The player controls a cadet on at the end of the line, and must follow the general's orders. There are four commands: March, Halt, Left Face Here, and Right Face Here. The player must perform these with proper timing. After a while, the cadets will be dragged offscreen, ending the game.
[[File:Screenshot 3DS Marching Orders.png|thumb]]
In this game, a team of [[Squadmates]] is undergoing marching training while following [[Sarge]]'s orders. The player controls the rookie at the end of the line. There are four commands that [[Sarge]] gives:
*{{Nihongo|March!|すすめ！|Susume!}}
*{{Nihongo|Halt!|とまれ！|Tomare!}}
*{{Nihongo|Left!|左！|Hidari!}}
*{{Nihongo|Right!|右！|Migi!}}
Although the voice clips are more complicated, the player must perform these with proper timing along with the other squadmates. Just before the game ends, the squadmates move offscreen, still marching as the game ends.

Marching Orders also appears in the 2P mode of ''[[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)]]'' where it is referred to as {{Nihongo|'''Marching Orders 2P'''|マーチャ 2P|Marcher 2P}}. It plays the same as the 1P version, but with a second player controlling the second [[Cadets|cadet]] in the lineup.
{{Nihongo|Marcher [[File:TempoUpExtra3.png|72px|link=]]|マーチャ [[File:TempoUpExtra3.png|72px|link=]]|Mācha [[File:TempoUpExtra3.png|72px|link=]]}} is the 3rd [[Rhythm Game]] of Extra (51st overall) in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)]]''.
Here, all the [[squadmates]] look more feminine than usual, as they are wearing purple skirts and have flowers on the top of their helmets, while their [[Sarge]]'s uniform is purple. The gameplay is the same, but the tempo is sped up, with a more vibrant synth for orchestration.

It plays the same as the 1P version, but the two players control the two middle [[Squadmates]] in the lineup.

|[[generasia:Tsunku|Tsunku♂]]: This is a very epochal work for "Rhythm Tengoku". We went through a lot of trial and error before we were able to make this game, but after it was made, the applications became more and more extensive, and various games were created. I think it would be fair to say that "Marching Orders" was truly a revolution.
|[[niwanetwork:Masami Yone|Yone]]: Tsunku♂-san's dance lessons were really helpful. We were all amateurs when it came to dancing, and some of us were not very good at it to begin with. So we danced to the rhythm, and then we all did the finishing pose! At the time, there was a staff member whose timing was off no matter how many times they tried. It was like, "Oh, I'm off again!" (Laughs) But it was so much fun to watch them do it, from an artistic point of view. I thought, "Why don't we feature that kind of fun," and created "Marching Orders". I think we were able to express the fun of togetherness that we learned in the dance lessons in this game.
