Micro-Row/Development

Rhythm Heaven Fever

Micro-Row consists of the following versions in Rhythm Heaven Fever:

Internal Name	Image	Used in
flea/ver0		Micro-Row
flea/ver1		Micro-Row 2
flea/2play		Micro-Row (Two Player)
flea/remix04		Remix 4
flea/remix10		Remix 10

Unused Content

The color trail the Microbes leave behind is shaped like stars, squares and triangles. There is also a variant where each step of the trail is a circle. While this variant goes completely unused in Rhythm Heaven Fever, it eventually does get used in Citrus Remix in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Regional Differences

Usually, the prologue used between Rhythm Heaven Fever and the English version of Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise, aside from remixes, is identical. However, the English version of Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise has the ones for Micro-Row, Micro-Row 2 and the Two Player version of Micro-Row all changed to re-encode the logo from RGB5A3 to RGBA8, and using higher quality versions of the source images.

Rhythm Heaven Megamix

Micro-Row consists of the following versions in Rhythm Heaven Megamix:

Internal Name	Image	Used in
ver_short		Micro-Row
ver_long		Micro-Row 2 Final Remix
ver_remix02		Citrus Remix

Unused Content

According to the debug menu of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, an arrange version of Micro-Row was planned, which would be Micro-Row 2 from Rhythm Heaven Fever. This is further supported by the existence of strings for the arrange verison's Practice (though they slightly differ from how they were in Minna no Rhythm Tengoku), blank strings for the Rhythm Item, and blank strings for comments on the two-step move, all in Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+'s data.

Internal name	Unused text	Original text (Minna no Rhythm Tengoku)	Original text (Rhythm Heaven Fever)
rvlFleaA_tutorial_a_00	あ、またしても 見つかっちゃった？	あ、またしても 見つかっちゃった？	Uh-oh, we got spotted again?!
rvlFleaA_tutorial_a_01	じゃあ、新しい行進を 見せてあげるよ。	じゃあ、新しい行進を 見せてあげるよ。	I guess we'll teach you the supersecret march, then.
rvlFleaA_tutorial_a_02	合図の後で すばやく ２歩すすむよ。	合図のあとで、 すばやく２歩すすむよ。	After the cue, march two quick steps ahead.
rvlFleaA_tutorial_b_00	こんなカンジ。	こんなカンジ。	Yep, like that.
rvlFleaA_tutorial_b_01	じゃ、 その調子で すすむよ。	じゃ、その調子ですすむよ。	Let's go marching!

The game also has the two-step move from the original, and an icon for the Museum, which is based on the Two Player version of Micro-Row as opposed to that of the original Micro-Row 2.

Micro-Row 2	Two Player	Unused

The Practice themes for Micro-Row and Micro-Row 2 from Rhythm Heaven Fever are all leftover.

There are two unused variations of the bubbles which appear during the latter half of the games. One looks like five-sided organisms, while the other is blank. As these variants are stored between the used bubbles (which were designed with the long version in mind), and followed by the one used in Citrus Remix, it is likely these were intended to be used in the short version and the unused arrange version, respectively.
