In this game, the player controls a member of [[The Blue Birds]], following orders from [[Captain Blue Bird]]. The objective of this game is to remain in sync with the other two birds. The captain has two commands:
*{{Nihongo|Peck your beak!|つっつき|tsuttsuki}} calls for the birds to peck three times in quick succession.
*{{Nihongo|Stretch out your neck!|ふんぞり|funzori}} asks them to peck into the ground for a bit before stretching out both their necks and their wings.
*Hit: The Captain looks pleased. On the neck stretches, the Captain will blush
==[[Timing Display]]==
*Barely: None for this rhythm game. A barely counts as a hit
{{Timing
*Miss: The Captain gets angry and angrily huffs
|just=The player pecks or stretches in sync with the others. While pecking, a hit spark with stars appears. After a stretch, the captain blushes while stretching out his own wings.
|miss=The player pecks out of sync, causing less impressive hit sparks to fly out, a "doink" sound to be heard, and a sweat drop to form. While stretching, the player's neck gets a cramp. The captain gets angry and huffs. In the international version of ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', the animation for mistiming a stretch instead has the bird pose awkwardly.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*This is the first game from DS version that haves added "The End" without "To be continued..."'' ''at the end of the minigame. The [[Blue Birds|original]] haves one, but since the [[Blue Birds 2|sequel]] does not appear in RHTB+, the prequel is presented.
*This game is similar to [[Marching Orders]] from ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', in that the player is part of a group that takes orders from a captain who gets angry when they mess up, and that the player's character keeps a diary detailing events from the game.
**Ironically in Samurai Slice, it still says "To be continued..."
*In the middle of the game, [[Captain Blue Bird]] slides out of the player's view, and flashbacks are shown above the birds. While the game itself doesn't elaborate on them, the [[Blue Bird Diary]] serves to explain them.
**In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', this sequence ends with "To be continued." on screen. This is changed to "Fin." in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' as [[Blue Birds 2]] does not appear in that game.
== In Other Languages ==
*In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', [[Captain Blue Bird]] has a yellow music note on his hat, but this detail is missing in the flashbacks during the game and on the [[Try Again]] epilogue, and is absent in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' as a whole.
*This game's music can be played in [[Hi-Hat]], where it is known as "Hi-Hat (Bluebirds)".
*The song for this game appears in ''[[ssbwiki:Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' on the [[ssbwiki:Miiverse|Miiverse]] stage and in ''[[ssbwiki:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where it can play on the stages in the "[[ssbwiki:List of SSBU Music (Other series)|Other]]" category, as well as [[ssbwiki:Battlefield (SSBU)|Battlefield]], [[ssbwiki:Small Battlefield|Small Battlefield]], [[ssbwiki:Big Battlefield (SSBU)|Big Battlefield]] and [[ssbwiki:Final Destination (SSBU)|Final Destination]] since the [[ssbwiki:List of updates (SSBU)#8.1.0 |8.1.0 update]]. This version loops to the beginning when it ends.
