If the monkeys let out a small cry, it signals to tap once right afterwards. If they make two noises, then it signals to tap twice quickly afterwards. If the monkey yells as all the characters raise their arms, it signals to tap three times quickly afterwards. If the monkey yelps, it signals to tap the moment the girl and monkeys have landed a jump.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* This game has the most variations and graphical changes out of all the games in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', having five different variations in its first appearance.
*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.
**''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' introduces two more variants to Tap Trial, 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]]''.
**In terms of variations, [[Shoot-'em-up 2|Shoot-'Em-Up]] beats it, but by graphical changes in general, this game beats it by one.
*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.
*There is a small difference between versions -- in the GBA version, the girl and the monkeys do a jump tap, followed by a head-bobbing cue which resets their animation. They stay in the pose in the other versions.
*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.
*The monkeys are noticeably smaller in the Fever and Megamix versions, most likely to make them more consistent with the other monkeys in those games.
*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]].
*In ''Fever'' & ''Megamix'', during the jump tap cue, the girl's legs detach from her body.
**Ashley makes the generic miss sound when failing on a jump, unlike the [[Girl]] who has unique voice clips.
*This game appears in the "Wario...Where?" [[Challenge Train]] where the girl is replaced by [[Ashley]] and her apprentice [[Red]] can be seen riding the [[giraffe|Giraffe]].
