Rhythm Heaven (リズム天国てんごくゴールド^?, Rhythm Tengoku Gold; lit. 'Rhythm Heaven Gold'), known as Rhythm Paradise in Europe and Rhythm World^[7] (리듬 세상^?, Rhythm Sesang) in Korea, is the second game in the Rhythm Heaven series, released for the Nintendo DS on July 31, 2008 in Japan, April 5, 2009 in North America, May 1, 2009 in Europe, May 29, 2009 in Portugal, June 4, 2009 in Australia and September 24, 2009 in South Korea. It was the first game to be released outside of Japan.

Gameplay

The game is meant to be played by holding the Nintendo DS sideways. Left-handers have an option to change the position of the visual gameplay to allow easier playing. The game primarily uses the Touch Screen. The controls, just like every other game in the series, are very basic. There are four main mechanics used, both for all of the Rhythm Games available to play and just getting around the game itself. These controls are tapping, holding, sliding and flicking, in addition to the  button that is used in Rockers 2 ( in Lefty mode). The START button is used to pause during a Rhythm Game.

Rhythm Heaven Demo Version

Rhythm Heaven Demo Version (リズム天国てんごくゴールド体験版^[8]^?, Rhythm Tengoku Gold Taikenban; lit. 'Rhythm Heaven Gold Trial Version'), also known as Rhythm Paradise Demo Version in Europe, is a stripped down version of the game for demo purposes. One version of the demo was playable at kiosks, while the other version could be downloaded through the Nintendo Channel's DS Download Service and through the DS Download Station.

In the kiosk version, the game starts with a seizure warning screen, followed by the game's Title Screen (with "Demo Version" added to the logo), and starting the game goes directly to Practice Flicking (which can be skipped), after which the player goes to the Game Select, with only the first Rhythm Game available.

Curiously, clearing Built to Scale unlocks both Glee Club and Fillbots at once, after which both must be cleared to unlock Fan Club. The Game Select also has a padlock for Remix 1, which is inaccessible.

After completing all the Rhythm Games, The Bandleader shows up to say that this is all the demo includes, and the game returns to the Title Screen.

When starting up the DS Download version, the game asks the player if they are "Left or Right?"-handed. After the choice is made, the player meets The Bandleader who first thanks the player for downloading the demo, after which they are taken to Practice Flicking (which can be skipped), and then they are taken directly to the first Rhythm Game. After each game, The Bandleader shows up to comment on the rating. If the player got OK or higher, they move on to the next game, without the Game Select.

After completing all the Rhythm Games, The Bandleader shows up to say that this is all the demo includes, and it returns to the "Left or Right?" question.

Although the player can obtain Medals in both versions, the Medal Corner is never unlocked.

In both versions, all epilogues are replaced with one thanking the player for playing the game (all of which play the "OK" jingle). It depicts the Girl next to the game's boxart. The text differs between the and versions, being "Thanks for playing Rhythm Heaven!" in and "Thanks for playing the demo! Why not try the full version?" in .

Reception

Rhythm Heaven received fairly positive reviews. Official Nintendo Magazine gave the game 82% for its "hilarious games" and "superb soundtrack" but marred it for its length^[9]. Jeremy Parish of 1UP.com gave this game a B+ as a "must-play experience" but felt forced to make use of the touch screen^[10]. Craig Harris of IGN gave the game an "Amazing" rating of 9.0 for being "off-the-wall" and "incredibly fun and addictive" but criticized the "awful lyrics" in songs^[11]. This game is known to be favorable on Metacritic, with an average score of 84^[12].

The game sold 211,958 copies within it's first week in Japan^[13]. By the end of 2008, it was the 6th best selling game in the country with around 1,350,671 copies sold^[14]. As of December 2014, it has sold 3,040,000 copies worldwide^[15].

Trivia

The game was released in North America on the same day as the Nintendo DSi in the same region.
The game's commercials in North America and other territories featured pop star Beyoncé^[16].
- In an interview, Beyoncé described it as being a change of pace from wearing stilettos and uncomfortable corsets for her upcoming tour^[17].
Rhythm Tengoku Gold assisted Kazumi Totaka with the development of Wii Music^[18].
The English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian singers are uncredited in the Staff Credits for their languages. They are instead credited in Rhythm Tengoku Gold Kokunai-ban Kaigai-ban Zen Vocal-shu.
- This is fixed in the Rhythm World, where the Korean singers are properly credited with their names.
- This is repeated for the English singers in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. Though Rhythm Paradise Megamix adds most names that were missing, the English singers as well as Maria for Struck by the Rain and Valentina Mazzeo for Love Ooh Ooh Paradise are not included.
