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...

|[[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).

*This game, [[Quiz Show]], [[Night Walk 2]], and [[Night Walk (Wii)|Night Walk]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', are the only [[Rhythm Games]] that can be ended prematurely before the song is finished.
*This [[Rhythm Game]] is partially inspired by the [[wikipedia:Play-Yan|Play-Yan]], a media player that would allow a Game Boy Advance or a Game Boy Micro to play MP3s and videos via an SD card. The character [[Play-Yan]] appeared as the main mascot on the selection menu, as well as being playable in a minigame called "JUMP". The sprites for this minigame were used as the basis for the ones in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', which leaves some unused.
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.
Perfect!/Ace!?: 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.
Early!/Late!?: 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.
Miss...?: 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.
