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. One of the flip sides has a swing rhythm, which is faster than the normal beat.
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.

*The colors were softened in the international release of ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', presumably to reduce seizures.
*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 closest to farthest zoom out's sprite is unfinished in the Japanese version, where a column of tiles is missing on the left side while the Stepswitches are marching on the offbeat. This is fixed in the International release.{{Ref needed}}
