The game plays exactly like the original rhythm game, though the music plays on an indefinite loop, and the players switch between rhythms. During the endless game, sentences are slowly spelled out above Bossa and Nova which provide descriptions of Bossa and Nova in their primitive life. The full story can be read below:
 
American Version:
 
<span style="color:rgb(103,103,103);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px;">Bossa and Nova are one of those wonderful, charming, witty, urbane couples that their neighbors adore. They live in a split-level cave in the trendy part of Big Field with Fruit Trees. </span>
 
<span style="color:rgb(103,103,103);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px;">Bossa's work takes him all over Big Field, and the animals love him. He is especially popular among elderly animals, who appreciate his old-world manners. Nova is a well-known local artist whose paintings adorn all the best nearby caves. </span>
 
<span style="color:rgb(103,103,103);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px;">On this particular day, Bossa is taking a day off to help Nova move the largest painting she has ever done. It's going to a cave near Big Hole with Mastodon Skeleton in It. An art collector has already paid Nova quite a few shiny stones and flint tools for it. </span>
 
<span style="color:rgb(103,103,103);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px;">Working together, the two of them move the large painting into the cave and hang it on the wall. Then they step back and admire Nova's work in its new home. "It definitely makes the cave come alive," says the art collector, "but I'm afraid it just won't do. It clashes with the other pieces. Unless...I can comission some more of your work to replace them?"</span>
 
<span style="color:rgb(103,103,103);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px;">Bossa and Nova grin. It may be time for Bossa to quit his job promoting conch-shell perfomances and become Nova's full-time agent...</span>
 
European Version:
 
<span style="font-family:Arial;color:gray">Bossa and Nova lived in a house in a giant tree. Bossa got up early to tend to his garden. Bossa’s vegetables were the best in all the land. </span>

When Bossa had left, she did her chores and put some flowers in a vase. Bossa took a break by a big tree. He ate lunch and tried to decide what shapes the clouds made in the sky.

She made Bossa’s favourite food, pizza. Of course, she used Bossa’s vegetables. Bossa finally called in to see the old owl who had a special box for him. He thanked her and went home.</span></p>

Occasionally Bossa and Nova may switch positions, swapping roles with the shapes.

Rhythm Heaven Fever Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise
Bossa and Nova are one
of those wonderful,
charming, witty, urbane
couples that their
neighbors adore.
They live in a split-
level cave in the trendy
part of Big Field with
Fruit Trees.
Bossa's work takes him
all over Big Field, and
the animals love him.
He is especially popular
among elderly animals,
who appreciate his old-
world manners.
Nova is a well-known
local artist whose
paintings adorn all the
best nearby caves.
On this particular day,
Bossa is taking a day
off to help Nova move
the largest painting she
has ever done. It's
going to a cave near Big
Hole with Mastodon
Skeleton in It. An art
collector has already
paid Nova quite a few
shiny stones and flint
tools for it.
Working together, the
two of them move the
large painting into the
cave and hang it on the
wall. Then they step
back and admire Nova's
work in its new home.
"It definitely makes the
cave come alive," says
the art collector, "but
I'm afraid it just won't
do. It clashes with the
other pieces. Unless...
I can commission some
more of your work to
replace them?" Bossa
and Nova grin. It may be
time for Bossa to quit
his job promoting conch-
shell performances and
become Nova's full-time
agent...
THE END
Bossa and Nova
lived in a house in
a giant tree. Bossa
got up early to
tend to his garden.
Bossa's vegetables
were the best
in all the land.
Nova made Bossa's
lunch every day
before he set off.
When Bossa had
left, she did her
chores and put some
flowers in a vase.
Bossa took a break
by a big tree. He
ate lunch and
tried to decide
what shapes the
clouds made in the
sky.
He shared his food
with some young
bears that were
drawn by the
smell of Nova's
delicious food.
After lunch, Bossa
took a nap in the
afternoon sun.
Nova went out
shopping after
lunch.
Recently, her
Monkey Watch had
worn out so she
went to get the
monkeys changed.
Then she bought a
rainbow-coloured
candle that Bossa
wanted. Bossa
visited the
forest's old
animals to make
sure they were ok.
He gave them his
delicious veg and
Nova's bread.
Bossa's visits always
made them happy.
Nova returned from
the shops and
made dinner.
She made Bossa's
favourite food,
pizza. Of course,
she used Bossa's
vegetables.
Bossa finally called
in to see the old
owl who had a
special box for him.
He thanked her and
went home. Nova
set the table,
dimmed the lights
and finished the
pizza.
Bossa returned to
this wonderful
sight. Nova gave
him a kiss.
Bossa put the box
on the table and
took out a cake.
He then took the
special candle
and placed it on
the top.
As they gazed
into each other's
eyes, Bossa said,
Happy Birthday!
