In this game, the player controls the fourth Tall Tapper in line (far right), with their face being visible near the bottom-left of the screen. When the game starts, the members of the troupe will start stepping at a steady beat. The player needs to step along with them. At certain parts of the game, a voice will say "Rea-dy!", and the tappers get on their toes and continue tapping. When this happens, the speed of tapping increases. After a while, a voice will say "Tap, tap, tap!", requiring the player to tap on those beats, then go back the the original beat.
In this game, the player controls one of [[The Tall Tappers]]. The tappers' legs occupy most of the screen, while their faces are seen in the bottom left. The player must maintain a steady beat of tap dancing with the rest of the tappers.
At certain parts of the game, a voice says "Rea-dy!" indicating a rhythm change. The player must shift to a 4:3 polymeter rhythm. This continues until the voice says "Tap, tap, tap!", signaling the rhythm is going to change back. The final "tap" is always on the next available beat in the original groove, regardless of where the previous two land, meaning the distance between the second and third tap may vary.

*Hit: The Tall Tappers continue their routine. After the female voice's complex tap cues, the Tall Tappers will gleefully yell out "Okay!". Additionally, halfway through the game the Tall Tapper on the left of the group will bring out a confetti popper which launches confetti. During the last few moments of the rhythm game, the Tall Tappers will wave their arms up with their hands in an OK sign.

The game has the first player on the far right, wearing blue shoes, and the second player on the left, wearing orange shoes. Both players have to tap along with the other two tappers. There is no main differences from the main game's pattern, other that spotlights at certain times to obscure view.

Tap Troupe
With taps on their shoes and boxes on their heads, this quartet dreams of stardom. We understand the taps, but the head boxes...?
In this game, the player controls one of The Tall Tappers. The tappers' legs occupy most of the screen, while their faces are seen in the bottom left. The player must maintain a steady beat of tap dancing with the rest of the tappers.
At certain parts of the game, a voice says "Rea-dy!" indicating a rhythm change. The player must shift to a 4:3 polymeter rhythm. This continues until the voice says "Tap, tap, tap!", signaling the rhythm is going to change back. The final "tap" is always on the next available beat in the original groove, regardless of where the previous two land, meaning the distance between the second and third tap may vary.
Perfect!/Ace!?: The player taps in time with the others. When changing back to the regular rhythm, the player taps extra hard, and The Tall Tappers gleefully say "OK!". Halfway through the game, the tapper on the left also brings out a confetti popper, and a little after tappers wave their arms up with their hands in an OK sign.
Early!/Late!?: The player taps off the beat, making a "tick" sound. The others look annoyed at the player. During Practice, they glance over with embarrassed looks on their faces instead.
Miss...?: The player taps at the wrong time or doesn't tap at all. The others blow a raspberry and make a disapproving face at the player. During Practice, they glance over with embarrassed looks on their faces instead.
