[[File:Double_Date_gameplay.png|thumb|220px]][[File:Double_Date_3DS_Gameplay.png|thumb|206px]]There are three types of balls that bounce toward the group. The most common one that appears is the soccer ball, which bounces once. Basketballs can also appear, which skid once and then bounce. This changes the rhythm but doesn't change the speed in which the player must kick the ball. The last ball appears the least frequently; the American football. It bounces three times before it reaches the boy. It moves at a slower rhythm than the others.

==Development History==
* The butterflies from the title card can be seen in this game passing by the player. In order to see them, you must kick all balls correctly near the end of the game. If you miss one or two balls, however, the butterflies will fly away. They also appear in its [[Double Date 2|sequel]].

Perfect!/Ace!?: The boy kicks the ball away, seemingly knocking it into a nearby tree, causing leaves to fall. The weasels smile and cheer him on. When kicking away Footballs, the weasels jump for joy, surprising the girl a bit. The Football is seen in the background, where one of several characters catches or hits the ball.
Early!/Late!?: The boy attempts to kick the ball but cringes in pain as if he pulled his leg muscle. A "doink" sound is heard. The weasels look back in surprise, and the ball falls to the side.

Kicking isn't your strong suit. The footballs were tricky for you, huh?
Maybe football isn't your sport. You missed many American footballs.
Eh. Good enough.
Good try.
It's like you were born to kick! Footballs are clearly no problem for you! You did really well at the hard parts.
You've got a great kick. You can kick American footballs. You coped when the balls were flying.
Words from the Weasels
Kicking isn't your strong suit. The basketball team ran out of balls... The football team grunted angrily at you!
Eh. Passable.
It's like you were born to kick! The basketball team appreciated the rebounds! The football team grunted happily at you!
The coach thought his team lacked discipline. The truth was that the "accidental" lost balls were due to jealousy of the young couple and their better use of a beautiful day.
This game takes place in the daytime during the practice and Remix 10.
The butterflies on the prologue can be seen near the end of the game, passing by the player. Missing a ball while they're on screen causes them to fly away.
The Weasel Couple reappears later in Love Rap, sitting on the couch at the end of the game. In Cheer Readers, the boy reappears in the epilogue.
In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the clovers in front of the Weasel Couple are not effected by the sunset effect, making them appear brighter than usual. The dog which can be seen catching one of the Footballs is also unusually stretched after catching it.
