The player controls a mysterious little guy named [[Mr. Upbeat (character)|Mr. Upbeat]], who must step over a metronome needle to the offbeat of the song. As the game starts, a voice counts off a rhythm for eight beats. After this, the needle begins to swing at [[Mr. Upbeat (character)|Mr. Upbeat]]. To dodge it, the player needs to hop over the needle, which happens on the offbeats. To assist the player, the light on Mr. Upbeat's head flashes on the offbeat. After 16 steps, the needle stops. The player receives a point, [[Mr. Upbeat (character)|Mr. Upbeat]] comments on the player's ability, and the game repeats at a higher tempo.

In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', the game was given a [[Practice]] section, in which the player must hop over the needle for 16 steps, and the game fades out and fades back in if they miss. They only need to do one set to clear it. In the real game, each step gives a point instead of one point for every 16 steps. In addition, the tempo change now happens every 32 steps rather than every 16.

{{Timing

|just=Mr. Upbeat hops over the needle.

|miss=N/A

|through=Mr. Upbeat trips on the needle, and the game is over. Depending on which side he trips from, he either falls on his bottom or spreads his legs. Usually Mr. Upbeat slumps in defeat, but if the player got a High Score, he pumps his fists at the achievement instead.}}

*This is the only [[Endless Game]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' to acknowledge when the player achieves a High Score.

**The High Score jingle in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' is completely different, now being an altered version of the Game Over jingle.

*Mr. Upbeat does not appear in ''[[Minna no Rhythm Tengoku]]''. The game [[Manzai]] was substituted with Mr. Upbeat due to the Japanese-dialogue focused nature of the game<ref>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/wii/rhythmheavenfever/0/3/ Iwata Asks : Rhythm Heaven Fever : Music Spinning in Your Head]</ref>.

**The High Score jingle takes the place of [[Manzai]]'s theme in the [[Music Corner]].

*Inputting the code word {{Nihongo|POSITIVE}} in [[Police Call]] gives the player a tip about there being a code word in this game (the word is {{Nihongo|MATCH}}: every 130 steps Mr. Upbeat's antenna grows larger and displays the word one letter at a time, then returns to normal). The code word can be put into [[Police Call]] for an easter egg.

*The UK English spelling of {{Nihongo|Mr Upbeat}} in ''[[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise]]'' makes this game and the [[Remix#Rhythm Heaven Fever|Remix]]es the only games whose names differ across the two English versions.
