Like previous titles, the game features various [[Rhythm Games]] each with their own rules, requiring the player to play in time to the rhythm in order to clear them. Unlike the previous game, ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', which utilized the features of the [[wikipedia:Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' for the [[wikipedia:Wii|Wii]] is limited to button controls. The game is played with the Wii Remote held vertically, with players required to either tap Ⓐ, or "squeeze" Ⓐ+Ⓑ together. At the end of each game, players are [[Rank]]ed on their performance, with at least an "[[OK]]" rank required to clear it and progress onto the next. Each stage of four games culminates in a [[Remix]], which combines all the gameplay elements of the previous games in one.

New to the series (aside from the [[Rhythm Tengoku/Arcade|arcade version of ''Rhythm Tengoku'']]) is the [[Two-Player Menu]], in which two players can play simultaneously. Levels played in multiplayer require players to earn enough points in total to reach the desired [[Rank]] and clear each game, with bonus points awarded based on the harmony of the players. These can sometimes result in the rank going from [[OK]] to [[Superb]]. These games come with [[Duo Medal]]s which unlock [[Two-Player Endless Games]].

Producer Yoshio Sakamoto and Nintendo SPD Group No. 1 were responsible for the programming, graphic design, and some of the music in the game. Collaborator and musician [[wikipedia:Tsunku|Tsunku]] and his music studio TNX created several of the performed vocal songs found throughout the game.
