== Trivia ==
The arrange version, [[Super Tap 2P]], appears in Stage 5 in the [[Two-Player Menu|2P mode]] of ''[[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)]]''.
*This game was graphically updated for ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' in an Extra Game known as ''[[Tap Trial]]'', which is unlocked after accumulating 44 ''[[Medals]]''.
** The monkeys are noticeably smaller in the ''Fever'' version, most likely to make them more consistent with the other monkeys in that game.
* This game has the most variations and graphical changes out of all the games in ''the entire series'', having a whopping <u>five</u> different variations- the original, the sequel variant in Super Tap with "SARU" Monkeys, the [http://rhythmheaven.wikia.com/wiki/Remix_5_(GBA) Remix 5 variant] featuring "delinquent" monkeys and a blonde woman, and two other variants used in [http://rhythmheaven.wikia.com/wiki/Remix_7_(GBA) Remix 7] and [http://rhythmheaven.wikia.com/wiki/Remix_8_(GBA) Remix 8]- one with a Chinese theme and yellow monkeys taking place in the sky, and one with '''pigs''' instead of monkeys, taking place inside a kitchen.
** [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]] introduces yet another variation to Tap Trial in the [[Bird Remix]], featuring the woman and the monkeys all dressed up like birds while tap dancing inside a birdcage. This brings the total of variations for this minigame to 6.
* This is one of a few games to have different rating screens of both versions.
*In Superb rating screen of Megamix, Tap Trial Girl's arm changed its position and the giraffe has 2 hairs on its back instead of having multiple like in Fever it did. The reason why this rating screen was a bit changed in Megamix is unknown.

==Trivia==
*This game has the most versions out of all the games in the ''[[Rhythm Heaven Series]]'', having five different versions in its first appearance alone, and two more introduced in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', which brings the total of variations to 7.
*At the very end of the game in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', the girl and the monkeys do a jump tap, followed by a head-bob which resets their animation. They stay in the post-jump pose in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
*The monkeys appear larger in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', likely to avoid cutting down on details. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' they are resized to better fit the monkeys of those games. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', they are slightly larger.
*When playing this game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' with the Widescreen Settings set to Standard (4:3), the [[Giraffe]] is moved inward so it would still be visible.
*This game appears in the "[[Wario...Where?]]" [[Challenge Train]] course, where the girl is replaced by [[Ashley]] and her apprentice [[Red]] can be seen riding the [[Giraffe]].
**Ashley makes the generic miss sound when failing on a jump, unlike the [[Girl]] who has unique voice clips.
