The player controls a cadet on at the end of the line, and must follow the general's orders. There are four commands: March, Halt, Left Face Here, and Right Face Here. The player must perform these with proper timing. After a while, the cadets will be dragged offscreen, ending the game.

— - Marching Orders 2P Description

Template:Game-NavTemplate:Minigame infoboxMarching Orders also appears in the 2P mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade) where it is referred to as Marching Orders 2P (マーチャ 2P^?, Marcher 2P). It plays the same as the 1P version, but with a second player controlling the second cadet in the lineup.

Trivia

• Along with the rest of Stage 1, this game has a counterpart in the arcade version at 150% speed, with a more vibrant synth for orchestration and different graphics.
• This is one of the few games in Rhythm Tengoku that has more than or equal to 3 commands while this one has 4 commands.
• This is one of a few games to have different rating screens of both versions, except to the Superb rating screen that keeps the same style as it did in the original.
• This is the only game in Megamix to use every button (the D-Pad, the "B" button and the "A" button).
