In all games in the ''[[Rhythm Heaven Series]]'', the player is given a {{Nihongo|Rank|ランク|Ranku}} depending on their performance in a [[Rhythm Game]]. | In all games in the ''[[Rhythm Heaven Series]]'', the player is given a {{Nihongo|Rank|ランク|Ranku}} depending on their performance in a [[Rhythm Game]]. | ||

Upon finishing it, their performance is rated based on specific categories (depending on the game), with each carrying a comment. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', each Rank is tied to a certain score, each giving a varying amount of [[Coins]]. The player may receive the following ranks: | ||
===Try Again=== | ===Try Again=== | ||
If the player did poorly, they receive the {{Nihongo|Try Again|やりなおし|Yarinaoshi}} rank. The [[Rhythm Game]] does not get cleared if this is achieved. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the uncleared [[Rhythm Game]] has a white border around it. | If the player did poorly, they receive the {{Nihongo|Try Again|やりなおし|Yarinaoshi}} rank. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', this is received from 0 to 59 points. The [[Rhythm Game]] does not get cleared if this is achieved. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the uncleared [[Rhythm Game]] has a white border around it. | ||
If the player gets a Try Again, but does well enough in one category to trigger a Superb comment on it, the positive comment is shown, along with a blurb encouraging the player to keep trying. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the positive comment isn't shown, instead the score fills up to 55 through 59 points, the "good parts" are acknowledged, and the player is given 5 points to roll over to OK. Simply getting 55 through 59 points does not guarantee this will happen, however. | |||
If the player gets a Try Again three times in a row on an uncleared game, the [[Barista]] at the [[Café]] offers to help the player by skipping it, which if accepted, gives an OK rank for that game. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', the [[Barista]] also gives the player the option to watch a Demo Video, which shows what the [[Rhythm Game]] in question would be like if played perfectly. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', however, [[Rupert]] instead charges the player a certain amount of [[Coins]] to skip. | |||
===OK=== | ===OK=== | ||
If the player did good enough, they receive the {{Nihongo|OK|平凡|Heibon}} rank. The [[Rhythm Game]] is cleared if this is achieved, unlocking the next game. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', this rank also puts a silver border around the [[Rhythm Game]]. | If the player did good enough, they receive the {{Nihongo|OK|平凡|Heibon}} rank. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', this is received from 60 to 79 points. The [[Rhythm Game]] is cleared if this is achieved, unlocking the next game. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', this rank also puts a silver border around the [[Rhythm Game]]. While each game has negative comments for Try Again and positive comments for Superb, there is only a selection of generic comments for OK. | ||
If the player gets a positive comment, but did not do well enough for Superb, they receive an OK. Notably, this version of the rank has the message "Just OK" (''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''), "...but still just... OK" (''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''), or "but, just... OK" (''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''). | |||
===Superb=== | ===Superb=== | ||
If the player played really well, they receive the {{Nihongo|Superb|ハイレベル| | If the player played really well, they receive the {{Nihongo|Superb|ハイレベル|High Level}} rank. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', this is received from 80 to 100 points. The [[Rhythm Game]] is cleared, the player is given a [[Medal]], and the game is eligible for a [[Perfect Campaign]]. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', this rank also puts a gold border around the [[Rhythm Game]]. In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', a medal icon is also shown. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', getting a Superb on all [[Rhythm Game]]s is commemorated with a [[Badge]]. | ||
===Perfect=== | ===Perfect=== | ||
If the player manages to finish a [[Rhythm Game]] without missing once during the [[Perfect Campaign]], they receive the {{Nihongo|Perfect|パーフェクト|Pāfekuto}} rank. The player receives a [[gift]] for their achievement. In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', this rank is denoted with a pink heart with the letter "P" inside of it, separate of the Superb rank. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', this instead replaces the Superb rank, denoted with a gold border with the word "PERFECT" on it. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', this is denoted with a new medal with a "P" on it, and in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the "P" Medal is used, along with a platinum border. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', getting a Perfect on all [[Rhythm Game]]s is commemorated with a [[Badge]]. | If the player manages to finish a [[Rhythm Game]] without missing once during the [[Perfect Campaign]], they receive the {{Nihongo|Perfect|パーフェクト|Pāfekuto}} rank.

Due to the arcade setting, the ranks are reworked in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)]]''. When the player begins a Stage, they are given three hearts representing how many tries they get. Beginning a [[Rhythm Game]] deducts one heart, and losing them all prompts the player to add credits to continue, or else they are returned to the menu. Getting a Superb rank rewards one heart, and locks the game for the rest of the Stage. The [[Perfect Campaign]] is no longer present, however the player can achieve a Perfect rank as if in a campaign. Aside from the visuals however, it works the same as a Superb. The ranks work the same way otherwise. | Due to the arcade setting, the ranks are reworked in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)]]''.
