==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* This game has the most variations and graphical changes out of all the games in ''the entire series'', having five different variations- the original, the [[Remix 5 (GBA)|Remix 5]] variant featuring "delinquent" monkeys and a blonde woman, the sequel variant in [[Tap Trial 2]] with [[MAN-K]] and two other variants used in [[Remix 7 (GBA)|Remix 7]] and [[Remix 8 (GBA)|Remix 8]]- one with a Chinese theme and yellow monkeys taking place in the sky, and one with pigs instead of monkeys, taking place inside a kitchen.
*This game has the most versions out of all the games in the ''[[Rhythm Heaven Series]]'', having five different versions in its first appearance alone, and two more introduced in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', which brings the total of variations to 7.
** ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' introduces two more variants to Tap Trial in the [[Songbird Remix]], featuring the girl and the monkeys all dressed up like birds while tap dancing inside a birdcage, as well as in the [[Challenge Train]] mission Wario...Where? which replaces the girl with [[Ashley]] and has [[Red]] riding the Giraffe. This brings the total of variations for this minigame to 7.
*At the very end of the game in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', the girl and the monkeys do a jump tap, followed by a head-bob which resets their animation. They stay in the post-jump pose in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
** There is a small difference between versions -- in the GBA version, the girl and the monkeys do a jump tap, followed by a head-bobing cue which resets their animation. They stay in the pose in the other versions.
*The monkeys appear larger in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', likely to avoid cutting down on details. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' they are resized to better fit the monkeys of those games. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', they are slightly larger.
** The monkeys are noticeably smaller in the Fever and Megamix versions, most likely to make them more consistent with the other monkeys in those games.
*When playing this game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' with the Widescreen Settings set to Standard (4:3), the [[Giraffe]] is moved inward so it would still be visible.
*This game appears in the "[[Wario...Where?]]" [[Challenge Train]] course, where the girl is replaced by [[Ashley]] and her apprentice [[Red]] can be seen riding the [[Giraffe]].
**Ashley makes the generic miss sound when failing on a jump, unlike the [[Girl]] who has unique voice clips.
