As [[Play-Yan]] lands on the path, boxes will be seen below them. This is a visual cue to jump. Successfully doing this will open the boxes and make them blossom into various things such as hearts, lollipops, and umbrellas. The player will fall off before reaching the goal if enough boxes are left unopened before then.

In this game, the player takes control of [[Play-Yan]] who strolls through the path in the night sky while jumping on magical boxes. As he reaches the set of boxes via balloons, he begins walking on them. Passing though them causes the boxes to open, with the dot in the middle turning into various things depending on the player's timing and the boxes themselves. Jumping off the block with the right timing causes an object to sprout, and a star to grow in the sky. If all of the stars are at their max size at the end of the game, the final box releases a small star which Play-Yan grabs on to.

{{Timing
*Hit: [[Play-Yan]] jumps from the box, sending out a plant with either a heart, lollipop, or umbrella on it.
|just=[[Play-Yan]] jumps from the box, spawning either a magic flower with a heart blossom, a lollipop, or an umbrella from it. If the sky is filled with stars, the last platform causes [[Play-Yan]] to rise up while holding a small star.
*Barely: [[Play-Yan]] will jump, but the heart and jump will be lower then a Hit and the text "NG", possibly standing for "Not Good" will appear. A Barely counts as a Miss.
|miss=[[Play-Yan]] jumps from the box, but the object comes out only halfway, with a red ✖ over it. If the sky is filled with stars, the last platform causes [[Play-Yan]] to rise up while holding a small star. In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', if the player jumps on the first possible frame, this causes a magic flower with a heart blossom to come out halfway instead, leading [[Play-Yan]] to jump onto the next platform and inevitably fall off.
*Miss: [[Play-Yan]] will walk by the box, sending out a music note.
|through=[[Play-Yan]] walks over the box, sending out a music note. This does not actually count as a miss on its own. If the player does not jump from a box on the edge of a platform, [[Play-Yan]] will grab the ledge, and fall down as the platforms dissapear. If this happens, the game ends with a [[Try Again]] and score of 0, regardless of how well the player played up to that point. If the player didn't open enough boxes to fill the sky with stars, the final platform doesn't release anything, leading [[Play-Yan]] to jump onto a lone platform with no path to continue, resulting in him falling down.}}
In addition, a unique "instant-fail" possibility can happen. If the player does not jump from a box on the edge of a platform, the character will fall off the platform. If this happens, the game will immediately end, with the results displaying "You fell in a hole.", and giving you a "Try Again" rating. This can also happen if you don't open enough boxes before the goal, in which the goal will not open, and Play-Yan will walk past it to eventually fall off.

[[File:Night_Walk_Fever.png|thumb|Night Walk in Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'''Night Walk''' is the game that is played during the credits of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''. It was also made available to play after viewing the credits and cast. The character jumping is [[Marshal]], along with [[Miss Ribbon]] and [[Cam]] as the player progresses farther. Instead of the character jumping to grab a bouquet of balloons at the end, the scenery changes to a daytime stroll and leads the characters to the [[Cafe]].
==Controls==
*A: Jump
*Hold A + B: Roll
*Release A + B: Pop Up
==Timing Notes==
*Hit: Marshal will jump from the box, making it open and have a large heart fly out of it. For rolling spaces, Marshall will successfully hit both boxes and spring up from the second, as fireworks appear in the background.
*Barely: Marshal will jump from the box, but only a small heart pops out, with the word "MISS" appearing under it.
*Miss: Marshal will walk past the boxes, making them release a small music note. Jumping when there are no boxes results in Marshal only hopping slightly.
In addition to the above, the game has a unique "instant-fail" possibility. If the player fails to jump from on a box at the edge of the platform, Marshal will not jump to the platform, instead falling off the current platform after trying to hang on the edge, with Miss Ribbon and Cam looking down at where you fell. Should this happen, the game will immediately end, cutting to the cast roll. After that, the results screen will simply say "You fell down a pit", and give you a "Try Again" rank.
== Rating Notes ==
* [[Try Again]]: ''"Oh..."''
* [[OK]]: ''"With teamwork, we can do anything!"''
* [[Superb]]: ''"Let's see what's over the rainbow!"''

{| style="width:100%;"
*The music for this rhythm game was taken from the GBA accessory the Play-Yan.
! align="center" style="width:50%;"|Japanese
*[[Play-Yan]]'s design in this game appears to have influence on later characters. (i.e. Marshal, Miss Ribbon, Cam, [[The Chorus Kids]], etc.)
! align="center" style="width:50%;"|Translation
* The [[Rhythm Tengoku|''Rhythm Tengoku'']] website calls the night walk character [[Play-Yan]]. Play-Yan was a game for the Gameboy Advance that allowed you to play music.
|-
*[[Play-Yan]] from the original game appears in [[The Dazzles]] from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', hanging onto one of the stars that appear after certain correct poses. They also appear in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', being in the books on one of the "OK, it's on!" cheers from the [[Cheer Readers]] sections of [[Remix 7 (Wii)|Remix 7]].
*Both versions of the game stand out as one of the few games in the franchise to have the ability to fail instantly before judging your performance, with [[Quiz Show]] being the only other one.
|[[generasia:Tsunku|Tsunku♂]]: When I first did this, I thought it was such a stupid idea! When you reach the goal at the end, you just fly away. There's no ending, I thought (laughs). Moreover, you simply press the button in time to the rhythm, which, from our point of view, is the most basic of basics, but there were quite a few people who found it difficult... They are misled by the pictures and make mistakes, so you will probably do better if you try it with your eyes closed. This game has changed the conventional wisdom of music games. There are no enemies, and at the end you just fly away (laughs).
*In ''Fever'', the [[Huebirds of Happiness]] from [[Flock Step]] fly by in a large group later in the game. The [[Barista]] also makes an appearance near the end.
|-
*On the remake, depending on what TV or emulator you have, [[Cam]] might be unseeable until the end of the game.

* Night Walk makes a cameo appearance in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] Sound software as a background picture. [[Play-Yan|Play-Yan's]] climbing speed depends on how the speed of the song is adjusted.

* The layout of the steps are randomized in different playthroughs of Night Walk in [[Rhythm Tengoku|''Rhythm Tengoku'']]

|[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10236295/ Oguro]: I thought Tsunku♂'s music and graphics were exactly what I imagined.
|[[niwanetwork:Masami Yone|Yone]]: There was a digital audio player called "[[niwanetwork:Play-Yan|Play-Yan]]" that could be used with the DS and GBA, and I used that character. It was originally an endless game. It seems like it doesn't end until you fail and fall off. But when we decided to include it as a single game, we had to create an ending, so we decided to make it a flying punchline. It's fine if it flies away (laughs).

==Trivia==
*This is one of the few games that doesn't feature a [[Practice]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', however it did receive a tutorial in the [[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)|arcade]] version, and a practice in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
*The layout of the steps in the middle of the game is randomized.
*The objects that appear out of the boxes act as instruments in the song. The heart flowers add drums, the lollipops being snares, and the umbrellas - cymbal accents.
**Interestingly, the final platform which releases a star also plays the cymbal accent in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', but no sound effect is played at all in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
*In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', if the player jumps from the platform and releases the star, then immediately attempts to input a jump again within a small window, it is possible to cause the star to disappear, resulting in [[Play-Yan]] rising up without holding anything.
*This game, [[Quiz Show]], [[Night Walk 2]], and [[Night Walk (Wii)|Night Walk]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', are the only [[Rhythm Games]] that can be ended prematurely before the song is finished.
In this game, the player takes control of Play-Yan who strolls through the path in the night sky while jumping on magical boxes. As he reaches the set of boxes via balloons, he begins walking on them. Passing though them causes the boxes to open, with the dot in the middle turning into various things depending on the player's timing and the boxes themselves. Jumping off the block with the right timing causes an object to sprout, and a star to grow in the sky. If all of the stars are at their max size at the end of the game, the final box releases a small star which Play-Yan grabs on to.
Perfect!/Ace!?: Play-Yan jumps from the box, spawning either a magic flower with a heart blossom, a lollipop, or an umbrella from it. If the sky is filled with stars, the last platform causes Play-Yan to rise up while holding a small star.
Early!/Late!?: Play-Yan jumps from the box, but the object comes out only halfway, with a red ✖ over it. If the sky is filled with stars, the last platform causes Play-Yan to rise up while holding a small star. In Rhythm Tengoku, if the player jumps on the first possible frame, this causes a magic flower with a heart blossom to come out halfway instead, leading Play-Yan to jump onto the next platform and inevitably fall off.
Miss...?: Play-Yan walks over the box, sending out a music note. This does not actually count as a miss on its own. If the player does not jump from a box on the edge of a platform, Play-Yan will grab the ledge, and fall down as the platforms dissapear. If this happens, the game ends with a Try Again and score of 0, regardless of how well the player played up to that point. If the player didn't open enough boxes to fill the sky with stars, the final platform doesn't release anything, leading Play-Yan to jump onto a lone platform with no path to continue, resulting in him falling down.
