This game is about a [[Ninja]] who protects his [[Lord]] from the enemy onslaught. The player controls the ninja using Ⓐ and ✚ to swing the sword back and forth in time to destroy the arrows shot by the enemy.
This game has the player control a [[Ninja]] who protects his [[Lord]] from an enemy onslaught shooting arrows. The player must swing the sword back and forth following the enemy's pattern to slice the arrows.
 
In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', rather than a [[Practice]], the game has an opening cutscene. It begins with an enemy [[Ninja]] shooting an arrow, cuts to a shot of the arrow flying through the air from the enemy's castle to the [[Lord]]'s castle through the night sky, then cuts to the [[Lord]] taking a walk, interrupted as the arrow sticks itself in the wall in front of him. As he turns around in confusion, the [[Ninja]] drops in to protect him from further arrows. This cutscene can be skipped the same way as a [[Practice]]. ''[[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)]]'' compensates for the lack of a [[Practice]] with a "How to Play" demonstration prior to the opening cutscene.
 
In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the game is given a proper [[Practice]] session, in which the arrows are shot by allied [[Ninja]]s at a wooden dummy with a [[wikipedia:Henohenomoheji|henohenomoheji]] drawn on it, representing the [[Lord]]. Once [[Practice]] is complete, the [[Ninja]] jumps into the air, followed by a fade transition into the opening cutscene. Skipping the [[Practice]] also skips the cutscene.

It plays the same as the 1P version, except the two players take turns on each section. This effectively doubles the length of the game.

*This is the only [[Rhythm Game]] in the entire series to start with a skippable cutscene instead of a [[Practice]].
*This is the only [[Rhythm Game]] in the entire series to have a cutscene.
**The game did, however, get a practice in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', which leads into the cutscene.
**During the opening cutscene, a unique scene showing the arrow flying between the two castles is shown. The castles look identical aside from the horn-like protrusions on the roof which vary in color, the enemy's being red and the [[Lord]]'s being yellow. For some reason, they are both red in [[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)|the arcade version]].
**During this scene, one can also see what might be [[wikipedia:Mount Fuji|Mount Fuji]] in the background.
*This game and [[Ninja no Shison]] are the only games to have their controls changed in [[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)|the arcade version]].
*This game and [[Ninja no Shison]] are the only games to have their controls changed in [[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)|the arcade version]].
*A lot of the visual design of this game was reused in [[Dog Ninja]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', such as similar looking towers to the ones in the cutscene, and a similar prologue: A big yellow moon with grass in foreground, in a dark blue sky.

==Development History==
*In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Sesang: The Best+]]'', the description changes depending on the which control setting is being used. Normally, the word {{Nihongo|"タッチ"|Touch}} is written in {{Color|green|green}}, but here it is not. In all other versions, the description is rewritten without the controls.
{{Main|Ninja Bodyguard/Development}}
*In this game's [[Practice]], the lord is replaced with a wooden dummy with a face drawn on it. The face itself is a [[wikipedia:Henohenomoheji|Henohenomoheji]], an arrangement of Hiragana characters used to represent a generic human face.
