The three [[Rats]] run across a very, very long kitchen table. During the [[Practice]] and [[Remix]]es (and in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the first half of the game), the frontmost rat uses a stoplight to give signals. [[Ms. Whiskers]] repeatedly pops up to try to catch the rats, and when she appears, they need to stop behind a stack of plates. The music goes quiet for a few bit before it starts building up, and the rats prepare to run off.

*When the [[Rats]] stop, the stoplight shows three red lights. In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)]]'', the lights stay off while the [[Rats]] are stopped. This is reverted back to showing red lights in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
**The How to Play video for Kossori Rat 2P shows red lights, however.

Perfect!/Ace!: The white rat stops and starts correctly.
Early!/Late!: When stopping, the white rat halts abrutly, sweating a little. When starting, the white rat starts moving at the wrong time.
Miss...: When stopping, the white rat bumps into the rat infront of him, causing it to get angry. When starting, the white rat stays in place, causing the one behind him to bump into him. If the player holds for too long, the white rat falls behind, and automatically starts moving to catch up. If any rat happens to not be covered by dishes when Ms. Whiskers comes up, they will cower in fear and sweat profusely.

なかまから ひとこと
(A word from your friends)
キレが ないよ。 でだしが ぐだぐだ・・・ もう！ ジャマしないでよ！
(You weren't sharp.) (Your starts were delayed...) (Hey! Don't get in the way!)
う～ん．．． まぁまぁ、 かな。 とりあえず．．． よしと します。
(Hmm...) (Well, I wonder.) (For now...) (All right.)
きっちり とまってる！ でだしが バッチリ！
(Your stops were tight!) (Your starts were great!)
Hushed Whispers
Work on those stops! You need to practice your starts.
This antique traffic signal has been used to train young rats for many generations. They train hard every night, since they know their survival (and cheese consumption) depends on it.
It plays the same as the 1P version, but there is a second set of rats, with both players controlling the white rats. Interestingly, while most 2P games show a How to Play video instead of a Practice, Kossori Rat 2P shows a How to Play video, and a Practice right after.
