{{Nihongo|Lockstep 2|ウラオモテ2|Ura Omote 2}} is the 4th [[Rhythm Game]] of the eight stage (39th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''.
=Gameplay==
In this game, the player plays the [[Stepswitcher]] in the center of the screen. The Stepswitchers will first begin stepping in beat after the clock signal in the background reaches its fourth tick. The player must step consistently in this same beat until one of the step-switchers signals to step in offbeat to the rhythm. The rhythm will keep switching on and offbeat during the game when signaled.
The long version, [[Lockstep]], appears in the sixth stage of ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and in [[Planet Land]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
==Gameplay==

The gameplay of this game is almost exactly the same, but the tempo is slower. The music has a swing rhythm (or "some bounce to it"), altering when the player needs to tap during the offbeats. The person the [[Stepswitchers]] form when fully zoomed out, who resembles [[wikipedia:Johann Sebastian Bach|Johann Sebastian Bach]], returns in this game sporting an afro similar to the ones that [[The Clappy Trio (characters)|The Clappy Trio]] wear.

==Controls==
*Tap: Step in place
{{Controls|T=March}}
==[[Timing Display]]==
==Hit or Miss==
{{Timing
*Hit: The routine continues
|just=The player marches correctly.
*Barely: A small 'tick' sound is heard. The player should also notice that they are out of step with the others. A barely counts as a hit.
|miss=The player marches slightly off, resulting in a "tick" sound. This does not cause the player to fail a [[Perfect Campaign]].
*Miss: The Stepswitchers on either side of the player will slap his head while doing their routine.
|through=The player steps on the wrong beat (or not at all) and gets smacked by the [[Stepswitcher]] next to them.}}
*Like with [[Lockstep]], the game stops tracking the player's performance during the last ten steps, meaning it does not impact the player's score or [[Perfect Campaign]].

Lockstep 2
This time the rhythm has some bounce to it. Experience the bounciness!
The gameplay of this game is almost exactly the same, but the tempo is slower. The music has a swing rhythm (or "some bounce to it"), altering when the player needs to tap during the offbeats. The person the Stepswitchers form when fully zoomed out, who resembles Johann Sebastian Bach, returns in this game sporting an afro similar to the ones that The Clappy Trio wear.
Like with Lockstep, the game stops tracking the player's performance during the last ten steps, meaning it does not impact the player's score or Perfect Campaign.
