This game is played in first person view from the spaceship. A varying number of aliens will appear on the screen one by one in groups. All aliens have appeared when the music reaches the end of its chorus. The player must then repeat the number and time they appeared, relying on the rhythm of the music. If a beat is missed, that alien will escape.

[[File:Screenshot DS Shoot-'Em-Up Endless.png|thumb|left]]
{{Nihongo|Shoot-'Em-Up|シューティング|Shooting}} is the 2nd [[Endless Game]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', unlocked with 7 [[Medal]]s.
 
The basic gameplay is about the same as the non-endless version, with the player needing to shoot down the enemies by following the rhythm at which they appear. This version has the following additions:
*The player has a life bar which is depleted with every miss. If the player avoids getting hit again, it will start gradually refilling itself. If the bar is emptied, the screen turns red, signalling the player is in danger, though they still have a chance to recover. If they take damage while the bar is empty, the game is over.
*The player receives points for every successful shot in a pattern, going from 100, 200, 500 and 1000. Defeating every enemy in every half of a wave awards the player a "PERFECT BONUS" of 1000 points.
*The [[Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady]] doesn't appear between waves, instead she congratulates the player for reaching certain scores. Reaching the end of a wave instead causes a warp effect, which changes the background. The starting background is the same as the non-endless version, showing the homeworld in the top left. The second shows a variety of cubical structures with a green outline with faster stars, while the next one shows abstract blue squares, and the one after that has seven [[Space Umpire]]s without their ships in the top left. The last background shows another green-outlined structure, presumably the alien's base, and also with faster stars. Notably, the structure is also used for the background in [[Shoot-'Em-Up 2 (DS)|Shoot-'Em-Up 2]].


===OK===
Once the player has reached the end of the non-endless game after clearing 3 waves, the last three enemies do not appear. Instead, it goes to the latter two waves of [[Shoot-'Em-Up 2 (DS)|Shoot-'Em-Up 2]]. After clearing 5 waves, each half of a wave is randomized, and the enemies change shape, with stricter timing. The background loops back to the beginning, this time with a reddish-purple tint instead of the usual blue. After clearing 10 waves, the music becomes quieter during the player's turn, and the backgrounds loop again, this time with a yellow tint. After clearing 15 waves, the music mutes completely during the player's turn. The background now changes randomly each wave, using any design and any of the previous colors.

This game is also present as an [[Endless Game]], unlocked after earning 7 [[Medals]].
Gameplay is about the same as the non-endless version, but differences appear:
*The player has a life bar which is depleted with every miss. The life bar will gradually refill after being depleted any amount.
*Once the player has reached the end of the non-endless game, the last three enemies do not appear. Instead, it loops to the second wave of [[Shoot-'Em-Up 2 (DS)|Shoot-'Em-Up 2]].
*The player receives points for each hit, which rise as consecutive enemies are defeated.
*Defeating every enemy in a wave will award the player a perfect bonus.
*The background changes every two waves.
*The aliens will change if you go far enough. 
*Instead of alerting the player to incoming waves, the [[Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady]] will congratulate the player for reaching certain scores.
*The music cue mutes every time when you reach the higher level.
*If the player is hit with an empty life bar, the game ends.
==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The green aliens that are seen in the background during the Endless version of the game are the [[Small Alien]]s from [[Spaceball]] without their spaceships.
[[File:Screenshot WarioWare Twisted Wario-Man Epilogue.png|thumb]]
*In ''Rhythm Heaven'', missing even a single alien will cost you Just OK.
*Oddly, the player is able to flick in this game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', despite this action not doing anything. This trait is shared with [[Freeze Frame]], [[Munchy Monk]] and [[Drummer Duel]]. All other games that don't use the flick don't allow the player to perform it.
*In Megamix, the background in the epilogue screens from this game is taken straight from [[Wario-Man|Wario Man]]'s stage from [http://www.mariowiki.com/WarioWare:_Twisted! WarioWare: Twisted] released for the Game Boy Advance. [[File:Wario Ware Twisted Wario-Man Epilogue.png|thumb|220px]]
**This is one of the few games to keep the same controls from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' to ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' in Simple Tap mode, the others being [[Fillbots 2|Fillbots]] and [[Lockstep]]. Excluding the ability to flick despite not needing to, [[Freeze Frame]] and [[Munchy Monk]] can also be included.
*The screen the lady appears on in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' appears to resemble a Wii U Gamepad.
*In [[Remix 10 (DS)|Remix 10]], the [[Practice]] enemies and yellow background are used instead of the game's default appearance.
*The way the aliens slowly crawl towards the bottom of the screen in the DS version may be a reference to the alien's movements in the arcade classic ''Space Invaders''.
*In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the [[Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady]] is shown through a [[CommPad]], which resembles a [[niwanetwork:Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]].
*In Megamix, the aliens are fully grey, part of the spaceship is green, and the effects when the aliens pop up are green, thus making the game look more like the [[Shoot-'Em-Up 2 (DS)|DS version of Shoot-'em-up 2]].
*In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the aliens are fully grey with a green glow around them. Coupled with parts of the player's spaceship being green, this makes the game resemble the [[Shoot-'Em-Up 2 (DS)|Shoot-'Em-Up 2]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''.
*This is one of the few games to keep the same controls for tapping from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' to ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the others being [[Munchy Monk]], [[Freeze Frame]], [[Lockstep]], and [[Fillbots]].
*In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the background in the epilogue is reused directly from [[Wario-Man]]'s Epilogue Movie in ''[[mariowiki:WarioWare: Twisted!|WarioWare: Twisted!]]''
*This is actually the game with the most variants, having two more than [[Tap Trial]]. It has 6 variants in ''Heaven'' (if including it's practice), and has 3 more variants in ''Megamix'', making a total of 9 variants.

Shoot-'Em-Up (シューティング?, Shooting) is the 2nd Endless Game in Rhythm Heaven, unlocked with 7 Medals.

The basic gameplay is about the same as the non-endless version, with the player needing to shoot down the enemies by following the rhythm at which they appear. This version has the following additions:

  • The player has a life bar which is depleted with every miss. If the player avoids getting hit again, it will start gradually refilling itself. If the bar is emptied, the screen turns red, signalling the player is in danger, though they still have a chance to recover. If they take damage while the bar is empty, the game is over.
  • The player receives points for every successful shot in a pattern, going from 100, 200, 500 and 1000. Defeating every enemy in every half of a wave awards the player a "PERFECT BONUS" of 1000 points.
  • The Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady doesn't appear between waves, instead she congratulates the player for reaching certain scores. Reaching the end of a wave instead causes a warp effect, which changes the background. The starting background is the same as the non-endless version, showing the homeworld in the top left. The second shows a variety of cubical structures with a green outline with faster stars, while the next one shows abstract blue squares, and the one after that has seven Space Umpires without their ships in the top left. The last background shows another green-outlined structure, presumably the alien's base, and also with faster stars. Notably, the structure is also used for the background in Shoot-'Em-Up 2.

Once the player has reached the end of the non-endless game after clearing 3 waves, the last three enemies do not appear. Instead, it goes to the latter two waves of Shoot-'Em-Up 2. After clearing 5 waves, each half of a wave is randomized, and the enemies change shape, with stricter timing. The background loops back to the beginning, this time with a reddish-purple tint instead of the usual blue. After clearing 10 waves, the music becomes quieter during the player's turn, and the backgrounds loop again, this time with a yellow tint. After clearing 15 waves, the music mutes completely during the player's turn. The background now changes randomly each wave, using any design and any of the previous colors.
