The player controls Slugger the batter in yellow on the left side of a baseball field. On the other side of the field, Pitcher, a young girl wearing pink, will throw a baseball at the batter. The baseball will be thrown behind a curtain and will fly out after four beats. The player needs to swing on the fifth beat to hit the ball out of the park.

The entire game revolves around trying to mislead the player. The player merely needs to swing on the fifth beat; however, the game will try to use visuals and sound to make the player swing at the wrong time. This includes making the screen visibly beating it an unhelpful pattern, zooming in, cutting off music, and at one point zooming all the way out of the park. To do good on the game, the player needs to keep rhythm without the game's help.
The entire game revolves around trying to mislead the player. Although they only need to swing on the fifth beat, the game zooms in or out and cuts off the music, and at one point zooming all the way out.
In the end, the curtain goes up to reveal a [[Monkey#Exhibition Match|Monkey]], who is the one catching the ball and throwing it with a delay.

Exhibition Match
OK, Mr. Big Batting Hero, time to show off your skills in an exhibition match. Don't let anything get past you!
The player controls Slugger, the batter in yellow clothing on the right side of the screen. On the other side is Pitcher, a young girl wearing pink clothing. She throws a baseball behind a curtain, and it flies out after four beats. The player needs to swing on the fifth beat to hit the ball.
The entire game revolves around trying to mislead the player. Although they only need to swing on the fifth beat, the game zooms in or out and cuts off the music, and at one point zooming all the way out.
In the end, the curtain goes up to reveal a Monkey, who is the one catching the ball and throwing it with a delay.
Perfect!/Ace!?: The player successfully hits the ball towards the screen, and Slugger laughs with glee. The audience cheers. Pitcher makes a shocked expression. The more hits the player make as the game goes on, the more Slugger shows off, doing things like waving his bat. The pitcher also gets more upset and nervous, even throwing her hat on the ground if the first five throws are hit. Before the last throw, she sweats when the Monkey is shown. Slugger reacts with confusion to the Monkey.
Early!/Late!?: The player simply taps the ball as it falls to the ground, making the audience laugh.
Miss...?: Missing the ball completely makes Slugger embarassed as the ball goes past him, and the crowd boos. Trying to swing too early or too late causes him to spin around, amusing the crowd. Pitcher is happy in either scenario.

Your swing seemed a bit shaky. You had trouble when it got quiet.
Eh. Passable.
You had a nice, solid swing there! You hit it even without audio cues!
Only the best batters get to appear in these exhibition matches, but I hear that at least one got there by just being a big, scary guy that no one wanted to refuse.
When the screen zooms out completely, a city can be seen in the background. This city is a stock photo of New York City from before September 2001, edited to be black and white. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the city is edited further.
