==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
The game features a long, curving stretch of tall poles, each with a circular platform on the top. From the furthest pole, a ball spawns and begins to bounce along each of the poles getting closer and closer to the screen. At the center and closest part of the screen is a lone yellow pole, alongside a lone red pole. As the ball approaches, it will bounce along the other poles in a rhythmic rhythm, until finally approaching the yellow and red, where the player must simultaneously use the D-Pad and A button (respectfully) to carry the ball across the end of the curve. The minigame lasts for just about a minute, with the balls varying in both speed and numbers throughout!

*There are some couple changes for this minigame in the best+.
*This game's [[Practice]] is one of the few in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' that doesn't explain the controls to the player via text. It received a How to Play demonstration in the [[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)|arcade]] version, in addition to the original [[Practice]]. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the [[Practice]] was reworked to include an explanation instead.
**In try again rating, Hopping Dudes are smiling instead of being hurt like they did in Rhythm Tengoku, and some hopping blocks are missing in Tengoku, but this was fixed in the best+
**The [[Practice]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' doesn't feature any music, instead having the ambient noise of a street.
***In OK rating, the yellow dude has an A mark on his back in Tengoku, but in the best+, he doesn't have an A mark on his back anymore. This was probably done for mistake since it was just an error.
==Development History==
****In superb rating, yellow hopping dude has a coffee mug while in Rhythm Tengoku he doesn't have a coffee mug at all.
