonstration in the [[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)|arcade]] version, in addition to the original [[Practice]]. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the [[Practice]] was reworked to include an explanation instead.
**The [[Practice]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' doesn't feature any music, instead having the ambient noise of a street.
