As [[Play-Yan]] lands on the path, boxes will be seen below him. This is a visual cue to jump. Successfully doing this will open the boxes and make them blossom into various things such as hearts, lollipops, and umbrellas. The more boxes that are open, the more stars will appear in the sky in order to reach the goal. The player will fall off before reaching the goal if more than 40 boxes are left unopened before then.
[[File:Screenshot 3DS Night Walk.png|thumb]]
In this game, the player takes control of [[Play-Yan]] who strolls through the path in the night sky while jumping on magical boxes. As he reaches the set of boxes via balloons, he begins walking on them. Passing though them causes the boxes to open, with the dot in the middle turning into various things depending on the player's timing and the boxes themselves. Jumping off the block with the right timing causes an object to sprout, and a star to grow in the sky. If all of the stars are at their max size at the end of the game, the final box releases a small star which Play-Yan grabs on to.

{{Timing|Ace!=[[Play-Yan]] jumps from the box, sending out a plant with either a heart, lollipop, or umbrella on it.|Early!/Late!=[[Play-Yan]] will jump, but the heart and jump will be lower than a Hit and the letter X ("NG" in the international version of Megamix, possibly standing for "Not Good") will appear.|Miss...=[[Play-Yan]] will walk by the box, sending out a music note. '''This does not actually count as a miss on its own.''' If the player does not jump from a box on the edge of a platform, the character will fall off the platform. If this happens, the game will immediately end, giving you a "Try Again" rating. This can also happen if you don't open enough boxes before the goal, in which the goal will not open, and Play-Yan will walk past it to eventually fall off; this can also give you a "Try Again" rating.}}
{{Timing
|just=[[Play-Yan]] jumps from the box, spawning either a magic flower with a heart blossom, a lollipop, or an umbrella from it. If the sky is filled with stars, the last platform causes [[Play-Yan]] to rise up while holding a small star.
|miss=[[Play-Yan]] jumps from the box, but the object comes out only halfway, with a red ✖ over it. If the sky is filled with stars, the last platform causes [[Play-Yan]] to rise up while holding a small star. In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', if the player jumps on the first possible frame, this causes a magic flower with a heart blossom to come out halfway instead, leading [[Play-Yan]] to jump onto the next platform and inevitably fall off.
|through=[[Play-Yan]] walks over the box, sending out a music note. This does not actually count as a miss on its own. If the player does not jump from a box on the edge of a platform, [[Play-Yan]] will grab the ledge, and fall down as the platforms dissapear. If this happens, the game ends with a [[Try Again]] and score of 0, regardless of how well the player played up to that point. If the player didn't open enough boxes to fill the sky with stars, the final platform doesn't release anything, leading [[Play-Yan]] to jump onto a lone platform with no path to continue, resulting in him falling down.}}

==Trivia==
*This is one of the few games that doesn't feature a practice in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', however it did receive a tutorial in the [[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)|arcade]] version, and a practice in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
*The layout of the steps are randomized on every playthrough.
*The objects that appear out of the boxes are actually instruments of the song. The hearts are the drums, the lollipops are the snares, and the umbrellas are the bass lines.
*This game, [[Quiz Show]], [[Night Walk 2]], and [[Night Walk (Wii)|its counterpart in ''Rhythm Heaven Fever'']] are the only minigames that can be ended prematurely before the song is finished.
*The character in this [[Rhythm Game]] was taken from the GBA accessory "Play-Yan". It was a game for the Gameboy Advance that allowed users to play .mp3 files.
**[[Play-Yan]] also appeared in a minigame on the "Play-Yan" accessory called "JUMP". Here he must jump over crabs and duck beneath [[Biribiriuo]]. The sprites for this minigame were used as the basis for the sprites in the [[Rhythm Game]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', which leaves some unused.

==Commentary==
The following is commentary given on the STAFF'S VOICE section of the booklet included in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu]]''.
|[[generasia:Tsunku|Tsunku♂]]: When I first did this, I thought it was such a stupid idea! When you reach the goal at the end, you just fly away. There's no ending, I thought (laughs). Moreover, you simply press the button in time to the rhythm, which, from our point of view, is the most basic of basics, but there were quite a few people who found it difficult... They are misled by the pictures and make mistakes, so you will probably do better if you try it with your eyes closed. This game has changed the conventional wisdom of music games. There are no enemies, and at the end you just fly away (laughs).

|[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10236295/ Oguro]: I thought Tsunku♂'s music and graphics were exactly what I imagined.
|[[niwanetwork:Masami Yone|Yone]]: There was a digital audio player called "[[niwanetwork:Play-Yan|Play-Yan]]" that could be used with the DS and GBA, and I used that character. It was originally an endless game. It seems like it doesn't end until you fail and fall off. But when we decided to include it as a single game, we had to create an ending, so we decided to make it a flying punchline. It's fine if it flies away (laughs).
