STAGE 7
<< >>

Tap Troupe (タップスター^?, Tap Star) is the 1st Rhythm Game of Stage 7 (31st overall) in Rhythm Heaven Fever.

Gameplay

In this game, the player controls one of The Tall Tappers. The tappers' legs occupy most of the screen, while their faces are seen in the bottom left. The player must maintain a steady beat of tap dancing with the rest of the tappers.

At certain parts of the game, a voice says "Rea-dy!" indicating a rhythm change. The player must shift to a 4:3 polymeter rhythm. This continues until the voice says "Tap, tap, tap!", signaling the rhythm is going to change back. The final "tap" is always on the next available beat in the original groove, regardless of where the previous two land, meaning the distance between the second and third tap may vary.

Controls

• Ⓐ: Tap

Timing Display

• Perfect!/Ace!^?: The player taps in time with the others. When changing back to the regular rhythm, the player taps extra hard, and The Tall Tappers gleefully say "OK!". Halfway through the game, the tapper on the left also brings out a confetti popper, and a little after tappers wave their arms up with their hands in an OK sign.
• Early!/Late!^?: The player taps off the beat, making a "tick" sound. The others look annoyed at the player. During Practice, they glance over with embarrassed looks on their faces instead.
• Miss...^?: The player taps at the wrong time or doesn't tap at all. The others blow a raspberry and make a disapproving face at the player. During Practice, they glance over with embarrassed looks on their faces instead.

Trivia

• The Tall Tappers' box-headed, human-like appearance resembles the Space Dancers and The Paddlers from previous games. The troupe's leader is also implied to be Space Gramps, furthering the connection.
• The "Rea-dy!" audio cue is later repurposed in Rhythm Heaven Megamix for Lockstep in Right-Hand Remix, Flock Step in Final Remix and Tangotronic 3000 for the finishing pose.
