The player controls a giant hand writing calligraphy with a surprising amount of strength. The giant hand writes automatically, while the player presses Ⓐ or taps to finish the characters with a powerful stroke when the hand reaches enough power. There are six different symbols to write:
Perfect!/Ace!?: The symbol is successfully written.
Early!/Late!?: If early, the line turns out squiggled. If late, a messy spot of ink is made. Either way, a sigh is let out. The Mini Chounin stumble over. In Rhythm Tengoku, a "doink" sound is heard when this happens, but not in Rhythm Heaven Fever or Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Miss...?: If missed completely, no marks are made, letting out a sigh. The Mini Chounin stumble over.

You needed more power in your strokes. Just...weak. Your brush seemed lifeless.

Eh. Good enough.
Good try.
You gave it a lot of oomph! You poured your heart into your brush! You weren't intimidated by the big one!

You need more power in your strokes. You lacked brush control. Your heart didn't seem into it.
Eh. Passable.
You gave it a lot of oomph! You gave it your all. That's the best brush work I've seen.

All the cool kids are so much better at calligraphy than I am...
I got these calligraphy tools as a hand-me-down from my sister, but they were so heavy and hard to set up, I just couldn't get into it. But then I started doing it to music, and now I never stop!
It plays the same as the 1P version, except it has a split screen display to accommodate the second player. As a consequence of this design, there is only one column of dancers per screen, and they walk over the paper.
