You play as a giant hand writing calligraphy with a surprising amount of strength. When the giant hand reaches enough power, press A to write. There are six different symbols to write (レ ("Re" Katakana), 、 (a Japanese comma), 力 (power), 己 (oneself), 寸 (sun, a Japanese kind of measurement), 心 (heart), and the characters つるニハ○○ムし arranged to form a face). Near the end, the game goes faster and people come out dancing.

Controls

Button Mode

• A: Write (with power)

Simple Tap Mode

• Tap: Write (with power)

Timing Notes

• Hit: The symbol is successfully written
• Barely: If early, the line turns out squiggled. If late, a messy spot of ink is made. A barely counts as a miss.
• Miss: If missed completely no marks are made, letting out a sigh.

Trivia

• There is a string in Rhythm Tengoku's code reading "リズムお習字 ２" directly after the text strings for Remix 8, meaning that this game was meant to have a sequel, but it was scrapped.
• If you miss the last one, it automatically drops the chance of getting a superb.
• The "The End" kanji that appears in Japanese version was kept in international version of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, unlike Rhythm Heaven Fever.
• In the Korean version, the title screen is different along with the rating screens and the last symbol drawn at the end.
