Games are controlled using , and sometimes . The object here is to clear all the games by achieving a decent score. After every five games, a Remix appears that combines those games into one. Clearing the Remix unlocks the next Stage.

Once a "Superb" rank is achieved on a game, a chance to go for a Perfect appears at random times. Other things can also be accessed through the Omake Corner. Everything unlockable in this area can be obtained by earning Medals.

Rhythm Tengoku Taikenban

Screenshot GBA Title Demo.png

Rhythm Tengoku Taikenban (リズム天国てんごく 体験版?, Rhythm Tengoku Trial Version) is a demo version of the game, which was playable in kiosks up until the game's release[citation needed]. It reminds the player of the price of the final game, the price being 3,800 yen (or 33.53$ in USD), in virtually all accessable parts of the game. It consists of a single Stage called Otameshi (おためし?, Trial), which contains three games (Karateka, Rhythm Datsumō and Pachi Pachi Sanninshū) and a shortened version of the Rhythm-kan Check named Rhythm-kan Sokutei.

Although the player can obtain Medals, there is no Omake Corner, and therefore nothing to unlock with them.

Trivia

Front of mentioned strategy guide
  • This is the only Rhythm Heaven game to:
  • A strategy guide for this game was released by Shogakukan (under their Wonder Life Special label) several months after the game released[1].
  • Some copies of the game had slightly different boxart that advertises the games compatibility with the Nintendo DS[2].
  • Rhythm Tengoku Taikenban has leftover data for everything else from the final version. There are some things that go unused exclusively in this version.
    • Marcher has the "リズム天国 おねだん ¥３,８００" text appear on the conveyor belt at the end, while in Air Batter, it appears on the last zoom-out. Marcher 2 has glitchy sprites instead of the actual text, while Air Batter 2 does not have any text. Karateka 2 has the text in the background the same way the original does.
    • Marcher and Air Batter are also set to unlocked in Rhythm Tengoku Taikenban, despite being inaccessible.
    • Although none of the games in Rhythm Tengoku Taikenban have a Rank by default, they are shown to have an OK rank after they are played, even if the player got a Try Again - which normally wouldn't change the game's Rank.
    • Although the Menu can be accessed through Sequence Test, the Stereo/Mono options are non-functional. The game is locked to Mono sound regardless of which option is chosen.
