==Translated Names==
==Translated Names==
In early versions of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Silver]]'', some [[Rhythm Games]] were given new names rather than being directly translated. As the translation project started prior to the release of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', most of the names differed. Newer versions of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Silver]]'' have since adopted the official names. This list is only of the names that differ from the official localization, including those from before ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' was released.

==Trivia==
*In the original game, all the [[Remix]]es used the same description. [[Toss Boys]] and [[Toss Boys 2]] used the same between them as well. ''[[Rhythm Heaven Silver]]'' keeps the original descriptions for [[Remix 1 (GBA)|Remix 1]] and [[Toss Boys]], and gives new ones for the rest. The descriptions also have "(No practice)" or "(NP)" for games that lack a [[Practice]], which weren't marked in the original.
**Notably, the [[Remix]]es and [[Toss Boys 2]] were given new descriptions in [[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)|the arcade version]] (and various others were modified), however ''[[Rhythm Heaven Silver]]'' does not take any material from that version.
*Some of the translated text includes new details not found in the original, such as [[Rhythm Shiryō-Shitsu#エアーバッター速報 (Air Batter Report)|エアーバッター速報]] (Air Batter Report), renamed to "Inside Spaceball" here, being an interview conducted by "Ryan Williams, Radio Heaven News, Deep Space", rather than being left ambiguous.
**Many Rhythm Game names also take more creative liberties rather than a direct translation. For instance, [[The Snappy Trio]] was titled "Trio on Tour".
**Text may also be sourced from other places than the original script. For example, [[Karate Man Returns!|Karateka]]'s description is based on the one for [[Karate Man Combos!]] instead of the original<ref>"とんでくるモノをAボタンでパンチ！よくあるゲーム？…かもね。" (Punch flying objects with the A Button! A common game? ...Perhaps.) ~ [[Karate Man Returns!|Karateka]] description, ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]''<br>"This is karate training at its most intense! (Or, at its most unorthodox...)" ~ [[Karate Man Returns!|Karate Man]] description, ''[[Rhythm Heaven Silver]]''<br>"This is karate training at its most intense! Punch the flying objects, and go crazy when a whole mess of them come at you!" ~ [[Karate Man Combos!|Karate Man]] description, ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''</ref>.
*The former lead translator, W hat, dislikes almost all of the official names, with the exception of [[Sick Beats]]<ref>[https://gbatemp.net/threads/rhythm-tengoku-translation-rhythm-heaven-silver.330147/page-19 Rhythm Tengoku Translation - Rhythm Heaven Silver | Page 19 | GBAtemp.net - The Independent Video Game Community]</ref>.

Rhythm Heaven

Rhythm Heaven Silver is an unofficial English translation of Rhythm Tengoku. The project was started in 2012 and was restarted in 2019. It can be downloaded as a patch from the GBAtemp thread or on GitHub.

After the release of Beta 10a, a user named "WindowsTiger" also began a Korean translation[1].

At some point, a French translation was released by ShaffySwitcher, and a user known as Firechat, but all physical traces of it seem to be gone except for one video of Trio Clap Clap, which gives us a good idea for how the patch looked like[2].

In 2022, the project's maintainer, ShaffySwitcher, discontinued the project and became a contributor on an alternate localization titled Rhythm Heaven Advance, which can be obtained here.

Translated Names

Rhythm Heaven Silver predates the release of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, and most of the names differed from the official release. Newer versions of Rhythm Heaven Silver have since adopted the official names. This list is only of the names that differ from the official localization, including those from before Rhythm Heaven Megamix was released.

Games in italics had their names adjusted following Rhythm Heaven Megamix's release.

Games with a * only had their names changed in the Game Select.
