Revision as of 14:43, 30 December 2020 by Tox(talk | contribs)("Marchosa" is also slang for "party" apparently. True translators don't just take the first result in Google Translate.)
The player controls the rookie squadmate at the end of the line, and must follow the Sarge’s orders. There are four commands that the Sarge will yell.
"Attention, March!"
"Attention, Halt!"
"Left-face, Turn!"
"Right-face, Turn!"
The player must perform these with proper timing along with the other squadmates. Just before the game ends, the squadmates will be moved offscreen, still marching as the game ends.
Controls
Ⓐ/Tap: March
Ⓑ/Tap: Halt
✚/Tap: Face left or right (depending if left or right is pressed/cued)
Marcher (マーチャ ?, Mācha ) is a version of this game and the third in the Extra stage in Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade). Here, all the squadmates look more feminine than usual, as they are wearing purple skirts and have flowers on the top of their helmets, while their Sarge's uniform is purple. The gameplay is the same, but the tempo is sped up, with a more vibrant synth for orchestration.
This game also appears in the 2P mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade) where it is referred to as Marcher 2P (マーチャ 2P?, Marcher 2P). It plays the same as the 1P version, but with a second player controlling the second squadmate in the lineup.
