As [[Play-Yan]] 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.

|[[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).

|[[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).

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.
