{{Nihongo|'''Lockstep 2'''|ウラオモテ2|Ura Omote 2}} is the 39th minigame in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''. It is the sequel to [[Lockstep]]. The speed of this minigame is cut nearly by half compared to the original, and it contains bounces in rhythm. This may make it harder than the original [[Lockstep]] for some players.

The gameplay of this game is exact the same as its prequel, but the tempo is slower and complex, which may make it harder to step in place.
The gameplay of this game is almost exactly the same, but the tempo is slower. The music has a swing rhythm (or "some bounce to it"), altering when the player needs to tap during the offbeats. The person the [[Stepswitchers]] form when fully zoomed out, who resembles [[wikipedia:Johann Sebastian Bach|Johann Sebastian Bach]], returns in this game sporting an afro similar to the ones that [[The Clappy Trio (characters)|The Clappy Trio]] wear.

*Tap: March
{{Controls|T=March}}
==Timing Notes==
==[[Timing Display]]==
*Hit: The marching continues.
{{Timing
*Barely: A small 'tick' sound is heard. The player should also notice that they are out of step with the others. '''A barely counts as a hit.'''
|just=The player marches correctly.
*Miss: The Stepswitchers on either side of the player will slap his head while doing their routine.
|miss=The player marches slightly off, resulting in a "tick" sound. This does not cause the player to fail a [[Perfect Campaign]].
==Rating Notes==
|through=The player steps on the wrong beat (or not at all) and gets smacked by the [[Stepswitcher]] next to them.}}

*The colors of the Stepswitchers's half bodies in this game, like in [[Lockstep]], were changed from the Japanese version for unknown reasons.
*Like with [[Lockstep]], the game stops tracking the player's performance during the last ten steps, meaning it does not impact the player's score or [[Perfect Campaign]].

*The Afros the painting men wear resemble the ones that [[The Clappy Trio (characters)|The Clappy Trio]] wear.
*The song uses a swing beat to differentiate itself from Lockstep. Despite this, the rating notes still refer to it as the "offbeat".
*The song used sound familiar to ''The Sweet Escape'' by Gwen Stefani.
